Barack sat down with Boomer for one of his last TV interviews before tomorrow’s election… check it out. Remember to go vote you guys…. I will be doing so at 7am tomorrow!
We’ve seen athletes endorse presidential candidates in the past, but how awesome would it be for someone to rep their prez choice in the middle of a game?
That’s what Chad Johnson planned to do last Sunday vs. the Houston Texans. Pro Football Talk has the scoop:
“We’re told that Bengals receiver Chad Johnson a/k/a Chad Javon Ochocinco had a special touchdown celebration planned for Sunday’s game at Houston, if he had actually managed to, you know, score a touchdown.
Per a league source, Johnson had a Barack Obama banner stashed in each end zone, which he planned to retrieve and unfurl if he had scored.
Such an action surely would have drawn a stiff fine, along the lines of a $30,000 penalty.”
I’m SO pissed we didn’t get to see this! Roger Goodell and the boys would have had a hissy-fit but it totally would have been worth it. The Bengals entire season is already in the toilet, why not make history?
The Bengals play Jacksonville this upcoming Sunday… let’s hope Chad still has this TD celebration in his plans.
During an interview with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Deion Sanders a few weeks back, Deion mentioned that Snoop Dogg said hip hop needs an authority figure like Mr. Goodell to oversee things.
While I typically disagree with Roger, I do respect his ability to frighten young black men more than anyone on earth not wearing a badge. So I present to you, a list of things that would happen under Roger’s reign in rap music.
If Roger Goodell were the commissioner of hip hop….
DMX would be banned – So lets get this straight….. he hasn’t released a good album OR a good movie since Aaliyah passed away, he doesn’t know who Barack Obama is, and he’s been arrested five times this year alone??? Roger wouldn’t stand for such foolishness.. BANNED.
If Roger Goodell were the commissioner of hip hop….
You wouldn’t be allowed to diss legends unless you have more than 2 hit albums – Am I the only hip hop fan who gets sick of headlines like “Jim Jones disses Jay-Z”, or “Yung Berg hates 2pac” or something else equally foolish? Who decided it was okay to give these clowns attention? Hip hop culture doesn’t respect it’s elders and Roger simply wouldn’t go for it.
If Roger Goodell were the commissioner of hip hop….
“Video Vixens” can’t release any more tell-all books – It was okay at first, but how many more books are we going to have to endure in this genre? Okay, you gave Lil Wayne head at Summer Jam, now do you have anything else noteworthy to say?… I didn’t think so. Uncle Roger don’t love dem hoez.

Theres nothing particularly insightful about this interview, but there are clips of Scott and Obama playing one-on-one B-Ball interweaved in the segment. Stuart asks Obama a couple good questions, but for the most part the interview is forgettable.
This post on AOL Fanhouse (along with the comments) think Scott took it too easy on Obama, and also raised the question of ESPN being unfair by not interviewing John McCain.
I have to call BS, because Obama has a stronger reputation with sports and I just can’t see McCain doing any sort of physical activity with Bob Ley.
Ahaha.
This video of Barack Obama’s interview with Jimmy Kimmel last night is great. They discuss sports briefly, along with a few other silly things (like Paul’s fake injury in the NBA Finals).
