For the longest time Puma kept in the shadows, always a distant third behind Nike/Jordan and Adidas. Although Puma tended to have some of the best collaborations and names (Rihanna, Big Sean, Alexander McQueen), there was always something that almost seemed lacking. Then last year happened. After almost 20 years, Puma decided to get back into the basketball business. First order of business? Sign Walt … Continue reading Puma – The Revitalized Contender
There are very few shows that fly under the radar and at the same time get prime time accolades. Once in a while you do get a show that hits on all cylinders, gets some praise, and yet so many people are still oblivious to how good it really is. Barry, the Golden Globe nominated hit from HBO and Alec Berg, is one of those … Continue reading Barry: Season 2 Premiere
Who knew the Rocky series would be able to catapult passed the success it has achieved over 40 years? Not a lot of people had faith in the barely tested Michael B. Jordan when he was given the mantle of the franchise. Yet, here he is on the second movie, Creed II, which drops Thanksgiving. Michael B. has launched his career since then, becoming one … Continue reading Adonis Creed Gets Signature Collection
It’s hard to quantify what is good television anymore. There is just TOO much out there. Think of a network. I can most likely make a case for at least 2 shows being the best thing out. Netflix has been throwing things against a wall for at least the last 5 years and hoping something sticks. More often than not, it does. The Netflix Marvel … Continue reading Daredevil Season 3: Best Season of Television?

When I found out that Chance the Rapper was going to host SNL I immediately made a point to catch the episode, even though SNL tends to be hit and miss recently (ahem, Larry David). But how can you ever go wrong with Chance? I actually can’t think of one bad thing Chance has done. Have you seen him challenge the building of an ill … Continue reading Chance the Rapper Begs Barack to Return in “Come Back, Barack”
That isn’t a misprint. The FDA, which has an incredibly archaic method to classifying narcotics, has approved Phase 3 trials for MDMA. MDMA, a drug that many know as ecstasy, has passed the elusive Phase 2 which has been a constant thorn in the side of the pro marijuana legislation. Marijuana which is still set as a level 1 narcotic has never been able to … Continue reading FDA Approves MDMA for Large Scale Trials
The UFC has caught on fire these past few years, essentially making MMA the new boxing. There has been a huge drive to the sport as it has attracted talent from all over the world, as well as celebrity. Yet, for all of it’s fame and popularity it had not tapped into the center of the sport’s world (sorry L.A.), New York, until this weekend. … Continue reading Conor McGregor Makes History on a Historic Night
When friends – real, live friends, not “Facebook Friends” – told me about Facebook a few years ago and urged me to sign up, I asked them what it was like. Most of them talked about it in superlatives, saying how great it was to be able to stay in touch with friends all over the world and update them on the latest news and … Continue reading Social Snacking: The Facebook Epidemic
