Beverly Hills Ca -A night of celebration with friends, family and fans for Daniel “Booby” Gibson that was titled “Booby’s World”. The theme of the night was Booby’s World, that had many subplots from NBA player, poet, and artist. The scene at H.O.M.E. in Beverly Hills had radio personality Tammi Mac & DJ Mal-Ski as master of ceremonies for the night.

The celebrities arrived at the red carpet that was full of photographers and video cameras looking to get few sound bites. This exclusive birthday party was in full swing once the birthday boy arrived in style with his brother K Ford and  few others. We were introduced to few of the entertainment signers and poets of the carpet earlier, which included Katelin Wagner (poet), Jasmine Williams (poet), & Amille (singer) to name a few.

Gibson now a NBA free agent this season has had time to enjoy and work on his poetry a true passion of his. This is big part of Booby’s World, the party attendees was treated to few old school songs from 1986 then 2004 which were big years for Gibson. The poetry of spoken word was delivered throughout  the lineup. Grammy nominated singer Antonique Smith graced the stage for few songs topped by leading the crowd in singing to the man of the hour Happy Birthday.

 

The night was truly a celebration that made Gibson keep a smile on his face all night. The Houston native spoke to crowded from his heart and then shared his gift of poetry and song.  For the folks that hadn’t seen this side of the NBA player now had a greater insight into what is “Booby’s World”

NFL in Los Angeles, LOL

Los Angeles, Ca- The NFL back in Los Angeles, Carson, Inglewood, Downtown oh wait City of Industry. The current stadium plan or great leverage ploy is Carson two team Stadium plan for San Diego Chargers & Oakland Raiders. I guess the old saying is true opposites attract, now this togetherness for a joint venture or leverage tool. I see this more as a leverage tool to get their current cites to jump at their command.

I would love to have football overload right here in our backyard 24 home games with a Super Bowl guaranteed in five years. Look out Indianapolis the new home for the NFL combine at one of these venues, Pro Bowls in backdrop of Hollywood. Los Angeles boast the second largest metropolitan market region in the United States but can it really support three teams. I  can recall TV blackouts of home games of the Rams & Raiders and how soon will it be before this is true again.

As for now Carson Spokesman Fred Mackfarlane had lots of inspiring words about this 72,000 seat, 168 aches of land zoned for mixed use and jointly purchased by the Chargers and Raiders. Macfarlane said this venue is about, “Community Spirit, Pride, Economic Development, Jobs, and City Future.” All three venues would benefit greatly form boost a project of this size will bring. Tax revenues alone would help make it just a little bit easier to balance their budgets. So you can only image what the current cities feel about potentially losing a large chunk of money if their teams depart.

The Chargers have tried unsuccessfully for 14 years to build enough momentum to get a new stadium in their home city. San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer appointed a nine-member stadium advisory group to come up with a recommendation for a stadium site and a financing plan last month, but the team has viewed that effort as a futile, last-ditch attempt to keep the team in San Diego.

The Raiders currently play in the aging Oakland Coliseum. The rundown stadium has had sewage and electrical problems in the past year, and now is the only stadium in the U.S. used as the home for both an NFL and a Major League Baseball team, the Oakland Athletics. The team wants to build a new stadium at the site, but talks with the city have shown little progress.

The Rams have been in a similar struggle with St. Louis but have made progress with a burgeoning plan for a 64,000-seat stadium on the city’s north riverfront.

The owners run the NFL with the idea of making more money and stability. Sports fans in So Cal will be watching the news and football on TV like we all have for the last 20 years.

 

Global Theft Ring

A hacking ring has stolen up to $1 Billion dollars from banks around the world. This is one of the biggest banking breaches; infiltrated more than 100 banks in 30 countries. American banks were targeted but at this time no breaches have been confirmed on our soil.
The hackers methods was slow and study watching, learning how these banks moved and balanced accounts. Dating back to 2013 they got into the different systems by sending random emails to bank employees. Once the employees clicked on a link, the virus was free to roam and spy on employees on their banks financial systems. After gaining enough info they would use a few different methods to gain about $10 million as their ceiling that made it hard to detected.
They used a few methods to get funds from the banks in plain sight. The Hackers reprogrammed ATMs to dispense money at specific times and set up fake accounts to transfer money into them. These types continued to work to the tune of $10 Million through Online Banking, and another $7.3 Million at ATMs.
So as things get more and more computerized look for more security but we have to remember the brains to make the firewalls security are also the same brains to hack them. Be smart and check your balances to avoid you accounts from being hit.

Los Angeles, Ca-The Big question, Which Clippers team will take the floor tonight? The Staples center Clippers fans knew the answer when Blake Griffin set up a pair of alley-oop dunks by Jordan 68 seconds apart, capping a 16-4 run that turned a one-point deficit into a 47-36 lead with 4:41 left in the second quarter. The real Clippers (17-7) add a home 113-91 victory over the Detroit Pistons (5-20). I guess have good home cooked meal does has its advantages.

The Clippers pulled away in the second half and allowed some valuable rest for the starters. Griffin led his team with 18 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assist in only 31 minutes. The other big spark on the night was reserve guard Jordan Farmer who poured in 15 big points at key situations to make sure the Pistons didn’t make a run to catch them. Doc Rivers was very happy with the teams ball movement on offense 35 assists on 43 field goals made, shooting 53.8 percent from the floor and 50 percent from 3-point range, as six different players hit from deep. Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy agreed, “They shot the ball very well, moved the ball very well, and we could not keep up. They totally tore our defense apart.”

Jodie Meeks was Pistons leading scorer with 20 points with three 3 pointers on the night.   Center Andre Drummond had 18 points, 13 rebounds, and Greg Monroe 15 points, 8 rebounds. The Pistons big men kept the game close in the first half boxing out for good position for rebound and second chance points. The rest of the starters were held under double digits for scoring. Detroit star Brandon Jennings had 6 points, 6 assists and 1 steal, not much of homecoming for Compton Dominguez High School player.

The Clippers get one more home game on this trip, Wednesday night against Indiana Pacers (8-17) at Staples Center. On the Clippers day off December 16, they will be spreading some Christmas Joy to kids in So. Cal. DeAndre Jordan is donating two basketball rims to a local Charter school; Chris Paul teamed up with Kevin Hart for bunch of kids to have shopping spree at Toys r us, and Jamal Crawford having gift boxes giveaway in Compton. Just a little bit of the good things we don’t always hear about from pro athletes, Go Clippers!

Jerry Shines Bright at Jerry’s World

2014 NCAA Football

Arlington Tx- The stage was set for the second showdown in AT&T Stadium this college season. The state of Texas fans of college football had the pleasure of seeing #12 ranked Ucla Bruins (3-0) beat the Texas Longhorns (1-2) in Advocare Cowboy Showdown in a thriller 20-17 game.  How ironic being at the stadium nicknamed “Jerry’s World” for an unlikely hero being Ucla backup quarterback Jerry Neuheisel to save the day. Jerry found wide receiver Jordan Payton on hitch and go route, with a pump fake the corner bit and 33 yards later Payton found pay dirt to secure the victory with that touchdown leaving only 3 minutes on the clock.

The lights were bright and both teams had something to prove in this showdown. The headlines were normal for Ucla which Bruin team will show up for the big game. Texas game plan was don’t let Brett Hundley Ucla starting quarterback bet us. Longhorns captain blew the coin toss giving the Bruins both kickoffs at start of the game and to start the 3rd quarter by wanting to be on defense after the Bruins already deferred their choice to the second half. On the opening drive of the third quarter the Bruins who were trailing 3-10 at the half drove 75 yards on seven plays to score and tie game 10-10. This was a big shift in momentum for the team looking for greatness out of Jerry the backup.

2014 NCAA Football

From the moment Jerry came in the game to replace the injured Hundley at 4:29 mark in first quarter after an 11 yard scramble that was costly due to some injury to non throwing arm. Jerry had to be ready at a moment’s notice and fill in during this battle, Jerry said “You’re just kinda ready for it. Obviously there are some nerves but it’s your job as a backup quarterback to go in and take control and lead your team to victory.” The team responded to him well and Head Coach Jim Mora allowed Jerry to gain confidence with high percentage passing plays and an aggressive running game that was clicking. The committee of running backs out gained Texas by 105 yards on the day while averaging 4.6 yards a carry. The offensive line stepped up the blocking making holes to allow the chains to keep moving and allowing manageable 3rd down situations.

2014 NCAA Football

Ucla’s defense really stepped up in this hostile Texas home game despite being designated the home team for this special game. Captain Linebacker Eric Kendricks lead the team with 7 solo, 4 asst & 11 total tackles for the game. But even more being that defensive leader on the field communicating to others was huge for the Bruins. Both Safeties starting their first game for the Bruins defense was #21 Tahaan Goodman who made some great hits and applied some tight coverage also adding 3 tackles. Then there was true freshman #2 Jaleel Wadood who seemed to thrive in bright lights being one year removed from St. John Bosco high school in Bellflower. Wadood was all over the field showing he belonged amassing 6 solo, 3 asst for total 9 tackles in his new role as a starter. I know the whole secondary made defensive back coach Demetrice Martin proud.   This game was great team effort to be victories and remaining undefeated.

2014 NCAA Football

The Bruins have a bye this week and will have opportunity to work on next game plan to stop strong arm quarterback of Arizona State senior Taylor Kelly. This game will be on the road in Tempe, Az  Thursday September 25, at 7pm labeled “The Blackout”

WNBA – Chicago Sky Over The Sparks

Los Angeles, Ca-The Los Angeles Sparks (6-9) came up short in the end against the Chicago Sky (8-8) 83-90. The Sparks went in at the half holding on to a slim 3 point lead. They had a 12 point lead at one point in the 1st half before the Sky stormed back in the second half.  The team’s last tie of the game was at 70 a piece with 5:15 left in 4th qtr. Then the Sky dropped two quick 3 pointers to take lead 76-70, which was enough to close it out.

The Sparks stars, Nneka Ogwumike lead the team with 26 points, 6 rebounds, and team captain Candace Parker added 22 points, 3 block shots for the game. As a team the Sparks only shot 45% for the game while the Sky shot 52% with 5 players in double figures.  The Sky’s point guard Jamierra Faulkner had her way against the Sparks defense scoring 27 points.  The Sky won the battle of points in the paint +12, and 2nd chance points +8. So by the numbers the Sky won the passion box scores.

Parker started off the game hitting a nice 18 foot jump shot to tie the game 2-2 and allowed the fans to sit down after the 1st basket. Both teams battled back and forth with good defense on display.  Ogwumike got a big steal that lead to a Spark fast break followed by Kristi Toliver being fouled and made 1 free throw to stretch lead to 5 points 23-18 at 1:56 left 1st quarter.  A few more back & forth baskets allowed the Sparks to finish with lead after 1 period 27-22. During 2nd quarter Parker heated up scoring 7 points, the Sparks had their largest lead of 12 points at 6:35 mark before the half.  The Sky Head Coach Pokey Chatman called a key timeout that fired up her team. The momentum clearly was changing from that point and the Sky began to crawl back slowly.

By the time the second half came around the Sky took a 4 point lead 52-48, 12 minutes later then the Sparks had their largest lead. By the end of 3rd quarter the lead was pushed to 7 points for the Sky. Whatever words Chatman said to her team was enough to keep them grinding. The Sparks need to find a way win games like this at home. This victory came for the Sky just off desire and will. The stars played well for the Sparks but they need to uplift the whole team’s performance to win the close ones. The Sparks get a chance to forget about this loss as they travel to Seattle Storm (7-11) Thursday July 3rd.

Anaheim, Ca- The LA Kiss had been grinding and pushing week after week for that next victory. All that hard work paid off with a 69 – 61 win over the visiting Portland Thunder. The Kiss held the lead wire to wire and never let the Thunder sniff the lead. The fans were treated to high scoring affair and a dance show by offensive tackle / fullback Andres Vargas who did the splits at 320 pounds.

The first score was a quick, a 5 yard touchdown to Donovan Morgan who finished the game with team high three touchdowns. On Portland first possession flowing a personal foul quarterback Kyle Rowley fumbles and Kiss linebacker Matt Estrada recovers it for 5 yards touchdown bringing the Kiss to 14-0 lead.  The team built up a great game on the arm of Aaron Garicia who finished with 5 touchdowns on 24 completions, 289 yards.

Portland came into the game just as hungry for a win as the Kiss did but a slow start left them chasing all game.  Their quarterback Kyle Rowley being under pressure most of the game still managed to throw for 362 yards and seven touchdowns.   Eric Rogers was Portland standout with four touchdown catches with a team high 144 yards.

This game was all about the LA Kiss and the moves by head coach Bob McMillen finding a way to win. The uniforms are the same but few new wrinkles and additions. New return man AJ Cruz was inserted in after an injury at defensive back and played well for his DB Coach Mark Ricks. On the offensive side newly acquired backup quarterback Kenny Guiton came in to run little option for a touchdown and crucial 1st down to keep a drive alive in first half that lead to a score. The always faithful Captain Donovan Morgan showed his skills as normal leading team with three touchdowns. Morgan always a flair for the dramatics caught a nice over wall diving touchdown.

Now the Kiss can look to build on this satisfying win and heal up their bumps and bruises. The next task for Paul Stanley’s team is to travel to Arizona and face the undefeated Rattlers on Saturday June 21st. The Kiss will get an opportunity to do what no other team has done yet this year, which is beat the Rattlers.
