While working my way to graduation at VCU (Richmond, VA) a required class was “Intro to Documentary Filmmaking”. Each person had to perform a short interview and turn it into a short narrative. I chose what [...]

Mutombo retires: NBA loses an ambassador

The NBA has a newest oldest player. I am not sure exactly who that is but I know who it was. It was Dikembe Mutombo…until last night. Mutombo was playing with the Rockets last night in Portland for game 2 against the Trailblazers when he tangled his left knee with Portland center, [...]

Richmond gets an arena football team…again

I know this was announced a few weeks ago but since it involves two topics dear to me, Sports & Richmond, I will touch on it. Once the Team GM, Alan Harvie, made the announcement that Richmond’s hockey team, the Renegades, was throwing in the towel, the Coliseum knew they had to fill a [...]
