How you keep your sports pants up. The Thin Red Movie Blog. Read between the Thin Line. December 6, 2014. Perception rules the day, but a thin line rules the nation. The line between Black pride and too Black. The line between a national dialogue on race and race-baiters. The line between justified civil disobedience and scumbags/savages. How far is too far seems to be the question of the day. A gap judged by the WWMLKD (What Would Martin Luther King Jr. Do? Looters and rioters took center stage. At some...

Thunder guard Reggie Jackson is the X-factor in the Western Conference Finals. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images). Any argument for an Oklahoma City Thunder Western Conference championship begins with Reggie and ends with Jackson. He could also offer an inside view of the coaching chess match.

How you keep your sports pants up. The Thin Red Movie Blog. Tiger Woods isn’t Serena Williams. July 15, 2015. Unexpectedly, a minority has risen to the top of one of America’s oldest country club games, dominating the field in a way not seen in quite some time, if ever. Though, perhaps, it wasn’t the one America wanted. For years, it seemed America rallied behind golfer Tiger Woods with all the fervor equivalent to electing the first African-American president. Even if you didn’t root for him, it was acc...

How you keep your sports pants up. The Thin Red Movie Blog. The Turtle Game Saga: The Mavs, the Clippers and DeAndre Jordan. July 9, 2015. If you’re looking for someone to moralize poetically about DeAndre Jordan, you’ve come to the wrong place. If you’d like be shown how the courting of a key free agent in a professional sports league turned into absurdist comedy, stick around. More on that later.

How you keep your sports pants up. The Thin Red Movie Blog. Subplots and subtext: Rockets vs Trail Blazers. April 20, 2014. Not really a case of two storied organizations battling either. There are stars, sure, but none of them are of the pedigree or have the air-time that the Lebrons and Durants of the league have (there are only two like them, anyhow). So why then, would you invest yourself in this series? If you are a fan of defense, watch Law and Order (HEYOO! 4 What will Omer do? The experiment blew...
