Getting Rid Of Chief Wahoo Is The Right Thing To Do
The announcement has been made. Major League Baseball & the Cleveland Indians will finally get rid of the Chief Wahoo logo after this season. Now there are many reasons for this, protests from Native American groups, criticism from those who believe in political correctness among others.
Don’t be fooled. The main reason for the elimination of the logo is because the Indians will host the MLB All-Star Game in 2019. It’s that simple. Want to host the MLB All-Star Game? Get rid of the logo. Business, pure and simple.
But with that being said. It is the right thing to do. I mean, just look at it. It is a horrific stereotype of a race of people. Red-faced with a cartoonish toothy grin and a feather sticking out of it’s head. It is disgustingly offensive. At some point, the issue of the team name must be considered as well. But this is a good first step.

Mayweather vs McGregor Lived Up To The Hype
Well, what do you know?
The spectacle known as “Mayweather vs McGregor” actually lived up to all of the unbelievable hype that led up to it. Surely you remember the tour both took to talk trash to each other…
Most who were “in the know” said there was no way the “Fight Of The Century” could live up to the hype. No way a MMA fighter could hang with a boxing legend. No way this could not end in a train wreck. No way it would go more than a few rounds.
Well, guess what? It did and then some. McGregor proved he belonged in the squared circle and Mayweather once again showed why he is now 50-0. It was a truly great event & I was honored to have seen it. I know Floyd said this was his last fight but I think no one would be upset if there was a rematch.
Get Well Soon Ric Flair!
Pro Wrestling Legend Ric Flair is currently going through some rough medical times.
He was placed in a medically induced coma while getting unspecified surgery.
Word is he got through it fine and is resting comfortably.
We would like to wish Ric all the best. Because “To Beat The Man, You Got To Be The Man!” WOOOOOOOOOO!
What’s Going On?
The harrowing events this past weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia between protesters became deadly in this car crash…
We look back to the words of Marvin Gaye in light of this divisiveness…
Get Hyped For Buckeyes Football
Buckeyes Football is almost here. Expectations are very high for 2017 and that is good.
Let’s get hyped up! O-H! I-O!
Do we really need “Carpool Karaoke-The Series”? Apple seems to think we do.
Be honest, you really hope this ends in a fiery crash, don’t you?
RIP GLEN CAMPBELL
The music world has lost a legend.
Country Crooner Glen Campbell has passed away after a lengthy bout with Alzheimer’s.

WORST FIRST PITCHES OF ALL TIME!
The beginning of the Major League Baseball season is upon us and there is no tradition like the first pitch. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the Worst First Pitches Of All Time.
Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent was juuuuuussssst a bit outside on his first pitch for the Mets.
Former Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory also leaned to the left, not just politically but with this first pitch before a Reds game.
Last but not least we head back to the Mets as Gary “Baba Booey” Dell’Abate of “Howard Stern Show” fame joined the “Wack Pack” of First Pitches with this lame attempt.
Now on a personal note, the author of this article will throw out a first pitch on July 1st for the minor league Chillicothe Paints. I pray to God my first pitch will not make this list next year.
March Madness Commercials > Super Bowl Commercials
Super Bowl Commercials? Nah.

And how can you resist Samuel L., Chuck & Spike?
Give us March Madness & it’s commercials any day.
(Ok, DirecTV & Capital One…slide us a few bucks…)
TRUMP VS. ALIENS…SPACE ALIENS

TRUMP CONTINUES TO FREAK HOLLYWOOD OUT!
We are on the verge of Donald J. Trump being inaugurated as our Next President and Hollywood continues to freak out. Take a look at this video of “stars” such as Amy Adams, Matthew McConaughey, Emma Stone, Natalie Portman and more singing “I Will Survive” in a “protest” of President Trump.
What do you think? A reasonable protest of Trump or another example of Hollywood “overacting”?
COME ON DOWN!!!!
Our very own Scott Spears had the honor of interviewing TV Legend Bob Barker. Bob, as most of you know, was host of “The Price Is Right”. Did you know he hosted the show from 1972 until 2007? Ohio’s very own Drew Carey does a good job of hosting “The Price Is Right” but there will never be another Bob Barker.
Here are some highlights from Bob’s time as host–
