It's Been A Long Time Coming...But History Was Made!!!...
Last night, history was made on many levels. I remember older men telling me of a time when "colored folk" weren't allowed to play in the football and baseball leagues with whites. We played in our own leagues. And when we were allowed to finally play under integrated circumstances, we still were treated like second class citizens. We were heckled and booed by folks in the stands until our talent shut the audience up. Then we were limited to playing on the field, while the coach jobs, front office, and owner status were left off limits. But last night hopefully indicates that things are a changing. We had two black coaches and their teams to make it to the Super Bowl. Although Tony Dungy and the Colts won last night, Lovie Smith and his Chicago Bears are also winners, because both the friends Dungy and Smith proved that we could do it with a tremendous amount of class and humilty. Thank you for lighting the way for the others who will come behind you.

Aside from the game, did anyone see Prince's half-time performance? He Still Has It...

It was nice to see a black man take away the trophy. For too long we have been placed on the sidelines of a game that would be nothing without us. Congrats to the Colts and to Dungy.
It was great for Coach Dungy to get that title finally. Especially after the last team he built, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the Superbowl the year after Dungy got fired, I felt for him.
This time, he did it right and for the city of Indy. I'm not a Colts fan, but I'm not a guy who roots against them either and it's probably because of Coach Dungy. Congrats to him and right on Aziza. Both coaches came up winners!
As for Prince, the funny thing is his performance was subdued (for him anyway) and he could still outdo the best artists of today. Yeah, dude has still got it. Hiya miss Aziza!
