Common breaks down the arithmetic for those who can’t subtract or have no inclination to do so where the NFL Playoffs are concerned.

It makes sense he’s the one to do it.

There was the truck commercial, the whole foray into television and film… then Serena.

Wonder if she had anything to do with him landing a Gatorade Super Bowl ad? She is like the Gatorade G2 Everyday Athlete and all…

No slight against him tho… He wears it well and it’s good to see rappers getting their opportunities to show themselves in a different light… especially when they’ve worked so hard to evolve.

Can you say Chi City?!

He may not get Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao in the ring in the next few months, but Floyd “Money” Mayweather will still take part in the biggest fight of 2010 when he and Sugar Shane Mosely lock horns on May 1 in Las Vegas.

The hating is sure to begin. The opinions have already swarmed the Internet and all the fodder will make for an explosive night.

“This one is definitely for the fans as I wasn’t going to waste anyone’s time with a meaningless tune-up bout and asked to fight Shane immediately,” said Mayweather. “I have said ever since I came back to the sport that I only wanted to fight the best. I think Shane is one of the best, but come May 1, he still won’t be great enough to beat me.”

You kinda have to feel Mayweather. In 40 fights, he’s figured out every opponent he’s gone up against and should he make good on his guarantee(s), it’s entirely likely that others will make excuses for Mosely. Money waited too long to fight the dude… Mosely was over the hill… it’s all bullshit.

A day after defeating the Los Angeles Lakers’ arch rival Boston Celtics by hitting a fifteen footer over guard Ray Allen, Kobe Bryant had a chance to repeat his heroics against the Memphis Grizzlies and their former GM Jerry West.

It couldn’t have been a more storybook, climactic scene, as West was instrumental in Kobe’s development and left the Lakers organization to pump life into the fledgling Grizzlies during the mid 2000s.

Alas, it was a bittersweet loss for the Lakers, who ended their eight game road trip 5-3 in Memphis on a low note.

Kobe did his part to keep the Purple & Gold afloat, coincidentally passing his former mentor on the all time Lakers scoring list.

Markice “Kesan” Moore, known for a small role in the movie, “ATL,” and most infamously as a troubled soul on the MTV show, “From G’s to Gents,” is currently being sought for abusing his daughter.

Police in Marietta, Georgia are looking for Moore because of multiple fractures on his young daughter that he allegedly caused. The one-year-old girl has a broken leg, two broken arms, a broken collar bone, three broken ribs, and bruising.

Moore claims that the only injury he’s responsible for is a broken wrist that she suffered when falling out of bed in July, and that the injuries are the result of someone else. He also claims that it was never his intention to run from the authorities, he merely wanted to “get everything in order” before being taken into custody. Moore says that he plans to turn himself into authorities soon.

Moore, more famously known as “Kesan,” became well known on reality television while a cast  member of “From G’s to Gents” which was hosted by Farnsworth Bently. Kesan was known as the most troubled of the group and was forced to leave the show when other cast members began to fear for their own safety.

Slick sat down to drop some knowledge on how the West gets down. It ain’t no muthaf*ckin’ joke. But you already knew that right?
