The Deck at 260 Volume 36


Happy Easter/Final Four weekend! It's sizzling on the Deck and these are weekends I love. 

Pooh Sheisty v Gucci Mane, Good Friday, Lent is Over, CB kissing married woman on stage, SC beating UCONN, Dawn v Geno

Gucci Mane was confronted by Pooh Sheisty and his crew over a record deal gone wrong. Many were calling Gucci out for not reacting differently. It's called adulting and not knowing every angle of the situation. Plus you have to move differently when a person openly calls himself Sheisty. 

Speaking of reacting differently. the debate of the weekend was no doubt Geno v Dawn after the SC/UCONN women's game was over. Dawn reacted as she should have, like a lady. She has a region and culture of supporters that back her. Geno sadly does have a history of behaving this way especially towards female coaches. He has a huge inferiority complex that the late great Pat Summitt called out years back. It hasn't stopped UCONN's women program from countless wins, championships and high profile recruits. What we're witnessing now is the apex of Dawn's/SC dynasty run and the ending of UCONN's under Geno. Quite frankly after 54 straight wins he's highly salty about it. 

Let's not let this tiff take away from what SC girls accomplished last night. Outmatched on paper. Losing 3 key players, including the controversial transfer of Lay Fulwiley and SC is back in the championship game. UCONN star Sarah Strong was so shook at the real-time matchups she ripped her jersey. Joyce Edwards is developing into a star before our very eyes and Raven Johnson is the leader we always knew. Now they have to finish the job on Easter Sunday against UCLA. 

Good Friday is one of the most underrated holidays of the year. It's the start of one of the most sacred weekends in religious culture. I don't always get nor take off for Good Friday. It's quite a time even if folks don't always remember the reason. 

Another reason for the above is Lent is over! If you're a non-Catholic like myself that practices it I will say Good Friday hits differently. It means while your sacrifice is small compared to the one Christ made, it's meaningful as well. I come out of Lent every year feeling accomplished. I encourage anyone of any faith to try it out. 

Also Chris Brown can't stay out of the news long. With Cardi B shaking her booty on her way to our region soon, Breezy had a married woman on stage (didn't know) and she tongue kissed Chris. Now first of all, that doesn't speak well to the woman to be going around kissing anyone. Secondly, what type of marriage does she have? There are too many questions here and especially after watching the clip, I don't think this one is on C-Breezy. 

Happy Easter all!
