When Miles Rawls, commissioner, color and play by play man extraordinare of the famed Goodman League gives the players a handle, alias, nickname, streetball name, etc, it either sticks immediately or grows on you. It's probably creative genius for him to be able to come up with a title within seconds of seeing a player on the court but either way that person's life takes on a new shape, a new brand identity, and for Andrew "The Sponge Bob" Washington, it can be a marketing push.

The Olympics begin this Friday. The 16 day event is an opportunity to unite the world with the magic of sports. At least that is what was intended when the event first took place. Now there are professionals instead of amateurs, a record number of drug tests and the U.S. men's basketball program that is left to come up with gimmicky team names (Redeem Team) to win the gold that usually was a forgone conclusion. It's like a three ring circus, with a couple extra rings. But don't worry. If you just want a three ring circus, there are plenty of places to look here in the U.S. The NFL, NBA and college football all offer plenty of excitement good, bad or annoying (mostly annoying)this week.

Each year for the Hall of Fame ceremony, it is always the same question or comment – I thought he was already in or why did it take so long? Each retired player must wait five years to be on the voter’s ballot and only six players can be enshrined each year, so everyone can not be elected at one time. There are border-line players and players that will get into the HOF, eventually. But there are some players that are shoe-ins, no brainers, to get into the HOF right away like former wide receiver of the Washington Redskins, James Art Monk.

To be born into a family with a great name is a blessing and to continue that legacy is just as special. To attempt to make a great name greater is the ultimate challenge. This is a challenge the graduate from Howard University and younger brother of the great Jonathan Ogden, recently retired from the Baltimore Ravens, Marques Ogden, 27, is willing to take on. “The family’s name means more to me than money,” said Ogden.
