SOURCE SPORTS: JJ Redick Airs Out Zion Williamson On ESPN First Take

Former NBA player and New Orleans Pelicans JJ Redick called out Zion Williamson on ESPN First Take yesterday for being a bad teammate. The reason behind Redick’s call out was because Williamson reportedly hasn’t spoken to his newest teammate CJ McCollum.

“Shows a complete lack of investment in your team, in the organization, in the city,” Redick said. “I get that [Williamson’s] hurt and away from the team, but you just traded for one of the 50 best players in the league. A guy that’s supposed to be paired with you. Reach out and say hello. This is a pattern of behavior with Zion that we are seeing again and again. And look, I was his teammate. I can describe him as a detached teammate. That is an accurate statement. This is basic level of humanity being a teammate. Send a text to a guy when he gets traded to your team. That is just normal behavior. That is bare minimum that you have to do.”

Redick didn’t hold much back in his rant, including how Williamson is a detached teammate. Williamson hasn’t played any NBA games this season and it looks like he wants no parts of the Pelicans. McCollum shouldn’t take the ghosting like move personal. Williamson been ghosting the organization for sometime now.

Wendy Williams

Vlogger Tasha K responds to Wendy Williams replacement suggestions.

After 14 successful seasons, it seems that the Wendy Williams show is officially coming to an end. The 57-year-old media mogul’s show is set to be cancelled in June and said to be replaced with The Sherri Shepard show this coming Fall.

Sources close to production claimed that “The producers informed everyone that the [Wendy Show] was being canceled at the end of June. Then in the next breath they hired everyone to work on the new Sherri show.”

When the news released that The Wendy Show would be replaced, many jumped to social media to suggest who they thought would be a suitable fit for daytime television including names such as Nene Leakes, Tamar Braxton, and Tasha K.

Vlogger Tasha K, who has her own podcast, “UnWine With TashaK” on Youtube has recently been in the headlines after being ordered to pay Cardi B over 3.8 million dollars in a defamation lawsuit.

After the youtube professional caught wind of her name being brought up to replace Wendy Williams, she surprisingly stated she would rather continue with her own platform.

“Listen I’m flattered with all the Wendy compliments but I have my own show. We are legends in the making Winos! just look at Everyone dranking wine now and trying to gossip. We are #TheCulture! #Revolitionaries,” the penned with the toasted glass emojis.

While Tasha seems to want to pass the opportunity down, some fans in the comments thought that the opportunity may be good for her career at this point in time, as she stated she doesn’t have the money to pay Cardi B in a recent interview. “I ain’t got it,” the show host said when asked about her 4million dollar debt.

“Who trying to pay 4 million dollars, you got it? Let me borrow it,” Tasha stated before the interviewer suggested that her money from youtube could cover the amount “It’s good but I got two children,” Tasha responded.

How would you have felt about Tasha K taking over daytime television? We see it! Check out the full video below.

SOURCE SPORTS: Michigan Head Coach Juwan Howard Took a Swipe At Wisconsin Assistant After Tough Loss

Things got extremely chippy at the of the Michigan vs Wisconsin college basketball game. In the postgame handshake line, Michigan coach Juwan Howard and Wisconsin coach Greg Gard got into a verbal altercation that turned physical when both teams convened near the scorer’s table.

Howard was upset that Gard called a timeout in the final minute of the game when Wisconsin had a huge lead. Howard said something to Gard as they shook hands. Gard grabbed Howard with his left hand to stop him from moving along the handshake line and the situation quickly escalated with both coaches clearly angry.

The two were separated and another Wisconsin assistant began yelling at Howard. That’s when Howard took a swing at Wisconsin assistant Joe Krabbenhoft.

“Apparently, he didn’t like that I called a timeout to reset the 10-second call because we only had four seconds to get the ball over halfcourt,” Gard said. “And I didn’t want to put my backups, I had all my bench guys in the game, I didn’t want to put them in that position of scrambling with only four seconds. “So I took a timeout and I got us a new 10 seconds and helped them get organized and get the ball in. He did not like that when he came through the handshake line, so I’ll leave it at that and the tape will show the rest.

Howard will probably face some serve punishment for his actions which could included a lengthy suspension.

Dolphins Shockingly Fire Head Coach Brian Flores After 3 Seasons

Brian Flores is back in the NFL. Flores has excepted a job with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a defensive assistant/ linebackers coach.

His return to the NFL comes after Flores filed a federal lawsuit alleging racial discrimination against the NFL, the New York Giants and other teams earlier this month.

“I am excited about Brian Flores joining our coaching staff given his history of developing and teaching defensive players during his time in the NFL,” Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin said in a statement Saturday.

“Brian’s resume speaks for itself, and I look forward to him adding his expertise to help our team,” Tomlin, who also happens to be the only Black head coach in the NFL, added.

The position likely isn’t intended to be a long-term one, as Flores is almost certain to pursue another head-coaching position next year. Ironically, Flores got a job with the one team the Rooney Rule came from.

With Cunningham leading the way, Team Barry came out and played a much more organized form of basketball then the other three teams. They actually was calling real plays and didn’t have the look of a pick up team.

“I tried to get some diversification, get some size, get some guys who can shoot the ball and just play good basketball,” Barry said. “I’m proud of these guys, cause every one of them did a good job. It was so great to see them playing basketball. They really went out and played the way the game should be played.”

Donald and Stephen Glover Recount Being Racially Harassed In London While Filming Season 3 Of “Atlanta”

Donald Glover Helped Write Punch Lines in 'Black Panther'

While speaking at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour earlier this week, Donald Glover and his brother Stephen Glover recounted a racist experience the cast and crew of “Atlanta” had while filming in London.

Stephen said that they and some other cast and crew were approached by a group of drunk people asking if they knew of any local bars in the area. One of the men in the group then insisted that the primarily Black cast and crew were carrying guns so that they could break into any bar they wanted to.

“Mind you, all of the writers on Atlanta are Black. So, he’s making a reference that we all have hammers, and we can just break into this place, which we kind of ignored,” Stephen Glover said. “It was so insulting, but not insulting at the same time because it took us five minutes to fully understand. He got to a point of like if the insinuation was lost on us, he got specific and he was like, ‘You guys are Black, you’ve gone to jail and you do things like that.’ Like he kept doubling down on it.”

The guys in the group continued, telling the one woman that was with them that the Atlanta crew was going to “rape” her.

“We are just standing there, like, ‘What just happened,’” Donald Glover chimed in.

Stephen concluded the story, saying that “The girl was literally, like, ‘I’m sorry,’ as she’s being taken away. So, it was pretty bad.”

Season 3 of Atlanta premieres on March 24, with Season 4 premiering later this year as well.
