TOM JOYNER BITCHES UP ON JAY ANTHONY BROWN (And I'm Hot Behind This One)

BALLERZ & SHOT CALLERZ

Reprising their Sister Slam Show in the Wimbledon final after a five-year hiatus, Venus and Serena smacked big serves, hit hard strokes from all angles and chased down seemingly unreachable balls, like no one else does. Overcoming an early deficit, Venus beat Serena 7-5, 6-4 Saturday for her second consecutive title at the All England Club and seventh major championship overall. "I'm definitely more in tune with my sister's feelings because one of us has to win and one of us has to lose," the No. 7-seeded Venus said. "You could never detract from winning a Wimbledon, so of course it doesn't detract from that. But I'm definitely thinking about how my sister's feeling." No. 6 Serena, meanwhile, was sullen as could be afterward, as though she had just finished losing to a stranger. Which, it turns out, was the way she tried to view Venus. That the champion's trophy stayed in the family did not ease the pain of defeat."It's definitely not any easier," Serena said. "I just look at her as another opponent at the end of the day." Said their mother and coach, Oracene Price: "Well, you know, she's going to have to learn how to suck things up. Say, 'OK, I'm not going to win everything.'"

DO YOU USE YOUR 'GIFT OF FEAR?'

(Oprah.com) -- If you heard there was a weapon proven to prevent most crimes before they happen, would you run out and buy it? World-renowned security expert Gavin de Becker says this weapon exists, but you already have it. He calls it "the gift of fear." One chapter in Gavin's book "The Gift of Fear" has stuck with Oprah since she first read it. The story of a woman named Kelly begins with a simple warning sign. A man offers to help carry her groceries into her apartment -- and instantly, Kelly doesn't like the sound of his voice. Kelly goes against her gut and lets him help her -- and in doing so, she lets a rapist into her home. "We get a signal prior to violence," Gavin says. "There are preincident indicators. Things that happen before violence occurs." Gavin says that unlike any other living creature, humans will sense danger yet still walk right into it. Gavin says that "eerie feeling" is exactly what he wants women to pay attention to. "We're trying to analyze the warning signs," he says. "And what I really want to teach today and forever is the feeling is the warning sign. All the other stuff is our explanation for the feeling. Why it was this, why it was that. The feeling itself is the warning sign."

TOM JOYNER BITCHES UP ON JAY ANTHONY BROWN (And I'm Hot Behind This One)

Posted by THE fly GIRL at 10:31 AM

Up until now I've been VERY quiet on this Tom Joyner/Tavis Smiley feud. I have met and spoken with tavis on several occassions and have heard his views at length on the state of black America. And I've just felt that the media was trying to make a bigger story here than there really was...

And then I happened to hear the audio from Tom's spat with Jay Anthony Brown from this mornings show. (Shout out to Ed The World Famous for the audio)

And now all I really have to say is this: Tom you get the BITCHASSNESS of the DAY AWARD

While I understand Tom's need to mourn the loss of Tavis Smiley's contribution to his show (he was a regular commentator for twelve years) what I don't understand is why Tom feels the need or thinks it's OK to continually openly speculate about Tavis' motives for leaving. ESCPECIALLY when Tavis has already said WHY he's leaving (BTW, Tavis got a new gig...A multi-million dollar gig. For more info CLICK HERE).

But Tom can't accept that. Tom has to make this personal. And continue to perpetuate this idea that Tavis is leaving because he "can't take the heat from the Obama kitchen." That's ridiculous.

What's EVEN more ridiculous is the fact that today, a full week after this all broke, Tom tried once again to smear a man who IS NOT on the show to defend himself and finally Jay Anthony Brown spoke up and said what I'm sure A LOT of folks are thinking, "What is the big deal?"

Now I'm no fan of Jay Anthony Brown. I personally think he's kinda....Anyways, I will say that he was in no way disrespectful, He was honest, direct and approached this conversation with the same level of passion that Tom expressed. But when faced with that question, to which Tom really couldn't give a concise or direct answer, Joyner did what we in the hood call, The Bitch Move:" he sent Jay Anthony, a grown ass man, home.

BITCH!!!!!!!!!!

A man will defend himself until the end. But when you find yourself backed into a corner, you don't kick the other man in the balls. You fight it out. In other words, A REAL MAN will always respect his opponent. That doesn't mean you give up the fight, it means you respect the fact that the other man had the heart to stand and fight against you in the first place. DON'T EVER DO NO SHIT LIKE THIS AGAIN.
