Not only was he the main character in the classic movie Cool Runnings, about the 1988 Jamaican bobsled team, but Leon Preston Robinson, IV was a hoop player at Loyola Marymount University in 1978-79. He also was the black guy to get stabbed with a stick of ice by Gabe Walker (Sylvester Stallone) in the 1993 hit Cliffhanger. Also one more movie call he was laying the pipe to Kyle-Lee's mom in Above the Rim. His name was Shep and was a ex-basketball star who was now a degenerate security guard.

MOVIE/TV CALL OF THE WEEK
I will start this feature with a call from one of my favorite TV shows of all-time, The Wonder Years. No it's not about Winnie Copper but rather the narrator of the main character Kevin. The voice you hear in all the episodes is Daniel Stern. He is famous for being one of the crooks in Home Alone 1 and 2 and for being a real degenerate in Celtic Pride.

Dan Hawkins Blast on Parent
The University of Colorado head football coach Dan Hawkins came out early this week with a press conference. As the clip below explains Hawkins isn't too happy with an anonymous letter he received from a Buffalo parent. The parent wants Hawkins to give the players more time off. Hawkins goes on in the clip by stressing that this is a Division 1 program. I'm here to agree with Hawkins 100%. It is division 1 and not only that but CU plays in the Big 12, with the likes of Texas and Oklahoma. The university saves this parent over $100,000 for their son's education and they are trying to get their son more time off. It almost seems like a joke and to see Hawkins go off is quite funny and will be stored in the archives of ESPN for a long time.
The thing I didn’t like by listening to this take over fives times, is Hawkins needs to understand a key lesson of time and place. It does no good for screaming at a press conference. Yes he is a very intense and competitive person but as the face of the program he cannot loose his cool on an anonymous letter from a parent. Anyway below is the sound bite so enjoy:
