Story and Art by Gail Nobles Ladies and gentlemen, gather around and allow me to entertain you with the news of last night’s Super Bowl extravaganza, a clash of titans that saw the Philadelphia Eagles soar to unprecedented heights against the formidable Kansas City Chiefs! Oh, what a spectacle it was, a veritable feast for the senses that unfolded under the bright lights of the grandest stage in football! The curtains may have only been drawn on the first quarter, but take note, fans, for it was Jaylen Hurts, that indomitable force of nature, who opened the scoring with an early touchdown that etched the Eagles' name on the scoreboard! With the score finely poised at 7-0 dawning upon us, it was clear that the crowd was buzzing, their hopes soaring sky-high as our story began to unfold. But wait! The second quarter roared to life as Cooper DeJean, a name you’ll not soon forget, carved through the Chiefs’ defense like a hot knife through butter, propelling the Eagles to a staggering 16-0 lead. The cadence of the game, the ebb and flow of strategy, danced on the edge of triumph, and by the 2nd quarter, it was 17-0—a testament to the Eagles' resilience and composure! As we rolled into the third quarter, AJ Brown stepped onto the stage, and my oh my, what a performance it was! And suddenly, the score ballooned to 23-0. But in a jaw-dropping series of events that would make the most seasoned of fans jump out of their seats, Devonte Smith joined the revelry with yet another touchdown that brought the Eagles to an astonishing 33-0! At this juncture, my friends, you could practically hear the collective gasp of disbelief reverberating through the stadium! The Chiefs, while proud and valiant, were finding it exceedingly difficult to rise to the occasion. As the clock ticked away and the dust settled on this grand encounter, the Eagles emerged victorious with a score of 40-22. In the grand tapestry of football history, this performance will surely be woven as a defining moment. The Eagles, ladies and gentlemen, not just champions of the game, but poets on the field, crafting a narrative of brilliance that will be spoken of for ages to come! So there you have it, a resounding celebration of athletic prowess, strategy, and the timeless love affair between football and its fans! You're listening to EPS. I'm your host, Gail Nobles.…
Photo: Wikipedia CC BY 2.0 Story by: Gail Nobles Today we’re going to talk about the extraordinary career of the one and only Bo Jackson! Now, let’s be clear: this man was not just your run-of-the-mill athlete. No, sir! Bo was a phenomenon, a force of nature, a two-sport superstar who made headlines in both baseball and football. In baseball, Bo had a knack for leaving those poor bats in splinters! Striking out? No problem! He’d snap a bat over his knee like it was a mere twig. Groundout? How about a little theatrics—one bat shattered over his head! It was a sight to behold, and the sheer strength he displayed was a testament to his incredible athleticism. Let’s shift gears to the football field, where Bo put on another spectacular show. He was known for his blazing speed, clocking in at a jaw-dropping 4.13 seconds for the 40-yard dash. And let me tell you,, that’s faster than a cheetah chasing down its dinner! This man didn’t just play football; he dominated it. He dazzled the college ranks, winning the coveted Heisman Trophy, symbolizing the best in college football. But, oh, what a twist of fate! A devastating hip injury cut short his NFL journey, leaving fans and analysts alike pondering, "What if?" What if Bo could have played a full career? The mind races with possibilities. It’s a true sports tragedy, because when you talk about the most naturally gifted athletes in history, Bo Jackson's name is right there at the top of the list, shining bright like a diamond. Whether he was smashing bats or blazing down the field, Bo Jackson represented the pinnacle of athletic prowess. A dual-threat, a legend, and an icon of sport—a hallmark of greatness that, sadly, we can only imagine if it had continued. You're listening to EPS. I'm your host, Gail Nobles.…
A Modern Day Giant In Lakers Lore Photo: Erik Drost - https://www.flickr.com/photos/edrost88/51959674513/ Usage: Wikipedia CC BY 2.0 Story by: Gail Nobles Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to EPS! Let me bring your attention to a towering figure in the world of basketball—the one and only Anthony Davis. Yes, we've seen giants walk the hardwood before—names like Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar have graced the iconic Los Angeles Lakers. What do they all share, you ask? They stood tall, both physically and in the Los Angeles World of basketball greatness. Now, let's put this in perspective. Chamberlain, in his time as a Laker from 1968 to 1973, made a jaw-dropping 17,783 points, becoming a crucial piece of the Lakers’ success. Then we had the great Kareem, the skyhook magician, lighting it up with a staggering 24,176 points from 1975 to 1989 with the purple and gold. Both of these legends shaped their eras, and they did so from the lofty heights that only a few can claim. Enter Anthony Davis, a man who was acquired by the Lakers in July 2019. The trade was no small affair, mind you. The Pelicans sent Davis packing, trading him for a bundle that included Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and three first-round picks. It was a transaction that set the stage for a new chapter in Lakers history. Davis made his much-anticipated debut on October 22, 2019, putting the league on notice with 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists, though it was a loss to the archrival Clippers. However, it wasn’t long before he started rewriting the record books. Just a week later, on October 29, Davis became the first Laker to post a 40-point, 20-rebound game since the great Shaquille O'Neal did it back in 2003. But hold your horses—he did it in just 30 minutes! That’s right—30 minutes to make history! But wait, there’s more! In that electrifying performance, he set the NBA record for free throws in a quarter with 18, matching those numbers in a half and even setting the game record at 26. That’s making a statement, folks! From 2019 to 2025, Anthony Davis has dazzled fans with his variety and skill, racking up a considerable 7,739 points in that time. While some may see that number and think it doesn't stack up against Wilt or Kareem, let me remind you—he's still writing his story. Then came February 2, 2025—an earth-shattering trade to the Dallas Mavericks, where he joined forces with the incomparable Luka Dončić. Two reigning All-NBA players exchanged midseason? You bet your sneakers, folks! This was a monumental deal that shook the very foundation of the league. So there you have it—a brief glimpse into the career of Anthony Davis—an athlete who stands tall among the greats and continues to carve his own legacy with every jump shot, rebound, and blocked shot. In the world of basketball, height isn’t just about inches—it’s about impact, and I’d say Davis is definitely making his mark!…

A right winger by trade, Ace donned the colors of not one, not two, but eight different teams in the illustrious National Hockey League—yes, indeed, the NHL!

Today, you can find him dazzling audiences as an analyst on NHL on TNT and MSG Network, sharing insights with that ever-so-charismatic flair we’ve come to expect from him. But wait, there’s more! Ace is not just a hockey aficionado; oh no, my friends! He’s ventured into the pulsating world of hip hop as the founder of Big Up Entertainment, a record label where he passionately nurtures emerging artists. It’s a fascinating juxtaposition—a man who skated on ice now navigating the vibrant landscape of music. So, whether he’s dissecting game strategies or promoting the next big rap sensation, Anson “Ace” Carter is a multifaceted spectacle, proving that once a competitor, always a competitor—in sports, in music, and in life.

Background music: Passion Hi Fi Photo: Wikipedia Public Domain Story by: Gail Nobles Allow me to take you on a journey through the world of basketball, where we find the remarkable George Gervin—better known by his legendary moniker, “the Iceman.” Gervin is known for the finger roll and using all of the backboard. Born on April 27, 1952, Gervin graced the courts of both the American Basketball Association (ABA) and the National Basketball Association (NBA), leaving a legacy as smooth as his jump shot. Let’s talk numbers. This exceptional talent averaged at least 14 points per game over a stellar 14-season career. That’s consistency! By the time his days on the hardwood came to a close, he boasted an astonishing average of 26.2 points per game. We’re talking about a scoring machine! His impact on the game didn't go unnoticed. In 1996, he was honored as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, and just a few years ago, in 2021, Gervin joined the elite ranks again as one of the 75 greatest players in history. Now that, my audience, is a testament to his talent and enduring legacy! So let’s raise a glass to George Gervin, the Iceman, whose artistry on the court not only dazzled fans but reshaped the shooting guard position. A true icon of the game! I'm Gail Nobles.

Photo: Spotify Promo Card Permission Sound effects: Pixabay.com Story by: Gail Nobles STREETBALL Richard “Pee Wee” Kirkland, a streetball legend with a story as dynamic as his game! Born on May 6, 1945, in the heart of Manhattan, Pee Wee rose from the concrete playgrounds to make a mark in the world of basketball. High school hoops? No problem! At Charles Evans Hughes High School, our man Kirkland was lighting it up as an All-City guard. Let’s give it up for those skills! With a fierce determination and undeniable talent, Pee Wee earned a scholarship to Kittrell College down in North Carolina. And did he deliver? You bet! Averaging a jaw-dropping 41 points per game, he was a scoring machine! Then it was on to Norfolk State University, where he teamed up with none other than future NBA star Bob Dandridge. Together, they propelled the Spartans to a spectacular CIAA championship in 1968. With a record of 25-2, they were a force to be reckoned with, though they faced a tough exit in the second round of the NCAA Division II Men's Tournament. But Kirkland didn’t let that stop him! Now fast forward to 1969. The Chicago Bulls came knocking, drafting him with the fourth pick of the thirteenth round! A life-changing opportunity, right? Well, folks, it seems Pee Wee had other plans—rumor has it he turned down the NBA gig because he was raking in more cash through his hustle in the streets. Talk about choosing your own path! But Kirkland didn’t just leave the game behind; he transformed it! He created the "School of Skillz," a phenomenal basketball and life skills campaign in partnership with Nike! What started as Saturday camps in Harlem has ballooned into a nationwide movement, inspiring the next generation with skills both on and off the court! As a high school coach at The Dwight School on the Upper West Side, he clinched championships and made waves—even mentoring youth like Hanif "Camel" Warren. Pee Wee uses his phenomenal street cred and basketball prowess to connect with at-risk youth, helping them navigate their paths and reshape their ideas about what it means to “keep it real!" Pee Wee Kirkland is more than a name in the game. Make sure to keep an eye on this legend as he continues to spread his message across the nation—on and off the court! Stay tuned, because this is one incredible story that keeps unfolding, right here in the heart of basketball culture! You're listening to EPS. I'm your host, Gail Nobles…

Photo: Keith Alliso Usage: CC BY-SA 2.0 Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter are both retired NBA stars. Their recent partnership in joining the ownership group of the Buffalo Bills marks an exciting chapter in their careers beyond the basketball court. As cousins, their bond has been highlighted over the years, and both have had successful careers that have made them household names. McGrady, a seven-time NBA All-Star and two-time scoring champion, is known for his scoring ability, versatility, and innovative play style. Carter, a highlight-reel legend and eight-time NBA All-Star, is celebrated for his aerial acrobatics and longevity in the league. Their decision to become involved with the Buffalo Bills is noteworthy for several reasons. First, it reflects a growing trend among former athletes seeking to diversify their portfolios and invest in professional sports franchises. In recent years, several former athletes have transitioned from being players to becoming owners or executives, demonstrating a desire to have a lasting impact on sports beyond merely competing. The Buffalo Bills, a franchise with a passionate fan base, has enjoyed a resurgence in recent seasons, making significant progress in the NFL under head coach Sean McDermott and quarterback Josh Allen. Having McGrady and Carter as part of the ownership group could bring new energy and perspective to the team, potentially tapping into their experiences in high-stakes environments and their understanding of sports culture.

Photo of Mike Tyson: Wikipedia CC BY 2.0 Photo of Jake Paul: Erik Drost Usage: Wikipedia CC BY 2. 0 Story by: Gail Nobles You know, it’s funny how people react when they see two fighters step into the ring, one a seasoned old lion and the other a brash young cub. Like some folks are squawking about how a 58-year-old Mike Tyson should never have been allowed to face off against a 27-year-old Jake Paul. Well, let me tell you, it seems to me that if Mike Tyson wants to lace up the gloves and step into the ring, who are we to rain on his parade? Now, don’t get me wrong. I understand the concerns. Tyson has had his share of ups and downs, both in and out of the ring. But here’s a guy who’s been punching since before many of us could even tie our shoes. A former heavyweight champion, a man who once struck fear into the hearts of opponents. Is he past his prime? Sure, but have we ever met a fighter who really retires? They say you can’t take the fight out of the man, and in Tyson’s case, the spirit is still alive and well. Sure, the naysayers will point to his age and say it was irresponsible for the fight to even happen. They cluck like chickens about him getting hurt or embarrassed. What they don’t seem to get is that Tyson is an able-bodied man making his own choices. He wanted to fight, and he did. End of story. It’s a bit like telling an artist they shouldn’t paint anymore because they’ve been doing it for decades. If the brush is still in hand, let them create. Now, Tyson did end up losing the match against Jake Paul, and I can hear the chorus of critics already. “It was a terrible thing for Mike Tyson to fight,” they say. But who measures what’s terrible? If Tyson looked in the mirror, saw a fighter staring back, and thought he could go for it, then he should have the right to do so. It’s not like he was dragged to the ring against his will. He signed up for it. He trained. He stepped into that squared circle and took his chances. In the end, isn’t that what sport is all about? Taking risks, rolling the dice, and letting life unfold. So maybe Tyson lost, but in the grand scheme of life, it was his fight to have—literally and figuratively. And you know what? For that, we ought to give the man a little credit for still having that fire in his belly at 58. Just because he lost doesn’t mean he didn’t win in other ways—like showing that the spirit of a fighter never really retires. Thank you for listening to EPS. I'm your host Gail Nobles.…
Story by: Gail Nobles Cover Art by: Gail Nobles When we speak of the A7FL, we’re not merely referencing a league; we’re addressing a bold manifesto! A veritable lion who boldly holds a cross in the realm of football, defying the conventions dictated by the hulking pads and glossy helmets of yesterday. Oh, what a sight it is, my friends! Players dive, dodge, and run with a raw, unadulterated ferocity. You know, I’ve been watching football for years, and every time I see those players coming onto the field in their shiny helmets, I can’t help but wonder—should the NFL take a page out of the A7FL’s book and ditch the helmets altogether? First of all, helmets were supposed to protect players from concussions and head injuries, right? But with the way the game is played today, it seems like those helmets are more like weapons than anything else. Players are throwing themselves around like it’s a demolition derby, and I can’t help but think those helmets give them a false sense of security. Now, the A7FL—those folks are doing something different. They’ve tossed the helmets aside, and what do they get? A game that demands more strategy, better tackling techniques, and a greater emphasis on skill rather than brute force. When you take away the helmets, players are much less likely to lead with their heads because—guess what? They don’t want to get hurt! It's a simple concept, really. You can only fool around with your noggin’ so much before it decides to stop working properly. But then, there's the NFL—the big league, the money-maker. Would they really be willing to take that step? What’s the price we’re willing to pay for entertainment? Are we willing to sacrifice the long-term health of our players for a few extra moments of bravado? Now, I'm not saying the NFL should jump into this helmet-free world immediately. We need to consider practical implications—like injuries and safety protocols. But just maybe, by stripping down the armor, we’d get a game that’s more about finesse and less about smashing heads. Football is already a sport that’s evolving; we’ve seen rule changes to protect players. Why stop there? After all, it’s all fun and games until someone gets a concussion. So, in the end, the question remains—should the NFL follow the A7FL and go helmetless? I don’t think we’re ready to make that leap just yet, but it sure is food for thought. So here’s to the A7FL a league that symbolizes safety here’s two its lying like spirit carrying a cross of safety while showcasing a bold departure from the norm. I'm Gail Nobles.

Sound effects: Pixabay.com Photo: Wikipedia Public Domain Story by: Gail Nobles Info from: Wikipedia Welcome, sports fans, to a riveting recount of the life and career of James "Fly" Williams, an electrifying figure in the world of basketball! Get ready for some high-flying action as we zoom through his story with all the excitement of a live game broadcast! And here we go! It’s February 18, 1953, and we have a new player on the scene, born and raised in the bustling streets of New York! James "Fly" Williams bursts onto the basketball stage like a fast break! Fast forward to 1978! The crowd gathers at the IS8 League, where Williams dazzles the audience, dropping an astonishing 100 points in a single game! What a performance! James Floyd Williams is an awesome former professional basketball player and a street basketball player. The draft year is 1974! Williams is hot off a stint at Austin Peay State University, recruited by the legendary Leonard Hamilton. His collegiate numbers? Oh, just a casual 29.4 points per game in '73! That's good enough for fifth in the nation, folks! He’s not just in the game; he’s dominating it! It’s tournament time! The Austin Peay Governors make a splash in the NCAA tourney! Williams scores 26 points in their first-round victory over Jacksonville University. The momentum builds, but in the next round, heartbreak strikes! The Governors face the powerhouse University of Kentucky and drop a nail-biter in overtime. But Fly isn’t done yet! He races back into the spotlight, scoring 51 points twice as a freshman. Now that’s what we call a scoring machine! And we’re back on the court! By the sophomore season, Williams is averaging an impressive 27.5 points per game—third highest in the entire NCAA. Once again, he leads the Governors to the NCAA tournament, but this time the dream ends early against Notre Dame. *Tough break, but this guy is relentless! With 1,541 career points at Austin Peay and a jaw-dropping 28.5 average, Williams turns pro! The Denver Nuggets scoop him up in the first round of the 1974 ABA Draft as the second overall pick! But slow the action down—his rookie season with the Spirits of St. Louis is a rollercoaster! After a promising start, he only averages 9.4 points per game. Showmanship starts to overshadow those scoring numbers! Back to the game! The Spirits face a tough season and, unfortunately, the ABA-NBA merger puts them on the chopping block! The crowd hold their breath—what’s next for Fly? The Philadelphia 76ers grab him in the draft, but no contract means we’re not done yet! But the story doesn't end here! In retirement, Williams reinvents himself, giving back to the community by working with disadvantaged youth while still hitting the asphalt for some streetball action. His legendary status is solidified as he’s named the number two athlete in the "50 Greatest Streetballers of All Time!" The legend of Fly continues! And to cap it all, Austin Peay graciously retires his number 35 jersey on February 5, 2009. What a tribute to an unforgettable career! And there you have it, folks! James "Fly" Williams—a remarkable journey of highs and lows, triumphs and trials, but always, always soaring to new heights! This story, much like the game of basketball, is never truly over!
