ORLANDO -- Nobody bullied Orlando Jordan when he was growing up, at least not physically.
 
"I didn’t have my books knocked out of my hands when I was walking down the hallway or get shoved in a locker," Jordan said during a recent interview with the San Diego Gay & Lesbian News. "Nobody really messed with me that way."

Thursday night football is back! The match-up this week is going to be a tough AFC/NFC battle as the 6-2 Ravens take on the 6-2 Falcons.

The Byes for this week are Green Bay, New Orleans, Oakland, and San Diego.

My Predictions for Week Ten

Ravens (6-2) at Falcons (6-2) Atlanta QB Matt Ryan is a hometown winner, and it shows with his 13-0 record at home. He will be tested this week with a dominant Ravens defense and will pass this test. Winner – Falcons

I FIRST became aware of Glenn Burke during the Tournament of Champions (TOC) high school basketball tournament. The TOC was Northern California's debutant ball for many great high school players, including former NBA players such as Paul Silas, Phil Chenier and Bill Cartwright.

In 1970, playing for Berkeley High School, Burke helped lead the Yellow Jackets to an undefeated season, a TOC championship, while garnering all-tournament honors.

A George Washington University athlete named Kye Allums came out as a transgender man on Monday, making him the first Division I college basketball player to ever do so while competing.

His coach has stated that he will remain on the women’s team.

In the video clip below, Allums and his coach speak with the media regarding concerns from the NCAA.

“Yes, I am a male on a female team,” Allums says in the video. “I want to be clear about that. I am a transgender male. I feel as if I should have been born male with male parts, but I am biologically female.”
