For those who know me are well aware I do not like to travel far, so I was surely excited the travel was right around the corner to stop and visit my first feature spotlight from the Electric City (Scranton, Pa) Marty McFly, a.k.a. Marty “In Like” Flynn, a.k.a Marty, a.k.a Mr. Martin Flynn (D) State Representative for the 113th Democratic District member of the House of Representatives.
Now I really am not one to talk politics, but it just so happens we do have a few similar points about the current “situation” happening in the real world today, however that is not why I am here.

Lately there have been so many mismatches on paper that even the most naive fans can distinguish between the bouts that don’t qualify as an event, and the inexperienced, untested boxer who is signed on as a sacrificial lamb brought up four pagan steps for slaughter. Without adding a coat of lacquer enter one Takeshi Inoue who will take a thirteen hour jet ride from Japan to Houston to embrace that that trusting walk in total gullibility forsaking the common sense that he doesn’t belong in arena quite yet, let alone at the top of marque.
The other side of controlled controversy dictates that a very active champion deserves a breather from top echelon fighters now and again if he has kept his ledger filled with top contenders and mandatories. Considering the fact that when 2018 started the champion was considered a game novice himself who not only rose from total obscurity winning his belt in thrilling fashion but also defended his title twice against good opposition.

1939 was considered the greatest year in the history of Hollywood, releasing some of the most influential films in history. It was also the year which the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominated a whopping ten films for Best Picture. It’s hard to imagine each of these films will be celebrating their 80th Anniversaries in 2019. These films, each unique to their own success, come from a wide variety of genres for their stories and settings, and feature some of the biggest stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Here’s a breakdown of each film nominated.

This month-long partial government shutdown has had major repercussions Americans in the federal government. There are stories of people who can’t receive life sustaining medications or are resorting to selling the car in order to make ends meet.
Despite the fact that the House of Representatives have passed two bills to open back up the government, Senator Mitch McConnell refuses to bring the bills to the floor for a vote simply because he knows it will be vetoed by the President. The United States Congress does have the power to override a veto.

New England’s fans must be excited to watch their team storm into another Super Bowl. The only thing that stands between Patriots’ fifth appearances in six years in the Super Bowl is the much-regarded Kansas City team.
The Chiefs’ offense has been ranked at 1st with their defense being ranked 31st. On the other side, we have Patriots whose offence is rated at 5th with their defence ranked at 21st.

*Special Note*: Hello fight fans, “The Beret” here. When I first started writing for Ringside Report “The Heart of Boxing & Entertainment” I mentioned my brother Kevin, who is big a fight fan as anyone. I said that he would weigh in from time to time, well this week he had a great idea for an article and I told him that I “could” write it but he should write it….So, here is an article by special guest, my brother, Kevin (who doesn’t wear a beret) Young.

“The third man in the ring…” is something we hear prior to every fight. While the boxers risk their lives every time they step into the ring, it is the referee whose hands those lives are entrusted to. The referee’s job consists of a lot more than just breaking up clenches and warning against low blows, but they often are treated as nothing more than a punching bag for criticism (pun intended).

After Jorge Linares’ shock defeat to Pablo Cesar Cano this past weekend, the question arises as to whether Linares will be able to withstand the demands of the 140lb weight division.
Down at 135lbs, Linares was an animal, only losing on 3 occasions; one loss belonging to the likes of Vasyl Lomachenko, after the Venezuelan dropped him earlier on in their highly competitive fight.
Before his reign as a Lightweight champion though, Linares also boxed at Super Bantamweight, Featherweight and Super Featherweight, showing that at 140lbs, he is unlikely to be the force he was at the lighter weights.

As our readers have learned in this over the past several weeks, the year 1896 was truly the crucible year for the then becoming-a-city-that-year community, one that was so tiny that, prior to Henry Flagler’s commitment to extend the railroad to the shores of Biscayne Bay and to build one of his great hotels (which would be named the Royal Palm) on the north bank of the Miami River, many, if not most, American maps did not even show a place named Miami on them. In the articles it was also noted that there were several other years of great and major importance to the life and growth of the area, but, unquestionably, the bellwether year for all of Greater Miami was 1926, for it would be in that year, as I explain to my Florida history students at both Barry and Nova Southeastern Universities, that the five terrible events that would test the mettle of the Gold Coast, particularly Dade County, which was then in the midst of the greatest boom ever seen or recorded in Florida (as well as most of the country) up until that time.

Watching the video of high school age boys from Covington Catholic School from Covington, Kentucky, who were wearing MAGA hats and sweatshirts, were at the Lincoln Memorial mocking Native American Elder Nathan Phillips, who was holding a rally for The Indigenous People’s March infuriated me! Phillips who is also a Vietnam Veteran was later interviewed was in tears over this blatant disrespect that these privileged Caucasian boys from the land of Senator Mitch McConnell showed him.

Trying to take it from an unbiased perspective I unexpectedly was able to watch the big fight from the comfort of my own home, in pjs, on the laptop at the dining room table watching the snowfall! Thank you to my Publisher “Bad” Brad Berkwitt for the invite for me to watch.
Going into the fight it was hard to even take a serious perspective. With media and the adrenaline hype of the Hollywood banter there was quite the spectacle of outcome opinions being thrown around. One side we had a fighter with a big record and long career behind him, and on the other hand we had a man who is just working his way up the sport ready to take on the best to get to the top. Of course, you cannot knock a man for trying and setting huge goals. Anyone who can make it in a ring for 12 rounds still standing strong against Pacquiao has the strength and capacity to give it their best shot! However, I do agree with the outcome.

Regardless of his results inside the ring, a person with the lack of character that Adrien Broner possesses should be banned from the sport of boxing.
I understand the need for fighters to hype up their fights, to sell tickets and to draw attention to themselves so that they can earn big money, but for guys like Adrien Broner they just take it too far and they damage the reputation and the honor of a sport like boxing.
I’ve put together a few posts on “About Billions” – in fact I’ve probably given him a lot more coverage in my writing than he deserves – but I have to speak out about it because his behavior is, in my opinion, so unethical that it needs to be called out!

The saga of Howie and Sonny continued:
As noted in last week’s column, this week I’m pleased to share another true tale from my days as a Miami Beach Recreation Director (Coach).
In preparation for our enormous summer day camp park programs, Recreation Supervisor Sonny Neham would order equipment and supplies to amply provide for all the parks’ summer needs.
Cases of footballs, basketballs, softballs, archery equipment, ping pong balls and paddles, mancala (or Kalah in our day), jump ropes, volleyballs, soccer balls, bats, and more would be shipped to the storage shed at Flamingo Park in spring.
