Pardon Me ... I’ve Gotta Tell This Story

Image
  If things had played out the way they seemed headed, the fourth Sunday in July would’ve been the last day on Earth for three people I know personally—me, my wife Cynthia, and my stepson Larry. We should be dead. But I’m alive. I’m here. And I’m writing this one day later with a single, undeniable truth burned into my spirit: Almighty God— not circumstances, not coincidence—makes the final call on life and death. Let me explain. We were on our way to Sunday worship service—a quick 20-minute drive from home. The trip started out smooth, even quiet.  About seven minutes in, a sense of peace came over me. And without warning or prompting, a few passages from Scripture began repeating in my mind: “The Lord is thy keeper… thy shade upon thy right hand .....”                                                               ...

Caitlin Clark's Injury Woes: It's Time to Hit the Pause Button Before It's Too Late

By Craig T. Greenlee Let’s go ahead and say what needs to be said. Yes, Caitlin Clark is injured—again. This time, it’s another groin strain (but in the other leg).  And while the Indiana Fever’s official daily updates read like your usual “we’ll take it day-by-day” fluff, anyone who knows basketball knows better. A groin injury isn’t some nagging bruise you ice for a couple of nights. It’s the kind of pain that won’t leave you alone. It bites. And if you don’t treat it right, it can quietly wreck your season. Stop Pretending This is Just Bad Luck We all saw it coming. The constant collisions. The uncalled hacks. The off-ball nonsense the officials turn a blind eye to.  From the moment Caitlin stepped into the league, she’s been treated less like the WNBA’s crown jewel and more like a piñata in a back-alley brawl. Courtside Skullduggery? That’s Putting it Mildly The WNBA loves to cash in on her star power—jersey sales, jam-packed arenas, highlight reels, record viewership. But...

Opinion: Cheryl Reeve Went Out of Her Way To Avoid Coaching Caitlin Clark

By Craig T. Greenlee Some may call it nonsense. I call it something worth thinking about. Let’s stop pretending this was some cute, spontaneous WNBA All-Star Game moment. The “coach trade” between Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier didn’t just happen. It was orchestrated— on purpose —by one of the most powerful figures in women’s pro basketball: Cheryl Reeve. The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game takes place this Saturday, July 19, in Indianapolis—and all eyes will be on Clark. Not just for how she plays, but for who’s not coaching her. Here’s some background Originally, Cheryl Reeve was the designated coach for Clark’s all-stars. But all that changed when Clark and Collier, the other All-Star captain, agreed to swap coaches.  It’s my belief that Reeve wants no parts of coaching Clark, so she devised a slick and calculated way to bow out. Most People Will Dismiss This and That’s Fine I get it—some folks will roll their eyes and call this petty speculation. A reach. Conspiracy theory stuff....
