Bill Cosby on Michael Vick’s Super Bowl Bid, Teena Marie’s Final BTR Interiew, and Former NYC Mayor Ed Koch’s Holiday Movie Picks
Bill Cosby: During the iconic comic’s holiday address to the BlogTalkRadio family, he touches on a possible Super Bowl bid for convicted dogfighter Michael Vick—whose team, the Philly Eagles, President Obama praised this week for giving him a second chance. “For Michael to be able to go through it all, pay his debt to society, and now realize what he wants to do and how to get it, then that’s enough of a comeback for me,” Dr. Cosby tells Film Festival Radio host Janice Malone. “If he never plays in a Super Bowl, he still winds up way ahead of the old Michael Vick. So his Super Bowl was when he broke out of that cocoon and wound up as a beautiful black butterfly, as opposed to a moth flying around over the highways trying to attack cars.”
Teena Marie: 1956-2010. The Ivory Queen of Soul—who made history as Motown’s first white act—passed away Sunday in Los Angeles at age 54.

How much he loves me,” Prince‘s one-time ladylove said. “Music is a gift, and I don’t abuse it. When the inspiration for music comes to me, it comes directly from God. God likes music!”

The Bottom Line on ‘The Bottom Line’? The Most Memorable Damn Sports Talk Period
For anyone who has yet to sample The Bottom Line Sports Show, here’s an anecdote that’s indicative of just how entertaining—and unexpected—it can be: Five months ago, while retired NBA great Penny Hardaway was on announcing his intention to try and rejoin the Miami Heat to play side by side with newly-signed superstar LeBron James, Larry Fitzgerald dropped in to join the conversation. But before he got talking football, the NFL superstar revealed why he was calling from a friend’s cell. “My phone fell in the lake today,” he told host Gerald Brown. “My home boy pushed me in the water with my shorts on and my phone was in my pocket!” On that note, we now take you live to Teaneck, N.J., where Gerald (an athletic director at the Boys Club of New York by day) and his co-hosts—Jonathan Foy, Donahue Baker and Howard Cowart—broadcast from their proudly proclaimed “Mancave”…
Give us a 15-second pitch for your show—why should listeners tune in?
Many of the tops stars from the world of sports and entertainment regularly appear as guests. Plus, the show is executive produced by former NBA stars Charles Oakley and Penny Hardaway—who are never shy about voicing their opinions. And for our female listeners we’ve got actress Cherie Johnson of Punky Brewster and Family Matters fame, who does a regular segment called “What’s Cherie’s Commentary?” In short, The Bottom Line Sports Show is a heaping portion of sports talk with a double shot of humor.

"The Bottom Line" team (l-r): Donahue Baker, Howard Cowart, NFL great Keyshawn Johnson and Gerald Brown at Super Bowl XLIV.

‘NBA Breakdown’ Hosts Score Media Trifecta with ‘Daytime Toronto’ Appearance
Audley Stephenson and Dave Mendonca are shaping up to be quite the publicity machine—and we couldn’t be more pleased.
One month after our NBA Breakdown hosts launched the new season of their show with profiles in The Brampton Guardian and Mississauga News, the dynamic duo was at it again.
Only this time, it wasn’t their hometown papers splashing them across the pages. It was Daytime Toronto flashing them on TV screens across the city known as Hollywood North.

"Our ‘brand' is just to have a lot of fun with it," Audley (above) said of his BlogTalkRadio show.
“The NBA Breakdown is an online radio basketball talk show that’s just fun. It’s just two average guys talking hoops,” Dave told host Chris Greidanus during the eight-minute interview.
“You watch TV sports shows, you see guys in suits—we’re not corporate. We’re the real deal,” he added. “And people connect with that.”
