The Cauldron

I played in the NFL for eight years, but I’ve been a gamer for 26 — I’m sick and tired of the misogynistic culture in the gaming community.

From being stuck in a foreign country during a coup attempt, to being traded from the only team I’ve ever played for, it’s been a wild…

Yes, I have a “problem,” but it’s not the one all of you seem to think it is.

One short ZERO-G flight for man; one giant ollie for mankind.

Now 10 years after throwing my last pitch in the Majors, I’ve stopped questioning why things happened the way they did — and that’s made…

Being left out of this year’s midseason festivities in New York isn’t a snub. It’s just not part of God’s plan for me. Yet.

I’m a 6-foot-8, 270-pound black man suffering from anxiety disorder, and I have legitimate reasons for concern.

What you think about pro athletes is heavily influenced by what you read and hear about them — and oftentimes, those things aren’t true.

Retirement isn’t easy, particularly when it’s not on your own terms. That’s why I’m signing with the Philadelphia 76ers.

There were times — a good majority of my career — when I didn’t play well, but the ups and downs helped set me up in life.

The National Football League is a grotesque, profit-driven circus, but don’t be fooled — as players, our eyes are wide open.

Social media has revolutionized athlete-fan interaction — mostly for the better — but NFL policy around it is misguided and self-serving.

And no matter what happens — on or off the field — family comes first.

Taking a knee or raising a fist in support of change is more than a symbol. It’s a means to start a critical dialogue.

Setting the record straight on my tenure with the New York Knicks and the Matt Barnes “situation.”

As far as I’m concerned, my journey is just getting started — and I’m determined to keep doing things my way.

Thanksgiving is the best holiday of the year. This year, I’m thankful for the unconditional love and support from my Most Valuable Parent.

Forget who’s “black enough,” it’s time to acknowledge what we really mean when we talk about the NFL, violence and race.
