“The sacrifices you make in your 20s pay off 30 and 40 years later. The same is true when it comes to financial progress. Every dime saved in your 20s turns into a dollar in your 60s.”
“But at the end of the day, in order for me to reach my full potential, I need an environment that allows me to be me... The executives at Fox Sports get and embrace me. Fox Sports allows me to be real.”
“But I'm not a political partisan. I don't vote.”
“You want to be leaders and you're black and I'm here to tell you how to do it. Disconnect from this social media garbage; disconnect from these celebrity athletes who don't really care nothing about you.”
“We overhype everything. We create monumental myths. There are people who still believe that Brandi Chastain and the U.S. women's World Cup team pulled off the equivalent of the Miracle on Ice.”

“Atlanta is Exhibit A in my belief that the marriage between hip-hop and sports is a failure.”
“If all of my instructions to staff during the seven years I hosted a radio show were written down and examined, I'd sound a lot like Bruce Levenson. Hell, I might sound much worse. The path to inclusion and diversity is not paved with precise, pretty words.”
