Kind of awesome
Who do you pick? Kevin Durant. Duh. The Oklahoma City Thunder star has a reputation for being Mr. Nice Guy off the court, so the partnership makes a lot of sense. This is more than an endorsement deal, though; it’s an initiative. The program, dubbed Strong and Kind, aims to promote — you guessed it […]

A national celebrity
KOCO sports director Mick Cornett was no different. When I grew up and became a businessman and a community volunteer, I had the opportunity to get to know Cornett. By then, he was Councilman Cornett, soon-to-be Mayor Cornett. Candidly, he was still larger-than-life to me. Imagine my surprise to find that “Mayor Mick” was just […]

Witchboard / Night of the Demons
Written and directed by Kevin S. Tenney, the 1986 chiller begins at a party held by couple Jim (Todd Allen, Django Unchained) and Linda (Whitesnake video vixen Tawny Kitaen).

Letters
These were $200 per ticket “Stage VIP, all access” passes that included entry into the Thunder player section, a meet-and-greet and champagne toast opportunities with Kevin Durant himself.

Fallin, in her infinite wisdom, decided unilaterally that a federal mandate directing spousal benefits to same-sex couples in the military would not take place in Oklahoma. As a result, Fallin pulled spousal […]

Sweet and salty
In the Thunder’s loss to the Trail Blazers on Dec. 4 (a game in which he had 33 points, seven rebounds, one steal and two blocks), Durant experienced, as he almost certainly does each night, the wrath of the Portland faithful. Usually, the gentle giant takes it all in stride, but some dope in the […]

LETTERS
I graduated from the University of Oklahoma for my undergraduate degree and went on to graduate from medical school at the University of Oklahoma. My values are as Oklahoman as yours. I am writing to let you know how disappointed I am that you have allowed your fear to cloud your judgments. Everybody is afraid […]

The Seasoning House
Angel is taken to the dingiest of filthy brothels imaginable and watches other young women forced into prostitution with military men who act like boys. She’s saved from that level of horror when Viktor (Kevin Howarth, Gallowwalkers), the pimp of the place, takes a shine to her and keeps her for himself. However, she’s still […]

It’s time for D-Wade to ‘pass the torch’
Kevin Durant and Dwayne Wade are no strangers to these cyber-squabbles, with Durant telling CineSport that former teammate James Harden should have been in Sports Illustrated’s Top 10 players list instead of Wade. But Wade no likey and took exception on popular meta-photo app Instagram. Most recently, Durant reinforced his position in an Oct. 19 […]
