When Should You Start Taking Social Security
If you are of a certain age, the new year means you are that much closer to a day you may have anticipated with a combination of humor and resignation — specifically, the day you are eligible for Social Security.

The Bayou Classic is on Death Watch
By John R. Posey
CEO Urban Sports News
The 38th edition of the Bayou Classic was a shadow of the former glory that had many calling the game “The Granddaddy of Black College Classics.” I have covered 17 Bayou Classics and now have the distinction of covering the largest game (71,000+) and the smallest game (40,000 +). The Bayou Classic has lost 31,000 fans since 2004.
The Super Dome resembled a large tomb, rather than a Football Classic. The announced crowd of 40,000 plus was more like 29,000 in reality. This is a game that is dying and the doctor and his team do not know how to save the patient.
The firm (NOCCI) hired to manage and produce the event was abysmal and I’m being kind. The media relations, credentialing, parking problems, et al, were not unexpected as this bunch had no sports or football production experience.
