Many fantasize of the idea that Kobe Bryant should have gone out on top like Michael Jordan after the Bulls’ second three-peat in 1998 or Peyton Manning’s sayonara after winning Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos.

Peyton, unlike Kobe, had a supporting cast that also included a kick your, ‘rhymes with glass,’ defense.

Kobe’s farewell tour in 2016 was more like Derek Jeter’s retirement tour with the New  York Yankees a few years ago.

Bryant is okay with not finishing like Peyton.

“It would have been amazing,” Bryant told me in a Scoop B Radio chat.

“But you know, it just wasn’t meant to be. But at the same time, I couldn’t complain about it. I’ve enjoyed winning to the tune of five championships and been very fortunate to have those. Most players haven’t been able to get one. So, you gotta be able to take the good with the bad.”

Barry Bondz is at it again. This time the lyricist has added flavor to the pot with his new visual to his song, ‘Check Down.’

If you’re tardy to the party, in football, a checkdown pass is when the quarterback attempts to complete a short, accurate pass to a running back or tight end as a last option when the wide receivers are covered.

Bondz initates that play on words in his new visual

“To me, ‘Check Down means being verified in this world that we live in,” Barry Bondz told RESPECT Magazine by phone.”Similar to the verification check you get on social media. I’m just putting it down.”
