My Tribute to Doug Williams celebrating his 25th Anniversary Super Bowl MVP Victory covered by Kingi Knox

My Tribute to Doug Williams celebrating his 25^th Anniversary Super Bowl MVP Victory

“I met my friend, mentor, and Grambling State University Alumni at Eddie G. Robinson memorial service at Louisiana’s State capitol in Baton Rouge.  Baton Rouge is known for Southern University’s Jaguar Nation. On that they Southern University fans and Grambling State University fans came together to pay their respects.  It felt like a family reunion as I shared conversations with Doug and other memorial attendees.

DOUG WILLIAMS encouraged me and supported by consulting on my first television episode of the Saints Fan edition of The GREATEST Fan after Hurricane Katrina.  Then on February 12, 2010, I shared the stage with Doug Williams, Brian Kelly, Mike Tomlin, and GSU Hall of Famers as I hosted the Eddie G. Robinson museum opening in Grambling, La.  Doug Williams is a LEGEND to his FANS, a COACH to his team, and a MAN of strength to his family & friends.” Kingi Knox

DOUG WILLIAMS made history being the 1^st African American quarterback and Super Bowl MVP leading the Washington Redskins to a 42-10 victory over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXII.  Doug Williams also made history as he returned to coach football at Grambling State University in February 2011.  HE lead his team to State Farm Bayou Classic and SWAC championship victories, while opening doors for the G-Men football players as well as coaching his son, Doug Williams,Jr., teaching the G-Men the game of football as well as the game of life.

CONGRATULATIONS DOUG WILLIAMS!!!

President Obama ROCK STAR Inauguration Celebration return to the WHITE HOUSE covered by Kingi Knox

From CBS commentators to CNN commentators, after observing the enormous picture taking from FANS’ cameras, phones, and IPADS to the over joyous FAN appreciation as they jumped up and down as President Barack Obama and 1^st Lady Michelle Obama walked down Pennsylvania Street on the Parade Route, President Barack Obama was greeted like a ROCK STAR at his Presidential Inauguration on Martin Luther King Day.

First Lady Michelle Obama had the fashion buzz with her beautiful coat dress, which was coordinated with President Obama tie.  CNN fashion style commentators expressed how her style was domestic with a J. Crew belt and gloves as she was conscious of America’s economy.

President Barack Obama 2013 Presidential Inauguration went down in history as the one of the best weather days  with a temperature of 46 degrees and clear sky. 

President Obama watched the parade from the Reviewing Stand, which was right outside the White House fence.  Over 8800 participants were part of the Presidential Inauguration Parade.  Grambling State University World Famed Tiger Marching Band under the direction of Dr. Larry Pannell was part of the closing of the parade.  When CNN commentator announced my Alma Mater’s band, his voice increased with excitement as he expressed his love for the Grambling State University band from Grambling, LA.

When I watched President Barack Obama 1^st Presidential Inauguration, I was in the executive office with my boss at Universal/NBC.  I was touched because I was surrounded by my co-workers that were from different nationalities as we watched Grambling band on my bosses television in her office. The 2013 Presidential Inauguration parade included our AMERICA culture being represented with floats and marching bands from various people around the country. Vice President Joe Biden continued the ROCK STAR vibe while walking on the PARADE route. Biden shook hands and took pictures with FANS that were along the Parade Route.   Punahou High School, which is President Obama Alma Mater, was at at the beginning of the parade celebration.  Other parade participants were:

Isiseserettes Drill and Drum Team

Illinois Home State float

South Shore Drill Team

Delaware Chinese American Community 

(Center Folk Dance Troupe)

Martin Luther King, Jr. float

Tuskee Airmen float

Lesbian and Gay Band Association

Pennsylvania State float

Des Moines Drum and Drill team

Thank you for your time reading our coverage of the 2013 Presidential Inauguration

GOD bless our PRESIDENT…GOD bless AMERICA…GOD bless YOU

Grambling State University World Famed Tiger Marching Band at President Obama 2013 Presidential Inauguration covered by Kingi Knox

Grambling State University World Famed Tiger Marching band returns to play for President Obama's 2nd Term Presidential Inauguration after WHITE HOUSE fan fare from President's Obama 1st Presidential Inauguration.

Grambling State University World Famed Tiger Marching Band was part of the closing of the parade.  When CNN commentator announced my Alma Mater’s band, his voice increased with excitement as he expressed his love for the Grambling State University band from Grambling, LA.

Grambling State University band under the direction of Dr. Larry Pannell played the Gap Band's "Early In The Morning".  Band Director Dr. Larry Pannell got the idea from watching President's Obama's efforts from early in the morning to late at night working on getting the deal on the fiscal cliff.

FANS are flocking on Christmas Day to see QUENTIN TARANTINO's DJANGO Unchained starring JAMIE FOXX, CHRISTOPH WALTZ, LEONARDO DiCAPRIO, KERRY WASHINGTON, and SAMUEL JACKSON produced by REGINALD HUDLIN covered by ESPN's Kingi Knox

DJANGO Unchained is a western film that is directed by QUENTIN TARANTINO and produced by REGINALD HUDLIN. The film stars JAMIE FOXX, CHRISTOPH WALTZ, LEONARDO DiCAPRIO, KERRY WASHINGTON, and SAMUEL JACKSON.

The film is set in the deep south, where the film follows Django (FOXX), a freed slave who treks across America with Dr. King Schultz (WALTZ) a bounty hunter.

I had a chance to meet and talk with Samuel Jackson at the New Orleans HORNET's game.  We discussed his upcoming movie and he expressed that he was impressed with my media history of working on Speedy's Comedy Comedy corner for Jamie Foxx FOXXHOLE.  Samuel was in New Orleans working on the movie titled "Meeting Evil", also starring Luke Wilson.  Samuel was very down to earth as he passed through the floor and some Hornets fans got a chance to speak to him in person as they were excited by his responsive greeting.  I told Samuel that he is VERY HANDSOME in person as he rocked a casual look at the game.

Reginald Hudlin is my FACEBOOK Friend. And that is something to brag about? lol.  No, it is not something to brag about.  I was surprised by our Facebook friendship.  I sent him a birthday greeting (not expecting a response).  Reginald responded "thanks Kingi!".  Wow, I was taken back.  I took the opportunity to let him know that Boomerang and House Party starring Kid N' Play, Full Force, Tisha Campbell, Robin Harris, and Martin are part of my favorite movies collection.  Reginald is a very attractive man that surprised me with his kindness and humility.

Jamie has been making his rounds promoting Django Unchained.  I was able to watch Jamie Foxx on the show Ellen DeGeneres talk show as he shared with his FANS that he rode his own horse in Django Unchained.  Jamie interview was very funny as he shared his growth...from not being a confident horse rider to the experienced horse rider you will see in Django Unchained.  Jamie interview was very animated as he made horse noises telling a very funny story about overcoming his fears riding his horse in Django Unchained.

JAMIE FOXX fans support 

DJANGO UNCHAINED!!!

US Fans came together to...
 VOTE and re-elect President BARACK OBAMA!!!  

The morning after the election was beautiful with a nice sunrise in California.  What was more beautiful was to be greeted by the SPIRIT of CALIFORNIA representing different faces and different cultures.  Luis Martinez, who is a Latino, asked, "Did Obama win?  I feel asleep last night".  Will Jones who is a Caucasian man immediately answered. "YES...yes...Yes!".  Immediately, there were screams on the streets.  Throughout the streets of Los Angeles, I watched the smiles and hearing the voice of happiness to be a huge part of a historical moment to re-elect President Barack Obama.
