The Introduction

The purpose of this blog is to engage readers in the multifacted concerns of society. I don't expect for everyone to agree with me but I do hope that we learn from the various perspectives presented. The inspiration of this blog was born out of my affinity for discussion. My wife and close friends contend that I should've been an attorney because of my love for debate. They see debate as confrontation. Of course I don't subscribe to that notion. I see debate as healthy and refreshing. Every since I was a teenager growing up in a tough South Memphis neighborhood, I embraced the fundamental love for debate. I can remember standing on the street corner of Lauderdale and Alston arguing the finer points of religion, sports, society, race and history. It is there where I developed a knack for thinking quickly on my feet and reading more than my peers. That was pretty easy because some of those guys barely read anything outside of school.

I earned my bachelors degree from Rust College in Mass Communications in 1997. My dream was to go into Television until I discovered radio. An internship at a major Memphis radio station made me realize that I wasn't a fit for the hip hop format. I had just taken a job in sales with MCI telecommunications that spring of my sophomore year. The industry was very lucrative and seem to have a bright future. I didn't change my major but I knew that my broadcast days wouldn't be in my immediate future. Simply put I wanted to make money... My career with MCI produced a promotion to Supervisor and a year later landed me in Nashville to work in call center management with Sprint PCS. Moving to Nashville was a very prophetic experience because I knew that God allowed me to leave the comforts of my hometown to further develop me in my purpose.

I settled down and rediscovered my passion for broadcasting by way of sports radio. This career path wasn't as visible to me during my college days. Talk radio seemed for lack of a better term- Boring. In 2005 I heard a sports talk show for the first time and I was hooked. I became a regular pest I mean caller into the show, debating everything from strategy to controversial issues. It was through this show that I met a fellow "goon squader" and began formulating an idea about getting our own show. Most of that zeal has been reduced to blogging because I can at least express my views and possibly spark conversations not privy to talk radio.

One of our brainstorming conversations produced the idea and name for this blog. Too much information is meant to cover controversial topics that typically get sugar coated or ignored. This blog is not limited to sports. I attend on writing about sports, politics, religion, culture, history, society and anything I deem interesting. That's the root of TMI... SO let the games began. I look forward to learning from all of you...
