RF SPORTS RADIO PARTNERS WITH INDIEGOGO.COM TO KEEP "SPORTS TALK FROM A FAN'S PERSPECTIVE"

(Thanks to Indiegogo, RF Sports Radio will continue to keep delivering high quality content to the masses)

Our Story: September 2010, my wife dared me to quit listening to sports talk radio in the car and in her words, "do it yourself". After researching the internet for opportunites to get more sports opinions heard I realized that I can do it myself. I needed an angle...something the other talk shows did not have. That ingredient was my Dad, Royce Fisher. He and I talked sports all time anyway and this would add a different generations perspective that would make good entertainment. Plus, my Dad is entertainment himself. We had our first broadcast opening day of that NFL season and have not looked back since. In our short three years, we have gained a following of thousands of monthly visitors on www.RFSportsRadio.com and 800 downloads/ listeners of our podcast weekly, but advertisers are not knocking on our door. Our following came by the ability to cover the national sports just like the big guys. We have been able to attend some of the biggest sports events in the world over the last 3 years like:

2011, 2012 NBA Finals
2011, 2012 Ticket City Bowl
2011, 2012 Cotton Bowl
2011, 2012 Dallas Mavericks Season, to name drop a little...lol

Honestly, we have been blessed. High favor and high determination have gotten us pretty far. With your help we can go even farther! We want to buy new equipment that will give us the ability to broadcast live sporting events, do more videos, upgrade our site, and market more. With your help we can add more promotion to grow our show to wider audience by covering more sporting events nationwide. We have an opportunity this year to broadcast Texas high school football, AAU basketball, and become a credentialed media members of the NFL. With you help we can make this and more happen! Keep "Sports Talk from a Fan's Perspective when YOU want it" growing.

Thank you in advance,

Rodney Fisher

Dwayne Wade will release new book on fatherhood, A Father First

A FATHER FIRST
How My Life Became Bigger Than Basketball
By Dwyane Wade

Publication Date: September 4, 2012

In A FATHER FIRST: How My Life Became Bigger than Basketball, Dwyane Wade,
a current co-captain for the Miami HEAT and eight-time NBA All-Star, shares
insights on his life both on and off the court with a large focus on
fatherhood, a topic of deep personal significance. Wade reveals his
thoughts on fatherhood, detailing his personal experiences as a parent, and
tracing his transformation from being the child of a single parent to now
serving as one himself.

In the book, Wade opens up and reveals for the first time the intimate and
traumatic details of his growing up and also the prolonged battle with his
ex-wife for sole custody of his two sons, touching on:

·    His mother’s struggles as a drug addict, and his growing up in
Chicago among gangs, drug dealers and police raids (including a
gut-wrenching story of young Dwyane finding a dead body in a garbage
can)

·    How he pulled himself up from such a life, thrived through
basketball and maintained his devotion to his mother

·    He has never talked about the prolonged battle with his ex-wife
over sole custody of his two sons and why doing so was the most
important thing in his life; and how the constant media attention has
affected him and his boys

·    His advocacy for fathers taking a strong role in their children’s
lives; his main reason for writing the book is to help fathers see how
they can do this and to see that they and their children can benefit
from it enormously

·    His childhood hero, his sister Tragil, who got him out of the mean
Chicago streets, placed him with their father, and in many ways rescued
him from a life that could have gone the wrong way

·    The coaches who served as role models and father figures through
high school, college and the NBA and how much they meant to him

·    The HEAT's successful 2006 NBA Championship, with Dwyane being
awarded Finals MVP, and his gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics

In March 2011, in a landmark legal decision, Wade earned sole custody of
his two young sons, effectively setting a new precedent for professional
male athletes. Most recently, Dwyane teamed up with President Barack
Obama to support his Fatherhood & Mentoring Initiative, a national
parenting program geared toward encouraging fathers to become more involved
in the lives of their children.

“As a child, I grew up with aspirations to one day be a professional
basketball player, and I am living that dream every day as a proud member
of the Miami HEAT,” said Wade. “However, the daily role I play in the lives
of my two children is the single most significant undertaking of my life,
and the job I take most seriously. While my basketball career has brought
me many rewards – including an NBA Championship in 2006 and an Olympic Gold
Medal in the 2008 Summer Games, my children are the two greatest gifts of
my life.”

A FATHER FIRST also highlights Wade’s phenomenal basketball career—from
his early days shooting hoops in Chicago, to training
at Marquette University, to emerging as an unheralded draft pick to
receiving MVP honors in the 2006 NBA Finals. In a narrative that spans two
generations of the Wade family, Wade’s book encourages parents to lead by
example and make being a caregiver the top priority.

Now 8 years later, you could argue that Lebron's time has been under The Black Mamba's reign, Kobe Bryant. Enter the young Kevin Durant. Number1 draft pick of the Seattle Supersonics after several analysts said he was not NBA ready after leading the NCAA in scoring his only year and not being able to bench press 125lbs at the combine. A rookie of the year award and 3 scoring titles later, Durant gets his first trip to the NBA Finals. In true "King" fashion, he has gone through the top teams and players of his conference to get there. The Kevin Durant era starts now...

Doc Rivers, Celtics not a fan of the refs in Game 1 loss

ESPN NBA Doc Rivers upset with technicals

No matter what happens in Game 7, the 76ers have already won

The stage is set for another epic game in this historic rivalry that includes some of the greatest players in NBA history. I have the Cs winning this game purely because they are at home, have a veteran team, and Rajon Rondo should be motivated to make-up for his bad play in Game 6.

Even if Boston advances, the 76ers should consider forcing a game 7 a win. They started out the season red-hot, but took a huge nose dive after the All-Star break. 76ers entered the playoffs as a 8th seed having to go through the #1 seeded Bulls. Lady Luck has been wearing a '6ers jersey ever since. Injuries to Derek Rose and Joakim Noah helped pull off the upset. Now an injury to Avery Bradley and Ray Allen has helped push this series to 7 games.

For Doug Collins and his young team to get this kind of playoff experience together will be phenomenal for the organization and the players for years to come. The NBA is a "rite of passage" sport. First you make the playoffs and exit in the 1st round. Then you get the second round or conference finals to lose a close series in 6 or 7 games. Only after that, you finally build the mental make-up of a champion. Luckily for 76ers fans their team and coach get to do this together.

NBA Playoffs Round 2

Despite early exits from Utah and Dallas, the playoffs have gone as expected. We started with 16 and now we are down to 8. As we move to the second round, teams to watch are the Thunder, Pacers,and the Clippers.These young teams are built to win now and in the future. With and least 1 or 2 superstar and a wealth of talent on the bench, they can easily be crowned this years champions. With such a compact season, these young guns are primed mentally and physically to challenge anyone for the championship. Its hard to watch and at the same time hate to see the old guys struggle to compete with the next generation of superstars.Take a good look now because I suspect that we are about to see the a new NBA Champion!

Should Drew Brees Stay With The Saints?

Many would look at the off season for the New Orleans Saints as a sports death march. Not only have they lost a head coach, a GM, staff, and players behind "bounty-gate", but they have yet to lock-up the most important piece to the puzzle Drew Brees. The Saints placed a franchise tag on Brees before the suspensions started to rain down much to the dismay of the former MVP. The last time Brees played under such designation he suffered a career-ending type injury on the last game of the season while a San Diego Charger. Many teams wrote him off after that except for the New Orleans Saints. Drew has been adamant that he will not start the season under a franchise tag; he wants to get paid.

Should he resign with the Saints? The entire bounty program that caused the turmoil was designed to attack quarterbacks. Two of the more high targets, Brett Farve and Kurt Warner, ended their careers to Saints defensive "bounty" hits. Is Brees up to facing the possible retaliation from other defenses that missed out because their quarterback could not continue?

In the back of his mind he has to ponder; do I really know these people? Sean Payton has been suspended for the entire season for his cover-up of the whole bounty program after being warned a year prior. Saints GM Mickey Loomis will miss the half the season and has more recently been accused of having a device in his suite at the Superdome that would allow him to listen to the opposing team's headset conversations. Owner Tom Benson has not been willing to meet the QB's salary demands, but found over $300 million dollars to purchase the New Orleans Hornets. Brees' only saving grace to stick with the Saints may be the city of New Orleans. He and his wife have become pillars in the community since the devastation of hurricane Katrina. Saints fans can only hope that Saints management feel the same way.

3 Keys if Mavericks plan to win Game 2 over Thunder

On Saturday, the Oklahoma City Thunder pulled off a last second victory over the defending champion Mavericks.Up by 7 points with less than 3 minutes to go, they went on a 7 - 0 run to win by 1.Here are my 3 keys to a Maverick victory in game 2:

They must get support from the bench.
Delonta West and Vince Carter have to contribute. Dirk and Terry must play well
Dallas Big Men have to slow down the Thunder by rebounding and protecting the paint.

If Dallas can do these 3 things they should be able to returned to Dallas tied 1game each.You are in a better position returning to Dallas tied rather than being down 2 games.
