Does OneTake Media Need to Acquire CTESPN? Antonio Brown Files for Bankruptcy
Just a villain in the news - sad stuff out of Florida (assuming) today as multi talented U.S. citizen Antonio Brown has filed for bankruptcy, according to his own media platform CTESPN, an allusion to the fact this man does indeed have some severe mental issues based on years of traumatic force against his brain. […]

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury to become Unified Heavyweight Champion: A OneTake Media Recap
The last month of boxing has been an embarrassment of riches for fans: Garcia - Haney was a great bout, Canelo-Munguia was an old-fashioned Mexicano guerra (that means 'war' for those Mexicans like my friend and colleague Tavis who cannot speak any Spanish), and the cherry on top was this afternoon's battle between the Gypsy […]

Protesters Take Over the University of San Francisco - OneTake Media Investigates
We've had a fun first half of May here at OneTake Media - a pitch to produce our first proper surf film, the Mavericks Awards, new and branded Sartoro suits on the way, the Palisades pond skim, some Lake Tahoe Livin' - all outstanding stuff. But there was one point of occurrence that was not […]

Producer Reese's List of Top 5 Asian Things
We’re already halfway through May and I haven’t even blogged anything in celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Month (sad of me). Am I even a proud Asian American anymore? Not sure I’ve ever specified this on camera or in writing, but Producer Reese is a mixed breed between two electric Asian countries- China […]

I hate 'On this Day' Posts, but this one Deserves It: May 3, 2014 - Marcos Maidana Beats Floyd Mayweather in a Boxing Match
'On this day' posts annoy the hell out of me - I like the concept, originally popularized by Frank 'the tank' Fleming of the Sports E-Cyclopedia and Barstool Sports fame, but like anything cool and interesting, they've gone completely over the top and can clog one's timeline based on whatever the hell the algorithm knows […]

Canelo-Munguia Press Conference Made Cinco De Mayo a Lot More Interesting
The best battle of Mexico since Morales - Herrera trilogy takes place on Saturday with Canelo Alvarez defending his swath of belts at super middleweight (168 pounds) against up and coming undefeated, younger, taller fighter and fellow Mexicano Jaime Munguia. Lots of great storylines in this one outside of the match itself, and we got […]

The Bill Belichick Media Dynasty is off to a Hot Start
The most hopeful time in all of sports came and went this past weekend in Detroit, MI as they played host to almost 800,000 (wild number) fans at the 2024 The NFL Draft came. Some teams left with their quarterback of the future (see New England), some teams left with a dismayed quarterback of the […]

Tensions Rise in Stockton as we get closer to Diaz/Masvidal Rematch
About 2 months ago, in late February, Jorge Masvidal supposedly came through the 209 looking for Nate Diaz- the pride of Stockton- on a mission to secure a rematch fight. According to Masvidal, he even visited Diaz’s gym only to find closed doors and no one there. Taking a shot in the dark, he made […]

Jiu Jitsu World League Stockton - April 24'
This past weekend, the Jiu Jitsu World League hosted a competition at Stockton’s own Adventist Health Arena, by the waterfront. Supposedly, this competition comes to town once every couple of months. However, it looks like this organization hosts tournaments all over the country. I didn’t compete in this tournament, but I had several friends who […]

If this is the end of the Warriors Dynasty, they Deserve a Salute
Tough game up the road in Sacramento earlier in the week for the hometown Golden State Warriors, as they lost to the Kings in the preliminary game of the play-in tournament. The game was out of flow from the start for Golden State, as they battled an early deficit only to have Keegan Murray and […]

Ryan Garcia Wins in Brooklyn - Majority Decision over Devin Haney
We just witnessed one of the biggest upsets in the last decade, perhaps twenty years of boxing tonight in Brooklyn as Ryan Garcia defeated super lightweight (140 pound) champion Devin Haney in a pretty dominant fashion down the stretch via majority decision. The only fights I can think of off the top upset wise that […]

One Massive Win from Another PPV Fight: Seeing Jim Lampley back in Action
We're halfway into the co-main event of the Haney - Garcia fight tonight as I write at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York and the excitement is beginning to mount. Many questions to be answered from the chaos and histrionics for this fight over the last 24 hours - from Ryan not coming close […]

Top 3 Bars in the Marina to Hit, this Short King Spring

Inside Edition's Piece on Short King Spring, #veryinteresting
“It’s Short King Spring and that means big ups for the little guys who like dating women of stature.” I’m not an avid consumer of news when it comes to stories produced by Inside Edition, especially since it’s widely considered a source of tabloid journalism. In fact the piece that I shared above isn’t that […]

Is a Sunday Ticket to the Masters the most overrated in all of Sports?
I love the Masters. I love golf - and I've said before that watching pro golf is one of, if not the, best sport to watch in person. The fade of the ball, the draws, the roar of the crowd on a made birdie putt, the trees, the flowers, the sunshine - it's all awesome. […]

Southeast Asia Does Not Mess Around: Vietnamese Female Billionaire Sentenced to Death for Fraud
I know very little of Truong My Lan, the billionaire sentenced to death last week, but I do know that capital punishment for a 'victimless crime' (completely untrue framing, but that's often how white collar crime is characterized) is pretty damn severe. We are empathetic creatures, so we typically need to see direct correlation between […]

Sisay Lemma and Hellen Obiri Win the Boston Marathon, The Brits Lose in Lexington, Today is a Good Day in the Commonwealth
Living in California is great - natural beauty, beach, mountains, art, the opportunity to create a sales empire that never really came to fruition and then parlay that into a media empire that isn't really coming to fruition but we are still bloggin' our faces off - it's a beautiful thing. But there are indeed […]
