This week Tight and BG sit down with writer/filmmaker Bennett Singer to discuss "Brother Outsider", a documentary highlighting the life and work of Bayard Rustin, a civil rights activist and mentor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who dared to live his life as an openly gay man. Despite being marginalized to a behind the scenes role, due to his sexuality, it was Bayard Rustin who was responsible for organizing the 1963 March on Washington, where Dr. King delivered the infamous "I Have A Dream" speech. Meet the oustide brother.

In week 1, Tight crowned himself the unofficial "QB Whisperer" and predicted that Auburn QB Jeremy Johnson and Tampa Bay Bucs QB Jameis Winston would be unstoppable in the 2015 season. Thus far, the dream has been more of a nightmare as both QB's have struggled in the early games of this season. In Episode 3, Tight and Coach discuss what has these Quarterbacks playing so bad, the Good and Bad performances of Week 2, and the big game picks for the upcoming Week 3 matchups. The saga continues....

Dig This:

• Forty-two percent of Black students attend schools that are under-resourced and performing poorly
• Black boys are three times more likely to be suspended or expelled from school than their white peers
• Black and Hispanic males make up almost 80 percent of the youth in special education programs
• Black male students make up 20 percent of all students in the United States classified as mentally retarded, although they are only nine percent of the student population

How is it possible that Black and Brown students are facing so much more adversity in the educational system than their counterparts from other ethnic groups? Is it a systematic attack on the youth or is the disproportionate treatment a result of disengaged parents throughout the community. This week the crew goes in on education with a very special guest.
