Bsi 2,048.34 -4.15 -.2%

Marvin Harrison would probably end up in the week's "Losers" column after the recent GQ article but for two things: he's never been charged and it doesn't look like it'll keep him out of the NFL Hall of Fame. Still, it doesn't look good.

Rut ro, Rarvin...

WINNERS

Ebony Magazine (EBNY) 1.29 +.41 +31.78%

They recently lost their matriarch and we don't know who reads it anymore, but that Ebony's posted their entire archieves online will at least provide future generations with a connection to the once iconic magazine.

LOSERS

Harold Ford (FRDTN) .38 -2.79 -88.01%

If anyone was wondering whether Mr. Ford may be biting off more than he can chew by running for Senate in New York a New York Times interview this week answered that question. Yes.

WTF Harold. WTF.

Bsi 2,039.17 -9.25 -.45%

The first week of the new decade sees the New York Times declare Harlem safe for the masses and Glen Beck show his racism -- again.

African-American is a bogus, PC, made-up term. I mean, that's not a race. Your ancestry is from Africa and now you live in America. Ok, so you were brought over -- either your family was brought over through the slave trade or you were born here and your family emigrated here or whatever but that is not a race.

Thanks Glen. Cause Afric-- I mean, blacks aren't allowed to define ourselves.

WINNERS

NAACP Image Awards (N2ACPI) 4.29 +1.21 +28.21%

While we are generally skeptical of any award show that heaps praise and recognition on House of Payne, we have to give the Image Awards some dap for nominating Barry Jenkins' Medicine for Melancholy.

If you haven't seen it yet -- do so now.

LOSERS

Harold Ford (FRDTN) 3.17 -1.11 -25.93%

Too much heat and/or racism in Tennessee leads Harold Ford to give up and look to New York for a senate seat.

The cause of the new carpetbagging?
