By Jimmy Wilson, Jr.

After seeing the movie “Think Like A Man”, I figured I would dispense some relationship tips myself. Fellas, don’t be alarmed, these tips won’t be exposing any secrets, or throwing men under the bus. These tips are for women who are dealing with men who are into sports, but the women may not really be into them also. These tips are to help you ladies know what to listen for, and how to deal with men who love sports.

Dear Tamara:

I have two children (ages 9 and 11) and they fuss and fight over everything. It is driving me crazy! I am tired of having to referee and tired of trying to get to the bottom of who’s right and who’s wrong. What can I do to stop my kids from fighting?
