The most wonderful time of the year! To celebrate, I give you the best entrance in college football.

High school football kicked off this past Friday night and our first Football Friday of 2010 took us to Hillsborough where we saw the Orange Panthers take on the Jordan Falcons. The opening play from scrimmage where Jordan gained 30 yards on a toss sweep pretty much set the scene for how this one was [...]

We’re about a month out from high school football and “Football Fridays” starting up again and hopefully I’ll be posting soon about where we’re going for the first game of the year.  In anticipation of the upcoming season though, I thought I would post about a game I will never forget. To set the scene [...]

On the way home this afternoon, I was listening to Mark Packer’s radio show and he was talking about how The University of North Carolina can redeem this horrible basketball season, calling it The Road to Carmichael.  The details are… Go ahead and accept NIT bid. Announce all home games will be played in Carmichael [...]

In sports, everyone is a winner—some people just win better than others. Like the under-appreciated billionaires who brought America’s Cup back where it belongs: A snooty American yacht club. This post actually should have been written yesterday, but I’m still reeling from Sunday’s dramatic victory by the BMW-Oracle’s trimaran (fixed wing sails, baby!), the U.S.’s [...]

So here’s the video of Digger Phelps dancing with a Clemson cheerleader this past Saturday before the Tigers took on Duke.  I don’t know if this is creepy or awesome, but it sure is amusing… enjoy.

I’m so glad my family got me a Nintendo Wii for Christmas.  It’s moments like these that just make my day.  EA Sports is bringing back “NBA Jam”, the 2-on-2 arcade basketball game that stole a billion quarters from me back in the day. I spent way too many days over at Yesterday’s arcade in [...]

I think it’s safe to say that last year’s promo featuring Harry Caray singing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” can’t be topped, but this year’s commercial for the Winter Classic has me pretty amped.  I’m not sure what you’ll be doing on New Year’s Day, but I’ll be watching this. “I’m Shipping Up To [...]

Every so often, these Randy Moller videos turn up on YouTube and in turn make me extremely happy for the rest of the day. The Dan LeBatard Show has put together another collection of the Panthers’ play-by-play man’s greatest hits, so grab some popcorn and enjoy! My top three: 3. “Mike Bibby be floppin’.” 2. [...]

Thank goodness for people with entirely too much time on their hands, because they are able to provide this kind of quality entertainment.  Somebody who really loves RBI Baseball for Nintendo and really hates the Red Sox has put together this little masterpiece.  The entire 1986 Boston Red Sox World Series meltdown has been retold [...]
