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 Auditorium.
Wear the [...]

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 first [...]

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.

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. “I ain’t got [...]

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 [...]

This week was our “home game,” if you can call it that, as we stayed around Durham and headed to Charles E. Jordan High School to watch the Falcons face off against the Northern Durham Knights.  It was homecoming at Jordan, plus we had a special 5th Quarter over at Yates Baptist Church after the [...]

Originally, we had plan to head east to Pikeville, NC to see the Charles B. Aycock Golden Falcons take on the James B. Hunt Warriors, but with the threat of rain and the possibility of traveling so far and the game being postponed, we decided to stay a little closer to home. So… we [...]

Our Football Friday stop this week was High Point, for the annual rivalry game between the High Point Central Bison and the T.W. Andrews Red Raiders.  This is the first game I’ve ever been to where both teams share the same stadium.  Andrews was the home team tonight, but if you were to look at [...]
