The constant and growing battle between journalists and bloggers resembles the antediluvian animosity that obsolete ‘leaders’ of many Athletics Departments have for “the internet”. Therefore, we liked this blog entry from Business Week.

Another Bad Day for Tarheel Police Blotter
With this news as our backdrop (all just from just ONE DAY last week), new news has surfaced this week that indicates that it is obvious that the Athletics program at UNC-Chapel Hill has completely lost control!

Whitlock: Rivers to Bomb
ESPN’s Jason Whitlock has listed 10 NFL “Truths”.(Link) We thought that it would be a good idea to chronicle his comments. 8. Phillip Rivers is going to bomb in San Diego. It’s never a good idea to try to develop an inexperienced, weak-armed quarterback with a receiving corps led by a 36-year-old, well-past-his-prime receiver not […]

ESPN.com Insider/Blue Ribbon NC State Preview

This means that we aren’t going to over hype the season, or get to excited until we see what is on the field. ESPN.com Insider published their NC State preview yesterday. It was surprisingly optimistic. It is […]

RBC Center to Get Upfit
Remember how much of a bitch that it was to get the ESA (now RBC Center) built? Remember how many local news media – including the News & Observer – decried the scope of the project?
