(Link) The show is produced by “Lincoln Financial Sports” which is the old Jefferson-Pilot Sports. (Lincoln Financial Group bought Greensboro-based Jefferson-Pilot months ago).

Scoop’s Rape Scene & Peter King
Scoop has clearly convinced Page 2 editors that proofreading is a form of racism. Earlier in the month we told you about the great new blog, Kissing Suzy Kolber. Earlier this week KSK hit a friggin home run for the 99% of the readers out there that hate Terrell Owens &/or “Scoop” Jackson. This entry […]
N&O Embarrasses TSN’s Mike Farrell
Score one for accuracy in reporting!!! We’re laughing all the way to the fact-checker on this one. A few weeks ago, The Sporting News’ Mike Farrell penned a blog entry whose accuracy and analysis/conclusions we destroyed in this entry that is well worth the read. Despite the fact that 100% of Chuck Amato’s seven verbal […]
Why Journalists Should Blog
Something a little different tonight that is not directly on the topic of sports. 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.
We are still remembered! (Updated 3pm)
I came across the Top ten moments we will not forget. The ’83 championship was listed at number ten. I would have the ’83 championship as number one but that’s just me…and a lot of you. It is still nice to see us remembered. Related: * CBS: 1983 Started March Madness * SI: State is […]
Hayes: Ranking the ACC Football Stadiums
Great minds do think a lot. Yesterday, Dave Sez ran a piece on a topic that we also had started and were holding in our drafts box and waiting for the “slow days” of late July and August to use. We even had the link to Fansblog in our entry. Now that we are last […]
Sports Fanatic or Just NC State?
With football season still about 6 weeks away, I thought it might be interesting to take the pulse of SFN’s readership. Do you consider yourself a “sports guy/gal” in general, or are you only really interested in NC State? Personally, I just love sports (although I certainly follow NC State sports with several extra degrees […]
Rivers Already Setting Record
Lots of talk out there about Philip Rivers starting for the San Diego Chargers this year. Exciting stuff. Here is an interesting factoid that is neither positive or negative when you consider that most teams with pro-bowl quarterbacks don’t typically have top 5 picks…nor do they typically draft quarterbacks. Fewest Pass Attempts in First 2 […]
Suiter: State Fans Care More About Football Than Tarheels
Tom Suiter threw up a summertime blog entry at WRAL.com this afternoon. (Link) There is nothing in it of much note, but we liked this (obvious) comment very much: Is it me or does State care more about football than Carolina?
Jacobs on Sidney, Sendek
The strategy of pacing ourselves and holding off on blitzing the site in May with all of the Sidney-Lowe articles has worked out well for us. Our discussion on “Lowe is Ready For This” went very nicely. Today we have another article to quickly re-address as we go back to a piece written by Barry […]
