Want a ticket for tonight’s UNC vs. USC game in Chapel Hill?…
Be expected to shell around $100-150.
As of end of Game 2, which was finished off this afternoon after last night’s rain-postponement, tickets were being sold from Rams’ Club members to the street leeches for $10-$20/ticket, and then being turned to waiting fans for […]

Good topic from online video archives….
I caught this post off of Yardbarker today. Parlayer compiled their list of the Top 20 Nike commercials of all-time. Great list!
I have to agree with most of the 20. My personal faves on the list include:
#17 - MJ’s “Failure” Commercial - Should be watched over again […]

I figured that I had to respond to my Saturday post…
Yeah, the one when I predicted that Oscar De La Hoya would beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a decision.
Perhaps, I put too much faith in Teddy Atlas. Perhaps, I went with my heart. However, I should know by now to never sway from […]

Where are you going to be tonight…huh?
You better be watching this fight. This one is special. And special enough, that I’m dropping the cover charge at Champs at Southpoint tonight.
Yeah, I’ll be there early before all of the chuckleheads start lining up before the main event. You’ll catch me with […]

Look who heated up the phone lines yesterday…

(I had to go with a snapshot from his sophomore year…I always liked this shot)

When did you think that the Raiders would ever hold the number one pick…?
I’m just as stunned as anyone about last year’s performance.
However, I’m not giving up on “Brother” Al Davis quite yet…(Personally, I think he should go down as one of the top-ten executives in sports history. Look at his overall career and […]

Finally catching up on the pile of reading…
And just finished off the John Wooden article written by Alexander Wolff in the 3/19/07 issue. (The one with the photo collage.)
Great article…Check it out.
I was intrigued by these points on Wooden’s first title run.
- I didn’t realize that Wooden didn’t win his first […]

Gameday, baby!…UNC vs. Georgetown. Let’s roll…
Here are my thoughts:
** Press Conference - Kudos to News14 yesterday afternoon.
They televised the UNC press conference in entirety, which was very cool. The press devoured the subject of the UNC/Georgetown 25th anniversary. Every daily newspaper should have some article on that game today. […]

Great ‘W’ for the Heels against USC in the Sweet 16 last night…
On my end, that ending took me a long time to wind down. Hell, I ended up dancing at Taloulla’s on West Franklin until close. What’evs, we’re on for Sunday. Here are my thoughts:
* Impressive and solid ‘W’ - […]
