The epicenter of The Greatest Scandal EVER was Rm 204 of The Kenan Center last Wednesday. We’re in to “aftershock season”. Deborah Crowder as UNC’s Squeaky Fromme will have many scurrying to Wikipedia.
That email query – “Are any rich white males in trouble?” – hit my iPhone at 2:14 PM. It was from “a very prominent figure in The Great Unpleasantness”. I giggled then replied “not yet, but the Q&A is just beginning”……
In recent years, when it comes to a sure W in Chapel Hill, only David Price has been a safer bet than Paul Johnson’s vaunted triple-optioning Yellow Jackets….until last Saturday night. And BobLee reveals his favorite TV commercial.
We took “a road trip” last week. That official reason for “no column but there has been another reason. I have been soo enjoying the past few weeks of MLB Playoffs and NOT just because two of “my teams” (StL & KC) are in the thick of it.
The Fighting Fedorians and WuffDave’s Brickyard Warriors are, indeed, another game older than they were last week but not one day closer to Christmas In Shreveport. …… for Triangle football fans it’s still Mudville.

I received an email Sunday: “BobLee, The Good Sports’ pre-game show has become more entertaining than the games”. I replied, “Thanks, I guess.”
If you missed this past Saturday’s show you missed Art’s encounter with a former UNC-CH Trustee. The former Trustee said…..
I prefer my eggs “over light”, my music “country” and my sports heroes “good guys”. There are plenty of choices in these, and every, category. I make no apologies for my choices…..
But other than THAT, Mrs Kenan; how was your trip to Greenville? ….. As compared to (1) Honest Abe’s evening at Ford’s Theater and/or (2) George Custer’s picnic on The Little Big Horn ??…. It was AAAArrrgghh.
We were coming off a 9-1-1 Big 8 Championship season (including a 13-3 Orange Bowl loss to Penn State coached by a young Paterno. That Spring a fearsome man-child transferred in from Ft Scott JC. He stood 6’8” weighing 280 with a 32” waist – The Tooz!
Today we go to another cinema cult classic – “Young Frankenstein” – for Marty Feldman’s pilfering of Abby Normal’s brain. We begin “at The Wally” or more aptly NOT “at The Wally”……
One of a plethora of classic lines from “Airplane”…. I miss Leslie Nielsen. There are certain jobs that come with a “hate – hate” relationship between the job-holder and the public: School Supt, City Manager, Major College AD, Manager of the Yankees and Commissioner of any pro sports league.
Ray Donovan (Showtime) is “a fixer”…… “a cleaner”. One of your key employees or clients finds him/herself in a helluva mess, you call Ray. Ray “fixes the problem”. You don’t wanna know how he does it, just that “it’s fixed”. Before Ray there was “Nico” on Necessary Roughness.
Blondie will always be a Midwestern girl at her core. She studies Southern Culture like scientists watching lab rats. “Why are pretty Southern girls named after commodities?” is a typical question. A new girl had moved in “from Greenville”….. and her name is Cotten..
Saturday was a VERY good day. The Fighting Fedorians (maybe we need to change that name, huh?) are now five Ws from bowl eligibility. I had a heck of a fun time Under The Bubble – aka “in Chapel Hill”…. along Legendary Franklin Street.
In 2003 a friend of mine was offered a gig with a “worldwide leader”. I immediately bet him $5 he would not last three weeks. This weekend begins Season Three of The Good Sports pre-game show on WCHL 97.9 FM with fellow provocateur Art Chansky. Go figger….
