There aren’t Twelve. Only Two so far. Neither of the two labors involve multi-headed demon-dogs or messy stables or a Hesperian Apple, but they are laborious in terms of time-consuming. Oh, I found the original first draft of Carolina Married A Stripper!
Historians debate THE #1 media circus in UNC’s long history. Dickie & Meezie Fire Matt will always get votes as will Butch, Holden & Dickie In The Headlights. Deservedly so for those. But The Jim Martin Report presentation was a HUMMMdinger for sure.
The first weekend of March Madness is over and fabled Tobacco Road is reduced to pulling for legacies Johnny Dawkins or Archie Miller. OUCH! Sure, Swofford can pull for Virginia but otherwise The ACC is shutting down its vaunted basketball operation and heading to the ball diamonds.
My “basketball-centric weekend” will be different from yours. I’ll be speaking Saturday night at the 50th Reunion of back-to-back State Championship teams. In and around that I’ll catch the local area teams’ attempts to “survive & advance”….. or not.
So Ol’ Roy is now an Official Shill For Lord Obama. No one really believes this loose-lipped huckleberry has a clue what he was endorsing (ObamaCare) or was doing anything other than reading a script he was handed. We get that, however he is now forever tainted for his actions.
I was going to write this one after the first UNC v Duke game several weeks ago but I didn’t. I wanted to test my incredibly insightful theory. I am now ready to roll it out. Supporting your favorite college sports team (at least in Football and Basketball) has become Loving and/or Hating “Laundry”.
What does “surreal” mean? I was smack-dab waist-deep in it last week. …. as your favorite Internet Legend was a guest at the NC Press Association Awards Banquet. I (1) was hugged by the Editor of the DTH and (2) swapped jokes with N&O Editor John Drescher….. but neither qualified as THE OMG Moment .
For months AgentPierce has had a storyline about a certain Religio-Political “bully”. Well now we got ourselves a bully in sports. “The Report” is in – Dolphin bad boy Richie Incognito is even more of a sorry tub o’thug than anyone figured.
OK Vlad Putin; you dirty no-good commie Russkie Olympic thug, America showed you by golly. On the opening weekend of The Sochi Games, America pulls a fast one when two hommies, both completely suck up all the column inches and air time in “sports media”.
So far this month I have completely missed Groundhog Day, State v Carolina Basketball AND National Signing Day. Valentine Day is the only “Day” I intend to celebrate in February.
Dog owner or not, you’re familiar with “Invisible Fences”. Gizmos planted around the perimeter of a yard activate another gizmo on a dog’s collar zapping him if he should attempt to leave the yard. Dogs aren’t the only ones restricted by Invisible Fences……
“Following sports” is how America hides from its own reflection in the mirror. When you see a headline – Is Erin Andrews’ Hotness A Curse?, you just know civilization has pulled itself back from the edge of The Abyss. A cure for the common cold is moments away. …. HUZZA!
The comparison began with “in the past ten years” but immediately elevated to “in our lifetime”. I asked two veteran Triangle-area media celebrities to rank The Great Unpleasantness aka “One small tweet for Marvin, one giant mess for ……”.
I’ve never met any of Roy Williams’ players or Mary Willingham. I have never challenged any of them to speed SUDOKU, Scrabble or JEOPARDY. I have no grandchildren for them to be left in charge of. My first hand knowledge of their acumen at reading, ‘riting or arithmetic is, like yours, “don’t know”.
That familiar racetrack call applies to Football for this season. “…… down the stretch it comes” Did you know….. that incredible FSU v Auburn game was THE FIRST BCS Championship in which BOTH starting QBs have been directly linked to suspected criminal activity?
