As a longtime Dallas Cowboys hater, nothing would make me happier than to see them hire Jim Caldwell as their head coach. Seriously, that’s one of the funniest things I’ve read in a loooong time. I know Jerry Jones has lost touch with reality, but wow. The Dallas Cowboys, one of the NFL’s marquee franchises…

Hey kids! Did you miss me? I was down in Myrtle Beach playing golf for several days (key lesson learned: I suck at golf.) and then came back to do a little work around the house (wink, wink). Anyhoo, while I didn’t find any time to post for the past couple of weeks, I did…

In a tangent of my last post, here’s the Wilmington Star’s look at the likely candidates for the ACC Player of the Year this year. They include five players, but to me, it’s really a three-man race at this point: Tyler Hansbrough, Jared Dudley and Sean Singletary. A quick rundown: Hansbrough The best player (just…

Sports Illustrated‘s Seth Davis has an interesting article up with quotes from various NBA scouts about college players they like or dislike. A brief synopsis of the ACC players mentioned: Tyler Hansbrough – not athletic enough Jared Dudley – probably can’t play in the NBA Sean Singletary – concerned about his halfcourt game Josh McRoberts…

I’m sure you’ve heard by now about Boston College kicking Sean Williams and Akida McLain off the team. McLain hardly played this year, but Sean Williams was one of the top shot blockers in the country and had had several monster games recently. Clearly the loss will hurt BC, but as Ken Pomeroy points out…

Goons have always fought each other in hockey and quite often it has nothing to do with what has happened during the game. These guys just like to fight. Well, this fight just takes the cake. Phoenix Coyote Georges Laraque and Raitis Ivanans of the LA Kings go at it here, and as luck would…

Last night’s UNC-Clemson game was an interesting one. Because of their success so far this year and Carolina’s lofty ranking, the crowd had a ton of energy and it seemed to feed into the players. Clemson pressed and ran all night and were quite successful in forcing turnovers. It seemed like the Heels coughed it…

Caulton Tudor, JP Giglio and maybe some other writers for ACC Now (the News & Observer’s blog) put together a list of their All-NFL and All-NBA teams using only ACC players. Click on the links in that sentence to see their picks. While that was an interesting and fun read, I was completely baffled by…

In today’s world where the ACC has swollen to 12 teams and most of the games are televised, it’s quite easy to lose track of what’s going on in other parts of the country. It’s not that you don’t care, it’s that you just don’t have time. Well, let me offer you a tip. Texas…

The ACC season is still young, but that doesn’t mean that last night’s Virginia-Maryland game wasn’t hugely important. It was the most significant contest of the season so far (just beating out Duke’s game against Miami that the Blue Devils had to win). Virginia came into this season with reasonable expectations of making the NCAA…
