Sports Bio

My favorite teams are the Cubs, Tigers, Lions, Panthers, Hurricanes, Sri Lanka, and Kings XI Punjab.
My most memorable sporting event that I attended was Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals in 2006 when the Hurricanes won it all. I will never forget a second of that game.

North Carolina hires Bill Belichick: Bill Belichick has been hired as the next coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels, the school announced Wednesday. The six-time Super Bowl champion, who has never coached at the collegiate level in any capacity, will take over the top coaching position on the open market. Apparently there are winners & losers with this.

In a siloed media climate, sports becomes the only place where facts matter: Sports is one of the last remaining institutions in America that is truly bipartisan. As such, figures like Mike Greenberg or Colin Cowherd, or Scott Van Pelt are among some of the only individuals in the entire country that regular people on both sides of the aisle actually listen to together.

Ryan Clark wants to see same media response to Nick Bosa MAGA hat stunt as Colin Kaepernick protests: “It seems very clear to me Nick Bosa understands that when you wear that hat, you take a side,” Clark said. “You take a side of division in a sport that’s supposed to bring us together. I’m just waiting for all the people who comment under political and sports things to shut up and dribble or to shut up and play football, to tell him to shut up and rush. But they ain’t going to say it cuz they feel the exact same way he do.”

Rickey Henderson, Hall of Famer and MLB’s all-time stolen bases leader, dead at 65

"Nothing is impossible for Rickey," he said. "You don't have enough fingers and toes to count out Rickey."

It's a sad day for baseball.

North Carolina hires Bill Belichick

It took me a while to make my way through that article, but it was worth every minute.

Dan Patrick has been saying the past few days that Belichick's experience as an NFL head coach and GM sets him up rather well to deal with today's NIL and transfer portal world of the NCAA and that he will put in place a staff that will work with each of them plus recruiting. OK fine, but is he able to provide enough Bojangles super tailgate specials and burgers 'n shakes from Cookout to keep his staff happy? Or will the giant chicken biscuits from Time Out be enough for them? Also, will Bill's current trophy girlfriend trust him to attend indy rock shows at the Cat's Cradle on his own? Will he be sneaky enough to dwell in the deep underground of indy rock at the Local 506 or the Cave without anyone noticing? Everyone on Franklin St is asking these questions now.

Flag planting at Ohio State would be felony under proposed law

Ohio state Rep. Josh Williams introduced a bill Tuesday that would classify flag planting at Ohio Stadium around Buckeyes football games as a felony.
