ACC Quarterfinals-Night Session

After watching Maryland beat Wake, Duke took the floor to play Boston College. Gerald Henderson, one of our stars, picked up two fouls in less than a minute. We played pretty bad offensively in the first half, kept only alive by good defense. Down…

ACC Tournament-End of Day One

We watched Maryland pull away from NC State, and then the first half of a thoroughly uninspiring game that pitted Boston College against Virginia. Boston College won, so the Dukies know who we play tomorrow night. A pic of David and I, followed by…

Boxing: James Kirkland vs. Joel Julio

To my knowledge, this is my first blog post on boxing. I’ve been an avid boxing fan for a number of years, even as the sport has suffered from a lack of true superstars. As usual, I recorded the Saturday night fight on HBO….

Duke vs. North Carolina

The final score won’t tell the story of this game. The largest lead prior to the final minute was 7. There were two things that cost Duke this game. First, Gerald Henderson was completely ineffective the entire game. He went over 20 minutes without…

Rodney Harrison is a Punk

Watching the Super Bowl pregame show. Rodney Harrison, who plays safety for the New England Patriots, was asked on the sideline who was going to win this year’s Super Bowl. He said, “Unlike last year, I think the best team will win. The Pittsburgh…

Yankees Sign Pettitte

Andy Pettitte turned down a $10 million, 1-year guaranteed contract in November. In December, when the Yankees signed Mark Teixera, they took this deal of the table. Nobody was really sure if we’d seen the last of Pettitte, and I hoped we hadn’t. Yesterday,…

Spagnuolo to Coach Rams

Not much else to say here. Being widely reported that Spagnuolo is gone. Once we know a bit more about the Giants of 2009, I’ll comment some more.

Fire Coughlin (Subtitle:Or Hope He Retires)

So, the title of this post will sound like I’m bitter from today’s loss. No question, I’m very bitter about today’s loss. But I see very little to blame on Coughlin. Eli really looked horrible all day. The defense was playing great. But how…

Giants Lock up Home Field Advantage

This was supposed to be a meaningless game. Just beat Philly or Dallas (we already beat them both once), and we lock up home field advantage throughout the playoffs. But that didn’t happen, so a game against Carolina in the freezing cold was to…
