Before the season began, my expectations for the Braves were through the roof and for good reason. They’ve won a division pennant in each of the last three seasons and first baseman, Freddie Freeman, was awarded the NL MVP award just last year. Not to mention four Silver Sluggers on one roster. Yet, after aContinue reading “Tomahawk Chop… ing Block?”

Ranking the Rookies: Panthers’ Edition
Just a short month after trading for Sam Darnold, the Carolina Panthers were looking to add some depth to the roster in this year’s draft, primarily on the offensive side of the ball. Newly added GM, Scott Fittterer, had made some minor moves in free agency, but the draft was his first opportunity to reallyContinue reading “Ranking the Rookies: Panthers’ Edition”
March Madness Leads to April Sadness
It’s been only a few short weeks since the 2021 NCAA Tournament concluded, capped off by a dominant run from the Baylor Bears to secure the school’s first title. Because of an early, first-round exit from the Tar Heels, I didn’t follow the madness as closely as usual… or maybe I did, just not forContinue reading “March Madness Leads to April Sadness”
Heels Stick With Hubert at the Helm
Let me start by saying that I called it. Just days before Roy’s retirement became official, I released a column about the potential that we would see a new head coach before next season and as we all know, I was right. Even being able to say “I told you so,” it was still aContinue reading “Heels Stick With Hubert at the Helm”
Darnold Jets Out of New York
It’s been a while since I released any content regarding Carolina’s beloved NFL franchise, partially because the offseason hasn’t involved any blockbuster deals. The front office has worked tirelessly to tighten up the offensive line and some key additions were made on the defensive side of the ball *cough* Haason Reddick *cough* but no headlineContinue reading “Darnold Jets Out of New York”
Unlimited Soup, Salad and Stress
The pandemic has dealt out plenty of inconvenience during the last year and I know I can’t be the only one who’s had to pick up a job or two to lessen the financial burden on my parents. Whether it’s paying rent for my apartment, picking up a tab at the bar, or purely stoppingContinue reading “Unlimited Soup, Salad and Stress”
ABC Store: Atlanta’s Beverage Choices
The MLB’s Opening Day has quietly crept up and is now just a few days away. Atlanta will kick of the season with a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies this upcoming Thursday and the expectations are through the roof. I’m stoked. Before the year picks up and all of my attention is directed towardsContinue reading “ABC Store: Atlanta’s Beverage Choices”
Reflecting on Roy’s Career: Dean Dome Departure?
Any fan of college basketball knows the name Roy Williams, and they know it well. The North Carolina head basketball coach has been at the forefront of collegiate hoops for over a decade and a half, drawing comparisons to Mike Kryzewski, Jim Boeheim and the legendary Bob Knight. Over the course of his career, WilliamsContinue reading “Reflecting on Roy’s Career: Dean Dome Departure?”
Wait, Who Just Scored?
If you’re this deep into my blog, it’s evident by now that sports aren’t just a hobby of mine, they’re a way of life. I can spit out the most bogus statistics, list off entire rosters and I own just as many jerseys as I do t-shirts. Despite all the knowledge I carry, however, IContinue reading “Wait, Who Just Scored?”
The Tar Heels on Turf: How UNC Became a Two-Sport School
I came into the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with considerably low expectations for our football program. Throughout most of my adolescence, the team had sucked pretty badly and despite four different head coaches, Carolina could never seem to piece together an ACC Championship win. While there are some bonafide legends to comeContinue reading “The Tar Heels on Turf: How UNC Became a Two-Sport School”
