We want to make this clear: We have no problem, inherent, with Duke University, coach Mike Krzyzewski, the state of North Carolina, blue-colored demons or anyone who is not a dog but might still have the unfortunate nickname of "Duke."...

Bill Simmons Will Not Be Silenced
On the heels of a big Sports Illustrated story on him, good ole Bill Simmons "broke the ESPN.com" record with a two-hour chat yesterday.

Clipping Coupons At "Cold Pizza"
We know we pick on "Cold Pizza" a little more than we should around here; it's kind of an easy target sometimes, and besides, since we're here by ourselves all day, it's the only thing on. It's not as bad a show as, say, "Quite Frankly" or "Teammates," which is not to say it will ever be confused ...
