UNC Keeps Digging Deeper Hole For Itself In Academic Scandal
The UNC academic scandal—that's much less scandal and much more conversation with the last person left in the world to have seen the ending of The Sixth Sense—continues. To recap, athletes at UNC were enrolled in bogus classes and received assistance from faculty and administrators to help maintain ...
I Can't Stop Looking At Steve Spurrier In A Fast-Food Restaurant
I’m not sure which part of this photo of Steve Spurrier in a fast-food restaurant I like the most. That suit with the undone tie that makes him look like he just slept in his car? The sunglasses indoors? That thumbs-up and facial expression of utter satisfaction as he reaches into the condiment stat...
How Bold Is The New BBQ Whopper? A DadBoner Taste Test
'Sup. Karl "K-Money" Welzein here with an urgent message about bold flavors. The other day I was at BK and decided to give the Carolina BBQ Whopper a go-round. Man, I gotta say, it was off the chain. With a flamed-up beef patty, all natch thick-cut bacon, pepper jack, lettuce, ripe tomates, and wit...
Hey, It's 15 Years (And A Day) Since Mick Foley Got Thrown Off A Cage
In keeping with our inability to notice anniversaries until it’s too late, we’d like to point out that it was 15 years ago last night that Mankind and the Undertaker faced off in one of the most memorable and brutal wrestling matches of all time....
This MLB-In-Australia Thing Is Really Happening
It was just a glimmering possibility back in October, but it's real now—the Dodgers and Diamondbacks will open the 2014 season next March with a two-game series at Australia's Sydney Cricket Grounds (above). Yes, those Dodgers and Diamondbacks. It'll be the first-ever regular-season game played in ...
Panthers Lineman Hits Cam Newton With A Fantastic Videobomb
Usually, the mark of a good videobomb is its subtlety, but Panthers lineman Jordan Gross is proof that the art form can also be deployed with a more overt sensibility. Gross's frantic jig was enough to get Cam Newton to forget the question that he had just been asked, so we'll call this videobomb a...

Sadistic Media Targeted "Carolina Way," Whinges Ex-UNC Chancellor
Pro tip for anyone trying to make sense of a scandal. If the person at the center of it starts claiming that "the media" are persecuting them, it's usually (though not always) a solid bet that they are patently full of shit. It's the equivalent of shooting the messenger and then claiming self-defens...
This Is What It Looks Like To Be A College Baseball Catcher
South Carolina gave catcher Grayson Greiner a helmet cam for the Gamecocks' bout Wednesday against Wofford, and after some editing put the footage up on YouTube. ...
Panthers Owner Was At A "Closed" Council Meeting On Stadium Funding
Jerry Richardson has been aggressively seeking taxpayer money to fund upgrades to his 17-year-old stadium, despite leaked documents that show the Panthers are incredibly profitable. Here's another thing Charlotte residents didn't know until today: Richardson was invited to address the city council's...
The Panthers Are Getting Some Of The Public Money They Wanted For Stadium Renovations

"I Love Boobs" Gets The Approval Of The Carolina Hurricanes Pre-Game Show
We ordinarily try to avoid recognizing personalized jerseys, but we're making an exception just this once because poor Chantel McCabe of Fox Sports Carolinas happened to make that gesture just as that Penguins fan stood in that spot....
Martin Brodeur Scores Goal Against Carolina Hurricanes (Sort Of)
This is one way to come back from an injury. Early in the first period, the Devils were called for a penalty so, as teams always do, Carolina pulled the goalie to get a man advantage until New Jersey could possess the puck. It's a pretty fail-safe strategy in that it's virtually impossible for anyt...
Poor Dan Ellis Got Freight-Trained, Then Scored Upon
It's not supposed to work this way. Carolina goalie Dan Ellis was just minding his net and his own business, trying to wrest playing time from young Justin Peters in the wake of Cam Ward's MCL sprain. When—bam!—he gets bowled over by Ryan Callahan. Before he can collect himself, or scramble to his s...
No Holds Are Barred When It Comes To The Duke-UNC Rivalry, Including Brutal Lacrosse Nutshots
Discussion of the Tobacco Road rivalry between Duke and North Carolina usually focuses on basketball, but the two teams have long had a national presence in men's lacrosse. Both squads are ranked again this season, and last night's 11-8 Blue Devils victory in Chapel Hill wasn't without the bitter, t...

There's still a lot to unpack in the Carolina Panthers' financial statement, which we published Thursday. That document showed the team bringing in $112 million in operating profit over a recent two-year period, one that saw owner Jerry Richardson pleading hardship on behalf of his fellow NFL plutoc...

Leaked NFL Documents: While Owner Cried Hardship, Carolina Panthers Had $112 Million Profit Over Two Years [UPDATE]
In 2010 and 2011, as the NFL prepared for and staged a lockout of its players, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was among the hardest of the hardliners, urging his fellow owners to "take back our league" by demanding a more management-friendly collective-bargaining agreement....
