How lucky are we getting David Glenn to join our team! This is no exaggeration. In all my years in the media, I have never known anyone more talented than Glenn, who has become a contributor to Chapelboro.com. His bi-weekly presence will make the fastest-growing website in the Triangle even more popular. I’ve known David […]

Phil Mickelson means more to golf than ever. Just when professional golf was becoming a maze of names and no-names to the casual fan, old Lefty has burst back onto the scene. Mickelson’s dramatic win at the PGA on the Ocean Course has made interest in this weekend’s US Open skyrocket. With Tiger out for […]

Why is Kevin Durant almost never in a conversation about LeBron? Durant has one of the most understated careers in the NBA, mostly drowned out by the never-ending chatter over whether LeBron is better than Michael. Let’s forget that junk from different eras. His unsung-ness could have started with Durant’s one year at Texas after […]

Mack Brown has come up with another cool recruiting gimmick. Mack and Sally Brown recently moved into their beautifully restored house in the historic district of Chapel Hill. Those who have toured it say it is undoubtedly the work of Mrs. Brown, who was building luxury homes and neighborhoods in Chapel Hill when she met […]

Now that the College Football Playoff committee is contemplating an expansion of the CFP from four to 12 teams, tell me what that does besides appease all the conferences that want additional teams in the playoffs? In that uneven format, obviously the top four teams get byes and the next eight play off to see which get another game to try to reach the Final Four. […]

Who should Frank Maynard  play his 99 holes of golf with? On Friday, June 18, the UNC golf professional will play five and a half rounds from sunrise to sunset at Finley to contribute financial support for Folds of Honor, a PGA of America’s program that provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled […]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bronx is Burning hot. About a week after Roy Williams retired, when he needled me about how the Red Sox were struggling early in the season, I texted him to check the American League East standings. “I am afraid to,” he texted back, knowing that the Yankees were last in the […]

Will the recent rocking at PNC Arena end tonight? Obviously, the Hurricanes dug themselves into a big hole by losing the first two games of the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs at home to the Lightning, who have the advantage of the championship Kool-Aide everyone in the Tampa Bay area is drinking these […]

Here are the first two things that need to be fixed in college athletics. You might think NIL or Name-Image-Likeness is one of them, but it’s not because no one can seem to figure out what that means beyond athletes getting paid for having their names on jerseys and other apparel.
