Well, after the loss to Buffalo last night I started cruising around YouTube, checking out all the Buffalo Sabre fan videos. Seriously, read some of the comments. So much complaining, calling themselves “the real champions” (because of their injuries) and making derogatory comments towards Carolina fans. Then of course, they are relishing their regular season success this year.

Just made me want to go back, and look at this:

I also have a couple of videos from the finals:

Game 7 Highlights 

Justin Williams Clincher

ESPN (better known as the hype machine) finally gets something right in this apology article to Mario Williams.  I think Reggie Bush is going to end up being a pretty good player, but it’s been terribly obvious for real football fans that he has been way over-hyped this year.  Your real rookie of the year is still a Saint, but his name isn’t Bush.  It’s 7th round pick Marques Colston.

 

A very disturbing story out of Charlotte, NC. It seems that a Hitler speech was played throughout the stadium before a high school soccer game. They are making it out to be sort of an accident, but I don’t think things like this happen on accident.

Read about it here.

New NC State basketball coach Sidney Lowe discusses tomorrow nights opener vs. Wofford. I’m going to try and attend this game to get a feel for this years Wolfpack team. I have a feeling it is going to be a long year. (This feeling is not unique when it comes to State fans)

Sadly enough, football (both college and pro) has made headlines this year for things other than touchdowns and extra points. Monday Night there was another altercation, this time between Tyler Brayton of the Oakland Raiders, and Jerramy Stevens of the Seattle Seahawks.

You can watch Drayton put a knee in Jerramy’s crown jewels here.

Fines were handed out to each player today. No suspensions were issued.
Of course, everyone saw the brawl between Miami and FIU back in October. Check it out here, and be sure to listen to the idiotic comments from Lamar Thomas at the 1:48 mark. Suspensions were handed out to both teams, the Miami player shown swinging the helmet was suspended indefinately. Here is a great ESPN take on the situation.
Then there was Albert Haynesworth stomping on Andrew Gurode’s head. You can watch that gem here. Haynesworth was suspended 5 games.

The wrong message is being sent to players with weak suspensions or fines. It’s time the NFL and especially the NCAA step up and show that this type of thing isn’t acceptable. It’s really sad that the NFL will fine a player for doing an end zone dance, and then fine a player for kicking another player in the groin. The crimes don’t match.

N.C. State athletics director Lee Fowler said he is still 100% behind coach Chuck Amato. This despite a 3-6 overall record and a Wolfpack squad that continues to show ZERO improvement in regard to discipline on (and sometimes off) the field. This is quickly turning into another Herb Sendek type of situation where the Pack is going to be left searching for a coach when there is none to be had. In the meantime, UNC has dismissed John Bunting and begun to coddle names like Butch Davis. It appears that the Pack is once again going to be left in the dust. Thanks Chuck.
