I will be honest here – I am so inured to the culture of corruption, and Monty Python’s Black Knight caliber of willful and idiotic denial…I didn’t think anything UNC scandal related could shock me anymore. Then I read this, and you should as well: Prepare to be disgusted. Horrific doesn’t even begin to describe [...]
Paige-Moss gets caught throwing another punch & Barry Saunders rewind (Day 102)
Alert readers will remember Donte Paige-Moss from my Day 90 update. That entry recounted and linked this interview in which Paige-Moss compares the dismissed former UNC players to “bank robbers” who “just got caught.” Paige-Moss reasoned that if ten people rob a bank, the only one who gets in trouble is the one guy who gets caught. I bring [...]
BREAKING NEWS: Weslye Saunders (I spelled it ‘correctly’) questioned by NCAA
If we polled NC State fans for some of their least favorite players in college football history, South Carolina’s Weslye Saunders would rank much higher than anyone would ever expect from a tight end that plays for a non-conference opponent that calls Columbia, SC home. Last August, we highlighted the following classless comment from Weslye [...]
Barry Saunders Mentions SFN In A Column About His Son
As I write this, it is on the keyboard of my laptop — the external one that I use was ruined when I spit out my coffee laughing out loud a few minutes ago. I was reading the online edition of the Raleigh News and Observer, and came across local raconteur Barry Saunders’ column defending [...]

It’s said that apples never fall far from the tree, and in this case, the it’s a proven fact: the son of News and Observer columnist Barry Saunders (whom you might remember for fabricating stories about chants in the RBC) had this to say about his Gamecock’s game in Carter-Finley next Thursday night: “I’m going [...]
‘Shawty Get Loose’…and don’t come back
The 55-year-old tournament adopted as its theme song this year “Shawty Get Loose” by Lil Mama, a booty-shaking singer of barely discernible talent in tight leather pants. Why, oh why would the tradition-bound, staid ACC adopt a hootchy song as its theme song? Mark the calendars, lock up the kids, and throw away conventional wisdom…because [...]
‘Signgate’ stupidity and the good old double standard!
Been traveling a lot. (No…not the Tyler Hopswalk kind of traveling) Busy with work. Only so many hours in the day to keep the blog updated. I was at the game last night. Saw the “disgraceful” (sarcasm) sign that the baseball player held up at halftime. Didn’t think twice about it. All I could make [...]
Saunders Takes Bias to a New Level
When you expect someone to be incompetent and ultra-biased then it is nearly impossible for that person’s views or actions to cause a surprise. Therefore, when you consider that the N&O’s resident racist (Barry Saunders) found a way to reach new levels of incompetence and bias today then you wonder what is next out there. [...]
