Brian Barbour on April 29th, 2006 |  Comments are closed I was watching the NFL Draft coverage and ESPN’s “analyst”(and I use that term loosely) Michael Irvin is griping and complaining about the Houston Texans passing on USC’s Reggie Bush in favor of NC State defensive end Mario Williams for the #1 pick in the NFL draft. Now, on one side, not taking Bush may [...] Continue reading Michael Irvin is Clueless Brian Barbour on April 25th, 2006 | Comments are closed In considering the media role in the Duke Lacrosse Case I asserted that one of the deeply troubling trends found in the conclusions being made on the national coverage level exhibited an incredible level of hubris and illustrated little knowledge of Duke, Durham, and North Carolina in general. There was never a starker example of [...] Continue reading More Thoughts on the Duke Lacrosse Case The Defense The defense lawyers in this case have been known for their penchant to put their case and counter evidence on display for the world to see. The most obvious reason why is they are influencing a potential jury and hoping the public opinion will tilt so far in favor of their clients it [...] Continue reading The Duke Lacrosse Case, Part 2 Brian Barbour on April 20th, 2006 | Comments are closed As a blogger from the Raleigh area one might construe that I have fallen short of my responsibilities for not having raised this issue already.

Since we [...] Continue reading Salary vs. Value Brian Barbour on April 4th, 2006 | Comments are closed On Sunday afternoon I checked my email and I was alerted to seven new comments on the blog here. I logged in and found that I had apparently ticked off UCLA fans with my Final Four post(which is interesting since I spent more time blasting LSU and Big Baby than I did anyone else.) Anyway, [...] Continue reading National Championship: Not Even Close Wow, that sucked. After a great set of games with most going down to the wire we got treated to a pair of games which were over by the first TV timeout of the 2nd half. Also what you had here was a classic case of clearly inferior teams being exposed for the frauds they [...] Continue reading The Final Four: YAAAWWWNNN!!!! Multiple media sources are confirming that NC State head coach Herb Sendek has decided that a $1 million annual salary and not having to put up with a slew of whiny and ungrateful Wolfpacks fans is enough incentive to go to Arizona St. and coach there. Given the pressure he has endured in Raleigh this [...] Continue reading Considering Herb Sendek Gone |
