Let me introduce you to Joe Rexrode. Mr. Rexrode is a beat writer in East Lansing, MI who had someone at Yahoo Sports afford him the gift of writing a special article about Saturday night’s 2nd Round East Regional game between UNC and Michigan State. What an absolute shame he wasted it with such an [...] Continue reading Sounds Like Someone is a Little Bitter According to WRAL.com, a handful of NC State fans were so incensed over the Ty Lawson dunk at the end of the ACC Championship that they took to spewing some racial slurs at the freshman’s general direction on the fan site “The Wolf Web.” The Wolf Web, which isn’t affiliated with the university, contained numerous [...] Continue reading Walking the Rivalry Tightrope I had a commenter register his opinion on one of my posts concerning the all time wins record which Bob Knight passed earlier this month. Usually I respond with the comments section, if at all, unless they offer up something exceptionally insightful or relatively asinine. Unfortunately for this guy, his was the latter and I [...] Continue reading A Quick Response to a Commenter Brian Barbour on November 15th, 2006 |  Comments are closed As most of the freedom loving world probably knows by now, Texas Tech coach Bob Knight made physical contact with a player on Monday night by tapping him on his chin to force him to look Knight in the face while he was “instructing” him on the finer points of college basketball. Naturally, ESPN took [...] Continue reading Yahoo’s Dan Wetzel on ESPN’s Knight Coverage Here at Tar Heel Fan I have a very stringent policy about not giving members in the media who write worthless pieces of tripe in an effort to pass them off as serious journalism any free traffic off my blog. So any columnist or blogger who I think is producing columns as traffic bait or [...] Continue reading Unlinkable: Ed Hardin, News and Record Brian Barbour on October 5th, 2006 | Comments are closed Deadspin does a great job in calling out CBS Sportsline national writer and THF Unlinkable Gregg Doyel for another one of his “Hate Mail” columns. These “columns” are made up of angry emails from readers dumb enough to qualify his worthless dreck with a response and Doyel’s denigration of them on issues such as their [...] Continue reading Deadspin On Gregg Doyel Brian Barbour on October 4th, 2006 | Comments are closed After linking the CBS Sportsline articles yesterday predicting great things from two incoming UNC freshman I concluded that I actually contradicted myself. I was somewhat critical of the writer for offering up worthless preseason player rankings without first seeing the players actually play a college game. Now granted they are predictions and maybe I should [...] Continue reading The Unlinkables ACC Now has this quote from Sports Illustrated’s Peter King, who in the course of his Monday analysis of the NFL weekend took at shot at John Bunting: The stupidity of the former University of North Carolina coaching staff that buried Willie Parker on the depth chart is on display every time he runs the [...] Continue reading Peter King on the UNC Coaching Staff The NHL Eastern Conference Finals have produced a fairly high level of animosity between Carolina Hurricanes fans and loyal followers of the Buffalo Sabres. The 850/620 Blog has hosted some heated discussions and the News and Observer’s Ned Barnett jumped into the fray when he received responses from Buffalo fans who say his columns re-printed [...] Continue reading Ignorance in Buffalo I honestly wonder how some people get thrust into certain positions where they are able to write missives read by the masses and are lauded as being a quality journalist. I get this feeling about once a week concerning CBS Sportsline’s Gregg Doyel but I also realize Doyel is a troll and rabble rouser of [...] Continue reading Ignoring the Facts 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 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 |
