Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins first met in the ring 16 years ago. It was for a vacant middleweight title on May 22, 1993. Roy won by a unanimous decision, but at the time, neither fighter was that big of a deal. Now, sixteen years later, both are considered ring royalty—they’ve each gone their separate ways and each has made history on their own merit, without having met in the ring since. Until now—a reunion has been planned and boxing fans can’t wait.
It’s so hard to believe this rematch didn’t occur earlier. Both fighters are now in their 40s—Roy …read more

While the 2009 NBA Draft was regarded as one of the weakest drafts in recent memory, there were a few steals along the way. Here’s a look at some of the best steals of the draft:
DeJuan Blair, San Antonio Spurs
When the draft process first began, DeJuan Blair was regarded as a lottery pick. But then a look at his knees scared off a number of teams and tumble down all the way to the Spurs at pick number 37. He should be a fantastic fit in San Antonio.
Danny Green, Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers need some help out on the perimeter and …read more

The Tar Heels just humiliated Duke in their house again for the fourth year in a row 101-87.
Ty Lawson led all scorers with 25 points. Tyler Hansbrough had 17 and Danny Green and Wayne Ellington had 15 points each.
Green and Hansbrough did something that’s never been done in the Mike Krzyzewski era – they went four for four at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Duke was led by Kyle Singler‘s 22 points. Jon Scheyer added 20 and Gerald Henderson tossed in 17 for the Blue Devils.
Honestly, after the Blue Devils (20-4, 7-3) took a 52-44 lead at halftime, I thought the outcome …read more

 As we start out 2008, I figured the best way to kick things off is to do a running commentary of the #1 team in the nation – the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Heels come into the game a bit short handed – backup guard Bobby Frasor blew out his knee and is gone for the season, backup guard Quentin Thomas is nursing an ankle injury is questionable for the game, and forward Alex Stephenson is away from the team attending to family matters.
Will the lack of depth hurt UNC?
The announcing crew is  Mike Patrick and Len Elmore. Let’s …read more

The #1 ranked North Carolina Tar Heels looked very impressive last night in their 106-70 victory over Nevada. Tyler Hansbrough led the way with 26 points and Wayne Ellington chipped in with 23 as the Tar Heels improved to 12-0 on the season. However, the victory was overshadowed by a knee injury to backup point guard Bobby Frasor. Frasor tore the ACL in his left knee and is out for the year.
Frasor was a valuable cog in head coach Roy Williams’ rotation and his absence will definitely impact the Tar Heels as they enter the ACC conference regular season schedule.
But …read more
