August is supposed to be the Dawg-Days of the MLB baseball season, while September is usual full of excitement around playoff races and MVP & Cy Young awards.

NFL Week 1 Status Meeting: Shell Shock
Smokey: There’s this priceless moment in David Mamet’s film “State and Main” where the big Hollywood star played by Alec Baldwin crashes a car with a 15-year-old fan, and when he gets out of the mangled wreck his response is a drunkenly gleeful, “So…that happened.” The numbness of his understatement is a feeling I know [...]

CubicleGM ACC Preview
Let’s not let a tough first weekend for the ACC fool us – except for in a few select instances.
