The Luther Vandross Version
So I had a realization last night at about 10PM, only a few hours before Tarheel fans risked third-degree burns in celebration and just an hour into Jim Nantz’s desperate effort to figure out where Billy Packer was, that I did not have to wait through a horribly boring basketball game just to see the [...]

Something to Ponder Whilst on the Poo-er
Building on the ‘Something to Ponder Whilst on the Poo-er’ series, I proudly present CubicleGM’s first non-baseball themed discussion.
