Friday night football — Oct. 24, 2008
Western Harnett 20, Southern Lee 7
SANFORD — Arron Morris was coming.
It was as if the play was being made in slow motion. The pass in the flat. The catch. Morris coming like a freight train.
And hitting like a battering ram.
Catch and pop, and then the oohs of the scattered crowd on a rain-soaked night. It [...]

Click above to hear the premiere episode of The PODcast, Sanford’s first and only sports radio talk show.
You can see in my earlier post today that we launched the show today through Central Carolina Community College’s radio station, WDCC 90.5 FM. We covered a bunch of stuff, ranging from a World Series preview to the [...]

The PODcast is coming! The PODcast is coming!
Just what you need. After reading my drivel, soon you will have the chance to hear it in spoken form — along with the drivel that comes from Herald sportswriter Ryan Sarda.
On Wednesday at 9:30 a.m., The PODcast, a 30-minute weekly sports talk radio show on Central Carolina Community College’s WDCC 90.5 FM station, debuted [...]

Manny is definitely a jerk
Sunday’s Designated Hitter column was actually mostly written right around August, but I decided against finishing it or publishing it.
But after seeing Manny Ramirez go from dogging it and faking an injury — two of them if you count the fact he forgot which knee was supposed to hurt — only to hustle his butt [...]

Thoughts on Game 6 of the Sox/Rays ALCS
Thanks TBS. Thanks a lot.
Technical difficulties, huh? Fantastic. It’s only the most anticipated baseball game of the season after the miraculous Red Sox comeback in Game 5.
There’s a game being played, but there’s no broadcast of it ’cause TBS is having technical difficulties.
Terrible.
And now, according to an online gamecast, B.J. Upton just blasted a homer [...]

Athens Drive 41, Lee County 33
RALEIGH — Once again, it was a second-half surge that resulted in Lee County’s sixth straight loss.
The Yellow Jackets dropped to 0-4 in the Tri-8 Conference and to 1-7 overall with their 41-33 loss to Athens Drive on Friday night.
Omar Murriell recorded 200 yards rushing on 23 carries and scored [...]

Thoughts on Boston/Tampa Bay, Game 5 of the ALCS
I’m trying to still care about the baseball playoffs. I’m a baseball fan first and a Cubs fan second (I think), so I feel like I still should be following the LCS games and the World Series, but it’s been tough.
Believe me, it’s been tough, real tough. Especially when just a week after looking like [...]

The Great Seve Ballesteros
Like most golf fans around the world, I was saddened to hear about Seve Ballesteros, winner of five majors and 87 titles around the world, who is fighting a brain tumor.
What’s also disheartening was that I had a lot of trouble finding any highlight videos on the web of some of [...]

A (NASCAR) reprieve, thanks to Jeff Burton
Being a still-mourning Cubs fan, I got a little bit more than just a small consolation with my main man Jeff Burton winning the Bank of America 500 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway on Saturday night.
Three gutsy pit calls, holding off a charging Kasey Kahne — the only driver who seems to be even close to being [...]
