Although it may only appear to be a recent thing since it’s been going on for a very long time, nonetheless, much of the world appears to be falling into cycles of chaos or revenge.  It’s been a steady theme in our time and we may be forgiven for believing that it’s accelerating.  However, as [...]

We’ve been thinking about this too:  Heather Dinich pens an open letter to Duke fans to tell them that, hey, not only do you have a football team, but it’s starting to be a pretty interesting one, too, and they deserve the support of Duke fans. And consider how far they’ve come this year, [...]

It’s been eight years, but the whole thing is still unbelievable.  People who were alive when President Kennedy was assassinated still remember the details of when and where they got the news.  For us, it’s like that with 9/11. 
On the eighth anniversary of the attacks in New York and Washington, we’d just like to [...]

After getting hammered by the NCAA, Memphis fans and some journalists wonder why Duke didn’t get the same thing after the issue with Corey Maggette and his AAU coach, Myron Piggie.

Over the last several decades, one constant in the ACC was the presence of journalist Bob Novak at Maryland games.  Unlike a lot of fans, he was there through thick and thin. When Maryland hit the skids after Len Bias died, he stayed with them. 
So while we differed with him on our schools, we [...]

Les Paul is one of those guys you just became aware of, but we didn’t fully appreciate his genius until we saw a documentary a year or so ago which has since become one of our all-time favorite films. The guy was just a gem.

It wasn’t so much his talent for invention, although inventing [...]

As we learned Monday, the sports radio landscape shifted quite a bit as McClatchey Broadcasting opted to pull out of the local market in a deal with both Curtis Media and Capitol Broadcasting which sees Capitol picking up WDNC (aka The Bull) in Durham, and 850 The Buzz, taking the solid morning show from 850 [...]

He’ll tell you more about this soon himself, but Matthew Laurance, who has done such a great job with the Duke radio network, will be leaving Duke for a job in another state. He’s told us all the specifics, but he’s asked if he can use DBR to tell you guys more about what [...]

The world has changed so much since the 1980s that we sometimes forget just how much it has changed.  The death of Corazon Aquino reminds us of some important things.
Like her contemporary Lech Walesa, Aquino came to symbolize a nation’s refusal to just sit back and take the crap their government was dishing out.  In [...]

As many of you know, we’ve been looking into the ad problems posed lately by a couple of advertisements of dubious worth.
The problem we’ve had on our end is this:  the system is largely automated, and while Google provides a couple of tools to inspect things, we haven’t been able to verify that the [...]
