An Early Look at the Madness

Ah yes, March Madness is finally here.  A time for Cinderellas, upsets, and a bunch of college kids enjoying the time of their lives.  And for me, a reminder of how bad North Carolina was this year.  I’ll be posting a more in-depth look at the field later on but here are my early thoughts [...]

Our First Podcast!

The time has finally come…for Writing the Pine’s very first podcast!  Yes, we are extremely lazy with our posting so we figured we’d give podcasting a shot.  It’s a new frontier we’re entering and hopefully you will be entertained by our thoughts.  For our first show, Rich (fivetool), Anderson, Gene (Final Word), and Dave talk [...]

Crazy or Crazy in Love?

I read tonight on foxsports.com that Elin Nordegren has agreed to move back in with Tiger Woods.  And now I’m wondering why in the hell she would do such a thing.  He cheated on her God knows how many times and honestly, what’s going to make him stop?  A little sex therapy?  The guilt he [...]

Fist Pump Fridays: Jersey Shore Presents The Hurt Locker

I am totally jocking fivetool’s style here but I saw this video and had to put it up in honor of him.  Amazing how these guys can stay relevant for so long.  Great for us though.  They are pure entertainment. SHE’S GONNA BLOW.

Kim Yu-Na Gives a Performance to Remember

Kim Yu-Na’s coronation as Korea’s Queen was completed Thursday night as she stood atop the medal podium with the gold hanging around her neck.  Kim dazzled the world with a performance for the ages, one that will go down as possibly the greatest in Olympic figure skating history and one of the greatest in any [...]

A New Kind of Nervous

I’ve been nervous about a lot of things before: tests, doctor’s appointments, any Duke/UNC game, whenever a fly ball heads Luis Castillo’s way.  But there’s always that extra bit of nervousness whenever I watch like the World Cup or the World Baseball Classic.  Something involving the major sports though.  The Olympics are great and I [...]

Yu-Na-ver Know

Especially in the Olympics.  Especially in figure skating where one mistake can drop you from first to fourth faster than you can say Lysacek.  Make fun of me all you want but I’m looking forward to watching ladies figure skating tonight and Thursday night.  Why?  Because my boo and fellow Korean Yu-Na Kim (pronounced Yun-Ah) [...]

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS

First and foremost, let me thank Nate Kaeding for giving us this game.  Of course the Jets played well and all and shut down the vaunted Chargers offense, but if Kaeding was his usual self, then it’s probably the Bolts that are moving on to Indy.  It’s been a rough playoffs for kickers huh?  Oh [...]

RIP Gaines Adams

Gaines Adams passed away yesterday.  Of course it’s always sad when someone dies but it starts to affect you more when it’s guys who are around your age.  I always looked up to professional athletes as heroes because they were so much older than me but now these guys are my age and even younger.  [...]

Got to Toughen Up

I was going to write a long post about the shortcomings of the North Carolina Tar Heels this season (I’ll save that for later), but I can sum it all up in one word: hustle. In a nutshell, nobody on this team is really going after the ball. All those 50/50 balls? [...]
