Did Dook play this weekend?

Nope. They were at home watching the Heels, baby.

Business…got two sports links today. First is my take on Opening Day for the BSN. The next recounts a couple of facets of the Tar Heel Celebration for ESPN. The plan was to post a recap, but the piece says it all. Update Friday.

1. It’s hard not to be happy for the Heels after seeing the on-court celebration on Monday. Roy Williams can kiss my ass, I’m happier for Sean May and Co.

   As far as baseball and opening day goes, I can’t blame people (regardless of race) for not getting excited. When you play 162 games + the playoffs every year, one game just doesn’t seem as big. Compare that to opening day in the NFL, where opening day = 1 game, but that’s 1/16 of your season. MLB has been living off of home run chases for the last 5-7 years, and it’s gonna take a lot of new stars and exciting games to make MLB relevant to the masses again. Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds had a chance to make it work, but Sosa got caught with a corked bat, and everyone thinks Barry is juicing (Sammy too!)…even though no steroid in the world can make you swing a bat as fast and as accurately as Barry does…and MLB is right back where it started when 61 was still the number to chase.

   The ALCS last year was a good start, but it’s just the beginning. Here’s hoping they can pull it off before Congress shuts em down.
