There’s no question baseball has some shoring up to do with its drug testing processes. Commissioner Bud Selig said recently he doesn’t believe an outside, independent source is necessary to conduct the testing. But considering the sport’s recent track record, that’s a little disturbing.

Over the past weekend the first stone was cast for the 2008 baseball campaign. I take look back at the weekend play, plus I break down this weekends outlook for South Carolina verse Clemson. Also, Coastal Carolina will play host to the Baseball at the Beach tournament, what are their chances of bringing out the brooms. Dive into the Fisch Tank to find out.

The Carolina Panthers announced a couple moves Wednesday that prove they’re not only refusing to move forward, they’re going backward.
Carolina let go of last year’s botched quarterback signee David Carr after one horrific season — seriously, the Panthers were more comfortable handing the offense to 44-year-old Vinny Testaverde than this guy.
That move’s understandable, but combined with the re-signing of former star receiver Muhsin Muhammad, the Panthers are looking more 2004 than 2008.

The Auto Club 500 took almost 24 hours to complete, so who capitalized the most from a Monday run at Fontana?

Day two of the lower state finals was about as unpredictable as you get.
First off - Mullins loses. The Auctioneers had seemingly cruised through most of the regular season, and only received a real scare once or twice until Saturday’s game against Burke.
But for whatever reason, the Aucs weren’t themselves. Andrew Crawford missed a few easy layups and the Mullins’ 3-point shooters were kept surprisingly quiet. Not having Saquan McFarland at full strength didn’t help either.

It’s been a great year for coach Pat Hewitt and her Hartsville Red Foxes.
But Friday’s game was a hard way for your season to end.
The Red Foxes, winners of 12 straight games including an unbelievable last-minute victory against O-W last round, became victims No. 43 in Lower Richland’s quest for a third straight title.

After the Daytona 500, which Sprint Cup Driver is number 1 in my Terrific 13?  Find out, and weigh in yourself.

I’m not a golf fan.
I’ve never played the game — unless you counting hitting a few balls on the course behind a friend’s home when I was a kid.
And I don’t really intend to ever play the game — there are just too many other things to invest my time and money into.
But today at the office, I found myself turning the TV to The Golf Channel.

Everyone athlete hopes for that John Elway or Jerome Bettis moment.
You know, the one where you finish your career on top, holding on to the championship trophy, and then ride off into the sunset.
A lot of Vikings fans were hoping that that would be the way Rubylee Wright ended her spectacular career.
But it was not meant to be.

Why can’t Coastal Carolina get the support they need to build their new home for hoops? I have a few ideas why, and answers to solve their Gymnasium woes.

A shocking ending to the 50th running of the Daytona 500, sends a new winner to Victory Lane, and the two juggernaut teams left shaking their heads.

Before today’s 50th running of the Daytona 500, here are some facts that you should know about the previous 49 runnings of the Great American Race.

After two exciting qualifying races, we have our lineup, and the favorites haven’t changed whatsoever.

It’s not too farfetched to think that after losing Lashay Page, the Latta boys were going to go through some rough times.
But that hasn’t been the case.
A year after being ousted in the first round, coach Tony Whittington has his Vikings still alive and well, something they did only once while Page was there.

August and September brings the buzz of basketball and the start of football and while some sports fans think it’s the best time of year, I don’t. Give me February and March, for the simple reason of optimism.
