Twenty-five years is a lengthy time to do anything. That’s how long that yours truly has been penning “From the Swamp.” It’s been a labor of love, because as my esteemed editor Chris Rieman is quick to point out, “You get paid the same salary ($0) as me.” All good [.....]
“From the Swamp” has the distinct pleasure of being back in Little Caesars Arena to see yet another UD alum. This time it is DaRon Holmes II and as we all know, Deuce isn’t suiting up for the Denver Nuggets this season, as he tore his Achilles tendon in his [.....]
No, he’s not an NBA All-Star. Yet. But Friday evening on TNT, the Flyer Faithful will get to see one of our own participate in the Castrol Rising Stars during the NBA All-Star Weekend at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Toumani will be a member of “Team Mitch” coached [.....]
