Tiebreakers in Greenville serves as March Madness hotspot
'It's the best time of the year, I mean it's even better than the Super Bowl,' Randy Humes said. 'You got basketball for the next three weeks. You got games on Thursday starting at noon.'
Everyone views the tournaments differently, even turning their homes into the ultimate viewing experience.
'Well, I got two TVs. There's going to be four games on probably at once several times during the day. It's just a matter of navigating and finding the channels,' Humes said.
However, other people around Greenville choose to take the madness in with larger crowds.
With teams like UNC and Duke taking part in March Madness, Tiebreakers tends to get packed this time of year.
'It's very popular, people like to come and eat wings and burgers and Tiebreakers is a great spot,' Moe Ngom said.

Rookie tight end Mason Taylor, son of Hall of Fame pass rusher, shining at Jets camp
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Mason Taylor remembers running around the fields as a wide-eyed kid at New York Jets training camp, visiting his famous father and rooting him on at games. He's back, 15 years later. And now, it's his turn. The rookie tight end, son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, has been one of the standout performers through the Jets' first nine camp practices. Taylor, a second-round pick out of LSU, is making plays and impressing his coaches and teammates. 'Mason, he doesn't talk a lot, he does work a lot, though,' quarterback Justin Fields said. 'From the moment he got here, he's been working, his head down working. He doesn't make really any mental mistakes, at least from what I've seen. He's a great route runner, he's smooth, has natural hands, so he's been great so far.' The 21-year-old Taylor, whose uncle is Hall of Famer Zach Thomas, received a text from his father the night before camp opened, offering him some sound advice. 'Really just stay where your feet are,' Taylor recalled. 'I mean, we always say that in our family — day by day, you know, attack the day, get better every single day and really just be where your feet are. Don't look into the future, don't look into the past and just take advantage of every moment you get.' Jason Taylor would certainly know all about that. Recognized as one of the NFL's greatest pass rushers with 139 1/2 sacks, the elder Taylor made a name for himself during 11 outstanding seasons playing for Miami and then one in Washington before joining Rex Ryan's Jets in 2010. New York was one of the league's best teams that season, reaching the AFC championship game — one win away from the Super Bowl. The Jets' kicker was Nick Folk, who just re-signed with the team — and now has the distinction of having been teammates with both Jason and Mason Taylor. 'It's a crazy, crazy world,' Mason Taylor said with a big smile. 'I mean, it's crazy to think about and now that he's on my team, it's a blessing, for sure.' Taylor is in position to have a major role on the Jets' offense as a rookie. He was listed Sunday on the team's first unofficial depth chart as a backup to Jeremy Ruckert, but the 6-foot-5, 251-pound Taylor is expected to see his fair share of snaps — especially if he continues with his impressive summer. 'The receiving skills, listen, that doesn't surprise me, I know he can do that,' coach Aaron Glenn said. "His blocking, I know he can block, but I didn't think it was going to be this good. So, I'm excited to see how he matures when it comes to camp on how we want to do things as far as that is concerned.' In three seasons at LSU, Taylor had 129 catches for 1,308 yards and six TDs, establishing himself as the most productive tight end in school history and one of the top players at his position in the country. The Jets parted ways this winter with Tyler Conklin, their top pass-catching tight end, by allowing him to leave in free agency. So, New York was in need of a complement to wide receiver Garrett Wilson and provide Fields another reliable outlet in the passing game. New general manager Darren Mougey jumped on the chance to bring in Taylor, who has made that selection look smart. 'I think it's been pretty good,' Taylor said of his progress. 'Things have been flying around in the installs and everything like that, but I think I've kind of grasped onto it pretty quickly. And with the help of my teammates and coaches, I've been getting on the playbook pretty fast." Taylor acknowledged that the little details of the offense — how many steps to take in a route, where you're supposed to be in position on a given play — have been the biggest things to which he has had to adapt. He has also put extra emphasis on his blocking, working on his hand placement and pad level as he aims to be an all-around tight end in the NFL. 'I see growth and development out of Mason,' offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand said. 'He's on the path to becoming what we expected and hoped he could be. And he's done a really nice job this camp in the pass game and in the run game as well. So, again, daily improvement by him, and we're excited to see where that continues to go.' ___

Bill Belichick highlights impact of transfer portal on UNC's 2025 football roster
Exactly how many transfers joined the UNC football program this offseason? If you don't recognize many players on this year's UNC football roster, that's because of several 2024 departures and 2025 transfer portal additions. North Carolina will enter its highly-anticipated season with new starters across the board. The Tar Heels will have a new starting quarterback for the third-consecutive fall, a young wide receiver room and entirely new defensive line, which replaces every 2024 starter. On Saturday morning at UNC's first day of Training Camp, head coach Bill Belichick spoke extensively about his new team's roster overhaul, highlighting how he looked to fill positions through the spring portal. "We have a lot of new players, a little over 40 from the spring and 70 guys that weren't on last year's team," Belichick said. "The first portal, we're just trying to find guys to fill the team. Second portal, we're looking for good football players. We felt like any position, if the player wanted to come in and compete – and we thought it was a good player – then this is the right spot for him. We'll give everybody an opportunity to compete. We're going to have to earn our spots on the field.' One of North Carolina's latest portal additions is Boise State linebacker Andrew Simpson, who played a major role in helping the Broncos make their first-ever College Football Playoff appearance last season. Simpson started 11 games – and should slot in as a Day One starter for the Tar Heels. North Carolina didn't know if Max Johnson, its 2024 initial starting quarterback, would be ready by the start of training camp. The Tar Heels nabbed South Alabama quarterback Gio Lopez, who thrived in 2024 as a first-time starting QB, in the transfer portal.
