Wilmington's downtown icon remains a draw

5 days ago | dailyadvance.com | David Friedman

When visiting somewhere that gets a million or more visitors and vacationers a year, it can be challenging to differentiate which shopping and dining establishments are authentic to the region and which are simply a byproduct to the supply and demand of tourism. In downtown Wilmington, yards away from the Cape Fear River, stands The Cotton Exchange and there may be no better destination for representation of the region than that particular historic landmark. kAmxE :D 86?6C2==J E96 5@H?E@H?

Storylines may be missing, but playoffs still intriguing

I’m watching Golden State and Minnesota play in game one of their series and I’m struck by the number of storylines circulating this matchup and others throughout the NBA playoffs. As of now, Draymond Green has not put a chokehold on Rudy Gobert, so my first thought goes to Green, Steph Curry and the Houston Rockets.

Friedman: Reasons Shedeur Sanders dropped in the NFL draft

2 weeks ago | dailyadvance.com | David Friedman

I feel like we need to talk about Shedeur Sanders and you may not like what I have to say. This is a column that is going to bother some people because it is a topic that people feel strongly about and not everyone feels the same. Let me first acknowledge the obvious, I am a very Caucasian man about to discuss topics, including race. I recognize that my perspective is not everyone’s. I was reminded of that a lot the past few days.

Nico isn't the only person to blame in this fiasco

3 weeks ago | dailyadvance.com | David Friedman

Poor Nico. I know he makes a great salary, but it can’t be easy to be Nico Harrison right now. The Dallas Mavericks General Manager is going to be fired sooner rather than later. That’s the popular opinion anyway. Losing your job isn’t easy but having the public chant (whilst eating dinner at Medieval Times) that they want you to lose your job, seems like an extraordinary level of morally challenging.
It is playoffs many people don't are about season

4 weeks ago | dailyadvance.com | David Friedman

It is officially “playoffs that people care less about” season. This is the time of year when the NBA and NHL begin their postseason play whilst most sports fans here in the United States wait for football season to return. The NBA playoffs have already begun with play-in games, a format change made within the last few seasons that incentivizes teams to play hard and tank less at the end of the year. To their credit, they did not disappoint. kAm%96 v@=56?
Friedman: Put yourself in both people's places, then decide

1 month ago | dailyadvance.com | David Friedman

One of my favorite sounds comes from my son Miles when I can hear him in his room enacting some epic battle happening in that creative mind of his. He’ll make sound effects and create dialogue. He “becomes” all the characters. It will inevitably be less cool, and there will be limited sound effects, but I want us to do a little role-playing of our own. A more grown up version, with your consent of course. Relax, despite my instincts, we’re staying PG. kAm*@F 2C6 2 db\ J62C\@=5 4@249 H9@ 92D 366?
Friedman: Eliminating quarterback sneaks will make game more exciting

1 month ago | dailyadvance.com | David Friedman

The quarterback may not advance the ball forward themselves via rushing attempt if they receiving the snap under center. There… I solved the problem. No more tush push, no more brotherly shove, no more boring quarterback sneaks and no more predictable dog piles with smooshed centers at the bottom. Dear NFL, send me my title and salary because I’m your new fixer.
