Wheeeew !!! That’s was the sound of Duke fans Sunday as the Blue Devils escaped a scare in the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Wheeeew, indeed. I’m not bragging but my bracket looks pretty good right now

While on the theme of clear, Cam Newton says he’s going without sex for a month to clear his mind. Does that work ?
