It’s difficult for me, and other ITB residents I’m sure, to grasp the concept of having an outsider come in and rescue you from failure. When we fail at anything our parents simply bail us out by writing a check, calling their lawyers, disposing of evidence, or all of the above. However, it’s not at [...]

I Got Published In a Journal
It’s official: I’m published. Yesterday, I found out one of my tweets about the Dix park issue was published in an article by the Triangle Business Journal. The NC Senate voting on Dix is like Leesville saying Broughton can’t turn Fletcher Park into our own private golf course. Beyond absurd. — W. Needham Finley IV [...]
Boston Celtics Sign Broughton Legend Shavlik Randolph to Multi-year Deal
The Boston Celtics just got a lot more ITB. Yesterday, they signed Broughton/ITB legend Shavlik Randolph to a multi-year contract. Earlier this month, the Celtics signed Shav to a 10 day contract and then another 10 day contract after that. While playing for the Celtics he posted highs of 6 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 [...]
ITB Insider™ Gives First and Only Interview (until Oprah calls)
Last week I agreed to a sit down interview with Matt Lail (@Matt_Lail) of the Raleigh Philosophical Society. I don’t fully understand this Society, what it is, or what it does, but it seems pretty ITB. The introduction to the interview was spot on as well. With all due respect to my previous guests, including [...]
ITBNN Investigates: WRAL Fails at Investigating the Club For Not Paying Taxes
Once again ITB is under fire (not a mansion fire) from WRAL, the third best news organization in Raleigh, behind Broughton’s WCAP and the ITB News Network. WRAL did some “investigative” journalism and “discovered” that the Carolina Country Club (the Club) doesn’t pay corporate income tax because of its non-profit status. I still don’t understand [...]
ITB Year In Review 2012
I was on the fence about doing a Year in Review post, but after all this Manti Te’o fake dead girlfriend with cancer stuff I wanted to make sure everything that happened over the last year did, in fact, happen. Plus I was pretty blackout during most of the year, so I needed to make [...]
Roll Tide, Roll Caps: Alabama Wins 2013 BCS National Championship
Congratulations to Alabama for winning the BCS National Championship game against Notre Dame. More specifically, congratulations to Broughton’s Jeremy Shelley for winning his second BCS championship. We all know he should’ve won MVP of the BCS Championship game last year. Trent Richardson would’ve had 62 yards and 0 TDs if it weren’t for a garbage [...]
ITBNN: Charity Adoption, Broughton Steals Phones From Students, Under Armour Undeniable Finals
Charity Shelters I continued my streak of being charitable by adopting a bus shelter last week. I realize that nothing about that sentence sounds ITB, but let me explain. Last week, ITB City Councilman Bonner Gaylord tweeted: Who wants to help me beat Crowder? «@jhibbets Crowder challenges @bonnergaylord | ow.ly/fSrhE» — Bonner Gaylord (@BonnerGaylord) December [...]
