On November 21st, 1789 North Carolina ratified the United States Constitution and was admitted as the 12th U.S. state. The home to the Panthers, Bobcats, and Hurricanes really needs a pro baseball team. They’ve gotta be sick of rooting for the Braves by now – they’re one of the losingest teams in MLB history. The Nats aren’t much better and the Orioles have more of their opponents’ fans in the stands than their own. While they don’t see many baseballs in flight (on the pro level) within state boundaries, they do have bragging rights to being first in flight, which is the state’s motto.

Just a short time ago, 64 teams entered into the March Madness tournament filled with hopes of NCAA basketball glory. But after a lot of sweat, tears and bracket-killing upsets, we’re down to the lucky bastards of the Sweet 16. And we could think of no better way to celebrate this than, you guessed it, cheerleaders!

Are you sitting down? Ok. Apparently, a Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter spotted a massive marijuana-growing operation in Cherokee National Forest, just miles from the Tennessee/North Carolina border. The officers seized 35,000 plants, equaling $700 million in “street value” prices.
