Fan Falls From 4th Level of Stadium at ACC Championship

A spectator was rushed to a North Carolina hospital Saturday night after falling from an upper level of Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium during the ACC Championship football game between Georgia Tech and Florida State University.

Charlotte Mecklenburg police Major Eddie Levins said in an e-mail that the 22-year-old man apparently fell from the fourth level of the stadium.

The man was taken to Carolinas Medical Center with what were said to be life-threatening injuries.

Michael Stanford, the supervisor of special operations for Mecklenburg County EMS, says his agency responded to an incident in which a spectator fell from the ramp leading to the stands shortly after the 8 p.m. kickoff.

The fall is the first of its kind from Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers.

Delegates Behaving Badly

Ever wonder what all these delegates do at political conventions besides waving signs and clapping and cheering?

Well, two delegates in Charlotte for the Democratic Convention apparently had a little too much fun and one was already sent home.

Same stuff probably goes on at the Republican Convention, but not sure if Fox would report it.

Have a watch:

Fantasy Golf Buy, Sell or Hold for Wells Fargo Championships

A great field, minus Tiger Woods will tee it up this week at the Wells Fargo Championships in Charlotte.

Rory McIlroy is the defending champ and he earned it last year shooting a 62 in the final round to get the win.

He is joined by Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Mark Wilson and last week's winner, Bubba Watson.

Here is this week's buy, sell and hold.

Buy:

Nick Watney (A) - A great play this week.  Has not missed a cut in 2011 and has four top 10's in seven starts.

Phil Mickelson (A) - It doesn't take a genius to put Mickelson in the lineup this week.  He doesn't miss cuts and he finished second here in 2010.

Brendon de Jonge (B) - He's quietly having a very good year.  He plays this course well as he finished fifth last year.  If he can shoot better in final rounds he'll be a top play most weeks.

J.J. Henry (B) - This is another good week to play Henry.  He finished T-7 here last year.  No pay any attention to his first missed cut of the season last week at the Zurich.  he's rebound nicely this week.

Robert Allenby (B) - It's about time for Allenby's game to come alive.  He played well in Charlotte last year and is coming off some good play in Houston and New Orleans.

Mark Wilson (C) - Wilson like this event, he finished T-7 last year.  It's about time for another top-10 for Wilson.

Ryan Moore (C) - Moore should be nice and rested as he hasn't played since The Masters.  He hasn't missed a cut in 2011, and any time he tees it up, he can win.

Sell:

Alex Prugh (B) - Yeeesh.  He's missed five straight cuts.  Stay away!

Colt Knost (C) - Hasn't done much the last five weeks or this year.  Best finish is a T-29.

Nathan Green (C) - Green is having a disappointing 2011 at this point.  His best finish is a T-23 in Texas.  I don't see him doing much this week.

Hold:


Rory McIlroy (C) - Not sure what to expect from the defending champ this week.  If you need another C-level player, you may want to play him this week.


The AudioBoo will be posted a bit later than usual this week.  Check back for our "flyer" of the week.

NHRA is Four-Wide

If you are going to watch one drag race on ESPN2 this year, you might want to watch the Four-Wide Nationals tonight.

32,000 horse power heading down the strip all at once.  This is the one time each year where four cars drag race side-by-side.

The Bruton Smith track in Charlotte has four laes and they use them all.  Quite a spectacle.

Note:  It's also on ESPN3 this afternoon if you want to watch it live online.
