So ex-Duke point guard Greg Paulus is thinking about becoming a college quarterback. The former national high school football player of the year says Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez has offered him a scholarship. He says he has also heard from other Division I-A schools. Now, Greg, when you get embarrassed on the basketball court, Deron Washington hurdles you for a layup. But when you get embarrassed as a QB, you will be the victim of painful sacks. And it's going to be tougher to score on the gridiron than it was for you at Cassell Coliseum when Kyle Singler caught the Hokies napping by throwing you an inbounds pass three-quarters of the way down the court. So, good luck, Greg. I have a feeling you're going to need it. -- Mark Berman

Last April, then-candidate Barack Obama played basketball with the North Carolina Tar Heels. Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson and the rest of a squad that was coming off a Final Four appearance got to play with and against a future President of the United States. On Tuesday, the Radford University Highlanders, who were thumped by UNC in the first round of this year's NCAA tournament, had to settle for playing with U.S. Sen. Mark Warner. Or was it Warner that had to settle for playing with the Highlanders? Not sure how to phrase that. But Warner's visit to the Dedmon Center presumably left both sides with a little something more to aspire to. -- Mark Berman

I knew Harry Kalas was the voice of the Phillies, but that's not how I got to really know him. His work for NFL Films is legendary. And there were times you would catch him on the radio calling an NFL game. When you heard him on a commercial, it made you pay attention. What a voice and what a delivery. He could make a name like Mickey Morandini sound like it had 10 syllables. ESPN has made it too much about how clever you can be. The great voices are leaving us much too soon. Here's to a long life behind the mic for Vin Scully and Jon Miller. -- Jeff Gilbert

I don't know where else this is being reported and don't have the time to check, but a person in the know advises me that American University assistant Jason Williford has been in Charlottesville today to discuss a position on Tony Bennett's new Virginia basketball staff.

Williford, a former UVa player from the Richmond area, has more of a school and in-state connection than anybody on the Bennett staff, which will include associate head coach and former Liberty head coach Ritchie McKay and Bennett's former Washington State aide, Ron Sanchez.

As of 7:30 p.m., my source had not heard if an offer had been made to Williford.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was supposed to fulfill his destiny to become great once he signed up to race for Rick Hendrick. How's that working out so far? For those who like to think it's all about the equipment and the money, take another look. Earnhardt teammates Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson are 1-2 in Sprint Cup points. Junior is 16th. There's no denying that equipment and money mean a lot, but it takes championship driving talent as well. Maybe Junior doesn't have it. -- Jeff Gilbert
