Welcome

If you've found your way to this post, you are either a relative, a serious sports fan or both.

The bulk of my work appears at www.heraldsun.com, the Durham Herald-Sun's website. That's where my coverage of Duke athletics, primarily the acclaimed men's basketball program, can be found. In this corner of cyberspace, I'll provide links to that work plus a little more.

In New Orleans, where I worked covering some, um, interesting Saints' teams under Mike Ditka and Jim Haslett, this would be called lagniappe -- a Cajun term meaning "a little something extra." If you buy a dozen muffins, the baker may throw in a free cookie. If you read the Herald-Sun, you can pop over here for more Duke coverage.

I'll offer as much insight as I can and share some other behind-the-scenes stories that don't fit in the newspaper. I also throw some tidbits on Twitter. Check out @stevewisemanNC.

Drop me an email at swiseman@heraldsun.com with any comments. If you like what I wrote, say so. If you don't, share that as well. I'm a big boy. I can handle it.

Enjoy.
