It ain't for everybody, believe me...

Wanna know why some news-type people go into TV journalism while others wind up working in radio? Did you ever wonder what is the true difference between somebody who speaks the news and somebody who writes the news? Well, allow me to show you...

It's one thing to read about the Charlotte Observer's Sweet 16 poll but it's quite a different matter when watching Observer sports writer Cliff Mehrtens present the latest rankings. Watching Cliffy do his thing for the camera is an experience. I promise you that whether it makes you laugh or cry (or maybe just laugh until you cry) rest assured that you will get emotional from the experience. So without further ado, I present Cliff's pre-season video installment of the Sweet 16 rankings.

But wait! There's more...

Here are Mehrtens and the other half of the Observer's dynamic duo, Langston Wertz, Jr., in their first Prep Insiders video blog of the season. Sportscenter? College Gameday? Who needs 'em? Prep Insiders, baby. That's what's up!
