Athletes are just like people who win the lottery. Most of the time average Joe's who when they hit the big money have no idea how to handle it.
That ten million dollar life style is on the other side of town compared to the 25,000 a year life of most who win the lottery.
Yesterday another life was lost to the fast lane. Chris Henry of the Cincinnati Bengals looks like now may have jumped from the bed of a pickup truck in which his girl friend was driving. I wonder if we will ever hear the truth on this one.
N C State made an 11 point comeback last night against basketball power Elon and won their eighth game of the season with only one loss. State travels to Wake Sunday night to open ACC play on Sunday night ACC basketball.
Was off by one day, the Gryphons play basketball in Greenville tonight against Rose weather permitting.
The Indy Colts continue to stay undefeated as they beat the Jaguars in Jacksonville. The score was 35-31 as Peyton Manning the better of the two Manning brothers threw for four touchdowns. I just don't see the Colts in the Super Bowl just getting by the way they do.
There is one thought from this historic twenty three game regular season win streak that the Colts are on. As long as Manning is on the field they have a chance at winning.
Some loose business to take care of. I was on a sports panel for WHIG-TV along with my sidekick Wes Bradshaw and as part of the WHIG-TV game of the week they were telling everyone that they were going to give a coach of the year award to the top coach. The winner Raymond Cobb of Southwest Edgecombe. SouthWest got $1,000 donated to the school athletic fund. Raymond got four votes, Danny Ward of North Edgecombe received one and Tarboro's Jeff Craddock got one vote from me.
I found this out last night when I attended the WHIG-TV Christmas party. Everyone who you see on Whig-TV anytime during a week was there. Herb and Sandra really put on a nice show last night.
