Brees Storms Past Brady

Last night the Super Dome was like it was the first game back after Hurricane Katrina. New England was the Turkey on the Saints plate. The Saints played almost perfect. When ever any team plays that way they had better look out next week. The Saints travel to play the Redskins. This is no joke. The Redskins have a chance.

New England is still good but they no longer look invincible. their defense will be their downfall.

What a difference one game makes. N C State winning over Carolina Saturday makes the off season look a lot better than finishing 4-8. Injuries are the unspoken tangible each and every season that breaks or makes coaches. State finished the season with twelve players out for the year. There was talk in the preseason that 9-3 was possible.

Bobby Bowden will step down today as coach at Florida State. There was a fifteen year stretch that Florida State football was what Notre Dame thinks it is where they finished in the top five every year. Boy the Seminoles sure have fell off the map in the last ten years. Bowden has still win 73 and lost 46 this decade.

The three remaining Twin County teams hit the road in the Eastern finals this Friday.
North Edgecombe has the most daunting task as they travel to take on Wallace Rose Hill in the 1-A Eastern finals.

Tarboro will be the only team on the road favored as they travel to ETown as it is known down south (ElizabethTown) to take on East Bladen. The only common opponent between the two is Whiteville who Tarboro waxed 41-0 this past Friday. During the regular season EB beat Whiteville 19-0.

Southern Nash makes that trip down I-95 to South Johnston in the 3-AA Eastern finals. Since Nash County schools have all been in the same conference for the last five years, this will be the fourth time one of them has made it as far as the fourth round.

I don't know whether any of you ever read the blog by Nick Phillips "thoughts out of my head". You should when ever you get a chance. Nick now a sophomore at UNC-P or as they want to be called Just Pembroke. The former Gryphon is heading upwards in the world of Journalism. I recommend reading his blog. It's good stuff.
