To Be Undefeated Or Not Undefeated

The wacky world of the NFL. There are teams scrambling in the middle still trying to get in the playoffs.

The top two Teams in the AFC took different roads this weekend.. San Diego no longer needing to win to be in the playoffs but needed to win to earn the #2 seed and a home playoff game in round two. The Chargers went all out for three quarters and secured victory before they pulled Philip Rivers and other valuable players.

Today with an undefeated season still a possibility Indianapolis chose to pull Peyton Manning and their valuable players early into the third quarter with only a 15-10 lead. The second team could do nothing and the New York Jets are back in the playoff picture and the Colts are no longer undefeated.

The NFC is more muddled tonight after New Orleans laid a egg against the Tampa Bay Bucs. The Saints no longer seem to be on a straight road to the Super Bowl. Minnesota right now #2 in the NFC has lost two of three games and the playoffs in the NFC may be falling to the best team in the NFC last year in the Cardinals.

The AFC has New England who can wins big at home and gets killed on the road. Cincinnati has a really good defense but can't score.

The NFC Philadelphia just doesn't thrill me and Dallas keeps hanging around.

Let's turn our attention to high school basketball. Nash County basketball tournament starts Monday at 2.00pm. The Lady Gryphons open up play at 2.00pm against Nash Central. The Gryphon boys don't hit the court until 6.00pm.

As of right now Rocky Mount does not have another home game until in basketball until January 21st. However there is a makeup game with Rose that will be a home game when ever the date is set up. That seems like a long time but there is a week of exams in there in which there will be no basketball.
