Ever since the NFL went to having two weeks between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl it has been hard for the NFL to do anything the Sunday before to hold viewer interest.
This year for the first time the NFL is bringing the Pro Bowl to the same city as the Super Bowl. This of course means that if you are playing in the Super Bowl you are out of the Pro Bowl.
The players perspective has been that if they played in the Super Bowl they didn't care about jumping on a jet the Sunday night after the Super Bowl and flying to Hawaii. The winners of the Super Bowl were on such a high from winning and the losers an all time low feeling.
The Pro Bowl is the only all Star game played at the end of the season and for some it has been a month since they have played. Due to injury factor and since it has always been when the season was over the NFL are hoping to revive the players enthusiasm to play in the Pro bowl.
Last night the Women of Carolina and State met on the hardwood in Raleigh with the trees of Carolina holding off the Wolfpack women. My only question is how good in Connecticut to have beaten UNC by forty in Chapel Hill?
Tonight Northern Nash makes a visit to Rocky Mount in Big East conference basketball. History may be in the offering if Tashawn Mabrey scores 23 points he will break Phil Fords's all time Rocky Mount scoring record. I would suspect you need to be in your seat early for this one.
