Gryphons Sweep Hunt

Friday night in Wilson the Rocky Mount Gryphons got the backside of the 2010 basketball schedule going with a double header victory.

The Girls didn't score many but Pam Gainey's defense did the job and held the Lady Warriors to less than the Gryphons as Rocky Mount beat Hunt 34-28. The girls are 2-0 and now 9-2 on this season.

The boys welcomed back Tashawn Mabrey who had not played since Christmas and the news is good for the boys. Rocky Mount wins 68-60. The boys also find themselves at 2-0 in conference play but hit double digits with victories as they win their tenth game in eleven tries.

Don't look now but if the NBA playoffs ended today the Charlotte Bobcats would be in the playoffs for the first time in the franchise's history. Friday night the Bobcats won their sixth straight home game beating Tim Duncan and the Spurs. The Bobcats are 18-19 on the season and seventh in the eastern conference.

The NFL is front and center on Saturday and Sunday. Last weekend I was three out of four on my picks.I was set to go four for four until Green Bay made the fumble in over time instead of going down field and scoring like they were suppose to do.

Dallas is at Minnesota today. I just don't know whether I can trust Dallas or not. Other than San Diego the Cowboys are hot but I just have a feeling that Brett Favre is due a three interception game and Dallas wins 30-27.

Tonight the Ravens travel to Indianapolis and despite not being able to pass the ball I think Baltimore wins. I just don't like Indy shutting the season down the way they did. Baltimore 17- INDY 16

Sunday is the calculator game. I think Arizona is going to out score New Orleans 38-35.

The winningest team in the NFL the last six years is the Colts. They have won 77 games. Next is New England at 73 followed by San Diego with 67 wins. Pittsburgh and the Giants are tied with 65 wins.

Four of those teams have won Super Bowls in the last five years. San Diego is the only team on that list that hasn't won. In the history of the NFL no team that made the playoffs five of six years hasn't won the title all the way back even before the Super Bowl. San Diego this year has made the playoffs five of six years. San Diego is the greatest scoring team in any five year period in NFL history. History will continue San Diego wins the Super Bowl and Sunday night beat the Jets 27-7.
