Last Day Of NFL Regular season

Only a couple of spots available today for some in the NFL. Indy can clinch a playoff spot by winning and Jacksonville must win and hope Indy loses.

Green Bay and the New York Giants must win and hope. One will probably not make it even if they both win. I hope today is the last day we have to worry about Brett Farve. To put it bluntly he is over the hill and ready for the senior citizen ward. Hope we don't hear from him again until his hall of fame induction year. That is of course if he retires.

N C State got Tracy Smith back yesterday and he played well in a Wolfpack victory. If the Pack is to make a step toward improvement Smith and Leslie have to play well together and including yesterday and the two games Smith played before his injury it has not happened.

School starts again Monday and basketball returns for the Gryphons Wednesday and Friday. Hertford County is here Wednesday for a non-conference tilt while Friday starts the first round of conference play and Nash Central will be in the house. The Gryphons will be without starting freshman Donte Battle this week for sure as he was injured in practice last week.

I have had a lot of questions as to the status Terrell Hilliard as to why he has not played much so far this year after having been a force in the state championship run. I talked with Terrell during the holiday Tournament and he actually got a stress fracture of his leg during the State Championship game in March. Between a sprained ankle and his leg not quite healed Terrell is hoping to starting playing this week.
