State Legion Tournament In High Gear

Wayne County the Eastern Division Champions of Area one opened play in the State American Legion Tournament being held in Morehead City Friday morning the very first game and lost 6-4 which puts them in the losers bracket.  That will put them right back on the field Saturday morning against Hickory who lost 11-3 to Wilmington.

Cary also lost in the second game 11-7 to High Point so both teams representing the Area one is in the losers bracket for Saturday.  I can't speak as to why but with Wayne County loss Friday and Rocky Mount going 0-2 the last two years in the tournament Area one  is having a hard time getting out of the losers bracket.  Cary will play the second game of the day Saturday..

Has anybody noticed this besides me.  Have you noticed when ever the lawyers for the NFLPA or NFL lawyers go into a hotel or headquarters  they all are walking.  Now I would think that these guys are all rich to some degree and could afford a limo or at least a taxi to drive them right up to the front door.  Every day we keep getting these pictures of De Smith or who ever having to weave through the media  to get to the front door.

I realize that it is part of the frenzy that makes all of them look important and the hotels that they are staying at is probably just down the street.  What ever happened to sneaking in the backdoor?

If there was ever a case of too much TV time to fill this NFL agreement takes the cake.  If you actually listened to the NFL announcement they gave a time line based in their words on the time line of the NFLPA agreeing to the terms.  Two hours later the world is falling a part all of these reporters are reporting every tweet by every player and the players are ready to sue.  Seems as if Friday after the players finally got a chance to see the entire document cooler heads prevailed.  I think Monday you can say the NFL is back
