Coaches Pick Fike

This morning the Big  East held media day and the main attraction is the football coaches being interviewed by local media and then the coaches vote on who they think will win in football.  The coaches voted for Fike as the top team followed by Hunt.  Three through five were Northern Nash, Southern Nash and Rocky Mount.  Nash Central was voted to finish last.  Tuesday night both Rocky Mount and Nash Central will be holding Srimmages before the big one Thursday night.

Tonight Florida is playing the host team from Asheboro in the final game at the southeast regional of the American Legion playoffs in Asheboro.  Asheboro has made a mess for everyone in this tournament  by beating everyone they were suppose to lose to, In fact the one undefeated team Asheboro beat them last night to give them their first loss but Florida by virtue of being the last unbeaten had already qualified to play in the finals.

This afternoon Asheboro beat South Carolina who had lost to Florida in the winners bracket showdown game and as we speak Asheboro  is playing Florida with the winner heading to the American  Legion World Series in Shelby later  this month.

This weekend racing In a local track in upstate New York Tony Stewart  bumped a local racer into the wall and as all racers do the racer  jumps out of his car and while running towards Stewart's car points his finger at Stewart's  and he somehow runs  over and killed the driver that he spun out.

The media has already sentenced Stewart to death as most are accusing him of murder. I would advise all since we only know what we have seen from a couple of clips that none of us know what Stewart saw and we should not convict until all the facts are in.

My Grandma told me that only believe  three quarters  of what see and only believe half of what hear.  So when you add up what you saw and what you heard only believe two thirds of what you see and hear. In the case of this tragic death of a race driver let 's let all the fact come out.

Finally are the rumblings about the 18th hole of the PGA finish Sunday letting the final two groups play the final hole together almost.  Me as a spectator sitting home I wanted to see a champion last night and I got it.  I didn't have to go on line Monday morning to find out who won.  If the PGA officials could have done better was maybe play threesomes starting so late in the afternoon after the heavy rains.  Here is one other villian in this deal.  How much pressure did TV put on the PGA officials to finish Sunday night. You know CBS didn't want to let the Golf Channel show the last hole Monday morning.
