Gurley Gets Paid

Tarboro High and University  of Georgia running back Todd Gurley on Friday became a professional football player when his signed his contract with the St Louis Rams.  Gurley the 10th pick during the NFL draft is still recovering from knee surgery  that he had after a knee injury Last football season. The Rams announced that they would in no way push Gurley until he is fully recovered from his surgery.  They do however believe that Gurley will be 100 per cent by training camp.

Major League Baseball with approval of the players association has allotted each major league team  certain amounts of money to sign their draft  picks.  2015 Tampa Bay's figure is near six and a half million dollars.  In most cases the top draft picks  Will get the bulk of the money.  It is very obvious going back to Carolina for one more year might bring  a nice bonus Benton Moss' way as he signs a baseball contract with Tampa.

If you figure the top pick gets at least a million of that 6.5 million  that Tampa has to spend on all their rookies then you would assume the sixth pick Benton Moss  will be able to get a nice sum of money for saying yes  and where do you want me to sign?

SouthWest Edgecombe  two time state champion golfer Cole Jefferys was featured on the last of the year features on WRAL sports with Tom Suitor "Extra Effort Award".  Cole was third in his class of the graduating seniors at SouthWest.

I find it very hard to watch soccer on TV.   Had a very hard time getting into a 0-0 game as the USA played Sweden .  Daughter Morgan who will be a rising senior at Campbell University is majoring in Sports Marketing.  Home for the summer she has worked for the City of Rocky Mount for the last three summers  in the Parks and Rec Department down town.   She has moonlighted on Home Saturday nights for the Carolina RailHawks in the ticket offices.  Trying to get all the Resume' name droppers possible when those job resume's go out next year at this time.
