NFL Week Three

Gryphons Football game with Hoke County has been moved to Thursday Night @ 6:30 due to the pending rain moving up the coast.  Rain is in the forecast for Wednesday night-Thursday and Friday and if game is rained out Thursday it will be moved to Monday.

Is it possible that New England has beaten everyone in the AFC East so much over the last 15 years that all the AFC east  teams are intimidated by New England?  If you have been with me over the years I have told the intimidation story back when I was doing play by play while it was still called Ahoskie High. 

Sitting in the press box in Roanoke Rapids some time around 1980 and RR had one of their best starts in history 5-0.  There was a stretch where Ahoskie wore out Roanoke Rapids every year and Ahoskie was coming off a 2nd place finish in the state in 1979 and were 4-1 in 1980.  I was sitting beside the RR radio  play by play man and we were both in commercials just before kickoff.  One of the RR coaches heading to the top of the  press box to go on top to call plays started up the ladder  and the RR's play by play man asked the coach "How we going to do tonight coach?.  We are so tight, we think the Green Bay Packers are here.  Ahoskie won 47-0.  I think the AFC East teams all think New England is the Green Bay Packers!

Todd Gurley was not on the St Louis playing roster Sunday after all.  He worked out on the field before the game like all 53 men do that are part of the 53 man roster but was not put on the game day roster.  Word from coach Fisher  is they will look again next week.  If bet he plays because they  play at home and the running game sucked at Washington.

Thursday Night football starts with the NFC East battle. Had worse week ever picking games.  Went 4-12 running my two week total to 13-19.  Looks like We need new picker.  Embarrassing !
