SCATTERSHOOTING

*****
         FOOTBALL IS A BI- POLAR GAME . ON ALL LEVELS . ONE WEEK A TEAM LOOKS GOOD ,THE NEXT GAME THEY ARE STINKERS . NO CONSISTENCY FROM GAME TO GAME .

 ONE REASON FOR THIS IS THE SPREAD OFFENSE . YES, THE SPREAD SOMETIMES GIVES THE LESSER TEAM A CHANCE . BUT SPREAD TEAMS STRUGGLE TO HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF EXECUTION & THE INCREASE IN MISTAKES MOST OFTEN LEADS TO DEFEAT.

 THE SPREAD IS LOSING ITS ONE TIME ADVANTAGE AS DEFENSES BECOME MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE SPREAD . WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING A LOT IT GETS EASIER  TO DEAL WITH . 

 SPREAD TEAMS HAVE TROUBLE BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE SHOTGUN SNAP & MOST OFTEN WILL BEAT THEMSELVES .

*****
        THE TENNESSEE VOLS ARE IN TROUBLE . NO WAY THEY SHOULD STRUGGLE WITH AKRON . SEEMS LIKE STORMS  AHEAD FOR THE BIG ORANGE .

 TERRY BOWDEN IS IN THE DANGER ZONE . AKRON IS THE HOME OF GOODYEAR RUBBER COMPANY . IF GOODYEAR GIVES TERRY A COMPANY LOGO JACKET ,THERE WILL BE A LINE OF KIDS FIVES MILES LONG WANTING TO RIDE . THE KIDS WILL  THINK THE GOODYEAR BLIMP IS IN TOWN .

 IN THE THIRD QUARTER TERRY WAS KNOCKED OVER ON THE SIDELINE . TERRY ROCKED HIMSELF TO SLEEP BEFORE THEY COULDN'T GET HIM UP RIGHT .

 THERE USED TO BE A LOT OF HEAVY COACHES . I WAS ONE  BUT TV PUT THE FAT BOYS AT A DISADVANTAGE

*****
       ARE WE SEEING THE WINDOW CLOSE ON PEYTON MANNING ? AM I LOOKING FOR TOO MUCH FROM A 36 YEAR OLD WHO HAS NOT PLAYED IN OVER A YEAR ?

 PEYTON IS 1 - 2 , BUT HAS PLAYED THREE REALLY GOOD TEAMS . BIG P HAS LOOKED GREAT AT TIMES JUST LIKE THE DAYS OF OLD . OTHER TIMES MANNING LOOKS AS BAD AS I HAVE EVER SEEN HIM .

 WILL PEYTON SHAKE THE RUST AS THE GAMES GO ON OR DO YOU GET BETTER AT 36 ?

*****
         I THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT LELAND SMITH YESTERDAY . I THINK ABOUT LELAND MOST EVERY DAY  BUT IT WAS YESTERDAY 19 YEARS AGO HE LEFT US .

 THE BIG SAMURAI WAS ONE OF A KIND .  I THINK I KNOW WHAT HE WOULD SAY ABOUT THE GAME TODAY .  IN THE WORDS OF HERACLITUS " YOU CAN'T STEP IN THE SAME RIVER TWICE "

*****
        SEC COACHES ALREADY IN TROUBLE !  JOKER PHILLIPS , JAMES FRANKLIN , DEREK DOOLEY , GENE CHIZEK , AND JOHN L. SMITH !

 THE CHANCE THAT ALL THESE BOYS WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THE DEEP - DOO  IS ALMOST NIL .

*****
        OL' CHILI PEPPER IS CUTER THAN A TRUCKLOAD OF BABY DUCKS .  I LOVE THAT GIRL SO MUCH .

TURN THE WORLD UP-SIDE DOWN

**** HIGH SCHOOL 

 TWO WEST TENNESSEE HIGH SCHOOLS SHOCKED THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL LAST WEEK . THE SOUTH GIBSON AKA MEDINA HORNETS BEAT MIGHTY MILAN . THE BULLDOGS ARE THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN IN WEST TENNESSEE FOOTBALL . FOUR STATE TITLES AND FOUR RUNNER-UPS ATTEST TO THE KING .

 THE HORNETS IN ONLY THEIR SECOND YEAR OF EXISTENCE BEAT THE DAWGS . SO NOW MILAN FACES A REBELLION IN THEIR FOOTBALL KINGDOM FROM ONLY EIGHT MILES AWAY . 

 ON THE SAME NIGHT POOR RELATION WEST CARROLL WHIPPED HUNTINGTON FOR THE FIRST TIME . THE NEVER - DO - WELL WAR EAGLES POPPED THE UPPITY MUSTANGS PRETTY GOOD .  

 IS THE SOCIAL ORDER AS BOBBY D USED TO SING THE TIMES ARE A - CHANGING ?

OLIVE  BRANCH IS VERY GOOD . MUS DID BEAT THEMSELVES BUT OB IS GOOD . THEY ARE A SIMPLE SPREAD TEAM WITH GREAT SPEED . 

 WHAT MAKES THE BRANCH SO TOUGH IS THEIR CONTROL OF THE MEMPHIS RECRUITING AREA . LIKE THIS YEAR OB NEEDED A QB SO THEY GOT ONE FROM AS FAR NORTH AS POSSIBLE IN THEIR OFFICIAL MEMPHIS RECRUITING TERRITORY.  HOW GOOD WOULD OB BE WITHOUT SAM CRAFT ?

**** COLLEGE

 TENNESSEE IS BACK IN THE REAL WORLD . THE GATOR SPEED BURNED THE VOLS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER . DREAMS OF 8 OR 9 WINS HAVE DIED & 7 SEEMS IFFY . THE LITTLE DOOLEY BOY MAY  NEED TO CHECK THE WANT ADS .

THE ARKANSAS DREAM SEASON HAS TURNED INTO A HAWG NIGHTMARE . COACH FIRED, UPSET LOSS . QB HURT , MONSTER BUTT - WHUPPING  . THE HAWGS ARE ASKING " WHAT IS HOUSTON NUTT DOING NOW ?"

HUGH FREEZE HAS NOT MADE THE MISTAKE OF PLAYING TEAMS WITH BETTER PLAYERS VERY OFTEN IN HIS CAREER . HE DID WITH TEXAS . FREEZE BETTER RE- READ THE CHAPTER IN THE BENNY HINN BOOK BUILDING A PROGRAM BY SCHEDULING.

OH. I FORGOT HUGH IS IN THE SEC NOW AND CAN'T DO MUCH ABOUT THAT SCHEDULE . DON'T WORRY HUGH , I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WILL SCORE  MORE THAN 66 . I DOUBT THAT MORE THAN ONE OR TWO WILL EVEN GET 50 .  

 WILL MEMPHIS EVER LEARN IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO THE COACH IS OR WHERE YOU PLAY ? 

 IT IS ALL ABOUT THE PLAYERS STUPID . THE TIGERS MUST GET BETTER PLAYERS TO EVER IMPROVE . YOU CAN'T COACH THEM TO BE BIGGER OR RUN FASTER . YOU HAVE TO FIND THOSE THAT CAN .  MEMPHIS MAKES THE SAME ERRORS OVER AND OVER . LIKE A MAN ON A MERRY GO  AROUND WHO KEEPS WONDERING WHY HE KEEPS COMING  TO THE SAME PLACE AGAIN AND AGAIN.  

**** NFL 

 THE COWBOYS STINK . I AM TIRED OF WAITING . THE BLAME FALLS ON YOU JERRY JONES . NOT GARRETT OR ROMO  OR ANY OF THOSE OTHER STOOGES . 

 JERRY , PRODUCE OR GET OFF THE POT . IF YOU CAN'T DO IT GIVE SOMEONE ELSE THE SEAT .

 JJ , IT WAS BEEN 16 SUPER BOWLS SINCE THE COWBOYS WERE RIDING HIGH . THE CAP STOPPED YOU FROM JUST BUYING A WINNER . 

 I THINK YOU NEED TO FIRE SOMEBODY ,NAMELY JERRY JONES .

TILL NEXT TIME!!!!!!!!1

THE NFL & THE SEC

***** I LOVE THE NFL & THE SEC . THAT IS ALL THE TEAMS I CAN PROCESS. SOMETIMES A HOT TEAM WILL CATCH MY INTEREST BUT FOR THE MOST PART I CLOSELY FOLLOW THE NFL & THE SEC .

THE FIRST REPORT CARD IS HERE :

 THE ONLY A IS ALABAMA . THE TIDE DOMINATES BOTH LINES OF SCRIMMAGE . LITTLE NICKY & THE TIDE MAY BLOW THOUGH WITH OUT BEING TESTED . BAMA WILL WIN AT LEAST 11 GAMES THIS YEAR .

 TEAMS RECEIVING B'S ARE LSU, STATE, GEORGIA, TENNESSEE & USC . THESE TEAMS HAVE WON TWO GAMES BUT NOT LOOKED GOOD DOING IT .

LSU GETS LES MILES OUT OF THEIR TALENT THAN ANYONE .  HUMPTY DAN & STATE ARE DEPENDING ON TYLER RUSSELL .

 GEORGIA IS LUCKY TO BE 2 - 0 . THEY ARE SO UP & DOWN & DON'T PLAY SMART .THE VOLS HAVE LOOKED BETTER BUT ONE THE THE WINS WAS OVER A RINKY - DINK .

 THE CAROLINA FIGHTIN CHICKENS ARE NOT AS NASTY AS THEY SHOULD BE . NO WAY CAROLINA WILL WIN 10 .

 GETTING A BIG C ARE OLE MISS, FLORIDA, & MIZZOU . THE TIGERS FROM THE NORTHWEST TALK A BETTER GAME THAN THEY PLAY . BOTH NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK GOT A BUTT - WHUPPIN TO WELCOME THEM .

 OLE MISS & FLORIDA HAVE WON TWO BUT NOT PLAYED GREAT . TENNESSEE & THE GATORS PLAY THIS WEEK IN A FORK IN THE ROAD GAME .

 IN LINE FOR D'S  ARE AUBURN ,ARKANSAS, VANDY, KENTUCKY  AND A&M .IT DID NOT TAKE LONG FOR THE BAD JOHN L. TO SHOW UP  . HAWG DREAMS ENDED EARLY & NOW IT IS BAMA TIME .

 THIS WEEK CALL THE HOGS ALL YOU WANT BUT I DON'T THINK THEY ARE COMING .

 THE NFL

EIGHT NFL TEAMS LOOKED BETTER THAN AVERAGE WHILE FIVE LOOKED WORSE THAN AVERAGE .

 TOPPING THE AVERAGE STANDARD WERE THE PATRIOTS, RAVENS,TEXANS,BRONCOS,COWBOYS, REDSKINS,FALCONS ,& 49ERS .

 THE COWBOYS & THE REDSKINS WERE SURPRISE WINNERS , THE BRONCOS  HAD A FAST START OVER THE STEELERS . THE 49ERS LOOKED THE BEST OF ALL IN WEEK ONE

 STUMBLING OUT OF THE GATE WERE THE GIANTS,TITANS,CHIEFS, SAINTS,& THE SEAHAWKS .

 EARLY THINKING WAS THAT PETER PREP SCHOOL WOULD WIN THE BATTLE IN SEATTLE , BUT THE HAWKS COULDN'T GET PAST ZONA .

 THE SAINTS HAVE HAD TOO MUCH MESS TO DEAL WITH  & IT SHOWED . THE BIG EASY BOYS MAY HAVE SLAMMED THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY ON  THEIR  FINGERS .

 WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CHIEFS ? A POOR START FOR A TALENTED GROUP . THE TITANS ARE NOT ON THE SAME PAGE . ELI SEEMS TO BE LOST IN THE FOG AS MOST GRADUATES OF OLE MISS ARE  .

 WELL I HOPE ALL YOUR TEAMS WIN THIS WEEK !!!!!

A HIGH SCHOOL PREDICTION : MUS OVER OLIVE BRANCH . OB DIDN'T BRING IN ENOUGH PLAYERS TO KEEP UP LAST YEAR'S PACE .

 A CAPABLE GROUP OF PEE-WEE COACHES SHOULD WIN THE STATE WITH WHITEHAVEN . THE TIGERS COULD WIN IT ALL WITH JUST A LITTLE HELP FROM THE SIDELINE .

LOOKING BACK

***** LOOKING IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR OF OPENING WEEK OF FOOTBALL IS REVEALING . SOME TEAMS ARE BETTER THAN WE THOUGHT , SOME NOT AS GOOD AS ADVERTISED .

 WHICH IS THE TOUGHEST LOSS ? PENN STATE OR MEMPHIS . BOTH SCHOOLS HAVE A HARDER ROW TO HOE THAN EXPECTED .

 ALABAMA LOOKS READY FOR ANOTHER TITLE RUN ,. ROLL TIDE IS ALREADY ABOVE FLOOD STAGE . THE TIDE DOMINATES ON BOTH OFFENSIVE & DEFENSIVE LINE PLAY .

 BAMA'S STEADY UNDER CONTROL OFFENSE DOES NOT PUT  THEM IN BAD POSITION . BAMA WON'T BEAT THEMSELVES .

 TENNESSEE LOOKED A LOT BETTER THAN I ANTICIPATED . COURSE I WASN'T EXPECTING MUCH . I THOUGHT THE VOLS WOULD BE LUCKY TO WIN FOUR . NOW I THINK THE BIG ORANGE COULD SQUEEZE OUT SEVEN WINS . MAYBE EVEN SAVE THE LITTLE DOOLEY BOY'S JOB .

 OKLAHOMA STATE & OREGON WERE AS STOUT AS A DIP OF LEVI GARRETT ON A COLD MORNING .

 I FELT THE CAROLINA GAMECOCKS WERE A BIG LET DOWN . LATTIMOORE  IS ABOUT 75 % OF WHAT HE USED TO BE . THE DEFENSE IS NOT DOMINATING & THE QB PLAY IS BARELY ABOVE AVERAGE .

 I AM AFRAID THE STATE BULLDOGS ARE MARCHING TOWARD DISASTER .HAVING A PASS HAPPY OFFENSE WITH TYLER RUSSELL AS THE TRIGGERMAN  IS AS BIG A MISTAKE AS WHEN CUSTER SAID THEY LOOK LIKE FRIENDLY INDIANS . HUMPTY DAN COULD DRIVE THE BUS OFF THE LEVEE THIS FALL

  THE GEORGIA DAWGS WERE A TAD SHY OF SCINTILLATING. GEORGIA SEEMS TO BE WANDERING AROUND A BIT .

 I THINK THE LSU TIGERS ARE REMARKABLE WHEN YOU CONSIDER LES MILES IS THE COACH . LES COULD NOT COACH A HOG TO WATER . THE FAMOUS COACH UNDERFALL AT MEDINA WAS BETTER THAN LES .

 COURSE TO BE FAIR OLD UNDERFALL WAS NOT TOO BAD WHEN HE WAS AWAKE . COACH HAD A HABIT OF NODDING OFF ON THE BENCH .

 VANDY HAS NARROWED THE GAP . THE DORES ARE MUCH BETTER BUT NOT QUIET AROUND THE BEND . VANDY IS STILL A BIT LIGHT ON GREAT ATHLETES AND STUNNING GIRLS . ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL AIRHEADS ARE AT FLORIDA & OLE MISS .

 THOSE HONEYS DO GOOD TO PASS GAS , THEY SURE CAN'T DO THE WORK AT VANDY .  I BET THERE AREN'T FIVE PAIR OF GLASSES AMONG THEM .

 BUT VANDY IS GETTING BETTER . REMEMBER JAMES FRANKLIN PROMISED ; NO UGLY COACHES 'WIFES .

 THAT HUGH FREEZE IS A BIG TIME IN - TO  - MANURE . THE OXFORD FOLKS WILL HAVE A BIGGER DIG OUT THAN A BUFFALO SNOW STORM.

DEFEND THE SPREAD

***** I WATCHED A LOT OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL THIS PAST WEEK . FROM COAST TO COAST ,BORDER TO BORDER HIGH SCHOOLS ARE IN THE SPREAD OFFENSE .ABOUT 85% ARE SPREAD OFFENSES .

 WHY IS THIS ? COACHES HAVE A POWERFUL HERD MENTALITY . IF A TEAM HAS SUCCESS WITH A SCHEME OTHERS FLOCK TO FOLLOW .

 THE SPREAD IS A SIMPLE SCHEME . PUT YOUR BEST ATHLETE FIVE TO SEVEN YARDS DEEP TAKING THE SNAP WITH THE OPTION TO RUN OR THROW . THE OTHER FIVE ELIGIBLE PLAYERS CAN LINE UP IN MULTIPLE PLACES WITH ALL KINDS OF MOTIONS AND SHIFTS.

 ALL OF THIS MOVEMENT IS CONFUSING TO THE DEFENSE & MAKES IT HARD TO GET LINED UP IN THE RIGHT PLACE . IT CAUSES DOUBT AS TO WHO IS COVERING WHAT . A CONFUSED DEFENSE CANNOT BE AGGRESSIVE.

  SO TO BE A GOOD SPREAD TEAM , YOU NEED A DUAL THREAT QB & RECEIVERS WHO CAN BEAT ONE ON ONE COVERAGE . A DOMINATING   OFFENSIVE LINE IS A PLUS BUT NOT NECESSARY .

 IN THE EARLY DAYS THE SPREAD HAD THE ADVANTAGE OF SURPRISE & UNFAMILIARITY  . YOU DIDN'T SEE IT MUCH . MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR . NOW YOU PLAY AGAINST THE SPREAD EVERY WEEK . THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE IS GONE & TEAMS ARE FAMILIAR ENOUGH WITH THE SPREAD TO DUPLICATE THE OFFENSE IN PRACTICE .  

   HOW DO YOU DEFEND THE SPREAD ? FIRST DETERMINE IS THE QB A DUAL THREAT . MOST NFL TEAMS,THE QB IS NOT A DUAL THREAT .THE SPREAD IS LIMITED TO A THIRD DOWN OFFENSE  IN THE LEAGUE.

 NEXT , CAN YOU COVER THE WIDE - OUT ONE ON ONE ? THE ANSWER WILL DICTATE  THE COVERAGE USED . 

 THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF DEFENSE IN HIGH SCHOOL IS THE FIELD ITSELF . THE HIGHER LEVEL OF FOOTBALL YOU PLAY , THE CLOSER THE HASH MARKS .

 IN HIGH SCHOOL THERE IS A DEFINED WIDE SIDE AND SHORT SIDE .

 THE KEY TO DEFENSING THE SPREAD IS TO OVERLOAD YOUR DEFENSE TO THE WIDE SIDE OF THE FIELD . THIS FORCES THE OFFENSE TO WORK IN A RESTRICTED AREA .

 ALSO FIELD ALIGNMENT ELIMINATES THE CONFUSION CAUSED BY OFFENSIVE MOVEMENT . THERE IS NO QUESTION AS TO HOW TO LINE UP  & DEFENDERS ARE FREE TO BE VERY AGGRESSIVE .

 I THINK FIELD ALIGNMENT IS THE ANSWER TO DEFENDING THE SPREAD IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL . YOU HAVE FORCED THE SPREAD INTO TWO TOUGH CHOICES ; ATTACK THE OVERLOAD OR ATTACK A RESTRICTED AREA .   ALSO THE DEFENSE IS MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE DUE TO THE LACK OF CONFUSION .

BUDDY & ME

***** RIGHT AT TEN YEARS AGO CHILI PEPPER CAME HOME WITH A PUPPY . HE WAS A BLACK & WHITE PA-PILLION WEIGHTING FOUR POUNDS . 

 CHILI PEPPER SAID SHE JUST LOVED HIM ,HE  HAD SO MUCH PERSONALITY . SHE SAID SHE HOPED WE COULD KEEP HIM .

 BUDDY DISPLAYED HIS REMARKABLE INTELLIGENCE BY KNOWING HE HAD TO GET IN GOOD WITH THE FAT GUY IN THE LEATHER CHAIR . BUD MANAGED THIS BY CRAWLING ON MY SHOULDER & GOING TO SLEEP . 

 THIS WAS THE START OF OUR TIME WITH BUDDY . BUDDY IS THE MOST STRONG WILLED DOG EVER . CHILI PEPPER HAS SOME CONTROL BUT BUDDY CALLS THE SHOTS WITH POP-POP.

 IF ONE OF US IS SITTING BUDDY WILL BE IN OUR LAP . WHEN WE GO TO BED BUDDY DOES TOO . RIGHT BETWEEN US AS TIGHT AS HE CAN SNUGGLE UP . YOU BETTER GO TO BED ON TIME ALSO .  

 I DON'T RECALL BUDDY SPENDING A NIGHT APART FROM BOTH OF US . HE. HAS BEEN WITH US ON MOST TRIPS WE HAVE MADE .

 SINCE I HAVE HAD HEALTH PROBLEMS ,BUD & I ARE TOGETHER 24/7 . BUDDY HAS BEEN A LOT OF LOVE & COMPANY FOR ME .

 BUDDY WILL BE 10 YEARS OLD IN A FEW WEEKS, HE IS UP TO TEN POUNDS NOW . HE IS STILL AS SOFT AS HE WAS AS A PUPPY .

 I CAN TELL BUDDY IS REALLY SLOWING DOWN AS TIME GOES BY. MANY DAYS I WONDER WHO WILL REACH THE FINISH LINE FIRST, ME OR BUDDY .

  I AM GLAD BUDDY CAME TO LIVE WITH US .BUDDY IS BOTH LOVED & LOVES .

***** HARASSMENT & BULLY BEHAVIOR IS REPORTED IN AREA FOOTBALL TEAMS . THIS HAS GONE ON FOREVER . I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF TEAMS & GROUPS THAT HARASSED . 
 HARASSMENT IN MY DAY WAS NOT AS BAD AS THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING TODAY. BUT THEY WERE NOT HARMLESS . 

 HUMILIATION DOES NOT MAKE ONE FEEL LIKE ONE OF THE GROUP . TEAM SPIRIT IS NOT DEVELOPED BY BULLY BEHAVIOR . IT ONLY DIVIDES .

 THE BEST POLICY IS NO HARASSMENT OF ANY KIND . IF YOU CAN'T RESPECT YOUR TEAMMATES THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE PART OF THE TEAM .

THANKS FOR READING !!!!!!!!!!!!! 

HERE & THERE

***** THE OLYMPICS HAVE COME & GONE . THERE WERE GREAT STORIES OF TRIUMPH & MANY STORIES OF HEARTBREAK.

 IT IS HARD TO CONCEIVE HOW MUCH THESE ATHLETES HAVE WORKED  OR THE COST THEY HAVE PAID . THEIR EVENT IS THEIR ENTIRE LIFE . IF YOU GAVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT YOU HAVE TO BE SATISFIED .

 JUST FRACTIONS OF SECONDS SEPARATE FIRST PLACE FROM LAST PLACE . IT IS AMAZING WHAT THE HUMAN BODY CAN ACHIEVE . DO YOU THINK ANYONE WILL EVER RUN FASTER THAN BOLT ?   

 HATS OFF TO ALL THE ATHLETES FOR THEIR WONDERFUL EFFORT . EVEN MY CRAZY FRIEND JOE DON LOONEY REALIZED IT IS THE EFFORT NOT THE RESULT WHICH MATTERS .

 A MOMENT FROM THE OPENING CEREMONY STICKS IN MY MIND . THE TEAMS FROM ISRAEL & IRAN MARCHED IN ONE IN FRONT OF THE OTHER. TO HAVE THOSE TWO THAT CLOSE & NOT HAVE A MAJOR THROWDOWN IS A MIRACLE.

***** ANOTHER MAJOR HAS PASSED & TIGER FADED AGAIN . I THOUGHT THE TIGER MAN MIGHT MAKE ME EAT MY WORDS . WOODS IS NOT THE SAME GOLFER HE WAS . THE FIELD HAS CAUGHT UP .

 THE LAST 16 MAJORS WON BY A DIFFERENT GOLFER . NO TWO IN A ROW FOR ANYONE . RORY MCKELLROY  SEEMS TO BE THE MAN TO BEAT THESE DAYS . RORY IS NOT THE MOST CONSISTENT PLAYER . HE IS CAPABLE OF GREAT ROUNDS & HORRIBLE ROUNDS .

***** FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE AGAIN . I LOVE IT FROM THE NFL  TO HIGH SCHOOL . I FOLLOW THE SEC INTENTLY IN THE COLLEGE GAME . I HAVE SEVERAL NFL TEAMS I LIKE .THERE ALL HIGH SCHOOLS SCATTERED NATION WIDE THAT I KEEP TABS ON .  I JUST LOVE FOOTBALL

 BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED  ABOUT HEAD INJURIES . I CAN SEE THIS BEING THE END OF FOOTBALL AS WE KNOW IT .

 PARENTS WILL BE AFRAID TO LET THE LITTLE ONES PLAY , & THE SPORT WILL DIE ON THE VINE . MAYBE I AM OVER-REACTING BUT I AM CONCERNED.

 BIG QUESTIONS THIS YEAR ARE ; HOW WILL PEYTON DO IN DENVER ? WILL THE SAINTS SURVIVE THE MESS THEY ARE IN ?

 WILL THE STATE OF ALABAMA WIN 4 NC'S IN A ROW ? SINCE LSU LOST A SUPERSTAR & ARKANSAS LOST A COACH , BAMA SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE .

 IS SOUTH PANOLA ON THE DOWNSLIDE ? WILL WHITEHAVEN GET THE MOST OUT OF THEIR TALENT ? WHO WILL OLIVE BRANCH BRING IN THIS YEAR ?
