Tommy Mattocks’ site

Here’s an interesting site for you guys to check out: Tommy Mattocks’ referee site. Tommy, as most of you know, was a superstar athlete at the old Grainger High School before going on to N.C. State, where he was also a star basketball player.

Now, he’s the booking agent for basketball for this little piece of heaven. He’s also umpired/refereed in three separate NCHSAA sports, making one of only a handful of men who have accomplished the feat.

Check out his site. It’s definitely interesting, especially on the EOA page where he discusses how to make calls.

Making your picks

If you’re confused about where to make your picks this week, go to the categories list on your right —–> and go to picks and then Week 3. We’ve had a lot of posts this week, pushing the picks to the next page.

Richard Clark’s take on the Kass situation

Free Press Sports Writer Richard Clark wrote his column this week on the Kass situation at ECU. Check it out here and tell me what you think about what he wrote.

Let me reiterate my stance here: I was a little shocked that it was only for the first week, although a couple of you have made a great point that it could end up being extended.

But here’s where I differ from some of you — I trust Skip Holtz and his judgment. You and I haven’t been around this kid while Skip and his coaches have been around them a lot. The coaches know those kids better than you and I ever will. If they felt he needed more punishment, they would dole it out.

So, I’ll leave it to the experts — Skip Holtz and his coaches.

HBFL to your right

Thanks to a great suggestion from Deep Run, I’ve placed the ongoing draft and analysis of the HBFL to the pages on your right. If you’re interested in keeping up with our draft (and why wouldn’t you be?), you can go there. Thanks, Deep Run!

HBFL Round Three

25. Deep Run Tar Heels — D. McNabb, QB, Phi (A little too early, but I understand that with a wrap-around pick like this, he wanted a QB)

26. Tobbaco Road Tigers — T. Owens, WR, Dal (Tap’s first solid pick. Owens should have a good year for the Boys)

27. Free Press Predators — S. Smith, WR Car (OK, I’m a homer, but this is an excellent pick; Smith is projected as an early second-rounder to late second-rounder and I got him this late. Helps make up for my screwed-up Ronnie Brown pick)

28. Screaming Seahawks — C. Benson, RB, Chi (A solid third-round pick of perhaps the most underrated fantasy player of the year. Benson will end up being a top-8 RB this year)

29. Henderson Gunners — M. Lynch, RB, Buf (At first blush, seems to be a reach pick, but we know what his predecessors have done in Buffalo; third straight player for Randy who has a bye week in Week 6)

30. Tom Sheehey All Stars — T. Holt, WR, StL (A steal at No. 30. With Henry and Addai, Sheehey is building a powerhouse)

31. Gridiron Gladiators — M. Bulger, QB, StL (Six QBs taken in the first three and a half rounds? Sheesh. Leave some for the rest of us!)

32. Exlax Induced Bowel Explosion — R. Williams, WR, Det (RB, RB, WR — typical Drew Loftis. This is just about exactly where I had Williams slotted)

33. GC Rams — A. Gates, TE, SD (After waiting two hours, GC Rams lucks out and gets a great pick. Chalk one up for fanball)

34. Pawtucket Pot Roasts — L. Fitzgerald, WR, Ari (Another great selection. The Pot Roasts and Sheehey have the early lead for the “great draft” award)

35. Jeter drinks wine coolers — L. Evans, WR, Buf (Not a bad pick, especially since the Bills will be behind most of the season)

36. + ARod drinks ’em with a straw — A. Boldin, Ari (Surprised GZino didn’t go RB here, but Boldin is not a bad pick at this spot)

Video from KHS-SL game on Aug. 24

It took a little bit longer to get this up than I wanted to, but here is my video from last Friday’s Kinston-South Lenoir football game.

Remember, I’m a writer (and some would say not a GREAT writer), not a video-dude.

If Salem wins the second half or if it finishes in a tie, Salem gets Game 1 of the series with Kinston getting Game 2 and 3 (if necessary). Here’s the sked, courtesy Chris Hemeyer of the K-Tribe…

Illegitimate kids of athletes

This is as fun as it is disturbing. This blogger has worked pretty hard to put together this list of pro athletes and their illegitimate children.

Wow. Calvin Murphy had 14 illegitimate kids with nine women? Travis Henry of the Denver Broncos has nine by nine women? You have to check out this site.
