Standings after Week 4

What a week by Eastern, who not only went 14-1 — three games better than anyone else — but took over first place in our little contest by three games. Eastern leads the trio of Heelatious, Jourbet and three-time defending champ JWade by three games and the trio of me, Jagshouse (last week’s leader) and COliver by four games.

Eastern’s only miss was the Ayden-Grifton/Greene Central game, but he shouldn’t feel bad about that. Only one of 42 entries got it right — ENCMetalhead.

Again, mucho thanks to my tremendous, terrific, tantalizing, teddy bear-loving girlfriend for her help in putting this together.

Morning News Report; Sept. 12, 2008

PALIN APPEARS IN FIRST ON-AIR INTERVIEW

Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin talked to ABC’s Charlie Gibson in interviews aired by the network on the nightly news and Nightline last night. She said she’s ready to lead the nation, if called upon, and seriously called out Russia a couple of times.

My take: To a degree, she’s media-savvy, I’ll give you that. But call me an idiot — and I know many of you will — but I don’t know how ready I am to hand over the keys to our nuclear arsenal to someone who was a mayor of a town of 9,000 just two years ago. Especially someone who hasn’t had any foreign policy experience.

And no, I’m not assuming John McCain is going to die soon — I hope he lives to be 100! — but you know the possibility is there.

Let me say for the 1,000th time — couldn’t we have better presidential and vice-presidential candidates than the four we have today?

PHELPS READY TO HOST SNL

He can swim, but can he be funny? Olympic mega-star Michael Phelps will host Saturday Night Live tomorrow in the season-opener for the series, which is beginning its 34th year on NBC.

My take: Something tells me this is going to STINK. He’s wooden in his interviews; how’s he going to miraculously be better in live sketches?

Let’s hope Phelps is half as funny as this:

IT’S ON! 45TH ANNUAL PIGSKIN CLASSIC IS TONIGHT

North Lenoir and South Lenoir face each other tonight for the 45th time in a game that I think is going to be memorable.  It’s not the only good game, though, as undefeated West Craven and unbeaten Kinston play, Ayden-Grifton visits Greene Central and Jones Senior welcomes Southern Wayne.

My take: This might be one of the best Football Friday Nights of the year. It’s supposed to be a nice night, too, so get out there and support our kids!

My take: I spoke to two sports marketing classes at South Lenoir today and was asked who I thought would win the game. Yes, I took some heat when I said “North Lenoir.” You’ll get my official prediction in Friday’s paper.

By the way — thanks to the kids in both of Sue Novicki’s classes for some outstanding questions and a really good time. Janet Sutton and I both enjoyed our time there immensely.
