PACKERS WIN A WILD ONE

The Green Bay Packers opened the 2011 season last night with a 42-34 win over the New Orleans Saints in a game which both defenses couldn't stop each other until the Packers made a goal line stand with no time on the clock from the 1 yard line.  The Packers were hit with an interference penalty on the final play of the game so the ball was placed on the 1 yard line and the Saints tried to run it in and were stopped stone by the Packer defense preserving the win, next week the Packers will travel to Carolina.  The Colonial Heights football team has the week off while at the beach Manteo travels to First Flight.  I will be heading down to Greenville, NC tomorrow to watch the East Carolina vs Virginia game, it should be a pretty will atmosphere down there as Pirates will be looking to upset the Hokies.  The Nascar Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series will be here in the capital city of Richmond this weekend and are hoping that all the rain we have all this weeks stops so they can get the races in.  MICKEY
