I might actually watch at least some of this - the 2 PM - 4 PM space does not have a lot of compelling games (most of these are in the evening this Saturday, IMO), so having this opportunity to watch Peppers sort of live from my desk is perfect.

This may be the one time JMFR will be rooting against his future teammate. Can players travel home on the bye week or do they have team activities over the weekend?

Is this the future of high school athletics?  Maybe it started with in-season basketball tournaments, and began to grow with ESPN's showcasing of those hoops challenges; but it seems like big-time high school athletics is moving towards a national schedule and it impacts all sports, not just the so-called revenue-generating sports.

High school soccer, baseball, hockey, lacrosse, volleyball and tennis teams are joining the basketball and football players on long-distance treks to try to improve their image against better competition.  Even public schools are making those trips.  Check your local weekend car wash, bake sale, pancake breakfast or pasta dinner for high school students raising money for those trips.

It's no wonder that college athletes are asking to be paid more for their services.  Even in the non-revenue sports, it has become a full-time job.  Kudos to the college athletes and high school athletes who manage to maintain high academic standing while taking challenging courses.

This might be okay for the Little League World Series, when most of the participants are enjoying a break from school, but what's next?  Pee wee football games between a team from Deerfield Beach, Florida and a team from Detroit's Westside Cubs at Ford Field with Denard Robinson and Devin Gardner as honorary captains, broadcast on ESPN Pre-HS?

I know 20 years ago as a kid de la salle (California) would travel to play southern Californias top team, forgot the name. doesn't sound like much but that is an 8 hour drive to LA from northern cali. It's expanded some now, I knew a kid from de la salle, they recruited him and magically his dad got a local job to in the area.

My wife is out of town and I have nothing better to do, so I'm driving from A2 to see the game. Should be fun.



I have a sideline pass and will be trying to get some good action shots of Jabrill, JBB, and others.

I'm at the game. He's back and scored a receiving TD to start second half. He's playing DB now. 30-10 Paramus. Stuffed St Ignatius in the redzone on 4th and 19. 4:42 in 3rd. Last pass broken up by peppers.

I didn't get here until halftime so I didn't look like a total weirdo. But some guy brought an M banner and posted it up in the top row.
