Good morning. It's Friday, May 20. It appears that the National Football League is moving its Pro Bowl all-star game to Orlando. Researchers have confirmed that three Nile crocodiles were captured near Miami, and they say it's possible more of the man-eating reptiles are still out there, although no one can say for sure.

See photos of things to do in Orlando this weekend. Here's what else is happening in Central Florida. Have a great weekend.
