Going all the way back to Eddie Belfour, I head into every Dallas Stars playoff series believing the goalie is world class and will steal at least one game.

Has anyone else gone so deep into the jungle of fantasy football that they draft best ball teams? The Football Diehards hosts on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports got me into them. I'm on draft number six.

That 130-point prop is going to be retired after these playoffs. No teams are hitting it.

LeBron turns 40 next season and there's still talk about where he'll go to lead a team to a title. By that age Michael Jordan was going through the motions playing on a bad Washington Wizards team and taking on a sixth man role because his body couldn't handle a full regular season.

There was a split in the NBA Playoff Pickem between the Pacers and Bucks, with three players choosing Milwaukee to advance. This is the second first-round exit in a row for Milwaukee, which is Algonquin for "the good land."

The Oilers beating the Kings was good news in the NHL Playoff Pickem to everybody but Geneparmesan.

Everybody in the NBA Playoff Pickem had the Celtics winning over the Heat and three of us said it would take 5 games.

Deion is spending his offseason needling former players on social media.
The funniest thing about driving off so many players last year is that Deion brought his star quarterback son with him and then caused the entire offensive line to transfer out. Not funny to his son I'd imagine.

Absolute insanity. But I guess if Penix continues to be injury prone they'll be have another quarterback who's already earning starter's money so they won't have to renegotiate with him?

Winnipeg and Colorado both hit the six goal prop in game 1's 7-6 Jets victory. This outcome helped no one in the pickem.

IF allowed, I'd like to change my 'top 3 goalscorer' from Nylander to Bertuzzi, if not, Willy it is!!!
Go ahead and change it.

I just noticed that on the link, the last prop is a team that gives up zero goals, but here it shows Game 1 winner.
Fixed. Thanks!

The Mavericks lost one game more than the Clippers this season and they have identical 25-16 home records. One outscored opponents by 2.3 points a game, the other 3.3. Going with Dallas here because I was born 3 miles from the American Airlines Center.
The TBDs will become actual teams on the form tonight.

I hope I'm wrong about the Maple Leafs having another exit at the hands of the Bruins. The battle of Florida will be fun. I keep going back and forth on that pick, so I'm expecting that series to go the distance. The Stars caught a rough matchup in round one. Might as well figure out quickly if Dallas is the real deal. Oetty and all those scorers will take down Vegas. When are we going to be able to pick the Red Wings again in this contest? Hockeytown is in an eight-year playoff drought after a 25-year playoff streak.

Clay Travis and a bunch of other dopes think Mulkey is doing something new here.
Attacking the media ahead of the publication of a negative story is as old as the printing press. She dodged the Washington Post for two years and now wants to bitch because she got a dozen questions with two days to respond?
Looking forward to her date with accountability.

I thought Sean Payton would turn Russell Wilson into another Drew Brees. Instead I find myself wondering if Wilson will start anywhere in 2024.
Elway turning down that offer is amazing. How could he not see the value of an NFL ownership stake that huge?

It is a shame to see the ACC looking like the next Pac-12. I watched the final football games of that conference in disbelief.
The ESPN/Fox/SEC/Big 10 fatberg are conspiring to turn college football into two superconferences that are like the NFL.

It's not easily broken, but after just one month in litigation the ACC is already talking about a buyout. FSU has a lot of good vectors of attack where the ACC decided things to protect itself against the interest of its member schools.
One is adding SMU, Cal and Stanford, which was done to ensure the ACC didn't fall under 15 schools and trigger a clause where ESPN could renegotiate the TV deal. These schools bring down the average TV viewership of ACC games, which won't help the big schools get closer to financial parity with the SEC and Big 10.
Another is the former ACC commissioner selling the TV rights in a way that gave ESPN subsidiary rights for nothing that it could resell to Raycom Sports. His son was a top executive trying to save that network at the time.
I talk to SMU fans who are telling themselves FSU won't be able to leave short of paying over $500 million. It seems like wishful thinking to me. Every time a big football power decides to leave a conference it succeeds.
