Sports Bio

I follow the teams from Dallas-Fort Worth because I grew up with them, but I've adopted the Jacksonville Jaguars, the only pro team my new hometown is ever likely to get. The most memorable sporting event I attended live was game 6 of the NBA Western Conference finals in 1988 at Reunion Arena -- Mavericks vs. Lakers -- when Mark Aguirre and his prodigious caboose received half the game MVP award, and the 17,007 fans in attendance received the other half. I also follow U.S. Soccer, Sheffield Wednesday and Orlando City SC because members of this site dragged me into the beautiful game for the first time since the Dallas Tornado folded.

Saints Fire Head Coach Dennis Allen: Dennis Allen has been fired as the New Orleans Saints head coach after three seasons. The Saints started hot but have lost seven games in a row, bringing Allen's overall record to 18-25. This was the second time Allen went into a season with Derek Carr as his starter that ended in a mid-season firing. He coached Carr's rookie season a decade ago with the Oakland Raiders and was fired after four games.

NFL Pickem Week 9: B-E-T-S Bets Bets Bets: Aaron Rodgers and the 2-6 New York Jets are favored to beat the 6-2 Houston Texans tonight on Thursday Night Football. Who is making that bet? Not Rumple, probably, who is leading the pickem for a second week in a row. Werty is in second 12 back. NoMich wins the week with 100. Make your picks.

NBA Pickem Week 2: Paolo in the Zone: There's a TNT doubleheader tonight of Mavs/Wolves and Pelicans/Warriors to start the NBA national broadcast week. Former rookie of the year Paolo Banchero of the Magic dropped 50 on the Pacers Monday and has a game on ESPN tomorrow. I'm in first in the pickem after scoring 66 and hitting five locks. Fortune favors the bold.

Saints Fire Head Coach Dennis Allen

I liked the Allen hire and the Carr signing. Don't know where it went wrong.

NFL Pickem Week 9: B-E-T-S Bets Bets Bets

Revised picks:

Cowboys by 3
Bills by 10 (lock)
Bengals by 7 (lock)
Chargers by 3
Patriots by 3
Commanders by 10 (lock)
Saints by 3
Ravens by 10 (lock)
Eagles by 7 (lock)
Cardinals by 3
Lions by 10 (lock)
Rams by 3
Vikings by 7 (lock)
Chiefs by 3

The Chiefs are the most underwhelming 7-0 team ever. Andy Reid does all those commercials ("Bundlerooski! Bundlerooskidoo!") and still has time to work his dark incantations of victory.

I gotta say I'm disappointed that weather won't be a factor today. Love tuning in to the CFL playoffs and seeing Ice Bowl conditions.

NBA Pickem Week 2: Paolo in the Zone

Can't believe I overlooked Wembanyama. He's hard to miss.

SportsFilter: The Tuesday Huddle

I think I fixed the problem causing the server to run out of disk space and reject logins. A Facebook IP range in Ireland was sending us half a million page requests a week.

NBA Pickem Week 2: Paolo in the Zone

My picks:

Timberwolves by 8
Pelicans by 3
Celtics by 13 (slam dunk)
Thunder by 9 (slam dunk)
Magic by 3
Timberwolves by 5

The Celtics are going to be a problem for everybody else all season long.

This post is going up late so the Friday picks will only count if all players make them in time.

I couldn't figure out the Bears as a 3-point favorite over the Commanders until I saw Jayden Daniels is questionable to play.
