Even though they're called the NY Giants, they now have Penix envy.

My thoughts on this season's Atlanta Falcons can be visualized as a bell curve. The X axis represents time with the 0 point being summer of 2024 to the present. The Y axis represents my opinion of them with the 0 point being scorn up to a grudging respect of the team. This past summer, I was laughing at them and thanking them for making moves that somehow distracted from the shitshow that is the Panthers. Half way through the season, I had to admit that the Falcons were somehow making all of that work well. The present day, I'm back to laughing at them for going 1-4 in their last five and replacing Kirk Cousins with rookie Michael Penix.

Rickey Henderson, Hall of Famer and MLB’s all-time stolen bases leader, dead at 65
Rickey is a sure thing for Heaven. The Devil could never catch him.
If need be, he'll steal his way past the Pearly Gates.
Rickey's passing has rattled me. Gone too soon.

Hartford Whalers: From Heartbeat to Heartbreak
Damn, sorry tommy. I'll see if there's a workaround.
Also, some of the comments are worth checking out. They give a broader, more generous view of the transition of the franchise, so it's not all about the pain of loss to central New England.

NBA Cup Looking Up in Year Two
I know the final game didn't wind up being particularly competitive, but I do like the tournament overall, which I think is about the best as can be asked for. It gives a fan of a Western Conference team a small reason to pay attention to some early Eastern Conference games (and vice versa) and might help spread the word to the masses that basketball is indeed being played. It's an uphill battle trying to do much of anything during football season, but I do think it's a good product, and much more interesting than the All-Star Game.
If Darvin Ham gets a new head coaching gig with, say, Utah or something next season and they wind up winning *that* IST, they should just rename the whole thing after him, Emirate money be damned.

Howard must be on Cloud 10. He is going to float into the sanctuary tomorrow morning
With single-digit temperatures this morning, nothing was floating. I was running late due to forced participation in the sport of windshield scraping, so my arrival in the Sanctuary involved diving into a pew in order to get out of the way of the procession.
I am somewhat on cloud 10 with the Navy victory. My story is one of redemption from Army ROTC and 2 years of wearing a bar and running a desk on Okinawa to working most of the next 40+ years with the sea services. Add to this a wife whose father was an Annapolis graduate who achieved the grade of Captain, and you can understand my exit from the dark side. I fully agree with the assessment of Navy's win. The few wrinkles that they placed in the offense were enough to confuse Army long enough to give Navy the lead. It was a great game; somewhat of a throwback to days when the passing game was more of an afterthought.

The buzz around this year's Army-Navy Game has been unrivaled in recent memory.
A collision of two very good teams.
I thought Navy had a chance, but I did not see this domination coming.
What great scouting, film study and defensive game planning by The Midshipmen.
And commendable quickness and foot speed on both squads.

The notification for the latest NBA pick 'em just popped up in my email today. It was sent on Tuesday. Not your fault, rcade, but probably good old yahoo email. Another problem is that I spent about 7 or 8 hours in the emergency room on Monday. Nothing serious; I had a tooth pulled a couple of months ago, and it infected. My left jaw looks like I ran into a right hook. I might need surgery, but we'll see about that. Thus, I have missed the extra games in the pick 'em, so I will do my best to put on a late rally.

North Carolina hires Bill Belichick
It took me a while to make my way through that article, but it was worth every minute.
Dan Patrick has been saying the past few days that Belichick's experience as an NFL head coach and GM sets him up rather well to deal with today's NIL and transfer portal world of the NCAA and that he will put in place a staff that will work with each of them plus recruiting. OK fine, but is he able to provide enough Bojangles super tailgate specials and burgers 'n shakes from Cookout to keep his staff happy? Or will the giant chicken biscuits from Time Out be enough for them? Also, will Bill's current trophy girlfriend trust him to attend indy rock shows at the Cat's Cradle on his own? Will he be sneaky enough to dwell in the deep underground of indy rock at the Local 506 or the Cave without anyone noticing? Everyone on Franklin St is asking these questions now.

I made my annual run for seasonal Belgian dubbels and tripels and found out that the stores began pricing their overseas goods on a "tariffs are coming" basis a month ago.
And their usual holiday sales on select items? Not happening, no way.
I wish the distillers Richard and Craig Landry lived nearby. I would help subsidize those guys.

NBA Pickem Week 8: NBA Cup Runneth Over
Thanks, Ufez. Last two scores added.
I love P. J. When the Mavs are digging deep to come back late, he's usually at the center of it.

NBA Pickem Week 8: NBA Cup Runneth Over
My picks:
Bucks by 17 (slam dunk)
Mavericks by 4
Knicks by 11
Rockets by 13 (slam dunk)
I'd have more confidence in the Mavs heading into the Thunderdome tonight if I knew for sure that PJ (the Thunder-Destroyer) Washington were playing, but he's still listed as questionable with the Jimmy Butler/Joel Embiid/Andre Drummond flu that has been running through the Dallas locker room. Still, the Mavs seem to have OKC's number until proven otherwise.

Posting this at my own expense since I busted a slam on the GSW/Minnie game, but it looks like the Current Standings aren't including the last two games from last week, rcade.

Juan Soto does what he said he was going to do
Soto will face strong expectations that he can propel the Mets to the next level, so it's appropriate that his name anagrams to JATO Onus.

Stories like this are PR placements, and they're such malarkey (even though they're effective).
"And the suite seemed to be one of the perks the Mets added that showed their commitment," says the article.
You know what showed their commitment? A larger contract with a higher AAV. ~fin~

I wish the Magic weren't going into this so depleted with both Banchero and Wagner out. Going with Dallas over OK City (no surprise) but I think the Mavs are crafty late and can get the upset.
