You left off Jaguars vs. Bye. I, of course, will take the Jags but I won't lock it, as I'm a little worried we will lose in the last minute again/lol. Man it's tough being a Jaguar fan right now (3 blow out losses and 6 last minute losses)

I know the undefeated Cavs going into the Gahh-den is the headliner tonight (and it should be a great game), but I'm really looking forward to seeing how the OKC Thunder, who I believe don't have an active player over 6'9", are going to defend Wemby.
I still think they have enough firepower to win the game, but a swarm of Lu Dort, Cason Wallace, and J-Dub is going to be fun to watch.

What a quote, and I have a vivid memory of when De'Von came into the league, had a breakout game, and no one knew how to pronounce his name correctly.
The announcers were all over it: "A-Chain!, A-Chain!".
I know he wants people to say his name correctly, but the branding possibilities of "A-Chain" are limitless.
I would totally go into business with an athlete who could lend strong, catchy name recognition to a venture.
Like the NASCAR racing team I always wanted to form with Tie Rod Taylor.
But I decided to pass on the Shedeur line of men's fragrances. And the McCaffrey fast food coffee.

Miami Dolphins' De'Von Achane on why he chooses to wear a guardian cap on his football helmet:
When asked by the Miami media this week about his decision to wear a guardian cap this season, De'Von Achane replied, "My quarterback thinks my name is Tanner. I've corrected him plenty of times, but he still looks at me every time and defaults to Tanner ... " Achane said scanning the room for recognition. "So... Let's just say I'm doing what I can to protect myself, and I hope Tua does too down the road. Before another hit turns me into Preston."

Let me settle one important point first: I have never been in a hot tub with Matt Leinart. The rumors about me and a towel boy are nothing but vicious fabrication.
Matt Leinart is not even close to my age; actually he is about 1/2 my present 83 years. My son is only 6 years younger than Mr. Leinart. Could I be Matt Leinart? No! It's more likely that Matt Leinart is actually trying to impersonate me in an unsuccessful attempt to be associated with a championship team, even though it might be in another sport.
Howard the Hedonist? These days the only pleasures in life (other than the Celtics) come on the days that I am not scheduled to take my Furosemide (Lasix) medication. Those are the days that I can actually spend more than 2 consecutive hours without having to use the bathroom. While life at the age of 83 has its difficulties, I can look back and see that I more than made up for them in my youth. It's been a great ride, and it might go on for a while yet.

NBA Pickem Week 9 brings an interesting matchup with the 6-1 Warriors facing off against the 7-1 Celtics, and it's clear that Ufez Jones is on a roll after not locking in the Celtics over the Pacers. The NBA's decision to not schedule games on Election Day leaves us with just four national TV games, but these matchups are bound to keep things exciting. It's similar to Wordle Unlimited, where every game brings a new challenge and you have to think strategically with each pick.

I joined a late-drafting fantasy basketball league on Yahoo. I haven't played since Alonzo Mourning was on my team. Sometimes I do better with less knowledge, so I'm hoping that's what happened when my top four picks were Jayson Tatum, Domantas Sabonas, Ja Morant and Bam Adebayo.

We'll be in our usual seats in TD Garden tonight for Celtics vs Warriors. This is the 1st home game following a road trip for the Cs, and that often means a sub par performance. Add to the woes that Jaylen Brown is out, so life might not be great for the home team. I still pick them because they have threatened to lift my season tickets if I don't.

I was down in Tulsa visiting the Okie State-alum folks last week and watched about 75% of that pisspoor excuse of a Comehoming Game with them. Gundy's team appears to have completely quit on him. One of Arizona State's touchdown's could've been stopped if the safety had just bothered to push the runner six inches out of bounds. Just no effort whatsoever.
It's nice that he's deflecting criticism from his players, as he's always kind of famously done, but it's gotta be getting old. $25 milli will get you a real nice retirement palace on your choice of a number of lakes in the area.
I can't imagine Ollie Gordon is sleeping real well with his decision to come back for another season.

The Mike Gundy buyout is over $25 million.

NFL Pickem Week 9: B-E-T-S Bets Bets Bets
I make picks on Thursday night with my 13-year-old, and Halloween blew up our week. The site isn't letting me just pick Monday's game, so give me (us) the Bucs by 5.

Wondering if there'll be a knock on rcade's door after the election asking for help funding a Mike Norvell buyout.
FSU has to get its fecal matter collated ASAP if there's even a hint of Lane Kiffin coming to Gainesville. U Miami is already a Top 5 program.

Saints Fire Head Coach Dennis Allen
You think of guys like Jim Fassel and Brian Billick and have to wonder why people like Dennis Allen, Whisenhunt or Mularkey got more head coaching opportunities.

The success the Falcons are having now is with a roster build that began during the prior coaching regime. Cousins aside, the guys they bet on are producing.
One big thing is that the Falcons were very top heavy in front office hierarchy and they cleared some of that clutter out of the way. Rich McKay is doing less football related stuff and the GM now reports directly to ownership.
The division is theirs for the taking with all the injuries the Bucs have had.

No Mich needs a lemonade. Check out the NCSU, UNC and Lions scores from the past couple of days.
Domin-effin-ation.
Add to that the Panthers win over a Saints team that looked like it would take over the league after the first 2 games.
Sometimes, you just have to appreciate the goodness in the moment, while it's happening.
I'll bet that Bryce Young has a better chance of being a solid pro QB than Anthony Richardson.
AR does two things: he either leaves you in disbelief...or he leaves you in disbelief.

1) How crappy do you think that Bryce Young is feeling today after a game where he looked pretty good. I guess when the Saints arrived back in New Orleans, the GM was like, "YOU LOST TO *THAT* QUARTERBACK?! GET OUT!!" Bryce, brother, you did actually look pretty good yesterday.
2) I gotta say, I gave the Falcons a whole ton of shit before the season started with what looked to be some awful moves during the Summer, but dang, those moves are looking pretty good right now.
3) As a lifelong Lions fan that will always be a pessimist when it comes to the team, I gotta ask: Are they really *that* good this season?
