Dallas post-game internal memo:
1) Have an opponent spit on Prescott before the start of each half.
2) Figure out if there may be a reason for the following, which was repeated throughout the broadcast: "Hurts, with all kinds of time..."
3) Either get Cee Dee Lamb some Lester Hayes Stickum or quit throwing him passes with Wallenda-level degrees of difficulty and high potential for serious collisions.

If agent Jimmy Sexton's top 5 money earning college head coach clients (including Kalen DeBoer of Alabama) were fired without cause, the combined buyout total would be 340 million dollars.
Nick Saban was (and is) a Jimmy Sexton client but never figured into that math because he didn't have a buyout clause in his contract when he was coaching.
Sexton made up for it when he negotiated a massive buyout for DeBoer that Bama never should have agreed to. They wanted to look brisk and decisive in replacing Saban and paid accordingly.

Jerry Jones:
"those draft picks could get us, I'm talking top Pro-Bowl type players," the Cowboys owner said. "They could get us as few as three or as many as five outstanding players."
The Cowboys haven't drafted all that badly in recent years, so maybe.
But it sure sounds like Jerry has Johnnie Walkered his front office brain back into the Herschel Zone.

The owner of the most valuable sports franchise in the world negotiates in the dumbest way possible with Parsons and his agent, so Micah goes to a community owned team in the league's smallest market with the second lowest operating revenue and gets an unprecedented contract.

I feel a little bad for Daniel Jones.
There are only 32 GM's in the NFL. A player's chances of being rostered by an astute one are less than even odds.
Jones went from playing for a GM who decided the QB was worth paying before releasing him (Joe Schoen) to a GM who declared that he believed in Anthony Richardson the day before Jones was named the starting QB (Chris Ballard).
If the Daughters of Irsay decide to do some firing, I would can Ballard ASAP and give Coach Steichen a fighting chance to compete with a roster built by someone who knows what they're doing and doesn't have their career trajectory forever pegged to having the rug pulled out from under them by the retirement of Andrew Luck.

Arlington, Texas remains the largest city in the US without a fixed route mass transit system.
Many tax dollars have gone into funding new sports facilities instead.
And we recently learned here on SpoFi about how abhorrent the Stars have become in imposing a stranglehold on the central Texas hockey community.
According to one of the comments that follow this Defector piece (the comments are almost as blistering as the piece itself), no one in Arlington cares about the Cowboys.
The article includes this insight into area highway conditions:
"Every Dallas resident has a fetish for sitting dead-stopped on a 10-lane highway alongside a bunch of other unhappy people, all driving the largest car available."

Cam Little kicked a 70 yd. field goal for the Jaguars yesterday.
It's not in the record books because it was not kicked during a regular season game.
But it was even a more historic kick than the numbers indicate.
Tom Dempsey kicked a record setting 63 yd. FG in 1970 that was all the more remarkable because he kicked it in the sultry air of outdoor Tulane Stadium in NOLA.
But it was kicked in November, when weather conditions in Louisiana are more moderate.
Most of the massive moon shots that Elam, Prater and McManus kicked for the Broncos were struck in the thin, high altitude air of Denver, where the ball carries farther.
Justin Tucker's record 66 yarder was kicked in a controlled environment, indoors at Ford Field in Detroit.
Cam Little's kick was nailed outdoors in August in Jacksonville on the banks of the St. Johns River, a short distance inland from the sea air of the Atlantic.
That is some thick, wet, heavy ass air. The idea that Little made a 70 yard kick under those conditions is mind boggling. I'd say tack on another 5 yards for degree of difficulty and give him the record.
The whole thing is fitting poetic justice. It wasn't that long ago that the Jags' Asshole In Chief, Urban Meyer, kicked PK Josh Lambo in the leg during an August practice and said: "Hey dipshit, make your fucking kicks" before releasing Lambo (one of the best all time kickers in franchise history) from the squad.

In the runup to the Open, I became captivated by the golf course at Royal Portrush.
I watched hole by hole previews filmed by drone cam in muted golden light and the place seemed utterly magical.
I could not conceive of how a long hitter would be able to keep a ball anywhere near in play.
I would just want to walk the course, to heck with hitting a wee ball about.
Fast forward to yesterday and today, watching the tournament on TV: the magic is not there, displaced by a dreary monotone of seacoast weather and players garbed in drab tones. They don't show much of the dramatic features of the golf course. Plus the scoring seems almost unreal against that topography. In some cases, boringly efficient. I've lost interest in it.
I'll give it another go after the cut is made, hopefully, my interest will be rekindled. It is indeed fun tuning in the tournament just as the first real rays of daylight are coming through our windows.

White Sox fans have an extra gear.
So do White Sox owners.
First of all, the asshole Sox fan who taunted Marte should be identified, the same way that shirtless Sox fans William Ligue and his 15 year old son were identified when they came out of the stands at Comiskey and attacked Royals 1B coach Tom Gamboa in 2002, causing permanent hearing loss.
The taunter of Marte deserves the same team scrum that enveloped the Ligues. Send the players up into the stands. No problem. Frontier park, frontier justice.
The thing that got me about the Ligues was that when they were shown being hauled off by the cops, they didn't show any signs of real extreme damage. Yet I'm sure that at least some of the Royals players were wearing spikes that day.
Not to be outdone by the unruly stooges in the stands, Sox owner Bill Veeck and his son staged the infamous Disc Destruction Night at Comiskey in 1979. They just wanted to bring in a few extra fans with a simple gimmick to plump the paid gate a bit. And what would the Veecks be known for if not their zany promotional gimmicks?
Instead, over 50,000 people showed up to watch a pile of disco records get blown up on the field in between games of a double header. The Sox lost the first game to the Tigers and had to forfeit the second game when the fans stormed and wrecked the field and had to be dispersed by riot police. The Sox finished a few games below .500 that year. Those were two of games in the loss column.
That was also the era of the Sox trotting out the ugliest MLB uniforms on record, which anyone can look up. I'm not going to link to them. Fisk and Zisk and all the other guys had to endure the ignominy of trying to compete in those togs. For that, they should have gotten paid at least what the average bat choking pinch hitting utility infielder gets paid today.

Steve Ballmer paid a record 2 billion to Donald Sterling for the Clippers even though Donald was being forced to sell the team and had little leverage to speak of.
You don't bring a Brinks truck to a fire sale. Ballmer way overpaid.
Then the Clips put together a Herschel Walker trade with OKC to get Paul George. Where OKC is now is the result of that trade. Besides SGA, OKC GM Sam Presti has a trove of draft picks that would make Danny Ainge want to burst into tears and chew on a wet towel.
Presti's first wave of mega talent (Harden, KD, Westbrook) have all turned into high priced wanderers with baggage that for the most part have not delivered their NBA teams to the promised land.
And if OKC hadn't tanked in the 3rd quarter of Game 7 of the 2016 WCF with the Warriors and lost their chance to go to The Finals, KD might well have stayed put in OKC instead of signing with Golden State.
The Lakers just got sold and have roster issues. Not top contending anytime soon.
Against this backdrop and remembering that Rick Carlisle brought Dallas a title via the toughest playoff road in NBA history and this year almost pulled off what would have been the most momentous Finals upset in history with the Pacers, any complaints on the part of Mavs fans are strictly junior varsity. Be glad for what you had when you had it, and for what you're about to get later today.

In prior games, Tyrese was clever about holding the bulk of his scoring till later in the game.
Last night, he came out firing and nailed three threes in quick succession. He looked like he was feeling it and ready to will his team to a historic win.
That will only add to the sense of "what if" and "asterisk win" if there are some folks who are so inclined to peg that on the Thunder.
Siakam wasn't having any of that talk post game. He was all "shit happens; next man up".
I told my brother in law that Holmgren had to score at least 12 and grab 7 boards for a Thunder win. He had been invisible in Game 6. Actually a liability at some moments.
Holmgren did well and him showing up helped create the margin of victory.
I still wouldn't pay him, but I would defer to Presti if I was an OKC fan.
