Orlando Magic Fire Jamahl Mosley After Playoff Collapse: Seven days ago, the Orlando Magic took a 3-1 lead in the first round playoff series against the Detroit Pistons. Today they are out of the playoffs after a collapse that included a 45-minute stretch of game 6 in which the team scored no points. Head coach Jamahl Mosley has been invited to succeed elsewhere.

Philadelphia Eagles Draft Pick Has Never Played Football: In the seventh round, the Philadelphia Eagles drafted Uar Bernard, an athlete from a small town in Nigeria with no football experience at any level. "I've not played football, but I've gone through some drills," he said. It helps that he is 6 foot 4 and 306 pounds with 6% body fat, ran the 40 in 4.63 seconds and jumped 39 inches at International Player Pathway Pro Day. That 40 time is the fastest ever by a 300 pounder, according to YardBarker.

Bill Belichick Had No Players Drafted from North Carolina: Considered by many the greatest coach in NFL history, Bill Belichick didn't produce a single draft-worthy player in his tumultuous first year at the helm of North Carolina. He's going into this season with 61 new players, four-star freshman quarterback Travis Burgess and offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino.

There were a lot of games I watched where I didn't care about those picks because Bane was playing so well.
None of those games were in round 1.

The form is open tonight until midnight since the games begin so soon.

I don't think it's an unfair metric to use on Bill Belichick's team. The same thing is happening at Florida State to Mike Norvell. FSU having only one drafted player is being treated as another sign of the school's steep decline.
Belichick taking a college job is a big story. Not all of the attention he's getting is personal.
As for whether one year is enough time, college coaches usually get no more than three. Whether UNC has expectations high enough to give him a quick hook is an open question.

I've been watching a lot of Magic games this season. They are streaky and their hot streaks usually coincide with Franz Wagner being in the lineup. I am worried how they'll play tonight if his calf keeps him out.

I have been AWOL for a few weeks. A family member who had gone into hospice a month ago died last weekend, and while we've gone through that my brain didn't want to do much of anything outside of work.

This is my club so I've had a front-row seat to this debacle. For a while it looked like the club might fold after 158 years, which makes League One not so bad really.

It has been harder to stay interested in the Mavs now that I've reached the acceptance stage. I am watching a lot of Orlando Magic basketball and planning to attend a game.

I had a boss once who sent a department email about a coworker not washing his hands after going to the bathroom. It went to everyone but that person.

The Bucks looked pretty scrappy against Orlando last night but it won't be enough to beat the Thunder.
