Make your selections and send a good thought to the Dallas execs who have an MVP talent surrounded by a playoff also-ran, no first-round picks to trade until 2027 and limited dollars to spend.

Grasping at straws, but someone on Twitter claimed a medic gave someone a thumbs up. And Kaspher Schmeichel seemed to be giving good news to a woman in the brief glimpse of their interaction.

Christian Eriksen's collapse during the Euro 2020 match is terrifying. Hope that he is OK.

The Flu Game is 24 today. A performance I think about all the time, especially if I'm feeling sick and trying to work through it.

Fourteen players in the group. Not a bad showing.
Having the percentages of who made a pick really encourages herd mentality. I shifted to Switzerland to win Group A. Take that, 96 percenters!

The newly unveiled statue of Rafa Nadal at Roland Garros is great. He looks like a messy tornado.

I think they chose Elks over Elk to be closer to Esks.
I read somewhere that if it's a proper noun the plural rules go out the window and are established by the creator, which is why there's no Toronto Maple Leaves.

I am watching as well. Pretty entertaining through 83 minutes. On corners we have air superiority.

The AFC South just got tougher.
Yeah, I wasn't happy to see that either. The Texans are in a deep hole and the Colts are unproven under Wentz, so I was feeling pretty good about the Jaguars chances in the South. Not to win it this season but perhaps 2022.
