NASCAR Driver Kyle Busch Dies of Illness at 41: NASCAR driver Kyle Busch died today after being hospitalized hours earlier with a severe illness. The two-time NASCAR champion was 41 and won a truck series race just six days ago, savoring the win in the post-race interview by saying "you never know when the last one is."

Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini Does Not Matter: If an NFL coach had an extramarital relationship with a national NFL reporter, do we have to care? No, argues Greg Bedard of Boston Sports Journal. "If it was my job to cover extramarital affairs about owners, executives, players, coaches, I’d never cover the games," he said. The argument that it matters because people care about it is circular. The public is titillated by all kinds of things that don't matter.

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.

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'm pretty sure after last night that the Magic are the greatest team in NBA history.

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.
