Take a look now, Rumple. There was a problem with duplicate entries being saved for you. I've rerun the week's scoring calculator.

Monday night gets the best game of the week. I feel like Baltimore wants this one more and Opera Man will decide it with a 54-yarder.

If this was a normal year I'd be getting tickets to at least one of the games in Tampa to see my Dallas Stars. But if it was normal would the Stars be playing this final? Dallas is thriving in the bubble. Never underestimate how hard a team will play to avoid the Texas heat in August and September.

Buckle Up Baby, the widely memed two-year-old Pittsburgh Penguins fan, is still mad for hockey six years later and even played a game during intermission at a Pens game this season.

I didn't see any miscues Sunday because I only watched the Jaguars.

Haven't seen Neymar in a while. I miss his 1080-degree flops when another player's sleeve lightly brushes the hairs on his arm.

The NHL Playoff Pickem is updated with the Dallas Stars' five-game victory over the Vegas Golden Knights to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals.
Geneparmesan leads with 127 over Cixelsyd with 118. Being Dallas homers hasn't helped Ufez and I make a serious challenge to the leaders.

SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle
Vince Carter's Dunk of Death is all over Twitter this morning. It was interesting to read this 2015 story about the life of the player he death-dunked, Frédéric Weis.
The Knicks drafted him in the first round, he elected not to sign and play another year in France, and somehow the Knicks managed to never let him know they wanted him to play summer league for them the next two years even as he continued to make the French all-star game. They let a first rounder twist in the wind.
