Daytona 500 Ends with Horrifying Airborne Crash: Denny Hamlin became the fourth back-to-back winner of the Daytona 500 in a photo finish with Ryan Blaney, but the achievement is overshadowed by the condition of Ryan Newman, whose car went airborne in the final seconds of the race. Newman's condition was unknown but drivers and Fox's broadcast team were showing obvious concern. Black screens were brought out to keep fans from seeing Newman's removal from the car and transport to an ambulance.

Man City Banned from Champions League for Financial Breaches: UEFA has banned Manchester City for two years from the Champions League and other international tournaments for "serious breaches" of financial rules. The Blues can't play in the 2020/21 and 2021/22 Champions League. This opens a spot for the fifth place Premier League team to qualify (currently Sheffield United).

MLB Ponders Radical Playoff Changes: Major League Baseball is considering a playoff overhaul that would expand the field from five to seven teams in each league, give the top team a bye, give teams 2 through 4 the chance to pick their opponents and make that first round a three-game series played entirely at the top seed.

Ryan Newman walked out of Halifax Hospital today hand in hand with his daughters.

Roush Racing just read a statement that Newman is in "serious condition" at the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

I'm listening to NASCAR radio. Joe Gibbs apologized for his team celebrating after Denny Hamlin's win and said they weren't aware of how serious the Ryan Newman crash was. (The celebration's understandable to me because it became muted within a few minutes, but Twitter is raging.)
Newman's on radio now. After expressing concern for Newman, he repeated a metaphor he used on Fox after the win about avoiding wrecks and "living to race another corner." Not the best word choice but I guess the reality of the situation hasn't sunk in yet.

The driver's side hit after the car flipped was brutal.
It seems like the rescuers turned the car over with him still in it. I'm hoping that means there weren't head and neck injuries.

It was nice showmanship but his appearance made the interminable prerace even longer than normal. The race ended up getting postponed by rain after a tiny number of laps were completed.

You can see the week 15 results here. Ufez held on to first, NoMich narrowed the lead and Scooby won another week with 65.
I didn't really pick New Orleans. I needed at least one pick to make the page layout work, so I made a losing prediction.

I'd love to see the place more active. For some reason Google isn't sending us new traffic any more. If any members have SEO kung fu skills I'd love some advice for how to make us more visible.
I don't think Jessamyn ever joined. Where was that meetup?

There's no NBA Pick 'Em this week. Next week there will be 6 games to pick Tuesday through Thursday before the All-Star Game.

The biggest surprise in the commercials was the NFL ad that delivered the same message Colin Kaepernick took a knee for. How is he still blacklisted?

Another classic. This 538 tweet marked the point at which San Francisco had a 93.8% win probability.
