The Roger, Rafa and Djoker Era is Over: For the first time since 2002, the top 10 in men's tennis doesn't have anybody named Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic. Djokovic, 39, fell from 5 to 12 after the U.S. Open. The current ATP Rankings are led by Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz.

Lost my nerve. I didn't know the Cowboys had been shredded so badly by the run.

Picking the Cowboys over the Ravens feels a little foolish. Go Pokes!

I want to lock a Jags win over the Broncos but won't go that far. I hope the Cowboys aren't the team we saw on Sunday night.

I am rooting for Neal Brown and the Mean Green not Eric Morris and the Annoying Orange.
Cool to see Mestemaker and Hawkins knock off a big dog though.

Barry Melrose was Mr. Hockey to me during the 1990s and 2000s before ESPN lost the sport. As big a voice in the NHL as Al Michaels in the NFL. I was going to say as big as John Madden but that's going too far.
For some reason I haven't watched studio segments as much since ESPN regained the sport. I watch the games but skip the rest.

The Colts are going to win at home against a Ravens team with a new coach. I think Baltimore will be a slow starter.

Welcome back, NFL! I am counting the days until the Jaguars/Cowboys Super Bowl predicted by Pete Prisco of CBS.

All of the "did time expire?" controversies make me wish football games ended with one untimed down after the clock hit 0.
This is a bad time to suggest it because Michigan just got one anyway. But replays about the clock at a game's end always bog things down.

I've been wondering if there's a free-agent signing strategy that could mitigate the catastrophic loss of five first-round picks. Ballmer isn't going to want to let the Clippers endure a 10-year run of futility.
