Sports Bio

I follow the teams from Dallas-Fort Worth because I grew up with them, but I've adopted the Jacksonville Jaguars, the only pro team my new hometown is ever likely to get. The most memorable sporting event I attended live was game 6 of the NBA Western Conference finals in 1988 at Reunion Arena -- Mavericks vs. Lakers -- when Mark Aguirre and his prodigious caboose received half the game MVP award, and the 17,007 fans in attendance received the other half. I also follow U.S. Soccer, Sheffield Wednesday and Orlando City SC because members of this site dragged me into the beautiful game for the first time since the Dallas Tornado folded.

Bill Belichick Denied NFL Hall of Fame First Ballot

If it's about DeflateGate and SpyGate those controversies shouldn't have kept him off the first ballot. This is a huge embarrassment for the Hall of Fame.

NBA Pickem Week 14: NBA Every Day

This is a lot of basketball. What do y'all think about a maximum of 8 games a week, giving preference to games in this order -- ABC and NBC first, ESPN second, Prime third?

SportsFilter: The Saturday Huddle

This week's NBA Pickem did not occur. I was out of town celebrating my 31st wedding anniversary. We were supposed to have one for our 30th last year but were flattened by the flu.

Fans in Denver must have whiplash after going from victory euphoria to the Bo Nix news right after the game. I wish I could believe the Broncos had a shot tomorrow.

Tim Kurkjian predicts MLB work stoppage is coming

The Dodgers are making the MLB a buzzkill with these crazy salaries. That used to be the Yankees' job.

A work stoppage would undo all the good they've done with the faster games.

NFL Playoff Pickem Week 2: Divisional Round

Question: It's 'Player with a Sack', correct, not Interception?

Yes. Sack or two partial sacks. I have corrected the label.

Sorry I didn't answer in time. I think the cutoff was the first game played. I'll set it to the last game for the rest of the contest. Just make sure your prop pick hasn't started their game yet.

NBA Pickem Week 13: MLK Day Edition

My picks:

Thunder by 8
Warriors by 15 (slam dunk)

Thinking good thoughts for the Pacers made a difference. They've won 3 in a row but are still 9-31. Getting their own 2026 first round pick back last year is looking like a pretty good trade.
