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.

NFL Playoff Pickem Champion: rcade: This news is ridiculously late to everyone but me -- the NFL Playoff Pickem champion is Rogers "The Greek" Cadenhead. I really wish I'd placed an actual bet on the Chiefs to win by 3. I still have one more week to hit the tiebreaker, since I predicted a Taylor/Travis breakup on April 27. Some of you believe in the power of love.

NBA Pickem Champion: rcade: Another NBA regular season is in the books and the SportsFilter NBA Pickem champion is Rogers "The Greek" Cadenhead. Ufez Jones made a late climb but a blown Celtics lock against the Bucks at the start of the final week kept them too far back. I probably won't be buying the Wilson Evolution basketball I owe me.

SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle

Absolute insanity. But I guess if Penix continues to be injury prone they'll be have another quarterback who's already earning starter's money so they won't have to renegotiate with him?

SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle

Winnipeg and Colorado both hit the six goal prop in game 1's 7-6 Jets victory. This outcome helped no one in the pickem.

IF allowed, I'd like to change my 'top 3 goalscorer' from Nylander to Bertuzzi, if not, Willy it is!!!

Go ahead and change it.

I just noticed that on the link, the last prop is a team that gives up zero goals, but here it shows Game 1 winner.

Fixed. Thanks!

The Miami Heat and New Orleans Pelicans have joined the party. You can now pick them to beat the Thunder and Celtics (sorry, Howard).

My picks:

Magic in 6
Timberwolves in 7
Knicks in 6
Nuggets in 5
Mavericks in 6
Pacers in 6
Top point scorer: Luka Doncic
Top rebounder: Nikola Jokic
Most points per game: Pacers
Team scoring 130: Mavericks

The Mavericks lost one game more than the Clippers this season and they have identical 25-16 home records. One outscored opponents by 2.3 points a game, the other 3.3. Going with Dallas here because I was born 3 miles from the American Airlines Center.

The TBDs will become actual teams on the form tonight.

My picks:

Hurricanes in 6
Bruins in 7
Panthers in 7
Rangers in 5
Avalanche in 6
Canucks in 7
Stars in 6
Oilers in 5
Top goals: Auston Matthews
Top goalie (save %): Jake Oettinger
Team scoring 6 goals: Stars
Game 1 winner: Rangers

I hope I'm wrong about the Maple Leafs having another exit at the hands of the Bruins. The battle of Florida will be fun. I keep going back and forth on that pick, so I'm expecting that series to go the distance. The Stars caught a rough matchup in round one. Might as well figure out quickly if Dallas is the real deal. Oetty and all those scorers will take down Vegas. When are we going to be able to pick the Red Wings again in this contest? Hockeytown is in an eight-year playoff drought after a 25-year playoff streak.

I coulda swore I submitted picks for the final two games.
