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.

The Mavs are in rough shape but Cooper Flagg looked pretty good in the loss to the Pelicans last night. He was great at creating his own shot, though sadly the one that would've won the game was short.

The form now locks after kickoff again. I'm thinking about adding an Honor System checkbox that lets players pick after the time for the situations where you miss the deadline but haven't seen the score yet. Any objections?

Going for Minnesota to upset Baltimore at home, where J. J. "Angry Emoji" McCarthy plays well. Also picking the Steelers to abscond from SoFi with a victory against the Chargers. The Bucs/Patriots game in Tampa is one I'd like to see in person but I don't have the time for the trek across the state. I am going with the Pats in the upset.

I spent the first half Sunday ripping Trevor Lawrence and then he led the team to scores on their last five possessions for the win. He is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

Justin Herbert's stock was so low before the season among fantasy football pundits. Everybody thought he'd spend the whole season handing the ball off. Instead he leads the league with 2,140 passing yards and is tied for third with 16 passing touchdowns. Upsets I like: Giants over 49ers at home. The Chiefs are favored by 2.5 over the Bills on the road, a line I agree with after watching Patrick Mahomes, Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce on Monday night. I don't see how anyone stops that offense ever. Yahoo's pickem herd favors Buffalo 68% to 32%.

Sorry for overlooking the NBC doubleheader yesterday. I'm working on getting future weeks in the database early so people can pick ahead of the current week.

I can't find upsets to like this time around. Denver and Dallas should be another Mile High shootout. In 2013 Tony Romo threw for 506 yards and four touchdowns and lost the game 51-48! Houston favored at home by 1.5 against San Francisco is a surprise. Even Chauncey Billups wouldn't take that bet.
