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 Bucks looked pretty scrappy against Orlando last night but it won't be enough to beat the Thunder.

Fixed. The match for props is on full name so I have to make sure all the winners are changed to it.

The Super Bowl doesn't usually sneak up on me, but this one did. The only hype I noticed was when old Pats were mad at Tom Brady.

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.

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.

Patriots by 14 (lock)
Seahawks by 7 (lock)
Passer: Sam Darnold

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.

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

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