I am truly neutral on the NBA Finals, but for hockey, as time goes on I find myself rooting more *for* Canada getting the Cup back instead of my initial *against* Florida.

I didn't mind it either and I 100% understand why they did it. I still remember how small our cathode ray tube TVs were back in the '90s and the puck was hard to keep up with if you weren't used to the flow of an NHL game.

Lord had mercy. There is no way that all this dumb shit will ever be worth it for UNC football. It's just a non-stop circus.

NBA Finals to start on Thursday. This is a series that I truly do not have a rooting interest other than close, well-fought games.

I can't think of a better time for the Cup to go back to a Canadian team, so, go Edmonton.

Question for the hockey experts: If a player commits a penalty and the opponent scores on the ensuing Power Play, does their personal +/- take a ding even though they weren't on the ice?
If a team on the power play scores a goal, there is no + and - given to anyone. If, on the other hand, the shorthanded team scores a goal, then a + and - is given.

SportsFilter: The Sunday Huddle
Carlos Alcaraz beats Janek Sinner in five sets after dropping the first two sets to win the longest (and some say best) French Open Men's Final ever played.
It was a match for the ages. Really, it was. Sinner had 3 or 4 championship points in the 4th set, but couldn't convert. That's when Carlos just took over. That's not to say that Sinner rolled over and played dead; no, far from it. Incredible match that had me, Mr Casual Tennis Fan, on the couch since set 4. Incredible come from behind victory.
