Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini Does Not Matter: If an NFL coach had an extramarital relationship with a national NFL reporter, do we have to care? No, argues Greg Bedard of Boston Sports Journal. "If it was my job to cover extramarital affairs about owners, executives, players, coaches, I’d never cover the games," he said. The argument that it matters because people care about it is circular. The public is titillated by all kinds of things that don't matter.

With everyone's OK I will open it back up until game 2. Some players missed it.

Watching the CFL makes the NFL season arrive sooner.

There are two improvements in the contest this season. Soon you'll be able to pick weeks in advance because the whole season is already in the database. Also, there will be an honor system feature that removes the time deadlines when you want to pick before you know anything about the game in progress.
These will be in the NFL Pickem as well.
My picks:
Tiger-Cats by 3
Stampeders by 9
Redblacks by 13 (lock)
Taking all three favorites because I haven't read up on the new season yet.

I retract my statement that Thunder/Spurs was the real Finals. The Knicks are the real deal and could beat San Antonio.

I loved Lemieux as the villain on the Avalanche. The regular season game between the Avs and Red Wings where they dropped the gloves right after the opening puck drop is one of my all-time favorite moments in hockey.

There were a lot of games I watched where I didn't care about those picks because Bane was playing so well.
None of those games were in round 1.

I don't think it's an unfair metric to use on Bill Belichick's team. The same thing is happening at Florida State to Mike Norvell. FSU having only one drafted player is being treated as another sign of the school's steep decline.
Belichick taking a college job is a big story. Not all of the attention he's getting is personal.
As for whether one year is enough time, college coaches usually get no more than three. Whether UNC has expectations high enough to give him a quick hook is an open question.

I've been watching a lot of Magic games this season. They are streaky and their hot streaks usually coincide with Franz Wagner being in the lineup. I am worried how they'll play tonight if his calf keeps him out.

Revised picks:
Magic in 7
I'm pretty sure after last night that the Magic are the greatest team in NBA history.
