NBA Pickem Week 18: Magic Time: Another packed week of NBA on the tube. Games to pick begin Thursday night with a doubleheader on Prime, starting with the Houston Rockets at the resurgent Orlando Magic. Desmond Bane is playing like a league MVP lately. We all had pretty good weeks, though a blown lock on Nuggets over Warriors prevented Ufez from winning the week. Make your picks.

Sheffield Wednesday Earliest Relegation in EFL History: Sheffield Wednesday became the first team in the history of the English Football League to be relegated in February after a loss to rivals Sheffield United on Sunday. The Owls were hit with 18 points in penalties and transfer embargoes because their former owner let player wages and taxes go unpaid. They're still waiting to emerge from administration with a new owner.

It has been harder to stay interested in the Mavs now that I've reached the acceptance stage. I am watching a lot of Orlando Magic basketball and planning to attend a game.

I had a boss once who sent a department email about a coworker not washing his hands after going to the bathroom. It went to everyone but that person.

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 weirdness of Super Bowl numbering.

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.

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?

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.

Sheffield Wednesday Earliest Relegation in EFL History
This is my club so I've had a front-row seat to this debacle. For a while it looked like the club might fold after 158 years, which makes League One not so bad really.
