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.

NFL Firings: Pete Carroll, Kevin Stefanski, Raheem Morris: A 3-14 season with the Las Vegas Raiders has ended Pete Carroll's return to coaching one year after it began. The team is going forward with first year GM John Spytek and this year's first overall draft pick. Also the Cleveland Browns have fired Kevin Stefanski and Atlanta Falcons Raheem Morris.

NFL Pickem Week 17: Two Weeks Left: The NFL begins week 17 by encroaching on the NBA's turf with a Christmas Day tripleheader. Sad it had to start with the Cowboys and Commanders when neither is going to the playoffs. Jagsnumberone leads the pickem standings and I jump to second after winning the week with 103. Make your picks.

The Steelers will upset the Ravens on Sunday night in their play-in game. I'd like to pick the Commanders to win over an Eagles team that is resting some starters but Washington is cursed. DUUUUUVALLL! Go Jags!

I am counting on the game time decision gods favoring Joel Embiid tonight in Memphis. Detroit is going to roll into L.A. tonight and spark more soul-searching by the purple and gold. Happy New Year!

Gardner Minshew and his jorts will lead Kansas City to victory over Tennessee. Baker Mayfield, who kind of looks like he could be Gardner's brother, will lead Tampa Bay to disappointment against Carolina.

NFL Pickem Week 16: Oh the Ligaments

Some scores from week 15 need corrections because of picks that need to be entered correctly. I can't get into the database from my location, so I'll be fixing them later.

Picking these upsets: Cincinnati over Baltimore, New England over Buffalo, Denver over Green Bay. Yahoo NFL pickem players are going 99%/1% for Jacksonville over the Jets, which scares me as a fan but not enough to go against the herd. How are the Packers going into Mile High as a 3-point favorite when Denver has won 10 straight games?

Thanks. Fixed that. I make that Rams-Chargers error so often these days. I need a lie down.
