A Bit of Disbelief

Golf is not a sport I watch too often, but even I know of the legendary Arnold Palmer who passed away yesterday at the age of 87. Rest in peace!

NFL Wrap Up

1. Arizona at Buffalo- I was flabbergasted by this one. Just gobsmacked at the end results. Without NFL Redzone, I had to use my ESPN app to keep up. Head Scratcher!
2. Oakland at Tennessee- I had a feeling I should not have picked against the silver and black.
3. Cleveland at Miami
4. Baltimore at Jacksonville
5. Detroit at Green Bay
6. Denver at Cincinnati
7. Minnesota at Carolina- Are you kidding me? My son was not happy about this result. No way.
8. Washington at NY Giants
9. Los Angeles at Tampa Bay- Good for the Rams who are surprising everyone. Seattle paid the price last week. 
10. San Francisco at Seattle- Good.
11. NY Jets at Kansas City
12. San Diego at Indianapolis
13. Pittsburgh at Philadelphia - What on Earth happened to Pittsburgh? Not even a "C" game to be found. Ugh. Head Scratcher.
14. Chicago at Dallas- Okay, that means we have a 2-1 record in the NFL East. What will Stephen A. Smith have to say about it on FirstTake this morning?

For Monday Night Football on ESPN, I am picking the Saints to earn their first win over the visiting Falcons in a divisional game.

Either Henrik Stenson or Phil Mickelson will win the British Open. (Muted applause)

WNBA

Phoenix Mercury added to the woes of the San Antonio Stars. Sigh.

NASCAR side note - here is hoping and praying for a complete recovery for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. who had concussion-like symptoms and will not race today. If he still is not clear, then Jeff Gordon will drive on the 24th.
