Another overtime game, that is three of the first four. Oilers win this one, series tied.

Seems kind of desperate, they don't have any other real option at QB and coach Tomin, while a good coach who has the team in the playoffs every year, has not gotten his squad to an AFCCG in a while. Always high expectations in Pittsburgh and at some point they are going to get tired of being just good enough to make the playoffs but not good enough to make a deep run once they get to the playoffs. Maybe this changes that, maybe it doesn't.

YouTube. It was on Netflix years ago, not sure if it is anymore or not.

Not yet. I really want to but I don't like movie theaters, and I don't know if it is streaming anywhere.

I slept poorly last night so not a great start.

Winger TJ Oshie has retired after 16 seasons. Oshie played college at the University of North Dakota was drafted in 2005 by the Blues, making it to the league in 2008. In 2018 he won the Stanely Cup with the Capitals. He ends with 302 career goals and 695 career points.

Someone suggested I try Magnesium because it helps relax the muscles. I used it a while back and forgot about it until I heard that this morning. I will try it tonight and let you know.

Panthers win game three and take the series lead. Florida needs two more wins to go back-to-back.

He wasn't going to win the Cup for them, and after his comments about Jake he probably the locker room. It was time to go.

You nailed the picks at 316! I hope Nunes wins but I have no idea. It will be the most anticipated women's UFC fight of all time. Maybe they can do it in NYC at MSG.

Stars have fired head coach Pete Debor. He did not appear to help his case after he threw the goaltender under the bus. Good riddance.

Game one went into one overtime, game two went into two overtimes. This time the Panthers win it 5-4. Maybe this will be a theme, the game number will always be the same as the number of overtimes. If so, get ready for a triple overtime thriller Monday night!

I've heard that as we get older it gets tougher to sleep well.

Same.

Harrison made the weight cut. Do you like Kevin Holland?

This got me thinking, where does it cost the most (and least) to attend an NFL game. According to USA Today this was the order in 2024: 1. San Fransico - $750 2. Las Vegas - 745 3. Philadelphia - 673 4. Green Bay - 659 5. New England (Foxboro) - 620 6. Chicago - 615 7. Kansas City - 613 8. Denver - 609 9. Seattle - 605 10. Pittsburgh - 603 11. Tampa Bay - 601 12. Washington DC (Landover, MD) - 595 13. New York (Giants) - 589 14. Dallas - 580 15. Minneapolis - 575 16. Cleveland - 566 17. Los Angeles (Chargers) - 549 18. Houston - 547 19. Baltimore - 543 20. Carolina - 540 21. Los Angeles (Rams) - 536 22. New York (Jets) - 532 23. New Orleans - 520 24. Jacksonville - 516 25. Tennesse (Nashville) - 508 26. Indianapolis - 504 27. Detroit - 496 28. Buffalo - 493 29. Atlanta - 487 30. Miami - 480 31. Cincinatti - 474 32. Phoenix - 452 Keep in mind this is the average total cost per person, prices have many variables such as seat location, opponent, sale vs resale, cost of parking, ect.

Aaron Rodgers finally has joined the Steelers on a one-year contract.

Sounds like that is a long time problem to me. Hope it improves.

Game 1 to the Oilers, winning 4-3 in overtime.

How long has it been going on?

Well as soon as I posted that they went on a three-game winning streak. The pitiful Marlins lost all three in the series, at home, to the hapless Rockies. Imagine being so bad you can't win one of three at home against the worst team ever. I'm so glad I gave up on baseball.

Hope you can get some good sleep. Do you have a long history of this?

It is only June, but the NFL drama is in mid-season form. Patriots WR Stephon Diggs had skipped voluntary OTAs with his new team and while he was not at practice he was filmed on a boat passing around what looked like illegal drugs. The video went viral and there was talk about him being cut, but the Patriots, a franchise known for prioritizing ethical behavior (sarcasm) decided to keep him on the team. The Patriots signed Diggs earlier in the offseason and it was a big risk. They gave him a lot of money, and he is coming off a major knee injury, is north of 30, and has a history of questionable behavior. Bill Belichick wrote in his book that drafting Tom Brady was the best decision he ever made. Obviously true, but the worst decision Bill ever made was letting Brady go to the Bucs. Both Belichick and the Patriots have yet to recover.

The Rockies are 10-50 and on pace to be the worst team in baseball during the modern era. It is the worst record through the first sixty games of the season since the 1884 Kansas City Cowboys.

Latest odds are close but have the Oilers as a slight favorite to win the Cup. If they do it will be the first time and Canadian team has won it since 1993, and the first time the Oilers have won since 1990. Strangely enough, as good as the Oilers were at times, winning the Cup in 90 and now in the finals two years in a row, they have not won a division title since 1987. If the Panthers win the Cup it would be their second in a row. They went 29 years as a franchise without winning, won it last year in year 30, and can repeat. If they win it would be the fourth time in six years a team from Florida won the Cup. Tampa in 2020 and 21, and Florida in 2024 and 25. The other two were Colorado 2022 (over Tampa) and Vegas 2023 (over Florida) making it six years in a row one of the teams from Florida has been in the finals. Twice during the previous five years a team from Canada lost to a team from Florida. Panthers beat the Oilers last year and Lightning beat the Canadians in 2021. That series ended on July 7, 2021, the latest a SCF game was ever played. Due to the COVID pandemic, the season started late.
