As you can see below, there is no shortage of values and stacking options, but as is often the case on days like this, there are only a handful of high-quality pitching options. It’s tempting to pay up for one of the aces, but you might be better off just going for a mid-level pitcher with a good matchup (David Phelps, Chad Kuhl, Brandon Finnegan, etc.).

Debating who is more deserving is splitting hairs. It’s much more interesting to look at where the two Cowboys rank among the best rookies in NFL history. That also is easy: In some combination, they are 1-2. That was the case before Prescott passed and Elliott ran Dallas by Minnesota, 17-15, on Thursday. It was cemented before the duo helped improve the team’s road record to 6-0. For the record, the tie for OROY goes to Elliott, because he was the heavy favorite going into the season and hasn’t done one thing wrong to change that status....

To commemorate the 19th anniversary, Earnhardt, 42, tweeted a picture of the paycheck he got for the win. Not a bad day’s pay, $50K, but it’s interesting to see the breakdown too.

Well, with the rink situated in the middle of the Cotton Bowl — the walk to the Stars’ locker room on Wednesday was a little longer than usual....
King, who took a decisive lead at the first corner on the opening lap of the first race, gave the title away to Daly in the second race by spinning at the same first corner of the Madras Motor Sports Club track.
