100 2.0 & 200 2.8II or 135 2.0 for Indoor Sports on Full Frame?

Thanks again. I think I'm picking up steam to pull the plug on a 6D. I'll eventually get a 100-400 so the 135 would be a likely great complement.
In the name of being overly practical does anyone use the 40mm lens as their main "normal" lens on full frame? I already have that and can probably financially get away with making the move by throwing most of my "crop" items up on ebay tonight.

The 6D's a great camera, especially in low light, and has a nice simple AF system that's much more accurate than the 5D mki/ii.

I really like the 40mm on FF, it's a great standard lens.

Is the 70-200 2.8 non-IS out of your range?

Since you have to freeze action, the IS would be of more limited use to you. The non-IS can be had for about the same price as the two lenses you suggested.
In the name of making a quick point - I'm a prime-ho, but am not adverse to considering a tele-zoom. If no one minds one more rookie-esque question:
All things being equal how's the image quality compare between the 70-200 2.8 non-IS and the 135 2.0?

Not as a main walkaround lens - that's the 24-70/2.8L II. But I really like the 40/2.8 pancake. When I'm walking around with a tele lens mounted (70-200/2.8, 100-400), I put the pancake lens in my pocket. If I need a wider AoV, it's easy to swap and leave the tele lens hanging from the Blackrapid strap while I handhold the body with the 40/2.8.
