Friday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here……..
13) NFL has a strange rule about what coaches/players wear on the sidelines during games.
Under league rules, coaches aren’t allowed to wear a hat from a previous year; they have to wear stuff that was designed this year, so suckers (like me) watching on TV will go on the Interweb and buy the new stuff. (disclaimer: I don’t buy nearly as much stuff as I used to)
I’m superstitious; when the Rams play Buffalo in couple weeks, I’ll be wearing the same shirt I wore during the Super Bowl, but NFL coaches can’t, and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan isn’t happy about it. NFL makes a boatload of $$$ for sure, and stuff like this is part of the reason why.
12) There are no NFL games next weekend, which is a smart move; college games will get the full stage, as NFL teams finalize their rosters and get ready for their openers the following week.
11) 76-year old Arte Moreno, who has owned the Los Angeles Angels for 20 years, said this week that he has begun to explore the process of selling the team. Angels haven’t made the playoffs since 2014; they’re a big market team with a nice stadium that draws well— someone is going to step up and pay a boatload of $$$ to buy it.
Moreno spent a lot of money on the Angels, but their farm system wasn’t productive, and their pitching is dismal. Will be interesting to see who buys the team.
Washington Nationals are also on the block, and they won the World Series three years ago, but they’ve been unable to re-sign the star players they’ve had.
Makes you wonder though; if two teams are up for sale, is owning a big league ballclub as good a deal as it used to be?
10) Houston Astros are 50-3 this season when they score 5+ runs, 31-42 when they don’t.
9) San Diego Padres are 8-12 since they traded for Juan Soto/Josh Bell. Very disappointing.
8) If you bet on the Mets Thursday, they were -417 against Colorado, meaning to win $100 on the Mets, you had to risk $417. They were the biggest baseball favorite in the last three years.
I would never, ever lay -417 in baseball; actually, would probably never lay anything over -175. Better to play totals or first five innings, or lay 1.5 runs.
7) Horse racing channel TVG (602 on DirecTV) will now be known as FanDuel TV; sounds like the station will remain basically the same, other than the name change. They will also have a football-related program, a new daily show with Kay Adams, who used to be on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football.
6) LA Rams hired former Washington head coach Jay Gruden as a consultant; Sean McVay used to work under Gruden, with Washington and in the UFL with the Florida Tuskers.
5) Minnesota Vikings cut punter Jordan Berry; they’ll have their sixth different punter the last seven seasons, which also means their kicker will have another new guy holding for kicks.
4) Dallas Cowboys’ LT Tyron Smith suffered an avulsion fracture of his knee, a serious injury that involves the hamstring tendon tearing off the bone. Cowboys hope he can return to play in December, but that is not a sure thing.
3) If you have Amazon Prime, here’s a TV recommendation: Bosch, starring Titus Welliver as a Los Angeles homicide detective. Good show; is it fairly violent, but there is some low-key humor in there too and very good acting.
2) Phillies star Bryce Harper will be activated for Friday’s game with Pittsburgh; he’s been out for two months since breaking his thumb when he got hit by a pitch. Harper figures to be the DH going forward, seeing how he also has a torn ligament in his elbow.
1) Orioles 4, White Sox 3 (11)— Rookie Kyle Stowers hit his first MLB home run with two out in the ninth inning, tying the game in dramatic fashion. It was Stowers’ 7th MLB game.
Orioles are now 65-59, 2.5 games behind Seattle for the third/last Wild Card slot.

Quote of the Day
“I didn’t like the way it ended at UCLA. I should not have been fired. And I will tell you this, the last four years bear that out…….I shouldn’t have been fired. You can write that. I should not have been fired. What did they win, [18] games in the four years since I’ve been fired? So yeah, I do have a chip on my shoulder. Did I want another chance? Sure.”

Saturday’s quiz
Which two NFL teams has Jim Mora Jr coached?
Friday’s quiz

Thursday’s quiz
After leaving the Chiefs, Hank Stram coached the New Orleans Saints.
***************************
Saturday’s Den: Story lines for the 2022 NFL season
— What a mess they have in Cleveland; they’ve made the playoffs once the last 19 years, they signed QB Deshaun Watson to a huge, guaranteed contract, but he’s suspended 11 games by the NFL for alleged sexual misconduct- he didn’t play last year either.
Jacoby Brissett is Cleveland’s QB to start; the Browns traded the previous starter Baker Mayfield to Carolina, their opponent in Week 1.
— Mike Zimmer went 74-59-1 as coach of the Vikings from 2014-21, but went 2-3 in playoff games, so he was shown the door and in comes Kevin O’Connell, who has an offense-based background, but he’s never been a head coach.
Will QB Kirk Cousins/WR Justin Jefferson benefit from the coaching change? Defense-minded coaches like Zimmer tend to run the ball more, to protect their defense from being on the field too much. Minnesota figures to be more wide open on offense now.
— Trey Lance is the new QB in San Francisco; he’s started only three football games the last two years, going 1-1 with the 49ers LY, after North Dakota State played only one game in the short 2020 season.
17 starts at the I-AA level, two starts in the NFL, he takes over a team that lost the NFC title game 20-17 last year. 49ers are in win-now mode; is Lance good enough right now to lead them to a Super Bowl?
— Brian Daboll is the guy who developed Buffalo QB Josh Allen into a big star; Daboll is now the head coach of the Giants. Allen will have a new voice in his ear; new OC Ken Dorsey. Buffalo is favored to win the Super Bowl; can Allen maintain his high level of play, with a new OC calling his plays?
— if Daboll can turn Daniel Jones into a top-flight QB the way he did with Allen, then he’s going to be known as an elite QB whisperer; last five years, Giants are 22-59. This is a made-or-break year for Jones in New Jersey; the 2023 draft is expected to be QB-heavy.
— AFC West is loaded; Raiders are the longest shot to win the division, and they were 10-7 LY, a playoff team. Mahomes, Wilson, Herbert, Carr; lot of good QB’s.
— Chiefs have hosted the last four AFC title games, but won only one Super Bowl- they played the Buccaneers in Tampa in the Super Bowl they lost. Kansas City has won the AFC West six years in a row; can they make it seven this year?
— Raiders, by the way, haven’t won a playoff game since losing the Super Bowl 20 years ago.
— Matt Ryan will be the Colts’ 5th different starting QB the last five years; they were 9-6 at one point LY, but gagged at the end, losing last two games to Raiders/Jaguars, missing the playoffs, which prompted the Carson Wentz-to-Washington deal.
Ryan went 124-108 as QB of the Falcons; he led a Super Bowl 28-3, but things went downhill after Atlanta lost that game in overtime. Now, at age 37, he starts the final chapter in his NFL career.
— Some numbers to consider:
Tom Brady was 249-75 as QB of the Patriots, 30-11 in playoff games.
Bill Belichick is 321-156 as a head coach, 31-13 in playoff games.
Do the math, subtracting the Brady games, and Belichick is 72-81 as a head coach, 1-2 in playoff games.
— Sean Payton was 161-97 coaching the Saints, 9-8 in playoff games; he won a Super Bowl, but he is working on TV for FOX this year. His presence will hover over the Dallas Cowboys this year; Dallas is 18-15 in two years under Mike McCarthy- they haven’t won a playoff game since 2018.
Dallas was 12-5 last year, but lost their first playoff game; they haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1995. Jerry Jones ain’t getting any younger; there is pressure on McCarthy to produce this year.
If he doesn’t, Payton could very well be the Dallas coach next season.
— During a preseason game last week, Arizona QB Kyler Murray was calling plays in the fourth quarter; would Kliff Kingsbury ever let Murray call his own plays while he was playing?
Back in the day, quarterbacks called their own plays, but this off-season, Arizona questioned Murray’s willingness to study/prepare like NFL QB’s are supposed to do. They’re also paying him $46M a year, so they obviously think he is capable.
— Doug Pederson is Jacksonville’s third head coach in three years; he was 46-39-1 coaching the Eagles, winning a Super Bowl. Trevor Lawrence enters his second year as the QB; he should do a lot better with Pederson mentoring him.
— It has been 18 years since a team won consecutive Super Bowls; can the Rams repeat this season? They lost some veteran players from LY; Whitworth. Woods. Von Miller. Weddle. Hekker. Corbett.
They’re being dismissed in preseason predictions; they still have a great coach, a great QB and Aaron Donald, the best defensive player in the game. We’ll see what happens.

Sunday’s 6-pack
Major league leaders in runs scored:
101— Aaron Judge
98— Mookie Betts
92— Paul Goldschmidt
89— Freddie Freeman
83— Dansby Swanson
81— Tommy Edman, Trea Turner, Christian Yelich
Quote of the Day
“I think I care a lot about this game, and I sometimes get a little bit too passionate. After the interception and all that, I tried to just clean the plate and start fresh. Sometimes it’s getting the frustration out and moving on.”
New England QB Mac Jones
Sunday’s quiz
Who was the last pitcher to win 30 games in one season?
Saturday’s quiz
Jim Mora Jr has coached the Falcons/Seahawks.
Friday’s quiz
Other than the Jets (10 years), Denver Broncos have the longest playoff drought (6 years).
****************************
Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday……
— Northwestern (+11) 31, Nebraska 28
Nebraska led 28-17 with 9:00 left in third quarter.
Total yardage: Northwestern 528-465. Teams put on a good show for the fans in Ireland.
When Nebraska scored to make it 28-17, they tried an onside kick, which failed, and the game swung from there.
Cornhuskers are 5-21 in their last 26 games that were decided by 8 or fewer points.
— When September 1 rolls around next week, major league rosters expand from 26 to 28 players, but only one of the two new players can be a pitcher. Teams will be limited to 14 pitchers for the last month of the season.
— When training camp started, Carolina Panthers had a crowded QB room, but they’ve already lost two guys; rookie Matt Corral hurt his foot, is thought to be done for the year. Sam Darnold messed up his ankle Friday night, is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, leaving Baker Mayfield as the #1 QB, with PJ Walker backing him up.
— Utah State 31, UConn (+26) 20— Jim Mora Jr’s Huskies jumped out to a 14-0 lead on the road, easily covered the spread. UConn ran the ball for 245 yards, but completed only 13-33 passes.
— San Francisco Giants are in Minnesota this weekend for first time since 2005; they’re the last major league team to visit Target Field. Giants lost their last three games, outscored 18-3.
— Seattle Seahawks named Geno Smith their starting QB for the season opener against Denver and old friend Russell Wilson.
— Illinois 38, Wyoming 6:
Wyoming completed only 5 of 20 passes.
Wyoming converted 1-12 on third down.
Illinois outgained them, 477-212.
— Orioles 3, Astros 1— Road team has won the last eight Baltimore-Houston games.
— Why some teams lose more than others:
10 years ago, Jacksonville drafted a punter in the third round; the guy (Bryan Anger) is still in the NFL, but lasted only four years with the Jaguars.
Meanwhile, Seattle took a guy five picks after the Jaguars drafted a punter, a guy named Russell Wilson. Quarterback. Hall of Famer.
Thats why Seattle has won for the last decade, and Jacksonville has mostly lost.
— Nevada 23, New Mexico State 12:
New Mexico State put in freshman backup QB Gavin Frakes in the second half, and he was 9-13 for 143 yards in his college debut. TV analyst Andre Ware was raving about him.
The starting QB threw three INT’s; Aggies turned ball over five times. I’m guessing Frakes is their new starting QB.
Kid was supposed to go to Princeton, but his dad played ball at New Mexico State, so he wound up in Las Cruces instead.
Toa Tuau ran the ball for 109 yards for Nevada.
— Mike Ford has had an interesting baseball season; this is his 4th year in the major leagues, and he’s been a busy guy.
16 games (29 AB’s) with Seattle
1 game (4 AB’s) with San Francisco
5 games (8 AB’s) with Atlanta
Now, 3 games (11 AB’s) with the Angels.
He also hit .248 with a .380 on-base %age in AAA this year, in 118 AB’s.
He must be very good at packing.
— Ravens 17, Commanders 15— Baltimore has now won 23 consecutive pre-season games (20-3 ATS) but they didn’t cover this game.
— Florida State 47, Duquesne 7— Seminoles win their season opener for first time in six years; of course, they played better teams than I-AA Duquesne those other years.
— San Diego Padres recently signed P Joe Musgrove to a 5-year, $100M contract extension; the problem is, since late June, in 12 starts, he is 0-6, 4.86, not exactly what they had in mind when they gave him $20M a year.
— Titans 26, Cardinals 23— Rookie QB Malik Willis was 15-23/131 passing; he ran the ball four times for 79 yards. Ryan Tannehill is going to start the season as Tennessee’s QB, but you have to think Willis will get the starting nod at some point.
— Vanderbilt 63, Hawai’i 10— Game was only 21-10 at halftime, but Commodores dominated the second half- they ran the ball for 404 yards.
Rough day for the Mountain West, with Hawai’i getting smoked, Wyoming getting pounded- their teams went 1-3 ATS. At least UNLV looked good in their opener, whacking I-AA Idaho State 52-21. Lefty QB Brumfield was 21-25/356 passing, with four TD’s.
UNLV plays the Cal Bears next; that’ll be a much tougher game.
