Quote of the Day
“Extremely magical when you really think about it. What’s more important about all of it is you’ve got MVP candidates on our corners, you’ve got Yadi and Waino chasing 325 [starts together], you’ve got 700 from Albert, and they never made it about themselves. They always pointed toward winning and taking a step toward a championship. That tells you a lot about the character and the culture of this club.”
Cardiinals’ manager Oliver Marmol

Wednesday’s quiz
Where did Lamar Jackson play his college football?

Tuesday’s quiz

Thursday’s 6-pack

According to Field of 68, the top 6 college hoop teams for this season.
6) Kansas
5) Kentucky
4) Baylor
3) Gonzaga
2) North Carolina
1) Houston

Quote of the Day
“I’m not worried about Carson (Wentz). Carson’s going to bounce back. He’s a very resilient young man. And I loved his press conference, accepting responsibility. And he put it on himself and he tried to make sure everybody understood that this is a team game, we’re all culpable. And I don’t disagree with him. We are all culpable, myself included.”
Washington coach Ron Rivera

Thursday’s quiz
Who was the Steelers’ starting QB before they drafted Ben Roethlisberger?

Wednesday’s quiz
Lamar Jackson played his college football at Louisville.

Tuesday’s quiz
When the ABA folded in 1976, Pacers, Nuggets, Spurs, Nets were absorbed by the NBA.

*******************************

Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud…….

— Thru three weeks, underdogs are 27-19-2 ATS in the NFL; under is 29-18-1.

Home underdogs are 14-9-1 ATS.

— NL East is the only divisional race still in doubt;
Mets 5, Marlins 4 (10)— Eduardo Escobar knocked in all five runs for the Mets.

Nationals 3, Braves 2 (10)— CJ Abrams had the walk-off hit. Mets have a one-game lead over Atlanta; teams play three times in Atlanta this weekend, weather permitting.

— Braves don’t have a sacrifice bunt this season, the only team since 1955 to do that (excluding the shortened 2020 season). Previous low for sacrifice bunts in a full season is four.

— Marlins have a backup catcher Nick Fortes: he has been the Marlins’ DH 12 times this year, and went 1-39 in those games, with six walks. Not good.

— Marlins are the only major league team that has never had a player hit for the cycle.

— We send prayers out to the people in Florida who are in the way of that terrible storm; the people broadcasting from Florida on the Weather Channel were actually wearing baseball batting helmets when they were on the air.

Not sure why people have to be outside in conditions like that, but they were.

— Some college football games have been affected by the storm:
East Carolina at South Florida was moved from Tampa to Miami.

Eastern Washington-Florida game was moved from Saturday night to Sunday at noon.

SMU-Central Florida game has been moved from Saturday to Sunday at 1pm.

South Carolina-SC State game was moved up from Saturday at noon to Thursday night.

Wake Forest-Florida State game is still scheduled to be played 3:30 Saturday in Tallahassee.

— In the NFL, Tennessee Titans have been outscored 57-7 in second half of their first three games.

— Arizona Cardinals have been outscored 56-13 in the first half of games; they’ve converted only 12 of 43 third down plays this season.

— Bill Belichick’s all-time coaching record: 322-158, one of the all-time greats.
Belichick’s record with someone other than Tom Brady at QB: 73-83.

— Patriots’ QB Mac Jones has a high ankle sprain, which medical people on TV say is a multi-week injury. Brian Hoyer is New England’s backup QB; he is in his 13th season, is 16-23 as an NFL starter. Hoyer’s last win came in 2016, for the Bears (0-14 as a starter since then)

— Since the start of the 2021 season, NFL teams with the worst record in games decided by 8 or fewer points:

0-7 Buffalo
0-6-1 Houston
2-8-1 Detroit
3-8 Carolina

— Before the season, if you had the Eagles/Dolphins as the NFL’s only unbeaten teams thru three weeks, then you should go buy a lottery ticket.

Friday’s 6-pack

According to Field of 68, the top 6 mid-major college hoop teams for this season.
— Alabama-Birmingham
— North Texas
— Drake
— Furman
— Western Kentucky
— Toledo

Quote of the Day
“He’s trash. Overhyped. Overrated. He plays like a high school player. Runs around, runs backward, he does a circle, the ballerina circle, then goes left, goes right, turns all the way around again, then looks for a wide receiver. That’s not how you play quarterback.”
Former NFL running back LeSean McCoy, talking about Kyler Murray

Friday’s quiz
Which former college QB has hit the most career home runs for the Colorado Rockies?

Thursday’s quiz
Tommy Maddox was the Steelers’ starting QB before they drafted Ben Roethlisberger.

Wednesday’s quiz
Lamar Jackson played his college football at Louisville.

*************************

Friday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here……

Bengals 27, Dolphins 15

— Cincy allowed only four TD’s on 46 drives this season.
— Bengals outscored opponents 48-15 in second half this year.
— Cincy converted 8-15 on third down, Miami 2-10.
— McPherson made a 57-yard FG to put Bengals up, 20-15.
— Burrow averaged 9.2 yards/pass attempt.

— Miami QB Tagovailoa suffered head/neck injuries in first half.
— Backup QB Bridgewater threw for 193 yards and a TD.
— Miami in first half: 34 plays, 235 yards, TD, 2-3 on FG’s.
— Miami in second half: 30 plays, 181 yards, one FG.
— Cincinnati outscored Dolphins 13-0 in 4th quarter.

— Pet peeve of mine; NFL needs teams to have three QB’s active for every game; Miami had their #3 QB active for this one, but usually teams don’t. If the starting QB gets hurt early in a game, they’re behind the 8-ball with play calling, since they’re screwed if the #2 QB also gets hurt. Plus it hurts the quality of the product to have teams so cautious.

NFL teams are incredibly rich; keeping one more guy on the active roster to preserve the quality of the product should be no big deal.

— Joe Burrow has already been sacked 16 times this season; Carson Wentz has been sacked 15 times. Detroit’s Jared Goff has only been sacked four times.

— Speaking of the Lions, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was a walk-on QB at North Carolina from 2004-07; he was a Math major in college. 15 years later, he is on a fast track to become an NFL head coach.

BYU 38, Utah State 26
— BYU went up 14-7 on a 34-yard pick-6 in first quarter.
— Game was 17-all at halftime.
— BYU averaged 10 yards per pass attempt.
— Utah State is 12-6 ATS in last 17 non-league games

— Orioles’ 5-3 loss in Boston Thursday clinched a Wild Card spot for Toronto.

— Phillies-Nationals’ doubleheader was switched from Saturday to Friday because of the impending bad weather; teams are still scheduled to play a single game Saturday, but that could turn into a Sunday doubleheader.

— People with the Minnesota Twins were praising the 2023 schedule, when every team will play every other team for the first time. Smaller market teams like the idea of big stars visiting their ballpark at least once every other year.

The flip side of the new schedule is that hitters will face the same pitcher fewer teams from now on, since there will be fewer divisional games. That equates to less offense, which supposedly the powers-that-be don’t want- they want more scoring, which is why the shift is going to be banned starting next year.

— In 2004, Barry Bonds was INTENTIONALLY walked 120 times; in his career he got 688 intentional walks, the equivalent of a whole season of at-bats.

Cubs 2, Phillies 0— Phillies lead Milwaukee by a half-game for the last Wild Card in the NL; they went 0-6 against the 70-86 Cubs this season.

Marlins 4, Brewers 2— Milwaukee led 2-0 in 8th inning but blew the lead, which is why the Phillies are still ahead of them in the standings, with six days left in the season.

— Tampa Bay leads the Orioles by five games with six to play, as they try to sew up the last Wild Card slot in the American League.

— Amazon Prime is a treasure trove of old movies; the other night I’m up at 3am watching Three Days of the Condor, an old Robert Redford movie from 1975. Great movie, with Faye Dunaway. Also watched Crazy Heart that night, an old Jeff Bridges movie about an aging country singer.

As I type this, I’m watching Autumn in New York, with Richard Gere/Wynona Rider. Lot of good stuff on there.
