Tuesday’s quiz
In the history of the Arizona Diamondbacks, what pitcher has the most wins?
Monday’s quiz
Of all the baseball players who have played since 1970, Manny Ramirez had the most RBI in a single season- he knocked in 165 runs in 1999.
Sunday’s quiz
Steph Curry’s father Dell scored 12,670 points in his NBA career; he played his college basketball at Virginia Tech, which didn’t recruit Steph Curry. Whoops.
************************************************
Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but……..
— Here’s a tip; don’t bet on exhibition games, in any sport. The teams don’t care who wins, they’re just taking a look at players to fill their roster with.
I tell this story once a year:
Long time ago, maybe 2010 or 2011, I’m at the NBA’s Las Vegas Summer League. Great event to go to if you like the NBA, the two arenas are air conditioned, lot of games all day, lot of famous NBA people are around, and when the games are over, you’re still in Las Vegas.
You can bet on games in the NBA Summer League. Think the limit was $500, but still……
I’m sitting there with my friend Dennis, who is a professional gambler. Two guys sit in front of us in the smaller gym at UNLV, which seats around 3,000 people. One of the guys was huge, had to be some kind of body builder. He is bragging to his friend how he made “a great bet” on this game, since the casino he was staying at “posted a bad line” on this game.
Oy.
Team A had won its game the day before by 20-25 points, Team B lost its game the day before, but the line was basically a pick ‘em, so Mr Body Builder thought he had a sure thing.
One small problem; Team A, the team that won the day before, played different guys in this game then they did the day before. It is Summer League; they’re there to see the young guys play, so most everyone gets a chance to play.
The game starts, and Team B gets off a fast start and Mr Body Builder goes on tilt before the first quarter is over. I was going to tap him on the shoulder and explain the deal, but then I realized the phrase “they kill the messenger” was in play here, so Dennis and I moved over to a seat in a different section.
Moral of the Story: Las Vegas casinos don’t post bad lines on games.
— Trayce Thompson is trying to make the Red Sox as a backup OF; he’s played in 369 big league games over seven seasons for five different teams. He hit 23 homers in AAA ball last year.
However, Trayce Thompson is, at best, the 3rd-best athlete in his family; Klay Thompson is his brother- he’s scored over 16,000 points and won four NBA titles in his great basketball career.
His father is Mychal Thompson, who scored 12,810 points in his 12-year career, playing for three different teams. He was the first player taken in the 1978 NBA Draft.
Another brother, Mychel Thompson, played five games for the Cavaliers in 2012.
— Dodgers’ OF Michael Conforto also has good genes; his father played football at Penn State, his mother won an Olympic gold medal and a silver medal in synchronized swimming in 1984 and 1988.
— Imagine being a really good college pitcher when the amateur draft happens, and you get drafted by the Colorado Rockies. You must go puke right? What pitcher wants to play for a cheap team that plays in very high altitude, so your stats will never be very good?
— New York Mets have 12 players this season who are earning $10M+ in 2025.
Miami Marlins have one; Sandy Alcantara; they’re also paying Avasail Garcia $12M, but Garcia is a free agent right now, isn’t on anyone’s roster.
— Lakers are 6-2 when Luka Doncic is in their lineup.
Big night for the Lakers Tuesday; Lebron James has 49,999 points- he’ll go over 50,000 when the Lakers host the New Orleans Pelicans.
— Former Cowboys/Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson retired from the NFL pre-game show he was on for the last 31 years; Johnson won a college national title with the Miami Hurricanes, won two Super Bowls in Dallas. He is 81 years old now.

Quote of the Day
“I don’t understand why we are not teaching our officials to call travel in this league. They do a great job and work their tails off and communicate well, but I see five or six travels a game that aren’t called…….the entire game is based on footwork. We need to enforce traveling violations and we are not doing it and I don’t understand why.”
Steve Kerr

— Rough week for the Dallas Mavericks and their fans; not only are the Lakers thriving with Luka Doncic in their lineup, but 32-year old Kyrie Irving tore his ACL Monday and is out for the season. Irving is the only player this season averaging 20+ ppg, shooting 40%+ on the arc and 90%+ from the foul line.
As if that wasn’t enough, Mavericks also raised their ticket prices 8.6% for next year.
— Super Bowl champion Eagles signed RB Saquon Barkley to a 2-year, $41.2M contract extension that makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history.
Happy birthday to former Eagles/Saints DB Joe Scarpati; in 1970, he was the holder for Tom Dempsey’s 63-yard field goal, which for a long time was the longest FG in NFL history.
— Dallas Cowboys signed DT Osa Odighizuwa to a 4-year, $80M contract, with $58M of that money guaranteed. Odighizuwa would’ve made $25.1M in 2025 had the Cowboys put the franchise tag on him.
— For second year in a row, Cincinnati Bengals placed the franchise tag on WR Tee Higgins; he’ll make a guaranteed $26.2M next season. Higgins caught 73 passes for 911 yards and ten touchdowns for the Bengals last year.
— Milwaukee Brewers signed 36-year old P Jose Quintana for one year, $4.25M; he was 10-10, 3.75 in 31 starts for the Mets last season.

Quote of the Day
“I don’t understand why we are not teaching our officials to call travel in this league. They do a great job and work their tails off and communicate well, but I see five or six travels a game that aren’t called…….the entire game is based on footwork. We need to enforce traveling violations and we are not doing it and I don’t understand why.”
Steve Kerr

— Rough week for the Dallas Mavericks and their fans; not only are the Lakers thriving with Luka Doncic in their lineup, but 32-year old Kyrie Irving tore his ACL Monday and is out for the season. Irving is the only player this season averaging 20+ ppg, shooting 40%+ on the arc and 90%+ from the foul line.
As if that wasn’t enough, Mavericks also raised their ticket prices 8.6% for next year.
— Super Bowl champion Eagles signed RB Saquon Barkley to a 2-year, $41.2M contract extension that makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history.
Happy birthday to former Eagles/Saints DB Joe Scarpati; in 1970, he was the holder for Tom Dempsey’s 63-yard field goal, which for a long time was the longest FG in NFL history.
— Dallas Cowboys signed DT Osa Odighizuwa to a 4-year, $80M contract, with $58M of that money guaranteed. Odighizuwa would’ve made $25.1M in 2025 had the Cowboys put the franchise tag on him.
— For second year in a row, Cincinnati Bengals placed the franchise tag on WR Tee Higgins; he’ll make a guaranteed $26.2M next season. Higgins caught 73 passes for 911 yards and ten touchdowns for the Bengals last year.
— Milwaukee Brewers signed 36-year old P Jose Quintana for one year, $4.25M; he was 10-10, 3.75 in 31 starts for the Mets last season.
— Orioles closer Félix Bautista pitched a scoreless inning in an exhibition game Monday, the first time he was in a game since August, 2023, 556 days in between games.

Quote of the Day
“I talked to them this offseason about that (playing in OF). Just in case a guy was available [at first] that we needed to have, needed to get. I’d be more than open to it, if we had a guy like that who was going to change our lineup or change the demeanor of our team. They like me at first base. But I’d go out there to have a guy who was going to play first base and hit 35 or 40 homers.”

— I’m going to sound like an old guy here, which is fine, but there was a great basketball player named Artis Gilmore who led Jacksonville to the Final Four in 1970. Yes, Jacksonville played in a Final Four; they haven’t been in the NCAA Tournament since 1986.
Artis Gilmore was a lefty big man who wound up playing 17 years in the ABA/NBA, scoring 24,941 points. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.
His first eight years as a pro, Gilmore played in EVERY GAME, 84 in his five ABA seasons, 82 in his NBA years. He played 37+ minutes/game in seven of those years, he played 35.1 mpg in that eighth year.
My point is this: today’s NBA players are coddled; the game is softer, travel is way easier. In 1978-79, Gilmore played games on back/back nights 15 times, and four other times, the Bulls played games on three consecutive nights (yes, NBA teams played Fri-Sat-Sun at times back then). And no, teams didn’t have chartered planes back then; they flew commercial.
— There is a college basketball ref, Doug Sirmons. Here is his schedule for the last week or so:
Feb 25- Mississippi State @ Alabama
Feb 26- Vanderbilt @ Texas A&M
Feb 27- UAB @ Wichita State
Feb 28- Iowa @ Northwestern
March 1- Arizona @ Iowa State
March 2- Missouri State @ Drake
March 3- Kansas @ Houston
March 4- Baylor @ TCU
March 5- Colorado @ Texas Tech
Colorado @ Texas Tech was the 103rd game Sirmons has worked this season; that is 103 games in 122 days. No load management for college basketball refs.
— Dallas Cowboys created nearly $57M in salary cap space by re-working the contracts of QB Dak Prescott, WR CeeDee Lamb.
— Chicago Bears have a new head coach, Ben Johnson, who is a QB guru; Bears have already traded for two offensive linemen to protect QB Caleb Williams.
Bears traded a 4th-round pick to Kansas City for G Joe Thuney, a 6th-round pick to the Rams for G Jonah Jackson.
Thuney is 32 years old, has only one year left on his contract; Chiefs were $14M over the salary cap Wednesday morning, they’re $2M under the cap now. In this day and age, that matters.
Jackson signed a 3-year, $51M deal with the Rams last year, but was banged up and played in only four games. Jackson played for the Lions, so he knows Ben Johnson’s system.
— Las Vegas Raiders signed DE Maxx Crosby to a 3-year, $106.5M contract extension; he is now the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history.
$91.5M of that money is guaranteed; he is under contract thru 2029.
— In 10 days, Cubs/Dodgers are playing two games that count in Japan, as Shohei Ohtani plays in his home country, as well as a few other players.
This is where I point out that Major League Baseball should have a Hard Knocks-type program that could take us behind the curtain to events like this, to promote the sport better.
Seems to have worked for the NFL. I’m just sayin’……..
