Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings…….
“Welcome to the most competitive business in the world.”
Bill O’Brien
Fine line between winning and losing in the NFL, and when teams stop winning, heads will roll, whether it is justified or not.
— Mike Tomlin coached the Steelers for 19 years; he went 201-126-2, 8-12 in playoff games. He won the Super Bowl in his second year in Pittsburgh, 17 years ago. He lost the Super Bowl two years after that. Tomlin never had a losing season (he was 8-8 three times) but he also lost his last seven playoff games, and is now out as head coach of the Steelers.
Steelers are first NFL team ever to lose five playoff games in a row by 10+ points.
— Much like John Harbaugh, who got dumped by the Ravens last week; Harbaugh coached the Ravens for 18 years, went 193-124, 13-11 in playoff games, winning the 2012 Super Bowl. Not sure what happened this season; Ravens made the playoffs six of the last eight years, but now Harbaugh is highly-sought after by other teams.
— Los Angeles Chargers fired their offensive coordinator and offensive line coach after they lost 16-3 at New England Sunday night.
— Philadelphia Eagles demoted their offensive coordinator after they lost 23-19 to the 49ers Sunday; they didn’t fire him, he can stay on the staff in a lesser role, but they’ll have a new guy as offensive coordinator next year.
— Denver Broncos are only the third #1-seed since 1970 to be an underdog in this round of the playoffs:
1971 Vikings were +1 against Dallas
2017 Eagles were +2.5 against the Falcons
— Last six years, #1-seeds went 4-8 ATS in the divisional round of the playoffs.
— Weird stat of the Day: Rams coach Sean McVay is 9-5 in playoff games; those 14 games have been against 14 different teams, and this week it’ll be 15 games against 15 different teams, when the Rams visit Chicago Sunday night.

— Movie of the Day: Absence of Malice (1981)- A Miami prosecutor leaks info to a naive, but well-meaning newspaper reporter that a liquor wholesaler is suspected in the murder of the local longshoreman union president, the wholesaler’s life begins to unravel.
Paul Newman is the wholesaler, Sally Field is the reporter, Wilford Brimley has a small but important role, as does Melinda Dillon.

Brickfest: teams combined to shoot 4-33 on the arc.

Georgetown scored 1.29 ppp and lost; that doesn’t happen much.

I had a parka on over a sweatshirt, and I wasn’t warm. Wearing shorts outside in January in upstate New York is almost never a good idea.

Quote of the Day
“I’m not going to say, ‘Well, we’re going to take a couple of years to figure this out and then we’ll try to compete. I think you try every year. Some years you have the horses to really get there. Some years you don’t, but you try every year, in my view.”
Steelers’ owner Art Rooney II

***********************************************
Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud…….
— Three years ago, 10 NFL teams changed coaches after the season; eight of those ten coaches have already been fired.— Red Sox signed P Ranger Suarez to a five-year, $130M contract; last two years, Suarez was 24-16 in 53 starts for the Phillies. He pitched for Philadelphia for eight years.
— Tuesday, Cardinals continued their house cleaning, dealing 3B Nolan Arenado to Arizona for a minor leaguer; not only that, but St Louis is paying $31M of the $42M Arenado is owed over the next two years.
Arenado will be 35 in April; his OPS the last two years: .719, .666.
— College/minor league sports are off the rails; few days ago, Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola transferred to Oregon. Wednesday, Ducks’ QB Dante Moore announced he’s coming back to school next year, instead of going to the NFL.
Wednesday night, Raiola’s name went back into the transfer portal.
Oy.
— Alabama QB Ty Simpson is going into the NFL Draft; he had NIL offers:
$4M- Ole Miss, Tennessee
$6.5M- Miami…….he turned those offers down.
Jimmy Garoppolo is the Rams’ backup QB; he made $3M this year.
— NBA has games from Europe this week; Thursday, Grizzlies-Magic are playing in Berlin, Sunday, they’re playing in London.
— Wednesday in beautiful upstate New York, it was rainy and in the low 40’s; I go to the grocery store, and as I’m leaving, a 50-ish guy is walking in, wearing a sweatshirt and shorts. I had a parka on over a sweatshirt, and I wasn’t warm. Wearing shorts outside in January in upstate New York is almost never a good idea.
