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

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings…….​

— 2026 NFL season starts officially on Wednesday at 4:00; Tuesday night, Baltimore Ravens backed out of their trade with Las Vegas to acquire pass rusher Maxx Crosby for two first round draft picks.

This is controversial; Crosby had surgery on the meniscus in his left knee on January 8; it was a meniscus repair, not a meniscus trim, so he needs more to recover from the operation, but the Ravens knew this.

— WCC tournament
Gonzaga 79, Santa Clara 68
Zags win WCC tourney for 12th time in the last 14 years,
Gonzaga shot 10-25 on arc; they were down 33-29 at halftime.
Broncos won 13 of their last 16 games; they’ll get in the Field of 68.
This was Santa Clara’s first WCC title game since 2007;

— Horizon tournament
Wright State 66, Detroit 63
Detroit led by 12 with 9:52 left in the game.
Raiders won the regular season title by two games.
Wright State is in the NCAA’s for the first time in four years.
Horizon champ hasn’t been higher than a 14-seed in NCAA’s since 2015.

— CAA tournament
Hofstra 75, Monmouth 69
Hofstra is in the NCAA’s for first time since 2001.
Monmouth led by 6 early in the second half.

— A’s are playing their home games in Sacramento for two more years, before they into their new ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip in 2028, but they are playing six games in Las Vegas in June, three vs Milwaukee, three against the Rockies.
Games will be played at the Las Vegas Aviators’ AAA ballpark, in Summerlin, right by the Red Rock Casino, a few miles northwest of Las Vegas.

— Reds P Hunter Greene will have arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips and loose bodies from this throwing elbow, is expected to be out until at least July.
Last year, Greene was 7-4, 2.76 in 19 starts; the last two years, he is 16-9, 2.76 in 45 starts.

— Movie of the Day: Blue Chips (1994)- A college basketball coach decides to skirt the rules, in order to recruit the players he needs to stay on top of the heap.

Nick Nolte is the coach, Bob Cousy is the school’s athletic director, Mary McDonnell, JT Walsh and Ed O’Neill are also in the movie, as well as a lot of well-known college/pro players/coaches. Rick Pitino coaches one of the teams against Western U. Shaquille O’Neal, Penny Hardaway are two of the players on Nolte’s team.

If you like basketball, you’ve probably already seen this, but if you haven’t, you’ll like it.

Quotes of the Day
“We didn’t do well enough, coaching. We should’ve had him better prepared for the things that happened, and that wouldn’t have happened. I take a lot of responsibility in that.

— One of the most underrated athletes of the last 40 years is Charlie Ward, who won the 1993 Heisman Trophy as a QB at Florida State. Ward didn’t play in the NFL, but he did play 12 years in the NBA, mostly with the Knicks, and these days he’s the basketball coach at Florida A&M in the SWAC. His Rattlers finished 11-7 in the SWAC this year, won their SWAC tourney game 70-60 Wednesday night.

When Rutschman was in high school, he once made a 63-yard field goal.
