Quote of the Day
“We’re in the season now. We’ll do recruiting after the season – when it gets to recruiting time we can talk about recruiting.”
Florida football coach Dan Mullen
Tuesday’s quiz
Which two coaches won a Super Bowl coaching the Chiefs?
Monday’s quiz
Bud Grant coached the Vikings for 18 years; he played 96 games for the Minneapolis Lakers (1949-51), scooting 2.6 ppg.
Sunday’s quiz
Dusty Baker was managing the Giants in 2002, last time he managed in a World Series.
Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but……..plus NHL trends
13) Kansas City 20, NY Giants 17:
— Chiefs kicked 34-yard FG with 1:07 left for winning score.
— Giants have been outscored 61-12 in last 2:00 of each half.
— Giants are 23-8 ATS last 31 games as a road underdog.
— penalties: Giants 10-88, Chiefs 12-103
— Chiefs are 0-4 ATS at home this season.
— KC has only two TD’s on its last 18 drives.
— Chiefs turned ball over 19 times in last seven games (-13)
— KC has 29 plays of 20+ yards, their opponents have 38.
12) What have you done for me lately?
TCU fires Gary Patterson? Why? Patterson is the winningest coach in TCU history (181-79), one of the greatest defensive minds of the modern era, creating a defense that was effective at shutting down air raid-type offenses that are so popular now.
“We’re with you win or tie, but we’re not that crazy about ties”
Thats basically how these programs act; Texas/Oklahoma are bolting for the SEC, so schools like TCU, Texas Tech will slide down the national ladder- they’re desperate for attention so they can recruit the better players in talent-rich Texas. Players win games, no doubt about that.
Would enjoy hearing Patterson as a TV analyst; am guessing he has a lot to say.
11) Four teams in AFC South have played 20 non-divisional games this season; they’ve been the underdog in 18 of those 20 games.
10) Jets QB Mike White threw for 405 yards, three TD’s in his first NFL start Sunday; he is the first QB since 1950 to throw for 400+ yards, 3+ TD’s in his first NFL start. Is the Jets QB of the future White or Zach Wilson? Jets could rake in some draft capital by trading the other one, and there are teams who desperately need a quarterback moving forward.
9) With 4:30 left Saturday night., Ole Miss is trailing Auburn 31-20; they have 4th down around the Auburn 18 or 20 yard line. They’re down 11 points, they need two scores. Kick the FG.
But Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin doesn’t think the way most people think; he goes for the first down and eventual TD, instead of the easy FG- they don’t get the first down, and the game was essentially over right there and then.
8) Ole Miss plays Liberty this week; visiting Flames are 7-2, led by former Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze, who went 42-26 in five years coaching the Rebels, winning the 2015 Sugar Bowl.
Freeze wound up quitting at Ole Miss because he used his school-issued cellphone to call escort services. Lesson of the Day, kids: if you’re going to call an escort service, use your own phone, not the one your employer is paying for.
7) NFL updates:
— Titans RB Derrick Henry (foot) is out 6-10 weeks.
— Saints QB Jameis Winston tore his ACL, is out for the year.
— Rams traded 2nd/3rd round picks to Denver, for LB Von Miller.
6) 27-year old WR Cyril Grayson caught a TD pass for Tampa Bay Sunday; he never played college football, he was a track sprinter at LSU. Grayson has bounced around NFL practice squads the last four years; he caught 8 TD passes as a senior in high school— Sunday was his first touchdown since then.
5) Cooper Rush was the winning QB for Dallas in Minnesota Sunday night; he is making $920,000 this year to be the Cowboys’ backup QB. Kirk Cousins is making $31M from the Vikings this season.
4) 68 teams have been up 3-2 in a World Series; those teams are 45-23 in those series.
3) Alabama has been one of the dominant teams in college football for a while now, but Sunday was Nick Saban’s 70th birthday; good luck to the athletic director who has to pick the coach who takes Saban’s place- that will likely happen sooner than later. Schools will start using Saban’s age against him in recruiting; similar thing happened to Bear Bryant back in the day.
He is such an excellent coach; the guy who replaces him has huge shoes to fill.
2) Late Saturday night, BYU beat Virginia 66-49; game ended at 1:55am here in the East. Cavaliers led this game 42-38 at halftime.
Virginia QB Armstrong, who has thrown for 3,557 yards, 27 TD’s this year, left this game late with an apparent rib injury. Cavaliers have this week off, host Notre Dame November 13.
1) RIP to former big league 2B Jerry Remy, who passed away this week at age 68. Remy had cancer for several years; he hit .275 in a 10-year playing career for Angels/Red Sox.
After his playing days, Remy gained notoriety as a TV analyst on Red Sox games; the team of Remy and play-by-play guy Don Orsillo was television gold- they were so great together, lot of laughter and good natured banter. RIP, sir.

Monday’s quiz

********************************
Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings…….plus NBA trends
13) Two separate questions, not necessarily the same answer.
— Who is the best QB in NFL history?
— Which QB in NFL history has accomplished the most?
— Undoubtedly, Tom Brady has accomplished the most of any QB ever; seven Super Bowl titles, 600+ TD passes, you know the drill. His resume is indeed the best ever.
— But if they had a draft of every NFL player ever, with every player in his prime (real football, not fantasy football) who would you take first? Brady? Elway? Marino? Montana? Joe Pisarcik?
Lot easier to play QB now; they can’t get hit very much. Guys long time ago got pummeled by defenders, which is why careers were shorter. It is an interesting debate, for sure.
Myself, Elway would be my pick in that draft.
12) College football loses me a little with how they choose their playoff system with a poll; there is no way on God’s green earth that Cincinnati is the #6 team in the country, but money talks, so Alabama is #2, even with a loss. Oregon is #4, with a loss
11) Knicks played Toronto Tuesday nite, a commemoration of the NBA’s first-ever game 75 years ago. Knicks beat the Toronto Huskies 68-66 that night.
Back when I actually had a job, I worked for the Division of Criminal Justice for NY State; at one point, we had a deputy commissioner named Paul Schectman. Never met the guy, but saw him around the building— he is a lawyer in New York City now.
Turns out that his dad, Ossie Schectman, played in that New York-Toronto game, the first game in NBA history; he scored 11 points for the Knicks.
I remember someone telling me that way back when; I was skeptical, but it is true, Must be cool to be a part of history like that.
10) Russell Wilson had the pin removed from his injured finger, hopes to play next week, when the Seahawks visit Lambeau Field. Wilson played his senior year of college at Wisconsin.
9) Los Angeles Rams haven’t had a first-round draft pick since 2016; they don’t have another one until 2024- they trade draft picks to acquire proven, veteran players.
Rams only have four selections for the 2022 Draft, though they’ll pick up compensatory picks when guys like Von Miller move on in free agency. Interesting plan; they’ve had four winning seasons in a row, going on five, so it is working.
Used to know a guy who mocked me because I love to watch the draft; not sure why he cared what I did, but for some reason it bugged him. NFL is a multi-billion dollar business, and there are many different ways to approach it. Guess that is why it is so interesting to me.
8) Atlanta Hawks/Washington Wizards combined to go 45-45 on the foul lime the other night, only third time that has happened, with both teams taking 10+ shots, and making them all.
Shooting is in vogue in the NBA now, thanks in large part to the Curry/Thompson Warriors, and that is a good thing.
7) Circa Casino in Las Vegas has a survivor pool; pick one team a week, as long as they win, you stay in— think you can only pick the same team once a year.
There are 1,188 people left in the Circa pool; 871 people bit the dust when the Bengals lost in New Jersey Sunday. Lot of money at stake, interesting contest.
6) San Diego Padres starting playing baseball in 1969; Bob Melvin will be their 22nd manager. During that same time, Pittsburgh Steelers have had three head coaches.
5) At one point in 2007, Kirk Cousins, Nick Foles, Brian Hoyer were all QB’s at Michigan State; 14 years later, all three of them are still in the NFL. Foles wound up transferring to Arizona; hard to believe he didn’t get traded this week. He is better than some QB’s who are starting.
4) In a perfect world, the NFL would have no taunting penalties. None. Ever. Just run the play clock as soon as each play ends; if guys show off too much and their team gets a delay of game penalty, their coach will take care of it.
3) Minnesota Gophers are 6-2 this season, winning their last four games since they lost 14-10 at home to Bowling Green, as a 30-point favorite. Minnesota ran ball for 634 yards in their last two games. Good coaching job by PJ Fleck, keeping his team on track after such a hideous loss.
2) Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach went off on a tangent about Halloween candy last week (he doesn’t like candy corn); it led to an extended debate about everyone’s likes/dislike about candy, which was great. Good natured banter; we agreed to disagree.
Healthy debate without the hate; we need more of that in our world.

********************************
Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings…….plus NBA trends
13) Two separate questions, not necessarily the same answer.
— Who is the best QB in NFL history?
— Which QB in NFL history has accomplished the most?
— Undoubtedly, Tom Brady has accomplished the most of any QB ever; seven Super Bowl titles, 600+ TD passes, you know the drill. His resume is indeed the best ever.
— But if they had a draft of every NFL player ever, with every player in his prime (real football, not fantasy football) who would you take first? Brady? Elway? Marino? Montana? Joe Pisarcik?
Lot easier to play QB now; they can’t get hit very much. Guys long time ago got pummeled by defenders, which is why careers were shorter. It is an interesting debate, for sure.
Myself, Elway would be my pick in that draft.
12) College football loses me a little with how they choose their playoff system with a poll; there is no way on God’s green earth that Cincinnati is the #6 team in the country, but money talks, so Alabama is #2, even with a loss. Oregon is #4, with a loss
