Quote of the Day
“I’ve always said I worry about legacy and winning rings more than making money at this moment. We see what’s going on around the league, but at the same time, I’ll never do anything that’s going to hurt us from keeping the great players around me. So it’s kind of teetering around that line.”
Patrick Mahomes

Which Arena Football team did Kurt Warner play for?

Friday’s 6-pack
Major league leaders in batting average:
.371— Luis Arraez, Mia
.340— Elias Diaz, Colo
.332— Ronald Acuna, Atl
.326— Bo Bichette, Tor
.325— Freddie Freeman, LA
.322— Yandy Diaz, TB

Quote of the Day
“Yeah, they value our opinions here. As a player, I feel like a lot of places I’ve gone, you’re told to do things a certain way and you do those things. But here it’s like, they ask a lot of questions. They want to know what you’re thinking, what you want to do more.”
Giants’ TE Darren Waller

Friday’s quiz
In the old TV show The White Shadow, an NBA player retires and coaches a high school team in Los Angeles. Which NBA team did Ken Reeves retire from?

Thursday’s quiz
Kurt Warner played for the Iowa Barnstormers in the Arena League.

Wednesday’s quiz
St Louis Hawks drafted Hall of Fame center Bill Russell in 1956; they traded him to the Celtics for Cliff Hagan and Ed Macauley.

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

Friday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here, plus Week 7 USFL trends……..

— Monday is Memorial Day, but eight major league teams have the day off. Memorial Day and Labor Day used to be big baseball days, doubleheaders and all. Seems strange that when they made the schedule, they have eight teams not playing on a holiday.

— Celtics 110, Heat 97
Boston led 61-44 at halftime.
Butler was held to 14 points.
Miami was minus-7 (16-9) in turnovers.

— Dallas 3, Vegas 2 OT
Five of seven meetings between these teams this year have gone to overtime.
Pavelski scored a power play goal at 3:18 of overtime for the win.
Golden Knights still lead series, 3-1.

— Braves 6, Phillies 5
This was the Phillies’ 50th game this season, just their 4th game vs NL East foes.

— Rockies 7, Marlins 6
Colorado blew a 6-2 lead in the ninth inning.
Rookie SS Tovar had the walk-off single for Colorado.

— Mets 10, Cubs 1
Mets scored first for the 2nd time in their last 18 games.

— Mariners 3, A’s 2
— Seattle had man on first, one out in bottom of 8th. Ty France hits a pop-up to the shortstop, who lets the ball drop and gets the force at second- the runner on first was fast, so this was a smart play.

Seattle scored later in that inning anyway, but at least the A’s did something smart.

— Cardinals 2, Reds 1— St Louis won 13 of its last 18 games.

— Padres 8, Nationals 6
Nationals took lead, scoring five runs in 7th inning.
Odor hit a game-winning 3-run homer in top of the ninth.

— New England Patriots were docked two days of off-season practices after it was found the franchise violated offseason rules, as far as having players spend too much time in meetings during their off-season program.

— There was an article on the Interweb how NBA personnel people weren’t impressed by the prospects at the NBA Combine last week. 39 players wouldn’t even play in the scrimmages they had there.
