Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Brad Crawford of Saturdaydownsouth.com ranked the six best QBs in the SEC:

6) Kyle Allen, Texas A&M-- Could get competition from Kyler Murray.

5) Brice Ramsey, Georgia-- Brian Schottenheimer is Dawgs' new play-caller.

4) Jeremy Johnson, Auburn-- Should fit right in with Malzahn's offense.

3) Joshua Dobbs, Tennessee-- Vols are a team on the rise.

2) Brandon Allen, Arkansas-- This will be his third year as starting QB.

1) Dak Prescott, Mississippi State-- Should have a big senior season.

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.......

13) Tom Brady gets four games off, Patriots lose two draft picks, one in first round, they get fined $1M, but this isn't going away quickly-- wouldn't be too surprised if this case wound up in the US Supreme Court.

12) I guess Robert Kraft won't be getting an apology from the league.

11) These are the Patriots' first four games:
-- Week 1: Steelers
-- Week 2: at Buffalo
-- Week 3: Jacksonville
-- Week 4: bye
-- Week 5: at Dallas

10) Only a conspiracy theorist would point out that the Patriots' fifth game, the one Brady is now expected to return for, is in Indianaapolis, against the Colts, on a Sunday night on NBC, against the same team that was involved in the DeflateGate game in January. Surely a coincidence.

9) Joe Sheehan of Sports Illustrated pointed out something; Brady doesn't get paid for four weeks, Patriots get fined $1M, but Brady makes a lot more than that in four weeks of play, so the Patriots actually make money on the deal.

Elsewhere in the world.........
8) Hooters Casino in Las Vegas sold for $53.8M last week; it had the smallest sportsbook I've been in- new owners are expected to change the name, but the Hooters restaurant inside the casino is expected to stay.

7) Houston Astros promoted their big shortstop prospect Carlos Correa to AAA, which makes you think he might get to Houston before starting SS Jed Lowrie's thumb heals sometime in July.

6) Disappointed to hear Monday that CBS cancelled the TV show CSI after 15 years on the air- its one of my two favorite TV shows of all-time.

5) Baltimore Orioles scored in first inning in eight of 11 games in Camden Yards this season, only four of 19 games away from home.

4) Every day this week is the same backwards as it is forward; for example.....
5/10/15 is 51015 backwards.....5/11/15 is 51115 and so on.......

3) Rumor has Florida State as the favorite to land Everett Golson as its new QB, as they try and replace Jameis Winston.

2) If you're wodering why the Rockets were fouling DeAndre Jordan all the time in Game 4, this is why: Clippers are +76 with Jordan on the floor, -8 when he is off the floor in their four games with Houston so far. Rockets were hoping 18 missed foul shots would get Doc Rivers to sit Jordan, but it did not.

1) NCAA has too darn many rules; Jim Harbaugh donated a signed helmet, jersey to a family who lost a child to suicide- the items were auctioned off to help fund a scholarship in the young person's name-- but that is a secondary violation of NCAA rules, a minor violation but it against the rules and that is pretty damn sad. Shrink the rulebook, people.
