**********

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

13) North Carolina 71, Gonzaga 65— Ton of missed shots led to a game with lot of whistles; both teams shot under 36% for the game. Zags had the lead in last 2:00- they missed an awful lot of shots in the paint. Tar Heels win a title this year, after losing at the buzzer LY. As for Gonzaga, they had a great season that had a disappointing ending.

12) 25 guys on the San Diego Padres’ Opening Day roster make a total of $28.13M this season. Clayton Kershaw makes $33M, all by himself.

11) Dodgers and Detroit Tigers have baseball’s highest payrolls this season.

10) Indians play in Arizona this weekend, which means no DH; I’m hoping they use Carlos Santana in the outfield for a game; then he becomes eligible in the outfield all season for my fantasy team. Would be a big help to the Armadillos.

9) Eagles and Redskins are only teams that will be playing both Rams/Chargers in Los Angeles this season; Eagles would like those games in consecutive weeks.

8) Cincinnati Bengals haven’t opened a season at home since 2009; they want to open at home this season.

7) Duke has had two basketball players transfer since their season ended two weeks ago; it is not a good optic. It almost seems like that if you’re not good enough to jump to the NBA or start for the Blue Devils, then they tell you to take a hike.

6) First meal when I got to Las Vegas: Steak ’n Shake. Tastes good and doesn’t cost much. Also had my first-ever chicken quesadilla Monday night- it will not be my last one.

5) This 10-day disabled list in baseball is going to take some getting used to- has been 15 days for a long time— it was 21 before that.

4) Rangers’ SS Elvis Andrus learned English by listening to Rascal Flatts songs. Really, he did.

3) Oklahoma City Thunder is 31-9 when Russell Westbrook gets a triple/double, 13-24 when he does not.

2) Since 1970, most pitches thrown in an Opening Day start: Jack Morris (144) 1992, Roger Clemens (135) 1988, Randy Johnson (133) 2000 and 2001.

1a) North Carolina won the national title in men’s basketball.
1b) South Carolina won the women’s national title.
1c) Coastal Carolina’s cheerleaders were suspended after they were anonymously accused of being involved in a prostitution ring, amongst other things.

Big year in the Carolinas. Oy.

**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Happy Hump Day, America…….

13) Tony Romo retired Tuesday and will now work on CBS with Jim Nantz on their #1 NFL broadcasting team. There are rumors he will also do some work on CBS golf telecasts, seeing as how he is a scratch golfer.

12) North Carolina Tar Heels got zero #1 votes in the preseason Top 25 poll- they won the national championship. Wonder if they’ll get any #1 votes next preseason.

11) Washington Wizards are 47-31, most games they’ve won since 1979. Good for Scott Brooks, who got a bum deal in Oklahoma City.

10) Minnesota Timberwolves’ star Karl Anthony Towns is younger than all ten players who started in the Gonzaga-UNC game Monday night.

9) I don’t give a rat’s ass about who wins MVP in any sport; it does not matter. You listen to some people talk about the NBA, and they talk more about individuals than teams. Winning and losing are all that truly matter; that and effort. Too much talk about individuals.

8) San Diego Padres have a payroll of roughly $71M this season, but over half of that is to players who are now on other teams.

7) Portland/Denver are tied in loss column for #8 playoff spot in the West. Celtics/Cavaliers are tied for first in the Eastern Conference. Miami trails Indiana by a half-game for the 8th and final playoff spot in the East.

6) College basketball coaching changes:
a) Joe Pasternack (Arizona ass’t) takes over at Cal-Santa Barbara.
b) Lamont Paris (Wisconsin ass’t) takes over at Chattanooga.
c) CB McGrath (North Carolina ass’t) takes over at NC-Wilmington.
d) Matt Figger (South Carolina ass’t) takes over at Austin Peay.

5) It is funny that Georgetown paid a search firm to find their new basketball coach; Patrick Ewing is the best player in Georgetown history- couldn’t have been that difficult to identify him.

4) NHL players are unhappy that the league won’t set time aside for players to compete in the Olympics next winter.

3) Quote of the Day, part 2, from Klay Thompson, a great “outside” shooter:
“I’d probably say the weather’s gotten better. The sunshine has been so good to me. … It just puts me in a great mood to come to the gym every day, get my work in, go home, enjoy it — the outdoors. The Bay Area is beautiful. That’s a big part of it — not even kidding.”

2) If the NBA playoffs started this morning (they do not), matchups would be:
East
Indiana/Cleveland, Chicago/Boston, Atlanta/Toronto, Milwaukee/Washington

West
Portland/Golden State, Memphis/San Antonio, Oklahoma City/Houston, Clippers/Utah.

1— Tony Romo earned $127,422,458 in salary during his NFL career; curious to see how he does behind a microphone. I know he’ll like announcing better on Monday mornings, when he wakes up and isn’t sore all over from getting hit all day Sunday.

Column: Greed and power are winners in Olympic battle
April 5, 2017

Some of the best hockey players in the world won't be there, at least those of the male variety.

The best women will, though that hardly serves as consolation for both NBC and organizers of the upcoming Olympics in South Korea.

There's finally some clarity to the Olympic hockey competition, after weeks of anxious negotiations on the part of the women and apparently no negotiations for the superstar NHL players who are now facing the very real possibility they won't be wearing national uniforms in February.

Or maybe there isn't, at least on the part of the men. Several players believe the NHL is bluffing about its decision not to participate, even though the league said there will be no new negotiations with Olympic officials.

''I think the situation was the same before Sochi,'' Alex Ovechkin said. ''They try to do some deals. ... I'm pretty sure everything is going to be fine. They just want to (make) some big story about it.''

The big story as it stands is that the NHL will not shut down for three weeks as it has done in recent Olympics so players can skate for their countries. The reasons given weren't exactly clear, but what is clear is that the NHL wanted more for interrupting its season than Olympic or International Ice Hockey Federation officials were willing to give.

That sets up a potentially messy situation early next year if some players decide to risk the wrath of the league and play anyway, as Ovechkin has threatened to do.

''It's the biggest opportunity in your life to play in the Olympic Games,'' the Washington Capitals star said. ''Somebody going to tell me I don't go. I don't care, I just go.''

As so often happens in these types of affairs, the culprits are greed and power. As so often happens in these kinds of affairs, the fans are the bigger losers.

Shortsighted, yes. But don't put anything past a group of owners who canceled an entire season a few years back to show the players who really is in charge.

Imagine the Russian team without Ovechkin, or the Canadians without Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby, whose overtime goal in 2010 in the gold medal game in Vancouver was better than anything in Olympic hockey since a motley band of American college players upset the Soviet Union team in Lake Placid in 1980.

''Growing up, watching Sweden in the Olympics and the men's hockey, our whole high school stood still,'' Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog said. ''Olympics, that's what a lot of kids dream about.''

They also dream about making millions of dollars, something that can't be done without the cooperation of the NHL. And there's no reason to believe the league will allow some players to take a leave of absence to play for their flag and country at a time teams are fighting for playoff seeding.

There's no winner here, though the real losers are the fans who love the idea of stars playing for their country as much as they love their favorite NHL team. They will be deprived of the best hockey at the Olympics, which have featured pro players since the 1998 games in Japan.

The NHL's decision clearly angered players, who rejected an offer by the league last year to carve out space for the Olympics if players would agree to extend their collective bargaining agreement for another three years. The NHLPA said in a statement that players are ''extraordinarily disappointed and adamantly disagree with the NHL's shortsighted decision.''

Barring a reversal by the NHL, though, player options are limited. Though Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said he would be fine with letting Ovechkin and other players go, the league as a whole isn't going to tolerate star players leaving during the middle of the season.

The biggest wild card might be to see how NBC reacts. The network - which has billions invested in both the Olympics and the NHL - issued a statement saying it was confident there would be enough good players for the Olympics, but took no public side in the dispute.

At least NBC will be able to showcase the best women's hockey players, something that was in doubt before the U.S. women ended a brief holdout last week in a bid to make enough money to live on. They don't make much more than NHL players get in meal money in the new deal, but at least they will be in uniform in Pyeongchang.

Right now that's about the only certain thing about hockey in the Olympics.

**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud……

13) Dustin Johnson fell down a flight of stairs Wednesday, is a ???? for The Masters today, which wreaked havoc with odds here in Las Vegas, and also in my golf pool. Hope he is OK; Wednesday was a rainy day in Augusta; otherwise Johnson would’ve been at the Par 3 tournament they usually have the day before the tournament starts.

12) People who paid to see the Par 3 tournament (some as much as $1,800) were out of luck Wednesday. I’m assuming they gave out refunds, but I couldn’t find anything that said one way or the other if that happened.

11) Del Mar Deli by the SouthPoint sports book has superior pizza; they also have Dr Brown’s soda, which isn’t easy to find. If you’re looking for an excellent place to stay in Las Vegas that is a little more casual than some places, SouthPoint would be a great choice.

This weekend: bowling tournaments and a cheerleading competition are here. Oy.

10) Akron hired former Ohio U/Illinois coach John Grace to replace Keith Dambrot, who is now the coach at Duquesne.

9) Memphis Tigers lost two of their top three scorers when the Lawson brothers bolted with their father to a school to be named- the dad was a program assistant. Lawsons were two of Memphis’ top three scorers, so their talent pool takes a big hit, but you get the idea reading between the lines that chemistry-wise, this could be addition by subtraction.

8) Cubs are batting their pitcher 8th again this spring, which is Joe Maddon playing mind games with his competitors. If he really thought this was a good idea, they would’ve done it during the playoffs- thats when you show your hand as to what your best strategy is.

Seriously, other teams batted their pitcher 8th last year and their managers basically didn’t have any good reason to do it, other than, “…well (Tony) LaRussa and Maddon did it.”

7) Rumors on the Interweb say Jeb Bush may buy the Miami Marlins; hey, it worked for his brother, who once owned the Texas Rangers before becoming President.

6) Cleveland’s Tristan Thompson didn’t play last night, missing his first NBA game since February 10, 2012, when he was a rookie- he had played in 447 consecutive games.

5) Last guy to win The Masters in his first try? Fuzzy Zoeller, in 1979.

4) Bartolo Colon made his MLB 20 years ago for Cleveland, against an Angels’ team managed by Terry Collins. Colon pitched against the Mets last nite, managed by Terry Collins.

3) Astros 5, Mariners 3 (13)— Seattle went to Houston, scored total of five runs in losing their first three games of the season. Mariners led 3-2 in 13th inning before George Springer hit a 3-run walk-off tater. If you had Seattle and the under (7.5), not your finest hour.

2) Masters prop bets: Which par-5 hole will yield the most birdies this weekend?
13th hole: 7-5, 15th hole: 2-1, 2nd hole: 2-1, 8th hole: 4-1.

1— Which par-3 hole will yield the most birdies?
16th hole: 2-7, 12th hole: 13-5, 6th hole: 14-5, 4th hole: 20-1.
