— QB Jake Bentley will be a grad transfer at Utah next year.

— Raptors 93, Bulls 92— Pascal Siakam scored 22 points.

— Celtics 110, Cavaliers 88— Cavaliers lost seven straight games, 13 of 14.

Quote of the Day:
“I don’t think we’ve seen anything like him. But it also seems that, on a week in and week out basis, there’s a lot of quarterbacks that really are true dual threats that can throw the ball (and) that can run the ball. And also, I think when you have that dual threat and you have all these fly motions, it creates a lot of one-on-one matchups.”
Troy Polamalu, talking about Lamar Jackson

Tuesday’s quiz
Of the 32 NFL stadiums, which two have hosted a World Series game?

Monday’s quiz
Steph Curry played his college basketball at Davidson.

Sunday’s quiz
The first SEC football championship game was played at Legion Field in Birmingham, AL

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

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

13) Spreads for the college football Final Four, December 28:
LSU -12 vs Oklahoma, @ New Orleans
Clemson -1.5 vs Ohio State, @ Glendale, AZ

12) An equipment container that contained some of the Kansas City Chiefs’ shoulder pads, helmets and footballs was not unloaded Saturday and instead “accidentally” found its way to Newark, NJ- the container held the bags of roughly 35 Chiefs players. The container was rushed back to Foxboro; it arrived at the ballpark roughly an hour before gametime Sujday.

If the Chiefs didn’t have the equipment by the time the game started they would have to forfeit the game, which is hard to believe, seeing how it was the featured 4:25 game on CBS.

In a semi-related subject, a Patriots videographer was in Cleveland Sunday, in the press box, filming the Bengals sideline. Guess who New England plays this week?

11) Stephen Strasburg gets 7 years, $245M to stay in Washington; if you’re the agent working on a 3% fee, that $7.35M for him. Not a bad day.

10) ESPN college basketball analyst Jimmy Dykes is different than most analysts; Dykes was a coach and he calls players out like a coach as he watches the game.

Saturday afternoon, a kid on Arizona shied away from diving for a loose ball that led to a Baylor basket; 99% of analysts don’t bother to mention it, but Dykes pointed out that Baylor got an easy layup because their kid out-hustled the Arizona guy for the loose ball. Good analysis.

9) Bad beat of the weekend; Over/under in Pacer-Knick game Saturday night was 209; game was 104-100 with 5:05 left, but wound up 104-103. How do two teams combine for only three points in 5:05 at the end of a close game?

8) Knicks’ interim coach Mike Miller is a different guy than the Mike Miller who played in the NBA; that Mike Miller is one of Penny Hardaway’s assistants at Memphis.

7) NFL stuff:
— Bucs’ QB Jameis Winston has a broken thumb.
— 49ers’ CB Richard Sherman has a Grade 2 hamstring strain.

6) Ole Miss hired Lane Kiffin as its new football coach; here is his resume:
1997-98- assistant coach, Fresno State
1999- Colorado State, grad assistant
2000- Jacksonville Jaguars, quality control coach
2001-06— USC, assistant coach
2007-08- Oakland Raiders, head coach
2009- Tennessee Vols, head coach
2010-13- USC, head coach
2014-16- Alabama, offensive coordinator
2017-19- Florida Atlantic, head coach

Kiffin is only 44; he could write a hell of a book someday.

5) ESPN’s play-by-play guy Sean McDonough sounds happier doing college games than he did when he was working Monday Night Football.

4) Dodgers’ P Rich Hill pitched the last month of the 2019 season with a detached UCL in his left arm. He had a procedure to fix the arm and should be ready to go sometime in June.

3) During Rams-Seattle game Sunday nite, NBC ran a cool pic of Seattle LB Bobby Wagner blocking out Kawhi Leonard during a high school basketball game in San Diego in 2008. Both guys have obviously done very well since then.

2) College football coaching stuff:
— Arkansas hired Georgia’s offensive line coach Sam Pittman as head coach.
— Missouri hired Eli Drinkwitz away from Appalachian State to be its coach.
— South Florida is hiring Clemson co-OC Jeff Scott as its new coach.

1) Nothing says its the holiday season more than Buffalo-Charlotte in the Bahamas Bowl on December 20. Have to load up on egg nog to watch that one.

In the Crease - Week 11
Joe Williams

Rise of the Flames

The Calgary Flames have had an interesting couple of weeks. Around Thanksgiving we had the unfortunate incident involving Bill Peters, who was relieved of his duties of allegations of racism and abuse. They replaced Peters with interim head coach Geoff Ward on Nov. 29, and suddenly they're unbeaten. Ward said recently that the last couple of weeks have been 'chaotic'. It hasn't been all bad news off the ice, as the team recently hammered out an agreement for a new downtown arena to replace the Scotiabank Saddledome, keeping the team in Calgary for at least the next 35 years.

The Flames beat the Colorado Avalanche in overtime on Monday night, improving to 4-0-0 under Ward's leadership, and 6-0-1 across the past seven overall. The offense has kicked into high gear lately, too, as they're averaging 4.33 goals per game across the past three while allowing 3.4 GPG. That's good for three 'over' results in a row after a run of 10 straight unders from Nov. 9-30. It really is a new era of Calgary hockey lately.

Looking Ahead

Tuesday, Dec. 10

Tampa Bay at Florida: The Lightning and Panthers meet for the third installment of their Sunshine State rivalry. The Panthers fell 5-2 in Sergei Bobrovsky's team debut back on Oct. 3 at Amalie Arena, while the Panthers exacted a little revenge in a 4-3 win over Andrei Vasilevskiy and company on Oct. 5 in the second end of the home-and-home situation. Both games hit the 'over', a frequent occurence in this series. The over has cashed in 38 of the past 55 meetings in this series, and each of the past five in Sunrise. The Lightning have owned the Panthers lately, going 7-1 in the past eight, with the favorite hitting in 14 of the past 17.

N.Y. Rangers at Los Angeles: The Rangers continue their west coast swing, and they hope it goes nearly as well as Sunday's game in Vegas. Alexandar Georgiev and the Blueshirts rolled the Golden Knights by a 5-0 score, now they set sights on the Kings and the shaky Jonathan Quick. New York will be playing the fourth game in six days, and they're 4-1 in the past five of a 4-in-6 situation. The Rangers appear to get stronger with more frequency. The Kings have picked up the pace at home, winning seven of the past 10, but they're still just 17-41 in the past 58 against winning teams. L.A. is 6-2 in the past eight meetings at Staples Center, however, and the Rangers are just 5-11 in the past 16 meetings overall. The over is 5-1-2 in the past eight meetings in SoCal.

Wednesday, Dec. 11

Philadelphia at Colorado: The Flyers and Avalanche tangle at Pepsi Center, and you'll want to watch the injury report closely. Philipp Grubauer is battling a hamstring injury, and he tried to skate Monday morning but was obviously not well enough to get back in there. Pavel Francouz started Monday's game against the Flames, and lost 5-4 in overtime. The Flyers are on a 6-1 roll over their past seven games, and 6-2 in the past eight on the road. Despite the loss Monday, the Avalanche are also 21-8 in the past 29 game at home. The Flyers are just 3-8 in the past 11 trips to Colorado, while the over is 4-1 in the past five meetings.

Thursday, Dec. 12

Boston at Tampa Bay: The Bruins are going to be awfully angry after getting embarrassed in Ottawa by a 5-2 score on Monday night. The B's are on a rare 0-2-1 skid, and it's just the second time all season they have lost back-to-back games in regulation. They have yet to lose three in a row in regulation since March 10-14 of last season. This will be the second meeting of the season, with the Lightning winning the first installment by a 4-3 score in a shootout at TD Garden back on Oct. 17. Vasilevskiy outdueled Tuukka Rask in that battle, and those are your likely starting netminders for this one.

Vegas at St. Louis: The Blues enter the new week on a rare two-game skid, falling 3-0 at Pittsburgh last Wednesday and 5-2 at home on Saturday night to Toronto. In that last game, Jordan Binnington was pulled from his first-ever NHL start. The Golden Knights are coming off a 5-0 beating from the Rangers on Sunday, as Malcolm Subban was again in the crease with Marc-Andre Fleury still away from the team mourning the loss of his father. These teams last met on March 25 in St. Louis last season, with the Blues winning 3-1 behind Binnington against Subban. The Blues also won in Vegas 4-1 behind Jake Allen against Fleury on Nov. 16 of last season, while also winning the first meeting 5-3 on Nov. 1 behind Allen. That's a clean sweep, something the Knights will be looking to change.

Friday, Dec. 13

New Jersey at Colorado: Things haven't been going according to play for the Devils this season. They used the No. 1 overall pick on Jack Hughes, and while he hasn't been a huge disappointment, he hasn't exactly been the second coming of Connor McDavid, either. He has been closer to Nail Yakopov. The tradewinds are also swirling around Taylor Hall, and Colorado has been mentioned as a potential landing spot. Will the Devils end up leaving Denver with Hall on the plane, or will they leave him behind?

The Avalanche entered Wednesday's game on a 6-0-1 run, including a 3-0 run against Eastern Conference teams. Colorado won 3-0 last season on St. Patrick's Day in Denver, and they earned a 5-3 win in Newark on Oct. 18, 2018. They fell 2-1 to the Devils on Dec. 1, 2017 in the meeting at home before that, however, and they were swept during the 2017-18 season. The under is 5-0-1 in the past six meetings at Pepsi Center, and 9-1-3 in the previous 13 meetings overall. In fact, the last over in Denver between these teams came on Nov. 30, 2011 in a game where Martin Brodeur was in net for New Jersey. Yeah, it's been a while.

Jarryâ??s shutout streak ends as Montreal beats Penguins 4-1
December 10, 2019
By The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH (AP) Tomas Tatar's 10th goal of the season ended Tristan Jarry's franchise-record shutout streak and sparked the Montreal Canadiens to a 4-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night.

Jarry's shutout run ended at 177:15 on Tatar's power-play goal 12:24 into the second period that tied the game. Joel Armia beat Jarry less than four minutes later to put the Canadiens in front to stay and Shea Weber' scored with just 15 seconds left in the period.

Montreal won for the fourth time in its last 12 meetings with the Penguins.

Carey Price surrendered Jake Guentzel's 17th goal just 2:59 into the first period but quickly settled down to outduel Jarry. Price finished with 33 saves as Montreal won for the third time in four games following an eight-game winless streak.

Jarry began the night leading the league in goals-against average and save percentage thanks to a surge that included back-to-back shutouts against St. Louis and Arizona last week. A point-blank stop on Nick Cousins early in the second period helped Jarry slip past the Tomas Vokoun's shutout mark of 173:06 set in 2013, but Jarry's luck ran out shortly after he surpassed Vokoun in the team record book.

Some sloppy play in front of Jarry helped the Canadiens finally break through. Pittsburgh was on the penalty kill in the second period when defenseman John Marino and forward Brandon Tanev whiffed on clearing attempts. Montreal's Phillip Danault grabbed the loose puck, slipped a pass to Brendan Gallagher to set up a two-on-none. Gallagher set up Tatar, who beat Jarry to the short side. It was the first goal Jarry allowed since the second period of a loss to Columbus on Nov. 29.

LIGHTNING 2, PANTHERS 1

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) - Steven Stamkos and Alex Killorn scored to lead Tampa Bay over Florida.

Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 27 shots for Tampa Bay.

Evgenii Dadonov had the goal for the Panthers. Sergei Bobrovsky made a season-high 46 saves in his third straight start.

SABRES 5, BLUES 2

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Jack Eichel scored two goals to extend his NHL-leading point streak to 14 games, and Buffalo beat St. Louis.

Sam Reinhart, Johan Larsson and Zemgus Girgensons each had a goal and an assist as the Sabres won their second straight. Linus Ullmark made 28 saves.

Troy Brouwer and Alex Pietrangelo had goals for the Blues, who have lost three in a row following a four-game winning streak. Jake Allen stopped 28 shots.

JETS 5, RED WINGS 1

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) - Blake Wheeler, Andrew Copp and Patrik Laine scored in a two-minute span in the second period and Winnipeg dealt Detroit Red its 12th straight loss.

Wheeler began the barrage at 16:43 of the second when he beat Eric Comrie, who was making his first start in goal since Detroit acquired him in a trade with Arizona on Nov. 30.

Copp and Laine followed with goals 11 seconds apart, boosting the score to 4-1 by the 18:43 mark.

Adam Lowry scored a first-period, short-handed goal and Mark Scheifele added his team-leading 14th of the season on the power play at 5:04 of the third. Copp and Wheeler also each had an assist for the Jets (19-10-2).

Christoffer Ehn scored his first goal of the season for the Red Wings (7-22-3), who are 0-10-2 during their skid. Detroit has the worst record in the NHL at 7-22-3.

PREDATORS 3, SHARKS 1

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Calle Jarnkrok had a goal and an assist in the third period, Juuse Saros made 24 saves and Nashville beat slumping San Jose.

Nick Bonino and Ryan Johansen also scored in the third for the Predators, winners of two straight.

Timo Meier scored and Martin Jones made 28 saves for the Sharks, who have lost five in a row.

DUCKS 3, WILD 2, SO

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Rickard Rickell and Max Comtois scored in the shootout and Anaheim beat Minnesota for its first win in six road games.

Rakell and Cam Fowler scored for the Ducks in a dominant first period during which they had a 14-1 advantage in shots on goal and the Wild lost center Eric Staal to an injury.

Ryan Hartman put the Wild on the board in the second and Ryan Donato tied the game early in third.

Donato had a breakaway early in overtime that Ryan Getzlaf thwarted with a tripping penalty, and the Wild failed to convert on the power play for the fifth time.

John Gibson denied Parise in the shootout. Kevin Fiala went wide right with his attempt.

STARS 2, DEVILS 0

DALLAS (AP) - Ben Bishop made 26 saves, 16 in the third period, and Dallas beat New Jersey, hours after the Stars fired head coach Jim Montgomery.

It was Bishop's first shutout this season and 32nd of his career in Rick Bowness's first game as interim head coach.

Radek Faksa and Joe Pavelski scored in the first period against Devils goalie Mackenzie Blackwood, who made 33 saves.

The Stars won their third straight game.

HURRICANES 6, OILERS 3

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) - Sebastian Aho scored two goals and Carolina beat Edmonton.

Nino Niederreiter, Ryan Dzingel, Jordan Martinook and Dougie Hamilton also scored for the Hurricanes (19-11-1), who have won three straight.

Zack Kassian scored twice and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins added a goal for the Oilers (18-11-4), who have lost three of their last four.

FLAMES 5, COYOTES 2

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Sean Monahan scored for the fourth straight game, Cam Talbot stopped 46 shots and Calgary extended its winning streak to six straight games under interim coach Geoff Ward with a win over listless Arizona.

Michael Frolik and Zac Rinaldo each had a goal and an assist. Johnny Gaudreau and Milan Lucic also scored for Calgary.

Wednesday’s 6-pack

Interesting NFL spreads for Week 15:

— Houston @ Tennessee (-3)

— Buffalo @ Pittsburgh (-2.5)

— Cleveland (-2.5) @ Arizona

— Rams (-1) @ Dallas

— Minnesota (-2.5) @ LA Chargers

— Indianapolis @ New Orleans (-9)

Quote of the Day:
“[Our recent play] is sickening. [Changes are] tough, but it’s a necessary evil. Right now, we’ve got to play better, and we’re going to play better, and there will be changes. There will be changes. What happened [Sunday] will not happen again. I can’t allow it to happen.”
Jon Gruden

Wednesday’s quiz
Which NFL team did Steve Spurrier coach for two seasons?

Tuesday’s quiz
Of the 32 NFL stadiums, LA Coliseum and Oakland Coliseum have hosted a World Series.

Monday’s quiz
Steph Curry played his college basketball at Davidson.


Wednesday’s List of 13: Mid-week musings…….

13) I get it that all retired baseball players speak glowingly of the late Marvin Miller, who was the head of the players’ union; he made them all very rich. If Miller made me rich, I’d want him to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, too.

But as an Oakland A’s fan, I had no great fondness for Miller, who helped institute a system that made the A’s a 2nd-rate franchise, financially. Stephen Strasburg making $35M a year is a bit much; not really sure Miller deserves to be in the Hall of Fame- did he make the game better? Did star players being multi-millionaires improve the game?

I’d rather see Dr Frank Jobe get in the Hall of Fame; surgeons who perform Tommy John surgery have done a hell of a lot more to help baseball than a guy who helped make all the players millionaires.

12) Speaking of Marvin MIller, Bronx Bombers signed Gerrit Cole to a 9-year, $324M contract late Tuesday night. Cole is 29 years old, so this might be his last contract.

Last three years, Cole started 33-32-33 regular season games; if he does that next season, it works out to $1,090,909.09 per start.

11) 2020 Bronx Bombers:
— Gerrit Cole, $36M
— Giancarlo Stanton, $26M
— Masahiro Tanaka, $23M
— Aroldis Chapman $17.2M

That adds up to $101.5M…….for four guys.

Oakland A’s made the playoffs the last two years; their ENTIRE payroll last year?

$92,178,333

10) Excellent article on actionnetwork.com about how college bowl betting lines are made; it ain’t easy, especially when you have to make them quickly, with matchups coming out early Sunday afternoon- lines were posted roughly four hours later.

9) NHL leaders in going over in first period:
Colorado 23-7, Los Angeles 21-10, Carolina 20-10

NHL leaders in going under in first period:
Calgary 9-23, Dallas 12-19, Jets/Wild/Penguins 13-17

8) Baseball stuff:
— Giants signed P Kevin Gausman to a 1-year deal.
— Phillies signed SS Didi Gregorius
— Angels dumped some salary, trading SS Zack Cozart for cash and a prospect.

7) Random question: Are people allowed to meet at a vegan restaurant?
(Think about it, maybe you’ll chuckle later)

6) Every player at the Outback Bowl will get a gift suite that includes a Fossil watch; $125 Amazon gift card; Jostens ring; Outback Steakhouse gift card; hat.

All the bowls have gift packages like that.

5) Funny how Golden State Warriors seem to have disbanded for a year; Draymond Green still plays most of he time, the uniforms are the same, and Steve Kerr still coaches, but with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson not playing, this is a totally different team, one that will be in the NBA Draft Lottery, maybe even getting the first pick.

Would Golden State draft LaMelo Ball, the youngest of the three Ball brothers? Cole Anthony? James Wiseman, the big kid from Memphis?

4) Major League Baseball will relocate its annual amateur draft to Omaha to try and increase interest; Omaha is where the College World Series is played every year. I’m guessing some of the college coaches in the CWS won’t be thrilled with the potential distractions.

3) Of course the Miami Marlins move their outfield fences in the year after they trade Stanton, Yelich and Ozuna. Makes perfect sense.

2) Texas Tech 70, Louisville 57— Cardinals are already the 4th #1 team in country to lose this season and it is only December 11. There aren’t any great teams this year.

1) ESPN drained every last drop out of the Eli Manning story Monday night; he played really well in the first half but the Giants were shut out in the 2nd half as Manning made what will probably be his last-ever appearance on MNF.

Now America will have to wait a couple years for the next Manning; Eli’s nephew Arch is a 9th-grader at Newman HS in New Orleans, where he already is the starting QB.

T.J. Oshie scores twice, Capitals beat Bruins - again
December 11, 2019
By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) T.J. Oshie scored twice in under four minutes and John Carlson got the go-ahead goal to extend the Washington Capitals' longstanding domination of the Boston Bruins with a 3-2 victory Wednesday night in a showdown between the NHL's two best teams.

The Capitals have won 16 of their past 17 games against the Bruins. Boston has lost four in a row.

Carlson's blast past Jaroslav Halak in the third period fired up a crowd quieted by Sean Kuraly's deflection goal minutes earlier. Earlier, fans in Capitals red and Bruins black and gold all got into it when Boston captain Zdeno Chara and Washington forward Tom Wilson threw down the gloves in a heavyweight fight in the first.

Pastrnak ripped a perfect shot over Braden Holtby's left shoulder midway through the first for his league-best 26th of the season. It looked as if the Bruins had a two-goal lead on a Patrice Bergeron power-play goal, but Capitals coach Todd Reirden challenged for offside and video review showed Jake DeBrusk was into the zone just before the puck.

Oshie made the most of nothing but empty ice around him to score off his own rebound on the power play early in the second. Soon after, he turned defenseman Connor Clifton into a human pylon and beat Jaroslav Halak with a backhander.

Kuraly and Carlson traded goals, and these two rivals traded shoves and unpleasantries plenty before the final buzzer.

CANADIENS 3, SENATORS 2, OT

MONTREAL (AP) - Ben Chiarot scored in overtime and Cayden Primeau made 35 saves for his first NHL victory in Montreal's decision over Ottawa.

Chiarot scored 1:11 into the extra period on a 2-on-1 with Max Domi.

Nick Cousins and Tomas Tatar scored in regulation for the Canadiens. They improved to 15-11-6, winning for the third straight time after losing four of five.

Brady Tkachuk and Connor Brown scored for the Senators.
