              Thursday’s quiz
              Jacksonville Jaguars last made the playoffs in 2017; Blake Bortles was their QB.

              Wednesday’s quiz
              Lou Piniella was the Seattle Mariners’ manager, last time they made the playoffs.

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

              Friday’s Den: Random stuff with weekend here…….

              13) Bengals 24, Jaguars 21:
              — Bengals in first half: 21 plays, 95 yards, 4 first downs, 0 points
              — Bengals in second half: 36 plays, 303 yards, 17 first downs, 24 points
              — Uzomah caught five passes for 95 yards, two TD’s.

              — Jaguars have now lost 19 games in a row.
              — Up 14-0 late in 1st half, Jaguars were stopped on downs on Cincy’s 1-yard line.
              — Shenault caught six passes for 99 yards; Jags were 6-12 on 3rd down.

              12) Can’t be a fun time to be a Colorado Rockies fan; they traded star 3B Nolan Arenado last winter- now he is leading the Cardinals to the playoffs. Trevor Story is going to be a free agent this winter, making the Rockies’ climb to respectability even steeper.

              There was a cool moment before Wednesday’s game in Denver; a kid down the right field line held up a sign that said “We’ll miss you Story 27”

              Little while later, Story came out of the Colorado dugout and made his way down the right field line, where he gave the kid an autographed bat. Nice.

              11) Over their last 75 games, starting pitchers for the Mets are 9-31, including their win over Miami Thursday. Not good.

              Mets have played 14 doubleheaders this season, most of any team since 1979.

              10) Las Vegas Raiders are off to a 3-0 start, with two overtime wins; they’re +1 in turnovers, which doesn’t sound like much, until you realize that over the last four years, Raiders were minus-34 in turnovers. Big improvement.

              9) Genius alert: Devin Williams is Milwaukee Brewers’ 2nd-best reliever; he was Rookie of the Year last year, but he’ll miss the playoffs this month after he broke his hand punching a wall.

              “After our celebration, I went out to have a few drinks. On my way home, I was a little frustrated and upset, and I punched a wall. That’s how it happened.”

              This guy broke his pitching hand punching a wall after a CELEBRATION??? Oy.

              Didn’t any of these people (I’m including Huascar Ynoa, Jesus Luzardo) watch Bull Durham, when Crash Davis tells Nuke LaLoosh that you NEVER punch with your pitching hand???

              8) Orioles 6, Red Sox 2— Boston/Seattle are tied for the second Wild Card slot; Red Sox play in Washington this weekend, Mariners host the Angels.

              7) Angels have a pitcher Packy Naughton who went to Boston Latin HS, same school that gave us Benjamin Franklin many moons ago. It turns out that four other guys who signed the Declaration of Independence also went to Boston Latin.

              6) I’m watching the 1999 football movie Any Given Sunday the other night; first time I’ve seen it in a long time— don’t think I saw it at all during the pandemic.

              As much as I admire Al Pacino as an actor, I’m thinking to myself “Thank the Lord no one like Tony D’Amato ever coached the Rams” then I remembered that Jeff Fisher coached the Rams. Could be some similarities there. Whoops.

              5) Thru three weeks, NFL TV ratings are up 9% over last year, which is good, considering no one went to the actual games last year, so there were more people home to watch than this year.

              4) Umpire Gerry Davis will work his 5,000th major league game Sunday in St Louis, his hometown; veteran ump Joe West was put on that crew for this weekend too. There are rumors that longtime umps Davis, West and Brian Gorman might all be retiring after this season.

              3) AL Wild Card game is Tuesday night, NL Wild Card game is Wednesday. Both at 8:00 ET.

              2) Legalized sports betting started in Connecticut Thursday; think they’re the 27th state that has legalized sports betting.

              1) Sunday is the last day of baseball’s regular season; every game begins at 3:00 ET. Will there be play-in games on Monday? Could be.

                                Quote of the Day
                                “He (his father) didn’t think I could make any money coaching ball. I don’t think my dad ever dreamed, nor did I, that I could coach in college. It never crossed my mind, it was never a goal. I wanted to coach in high school and win a state championship, which is so hard to do.”
                                Arkansas football coach Sam Pittman

                                Saturday’s Den: Wrapping up a busy Friday

                                13) Red Sox 4, Nationals 2:
                                Angels 2, Mariners 1— Boston leads Seattle by a game for the second Wild Card slot.

                                12) Giants 3, Padres 0— Giants can clinch NL West with a win Saturday.

                                Padres are 12-32 in their last 44 games.

                                11) Virginia 30, Miami 28:
                                — Miami missed a 33-yard FG at the gun.
                                — Virginia led 27-14 with 2:00 left in third quarter.

                                10) Iowa 51, Maryland 14:
                                — Terps get brought back to earth after a 4-0 start.
                                — Maryland turned ball over 7 times, throwing six INT’s.
                                — Iowa had TD drives of 10-26-45 yards.

                                9) Houston 45, Tulsa 10:
                                — Cougars led 28-3 at halftime; easy win.
                                — QB Tune threw for 241 yards, two TD’s.

                                8) BYU 34, Utah State 20:
                                — BYU’s 2nd-string QB played first half, 3rd-stringer played second half.
                                — RB Allgeier ran 22 times for 218 yards, three TD’s.
                                — Utah State lost despite converting 11-21 on third down.

                                7) Turner Sports hired former NHL ref Don Koharski as its rules expert for NHL telecasts; long time ago (1988???), when Koharski was a referee, he worked a game where the Buffalo Sabres weren’t too happy with his work.

                                Sabres’ coach Jim Schoenfeld was caught on camera screaming at Koharski after the game: “Have another donut!!! Have another donut, you fat pig!!!”

                                To that point, I didn’t know that in Canada, telling someone to have another donut is a big insult.

                                6) Maui Classic basketball tournament is a staple of Thanksgiving Week, but this year, the Maui Classic is moving to Las Vegas (Mandalay Bay) because of COVID travel issues in Hawai’i.

                                The field: Butler, Houston, Notre Dame, Oregon, Saint Mary’s, Texas A&M, Wisconsin, Chaminade.

                                5) Jaguars’ QB Trevor Lawrence had a combined 86-4 W-L record in high school/college; now he is 0-4 in the NFL. Rookie QB’s struggle in the NFL; they’re 2-10 ATS this season.

                                4) With Cincinnati, Houston, UCF bolting the AAC for the Big X, the AAC tried to replace them with Boise State/San Diego State, but those teams elected to stay in the Mountain West- they are hoping the Big X or Pac-12 come calling instead.

                                3) Giants’ OF LaMonte Wade has six game-tying or go-ahead hits in the ninth inning this season, the most by any big league player in the last 40 years.

                                2) 2022 should be an especially fun year in Los Angeles; Super Bowl in February, All-Star Game in July; I’m guessing most every day is fun in Tinseltown, but next year should be especially good.

                                1) Astros are fifth team that Dusty Baker has managed, and he’s led all five teams to the playoffs a total of ten times, reaching the World Series with the 2002 Giants. Is this the year Dusty wins a World Series?

                                Full disclosure: When I was a kid, 15 or 16, I was at Shea Stadium, for a Mets-Braves game; my dad got us GREAT seats (3rd row off the field, by 3rd base). Dusty Baker had a broken wrist; he was signing autographs and he was really cool to talk to, a good person. Have to root for the guy.
