Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

NBA comings and goings.......

-- Dwyane Wade gets $20M in a one-year deal with the Heat.

-- Phoenix gave away Danny Granger, Marcus Morris and Reggie Bullock to Detroit (for a 2nd round pick) to clear cap room to sign LaMarcus Aldridge. Good luck.

-- Monta Ellis took $44M for four years from Indiana, turning down a bigger offer from the Kings, who continue to be a laughingstock.

-- Greg Monroe chose Milwaukee over the Knicks and Lakers. Go figure.

-- Knicks signed Aaron Afflalo to a 2-year, $16M deal.

-- Golden State re-signed Draymond Greem for five years, $85M.

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here........

13) There is a 7-footer in Greece named Georgis Papagiannis who might play college basketball in this country; if he does, his four college choices are St John's, Kentucky, NC State and out west, the Oregon Ducks.

Turns out that Nike outfits the Greek National team which helps the Ducks, seeing as outgoing Nike honcho Phil Knight is a huge supporter of Oregon.

12) Tennessee switched from adidas to Nike this year; in the first day the new Nike Vols gear was up on their website, they sold $150K worth, all of it orange. Oy.

11) Oakland A's are 6-20 in 1-run games, a .231 winning %age; that is the 2nd-worst winning %age is one-run games of all time. 1935 Boston Braves were 7-31 in one-run games, but they finished 38-115 that season. Oakland is currently 37-45.

10) I'm not a picky eater, but IHOP is advertising banana pudding on its television commercials; I'd be wary of any type of pudding at IHOP.

9) Speaking of food, saw a couple notes on Twitter today that says Marco's Pizza (located in 35 states) is the best pizza people have had. I've never heard of it; anyone have any experience with Marco's? This is worth investigating.

8) Hazards of fantasy baseball: I'm in a 16-team keeper league, so I'm watching the Braves' new pitcher, Manny Banuelos. He strikes out Bryce Harper the first two times up so I go in and pick him up off the scrap heap- thats enough evidence for me.

35 minutes later, the trainer, manager and pitching coach are on the mound looking at my newest player. No bueno. Luckily for me, it was cramps/dehydration and not an arm injury. Still, the Atlanta announcers pointed out it wasn't that hot last night, so the heat/humidity could be an ongoing problem, if Banuelos has conditioning issues.

7) Jerry DiPoto resigned as Angels' GM this week, loser of a power struggle with manager Mike Scioscia. More and more, we're hearing of these internal conflicts within front offices. Lot of politics; everyone wants credit when a team wins and fingers get pointed when teams do not meet expectations.

6) Was fun finding Hamilton-Winnipeg CFL game on ESPN2 last night; after only five games this season, three CFL teams have already lost their starting QB to injury.

5) Chargers' TE Antonio Gates gets four games for PED use. Any news at this time of year for NFL teams is generally bad news.

4) Former UConn Husky hooper/NBA player Scott Burrell is new hoop coach at D-II Southern Connecticut; when I was in college, we used to play the Owls every year-- they weren't very good. If I remember right, gymnastics was the big sport there, but former Giant OC Kevin Gilbride used to be the football coach there

3) It would be un-American to outlaw defensive shifts in baseball. Seriously. Why take some of the intelligence out of the game? Hitters need to adjust.

2) Random college football note: Since 2010, Georgia Bulldogs are 0-6-1 against the spread as an underdog.

1) July 2, 1963-- Giants 1, Braves 0 in 16 innings. Warren Spahn/Juan Marichal both went whole way. Really, they did.

Spahn faced 56 batters, Marichal 59. Willie Mays won it with a homer in the 16th. Spahn was 41 years old at the time, an amazing performance.

Sparks still winless against the spread at home

The Los Angeles Sparks got their first straight-up win of the season Thursday, but it did not help their backers as the team managed to win by five points with a closing spread of -5. Eight games into the season, the Sparks are now 0-3-1 against the spread in LA.

The Sparks are still last in the WNBA in offense with an average of 68.4 points per game.

LA plays next Friday when they host Tulsa.
