Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

What college football expert Phil Steele thinks about the ACC Coastal Division

7) Virginia-- 5-19 in ACC last three years; make a bowl this year, or else.......

6) Duke-- 11-6 in ACC last two years; they were 18-126 from 1995-2012.

5) North Carolina-- Have 17 starters back but that defense has to be a LOT better.

4) Pittsburgh-- Another new HC, but Narduzzi inherits a decent amount of talent.

3) Georgia Tech-- Option offense is hard to prep for; they beat Clemson, Georgia last year, won their bowl game

2) Miami-- Al Golden looks like young George Allen; time to start coaching like him.

1) Virginia Tech-- 12-12 in ACC last three years, do the Hokies bounce back?

**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind......

13) 12,422 basketball fans paid $28 each to get into UNLV's two basketball arenas Friday to watch summer league games; thats a testament to the NBA's popularity.

12) NBA TV will have summer league games on for next nine days, usually starting at 4pm eastern time. Highly competitive games, some guys playing for their careers.

11) Deron Williams/Nets parted ways, then Williams signed with Dallas, which needed a starting point guard. Mavs traded for Zaza Pachulia, to play where DeAndre Jordan would've played had he signed with Dallas.

10) San Antonio Spurs signed a 7-4 center from Serbia, who is 26, went undrafted back in 2010. From what I read, he has developed nicely and will be a typical Spur.

9) NFL shortened Greg Hardy's suspension from ten games to four, meaning his first game will be against New England in Week 5.

8) Saskatchewan Roughriders lost 35-32 in OT last night; they've scored 72 points in last two games but lost both in OT. Riders are 0-3 despite having led all three of their games in the fourth quarter.

Damn, its July 11 and its Week 3 in the CFL already?

7) As far as Jason Pierre-Paul goes, apparently it is his broken thumb that is more of a problem than his amputated index finger. He has to be healthy when he signs his tender or else the Giants can put him on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list and then they would control when they start paying him.

Sounds like a lot of legal mumbo-jumbo but as always, it is about the money.

6) HR Derby will be timed this year, meaning there is more pressure on pitchers, so amateur pitchers like dads (Robinson Cano/Bryce Harper) or 71-year old Connie Mack coaches (Josh Hamilton) might not be used as often as in the past, which is too bad.

5) Catcher Derek Norris led off the last four games for San Diego, the first time a catcher has ever led off for the Padres.

While I'm on the Padres, they are now 39-49, 7-16 since firing their manager. Maybe Cornell alum/GM AJ Preller should get a lefty for his bullpen; I'm told it helps.

4) Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup three times in last six years, so they have salary cap problems; they traded Patrick Sharp to Dallas this week, which has to be a sad day for all ********* fans.

3) Twins 8, Tigers 6-- Detroit led 6-0 in 8th inning, 6-1 in ninth; this was a horrible loss for a team struggling to stay in playoff contention.

Minnesota TV announcer Dick Bremer, who is excellent, called this game ".......the most improbable comeback I've seen IN YEARS!!!!"

While I'm here, Brian Dozier is an All-Star, whether he goes to Cincinnati or not.

2) Pete Rose is obviously controversial; he once injured Ray Fosse when he barreled into the catcher while scoring the winning run in the 1970 All-Star Game. The guy who hit the ball that scored Rose was Jim Hickman, who was on the Cubs then but also is the first-ever Met to homer three times in one game and also the first Met to hit for the cycle. Just thought you'd like to know.

1) Irony Department: Rose wound up serving 152 days in prison for tax issues in 1990-91; he did his time in a prison in Marion, IL-- Ray Fosse's hometown.

After a brief sputter, Tulsa cashing bets again

The Tulsa Shock were an incredible bet to begin the WNBA season, posting a record of 8-0 against the spread. They dropped three-straight at the betting window afterwards, but have returned to the winning column with back-to-back ATS wins heading into Saturday's meeting with the Los Angeles Sparks.

Tulsa has covered the ATS wins this season (10-3 ATS) but are behind the Connecticut Sun (8-2 ATS) in terms of winning percentage in the WNBA ATS standings.

They lost to the Sparks by a score of 98-95, but covered as 5.5-point road dogs back on July 3.
