Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

How Phil Steele's football magazine sees the Big 14 West Division this year......

7) Purdue - 1-15 in league last two years; supposed to be improved this year.

6) Illinois-- Curious to see if tumultuous offseason effects experienced team.

5) Northwestern-- Won 2nd bowl (2-9) ever in 2012, went 5-7 last two years.

4) Iowa-- 19-19 last three years; last bowl win was in '10. Disappointing.

3) Minnesota-- Program on rise is 16-10 last two years but lost last five bowls.

2) Nebraska-- Culture shock with pass-oriented Riley replacing Pelini as coach.

1) Wisconsin-- Former OC Chryst is Badgers' third HC in last four years.

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Random stuff on a summer day........

13) I never watch the ESPYs, seriously. waste of time. Much rather watch the NBA Summer League or the AAA All-Star Game. But I will say this about Bruce Jenner

This is a free country, that is very important to remember. If a person wants to have a sex-change operation, knock yourself out, you're free to do that.

What baffles me is why anyone would give this person an award. If you're that starved for ratings that you exploit stuff like this for attention, well thats just sad.

12) MLB has onions banning Pete Rose when they're in bed with Draft Kings, a fantasy sports company. Watch the Draft Kings commercials with the guy in the Tom Brady jersey; thats the face of any gambler whose wager lies in the balance at the end.

Nothing wrong with it, but fantasy sports is a form of gambling, simple as that.

11) As for Rose, he is not getting in the Hall of Fame, not in his lifetime. I'd vote for him getting in, but too many prominent baseball people want him kept out.

10) Coastal Carolina's basketball team is making a historic trip to Cuba to play some exhibition games. Pretty sure it is the first visit this century by an American team.

9) White Sox skipper Robin Ventura went public with his wish that ace Chris Sale not pitch in All-Star Game and Ned Yost granted his wish, which hurts Yost's team, since now Sale will pitch against the Royals Sunday, when he wouldn't have otherwise.

8) Cubs scored 12 runs in Jon Lester's last nine starts. No bueno.

7) Andy Dalton got booed at the celebrity softball game in Cincinnati this week; I know he has an 0-4 record in playoff games, but his regular season record is 40-23-1 and that is not boo-able. People are jerks sometimes.

6) You could actually wager on whether the first pitch of the All-Star Game would be a ball or a strike. Seriously, you could.

5) I'm wondering if Buster Posey catching guys in All-Star Game helps him at all next time he faces those pitchers in a real game?

4) FAO Schwarz toy store in Manhattan closed this week, a NYC institution that was owned by Toys 'r Us. I was in there once; it was a bigtime tourist attraction, but it became too expensive to rent the space and so it is gone now.

3) Why hasn't Marcus Mariota signed with the Titans yet? What is he thinking?

2) How many major league pitchers do you think were the center of their high school football team? Clayton Kershaw was; the QB was Lions' QB Matthew Stafford.

1) My five all-time favorite basketball players to watch; not necessarily the best guys, just the most fun for me to watch:

Vlade Divac-George Gervin-Pete Maravich-Steve Nash-David Thompson.

Bettors riding red-hot over streak from this team

The New York Liberty have become one of the best over bets in the WNBA and have now topped the closing total in five consecutive contests.

In their past five games, the Liberty and their opponents have combined for an average of 157.2 points per game. Comparably, the closing average total has been a mere 145.1.

The Liberty will host the Sun, who have gone over in six of their past seven games, Friday.
