Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz is 20-30 in games decided by 4 or less points.

-- Bret Bielema lost his last 11 games decided by 7 or less points; seven at Arkansas, four when he was at Wisconsin.

-- Combining NFL/UCLA days, Jim Mora Jr is 15-9 in games decided by 4 or less.

-- Tough day for Felix Hernandez; 2.1 IP, 12 hits 10 earned runs. Not good. When you face 20 batters and half of them score, thats a tough day.

-- Good day for Jackie Bradley, who batted 9th; three doubles, two homers, five runs scored, seven RBI. Best day ever by a 9th-place hitter?

-- School started Friday in Fort Collins, CO; why start school on a Friday?


**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Things I think, things I don't think......

13) I don't think Eldrick Woods enjoys playing competitive golf anymore.

12) I think the NFL season should be: two preseason games, 18 in regular season, with the Super Bowl Sunday night of Presidents Day weekend. Then the Daytona 500 could be Saturday night and it is the best sports weekend of the year.

11) I think 95% of sports bars don't have a clue; place near my house Saturday afternoon had no golf, no NFL Network on. they have boxing, Little League and a freakin' talk show on. Stupid. Graney's on New Scotland Ave is still the best sports bar in this area and thats not counting the very attractive bartenders they have.

10) I don't think Little League games should be on national TV. Ever.

9) I think at some point, John Elway is going to realize that John Fox is a better coach than Gary Kubiak. Fox got to a Super Bowl with Jake freakin' Delhomme at QB. Now I know Elway and Kubiak are buddies from their playing days, but still......

8) I don't think anyone named Clinton or Bush should run for President next year. It is clear people are dissatisfied with our government; thats how a crackpot like Donald Trump leads a lot of polls. Anyone different is better than the status quo.

7) I think the designated hitter has its place: spring training and All-Star Games.

6) I still can't believe Kansas hired Charlie Weis as its football coach and is still paying him; not only that, Notre Dame is also still paying this fraud of a coach.

5) I think HBO's Hard Knocks would be the best show on TV if it carried thru an entire regular season; the stuff we don't see when the emotions run highest, during the regular season. Coaches' meetings might be the best part of it all.

4) I don't think Seattle's Lloyd McClendon should be a major league manager.

3) Now that I'm retired, I am amazed how terrible weekday daytime television is; awful talk shows, idiots getting paid huge money to provoke controversy. If not for all the CSI/NCIS/Law and Order reruns, it would be even worse. Game shows need to make a comeback-- daytime TV was better when I was a kid. Game shows are fun.

Side note: as I am typing this, White Sox are losing to the Cubs again: they just gave away a run on a throwing error. Hawk Harrelson's analysis: "You've got to be bleepin' me". Good stuff. He actually said "bleepin'"

2) I don't think we're as creative a culture as we used to be; reality TV is 95% crap, and that might be a low figure. The most entertaining stuff on TV is CNN and the real life shenanigans that happen in Washington DC. Now THAT is quality reality TV.

1) I think of the 32 current NFL head coaches, only ones who are getting in the Hall of Fame are Tom Coughlin and Bill Belichick.
