Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Is it really the last weekend in August?

13) Did something different Thursday; hopped on an Amtrak train and went down to New York City, visited my cousins on Long Island. Excellent day, lot of laughs– train travel is highly underrated. I recommend it. Down and back in 22 hours makes for a long day, but a fun one.

12) Penn Station is an amazing place; the hub of train travel in NYC, so many people going in and out. People of all shapes, sizes, races, all trying to get somewhere in a hurry. The tremendous diversity we have as a nation should be our greatest strength. Too bad that’s not the way things are going these days.

11) Giants’ lefty Matt Moore had Tommy John surgery in 2014; Thursday he threw 133 pitches in his one-hitter, the most any pitcher has thrown in a game this year. Curious to follow Moore the rest of the year and see if this game has any ill effects on him going forward.

10) Dodgers-Phillies swapped veteran catchers Thursday; AJ Ellis goes to Philly, Carlos Ruiz to LA. Phillies give Ruiz, a member of their ’08 title team, a chance to finish his career with a contender. Odd move for the contending Dodgers; Ellis is beloved by teammates. It was reported than Clayton Kershaw was in tears after the trade.

Like we talked about earlier this week; there is a human element to sports. Team chemistry matters, but not everyone shares that view.

9) Arkansas-Texas have a basketball game December 17 in Houston. Solid non-conference game for both teams, and for TV.

8) UNLV’s football team gets $1.3M for its road game at Ohio State next year, $1.15M for its game at USC in 2018. Rebels don’t have a guarantee game this year- they visit UCLA, but the Bruins came to Las Vegas LY, so this is simply a return game.

7) From 2011-14, Cleveland Browns had six first-round draft picks; of those six players, only CB Justin Gilbert is still with Cleveland.

6) Best part of Hard Knocks this week was DE Eugene Sims catching footballs one-handed that were shot from a pitching machine. He didn’t miss any; they had the Rams’ tight ends coach on camera asking, “Could he play tight end?”

5) Interesting move this week; Tom Coughlin is now on the NFL’s competition committee. Not sure many retired coaches get on that, but then again, are we sure Coughlin is retired?

4) Dallas Cowboys have to sign another backup QB; no way can they depend on Tony Romo to last thru one game, much less 16. Rookie Dak Prescott has been terrific in preseason, but if Romo is a no-go, then Dallas still needs someone to back up Prescott.

3) By the way, Dallas is 1-13 in the last 14 regular season games that Romo missed.

2) Quote of the Day, part 2, from Reds’ OF Adam Duvall, when asked about the one baseball rule he would change, if he could:

“I don’t know. I mean, I enjoy watching National League games because of the pitchers having to hit. Maybe that would be it. It makes it so much more interesting, having to juggle the pieces rather than just being able to leave it alone. The double switch is very interesting because you have to know what you’re doing and it can change a ballgame. So, maybe get rid of the DH would be it.”

1– Science is amazing; people who are doctors/nurses do great things. A young person in Las Vegas named Addison was born last year with a hole in her heart; she got it fixed this week, which is excellent news. Young Addison has a great smile (and more hair on her head than me). Must be a tremendous feeling to be a doctor and to save people’s lives.
