Armadillo:Sunday's six-pack

— Gerrit Cole, Jason deGrom will both miss their Monday start; Cole is going to see a doctor, deGrom is simply getting a start skipped.

— Rams gave WR Tavon Austin a 4-year contract extension with $25.55M of guaranteed money.

— With two outs and runners in scoring position, Curtis Granderson is an amazingly bad 2-for-41 this season.

— Former NFL coach Mike Nolan does a good job in the NFL Network studio; ex-coaches are generally better analysts than ex-players.

— There are 60 ballplayers who have played for both Padres/Marlins; seems like a high number, since Marlins are only 24 years old.

— Ravens lost TE Benjamin Watson (Achilles) on the first play of the game. Coaches would rather emerge healthy than win preseason games.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Summing up a summer Saturday…….

13) Cowboys’ QB Tony Romo has a broken vertebrae in his back, is out 6-10 weeks; if I were his friend/advisor, I’d suggest he retire before something terrible happened to him. Romo is 36, has made a ton of cash in his career. Would be nice if he was healthy enough to spend it.

12) All of which leaves Mississippi State rookie Dak Prescott as Cowboys’ #1 QB, with no competent backup; Dallas has to sign a veteran backup now, since Kellen Moore is hurt and out for several more weeks.

This also makes the Week 1 Giant-Cowboy game an Egg Bowl matchup, since Eli went to Ole Miss and Prescott to Miss State.

11) USC plays Alabama in Texas next Saturday; Trojans still have 19 players who were at USC in 2013, when Bama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin was the Trojans’ head coach.

10) Green Bay may have found itself a hidden gem in backup QB Joe Callahan, who played D-III college ball at Wesley College in Delaware.

9) New England opens at Arizona, then Jimmy Garoppolo’s last three starts as Patriots’ QB are all home games, vs Miami, Houston, Buffalo. Tom Brady’s first game is October 9 in Cleveland.

8) Cam Newton played a lot last night in Carolina’s loss to the Patriots, almost three quarters. Panthers put up only three points while Newton was in the game; 3rd-stringer Joe Webb led a late rally that fell just short.

7) Duke lost its QB Thomas Sirk for the season to another achilles injury; tough break for the young man and for the Blue Devils.

6) Hall of Fame linebacker Kevin Greene’s son is a walk-on at Southern Miss. Greene was a walk-on himself, at Auburn.

5) Sometimes if you want to get more honest opinions about players, listen to the other team’s announcers; they talk to the home team’s TV/radio guys and they might pass on some criticism of players that the home team’s guys wouldn’t dare say on the air.

4) Announcers at the Cal-Hawai’i game Friday weren’t in Australia where the game was played; they broadcast the game from an ESPN studio. Saves lot of money and may be a wave of the future.

3) If you care about such things, NHL teams scored a goal on 18.7% of power plays last season.

2) Last year, golfer Scott Brown aced the par-3 3rd hole at the Wyndham tournament during Sunday’s final round.

Last week, Scott Brown again aced the par-3 3rd hole at the Wyndham tournament during Sunday’s final round.

Apparently it is only the second time that has happened on Tour, same guy acing the same hole in the same event two years in a row.

1– Bears-Texans play in Week 1 of regular season. Both teams already lost their starting center for the year. Chicago was awful on offense the last two weeks; even in preseason, this is a red flag. One of Houston’s starting tackles also figures to miss the Week 1 game.
