Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

— Fort Wayne Tin Caps of the Midwest League averaged 6,084 fans per game this summer; minor league baseball is a good investment.

— Guy found Washington Redskins’ defensive playbooks in a dumpster; apparently someone they cut tossed them on his way out of town.

— Colorado Buffaloes put in a no-huddle offense which will be fun to track, seeing as Boulder is obviously in high altitude.

— Tom Brady played a half, took 39 snaps in the Patriots’ last preseason game; his next game action is October 9 in Cleveland.

— Albany 22, Buffalo 16– It is stupid to play I-AA teams; nothing to gain. Buffalo paid the Great Danes $275K to visit, then lost to them. Oy.

— Baseball rosters expanding on September 1 mean more pitching changes late in game; the pace-of-game zealots won’t like that.
