— If Le’Veon Bell is going to play for Pittsburgh this year, he has to report by 4pm on Nov. 13.

— Ohio State 64, Cincinnati 56— Buckeyes win an ugly game.

— Kansas Jayhawks fired football coach David Beaty; he’ll finish this season.

— Astros’ P Lance McCullers had Tommy John surgery, will miss all of 2019.

**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud…….

13) So I’m voting Tuesday and this guy voting next to me had his daughter with him- she is maybe 6, 7 years old. As he is voting, the little girl says “Thats not who mommy voted for” and the guy says “Daddy isn’t going to vote for everyone Mommy voted for” and then the little girl and dad start arguing, with the little girl wanting mommy and daddy to agree on everything.

Quality entertainment. And for free.

12) Sunday was a rough day for Nevada sports books; every NFL team that the public supported covered the spread. A guy who is a 25-year veteran of working in Las Vegas said it was one of the 10 worst days Nevada sports books have ever had in sports wagering.

11) Times have changed; the Cowboys willingly wore blue jerseys at home Monday night. There was a time when Dallas went on the road, opposing teams would wear white at home, to force the Cowboys to wear the blue jerseys that they didn’t seem to like wearing.

10) New Mets’ GM Brodie Van Wagenen is making $10M for four years. He was the agent for the Mets’ two best players, Jacob deGrom and Yoenis Cespedes. He was also Tim Tebow’s agent; Tebow is expected to start next season at AAA Syracuse.

9) Lot of NBA teams have cameras over the baskets, which provide great replays of action around the rim; the funny thing is that they then put advertising on top of the backboards, so you see it when those replays are shown. Wonder how much they charge for that?

8) The NBA is more fun to watch now than it has been in a while; lot more passing, solid shooting. The success Golden State is having has influenced the game in a positive way.

7) Toronto Argonauts fired coach Marc Trestman after a 4-14 season, but his Argos won the Grey Cup LAST YEAR.

Trestman won two Grey Cups coaching Montreal from 2008-12, then went 13-19 in two years coaching the Chicago Bears. He later was an OC for the Baltimore Ravens, but was fired during the 2016 season. Mr Trestman could write a very interesting book.

6) Not that I’m bitter or anything, but I see DeAndre Ayton and Allonzo Trier playing major minutes in NBA games this fall, but when I picked Arizona in their first round NCAA game last March, they lost by 21 to a freakin’ MAC team. No bueno!!!! LOLOL

5) Miami, Florida, Florida State all went 0-2 the last two weekends.

That is the FIRST time that has EVER happened.

4) San Francisco Giants hired GM Farhan Zaidi as their new GM Tuesday.

For the past four years, Zaidi was GM of the rival Dodgers; before that, he was the assistant GM to Billy Beane with the A’s.

3) Jamal Murray scored 48 points for Denver Monday night; he took a shot late in the game, trying to get to 50, and the Celtics get all offended, like Murray isn’t supposed to try and put the ball in the basket. Thats what he gets paid for.

You don’t want him to score 50? Guard his bleepin’ ass, don’t let him get to 40!!! Don’t run your mouth after the game, move your feet during the game.

2) Guy at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City put $6 down on a 12-team parlay this weekend and he hit it, with Titans (+5) clinching his $9,600 payoff. Well done!!!

1) Chicago Blackhawks fired coach Joel Quenneville, who won three Stanley Cups in Chicago, the last one in 2015. He’s the second-winningest coach in NHL history with an all-time record of 890-532-214. Sounds like a guy who won’t be unemployed too long.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Thursday, November 8

Thursday’s games— Not a lot of info to go on until teams play some games…….

Evansville has a new coach and four new starters (two transferred) after a 17-15 season; former NBA player Walter McCarty (an Evansville native) is the new coach. Purple Aces have six new players, will play faster, but doubtful they have enough guys this year. Illinois was 15-17 LY and purged six players who could’ve returned this year; Illini has eight new players (6 frosh); they’re younger, taller, more athletic, but they’re very young. Last three years, Big 14 teams are 7-6 vs spread when playing an MVC team.

Morehead State has all five starters back from an 8-21 team that went 4-14 in OVC; eight of their top nine scorers are back- Eagles whacked an NAIA team Tuesday, Morehead was 9th-worst team in country LY at protecting the ball. UConn has a new coach after a 14-18 season; they’ve got three starters back from team that finished out of top 100 last two years, after a couple decades of excellence- they won national title in 2014. Last three years, AAC teams are 3-3 vs spread when playing an OVC opponent.

George Washington lost its home opener in OT to Stony Brook, after leading game 22-0 at the start, 63-59 with 0:07 left in regulation; Colonials were 16-34 on foul line- they don’t play any seniors. Siena lost its opener 77-67 at Providence; Saints made 12-28 on arc, trailed 50-34 at halftime. Friars made 13-25 on arc. Siena lost last meeting here 77-75 two years ago, when both teams had different coaches. Last three years, MAAC teams are 17-14 vs spread when playing an A-14 opponent.
