**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind…….

13) Lot of times when I’m writing this space late at night, I turn the TV off and listen to podcasts on my phone. Thought it would be a good idea to post some of those podcasts and recommend them to you, so every so often, I’m going to do that.

If you hate the podcasts, forget that I recommended them; if you enjoy them, you’re welcome.

a) The Steam Room, with Ernie Johnson/Charles Barkley. If you like Inside the NBA on TV, you’ll love this podcast, because Barkley runs amok as Ernie points him in the right direction.

b) The Moment, with Brian Koppelman, who co-writes Billions and co-wrote Rounders, Oceans 13. He talks to a variety of people who are successful, whether in show business, cooking, sports (his podcast with JJ Redick was kind of random, but interesting).

His podcast with the great author John Grisham was excellent.

12) There is a bowl game in Phoenix every year called the Cheez-It Bowl- some thoughts:
— I ate my share of Cheez-Its when I was a kid, because my dad liked them, so they were always around.
— Wasn’t terribly fond of Cheez-Its; too dry. It surprises me that they’ve lasted this long. The puffed-up Doritos they sold a few years ago were great, but they never caught on. Why?
— For the Cheez-It people to have enough money to sponsor a bowl is alarming, well not alarming, but very surprising.

Like you give a rat’s ass what I think of Cheez-Its. Lets move on…….

11) In case you were wondering, Pete Rose had 51 games in his carer with 7+ plate appearances; Rickey Henderson had 43. No one else has/had more than 32.

10) They had G-League showcase games on ESPNU Friday, mostly players who left college early but haven’t stuck in the NBA. Kids go from playing in front of 15,000 fans to playing in a casino events center, where there is a wall right behind the benches. Has to be kind of a reality check.

9) The minimum salary for NBA rookies is $898,310, which is why the most talented kids don’t want to play college basketball; the really big money is in that second contract, though, so you better have your game ready when you get to the pros. Not a lot of patience there.

Guys in the G-League make less money than players who go overseas to play ball.

8) There are also 18 referees who split their time between the NBA and G-League; when you see one of these G-League games, keep in mind that the refs are trying out for the bigtime, too.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Minnesota Twins gave P Tyler Clippard a one-year deal is worth $2.7M.
— Chicago White Sox signed P Gio Gonzalez to a one-year deal worth $4.5M.
— C Martin Maldonado signed a 2-year deal with Houston, worth $7M.
— 2B Ian Kinsler announced his retirement; he had 1,999 career hits.

6) I have a baseball cap collection that is too big, but had to look anyway when the new XFL caps came out. Think the Seattle team has the best logo, but it looks an awful lot like UAB’s logo. Houston’s logo is a smaller version of the old Houston Oilers’ logo.

5) Back when John Chaney was a highly-successful coach at Temple (1982-2006), if one of his players got two fouls in the first half, Chaney would take him out and the kid would sit for the rest of the half. It became a thing in college basketball, just about everyone did it.

Last few years, coaches are starting to play kids more with two fouls in first half, partially because rosters are generally thinner now, because of the transfer epidemic. Not a lot of teams go more than eight quality players deep.

4) Giants are going back to Daniel Jones at QB for their game at Washington Sunday.

3) Georgia 87, SMU 85 2OT— Fun game to watch; not sure how good these teams are, but they are evenly matched. SMU was only 8-32 on arc, but had 26 offensive rebounds. Three of their guys played 45:00, a 4th kid played 42:00. Georgia played ten guys 10:00+; no one played more than 37:00.

2) Buffalo 31, Charlotte 9— Bulls get their first bowl win in their 4th try; this was Charlotte’s first-ever bowl. Jaret Patterson ran for 173 yards and two TD’s for Buffalo.

1) Kent State 51, Utah State 41— Kent is coached by 33-year old Sean Lewis, the youngest I-A coach in the country. This was their first bowl win ever, only their fourth bowl ever. Kent went 7-6 TY, after being 12-47 the previous five years.

This might wind up being the most fun bowl game this year, unless you bet the under.

People at this game outside of Dallas looked like they were at Lambeau Field in January; they were dressed warmer than I was this week, when it was 10 degrees here in Albany. According to my phone, it was 47 degrees at the game. Oy.
