    ********************************************

    Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but…….

    — There isn’t enough good news in the world, but in the past week, 8-year old TJ Olsen was the recipient of a heart transplant, and is said to be doing very well. Great news for that family.

    TJ’s father posted a 12-second video on social media:
    “Hi everybody. Thank you for thinking of me. Thank you for praying with me. We love you guys, bye.”

    Obviously, for the kid to get a new heart, someone else had to pass away, and that is very sad. Does the family that donated the heart stay in contact with this kid’s family? They certainly have a great bond to build a new friendship around.

    — With legalized gambling more prevalent these days, NBA and college hoop teams need to juice up their security around the court, to protect the players/refs.

    In the Wizards-76ers series, some jackass ran on the floor and touched the backboard before he was tackled by security. What if he had been a gambler who was losing and went on tilt, and was ticked off at one of the players? Potentially horrific situation.

    — Major league baseball teams with highest payrolls:
    1) Dodgers $250,022,632
    2) Bronx $202,186,977
    3) NY Mets $196,470,288

    — Major league teams with lowest payrolls:
    30) Cleveland Indians $52,607,580
    29) Pittsburgh Pirates $54,944,471
    28) Baltimore Orioles $57,688,298

    — So far this season, Colorado Rockies’ catchers are 8-86 (.093) on the road.

    — Tampa Bay Rays have scored 122 runs from the 7th inning on, most in MLB so far.

    — Alex Rodriguez thinks Alex Cora is the best manager in baseball:

    “I think Alex Cora is the best manager in the game. He’s a world champion and he understands the game, 360. Obviously it’s paying dividends. I knew he would improve the team but I didn’t know it would be this paradigm shift…….”

    This is Cora’s third year as a big league skipper, interrupted by last year’s suspension for his part in the Houston sign-stealing debacle- he was a coach there. Interesting opinion by ARod.

    — Kansas City Royals brought up prospect Jackson Kowar to make his MLB debut Monday nite, but it didn’t go well; the Florida alum faced seven batters, got only two of them out, throwing 39 pitches and not finishing the first inning.

    Big jump from AAA to the majors; his next start is in Oakland this weekend, so hopefully he won’t bounce back right away.

    — Seattle Mariners brought their big prospect up to the majors last month, but Jarred Kelenic went 8-83 in 23 games, and now he is back in AAA, where the manager will have to be a master psychologist to give the kid his confidence back.

    Kelenic had three hits in his second MLB game, but is 0 for his last 39.

    — Over the last decade, the LA Angels haven’t drafted one pitcher who has thrown 100+ innings in a season for them; this is epic failure. They’ve got Trout, they had Pujols, still have Rendon, Ohtani and Walsh, but pitching is an important part of baseball.

    — Cincinnati Reds are 9-6 in one-run games this year, which doesn’t sound like much, until you consider that from 2014-20, they were 138-224 (.381) in one-run games, so that a big improvement for them.

    — Mikey Dixon is a 6-2 guard who will be playing his final season of college basketball this coming winter; the kid has gotten around.
    2016-17— played in 31 games for Quinnipiac, shot 37% on the arc
    2018-19— played in only 14 games for St John’s; big jump up from the NEC.
    2019-20— played in 18 games for Grand Canyon, shooting 43% on the arc.
    2020-21— played in 20 games for Grand Canyon, shooting only 27.5% on the arc.

    2021-22— He’ll be playing at Idaho; everyone who played last year got another free year of eligibility, which he is taking advantage of.

    Kid should write a book; not many people have gone to college in Connecticut, New York City, Arizona and Idaho.

    — Alabama football coach Nick Saban will turn 70 this fall; he signed a contract extension this week thru 2028— does anyone think he’ll still be coaching when he is 77?

    Contracts like this are meant to silence the whispers of rival recruiters, who might infer to their recruits that Saban is going to retire soon.

    — Middle of the night the other night, I’m watching Hoosiers for the 100th time, so of course I got to thinking about various conversations I’ve had about this movie.

    Buddy of mine and I have had a debate for years; who was the better coach, Norman Dale in Hoosiers (Gene Hackman) or Ken Reeves in The White Shadow (Ken Howard)?

    To me, this is simple; Ken Reeves was the much better coach:
    — In Norman Dale’s first game at Hickory High, he finished the game with four players on the court, and he had a healthy guy sitting on the bench.
    — If Jimmy Chitwood hadn’t decided to play, Coach Dale would’ve been fired quickly , and it would’ve wound up being kind of a depressing movie.
    — Even after Jimmy Chitwood started playing, Coach Dale always wanted to use him as a decoy to set up other players to score. Even his drunk assistant coach (Dennis Hopper) knew enough to draw up the picket fence play for Jimmy to score.

    — Coach Reeves played in the NBA, which had to be a big advantage for a high school coach.
    — Hoosiers trivia; the first choice to play Coach Dale was Jack Nicholson, then Robert Duvall.
    — Maris Valainis, the actor who played Jimmy, was the only actor of the Hickory kids who didn’t play high school basketball; he later became a golf pro.

    — Knicks’ coach Tom Thibodeau won NBA Coach of the Year, even though Suns’ coach Monty Williams got more first place votes.

    — Thibodeau has a fascinating background; he worked as an assistant coach for Bill Mussselman and Jerry Tarkanian (when he coached the Spurs). Two very unique personalities.
    — He spent four years as an assistant coach at Harvard, then jumped to Timberwolves when they were an expansion team- that had to be culture shock.
    — He’s also worked for Doc Rivers, Jeff Van Gundy; this a guy who needs to write a book about his career. He must have a boatload of great stories to tell.

    — Nets 125, Bucks 86 (Nets lead series 2-0)— Not a good advertisement for the league. There were only 16 free throws taken in the whole game. Hopefully the Bucks will play a little better when the series moves back to Milwaukee.

    100— Zack Wheeler, Phil
    96— Trevor Bauer, LA

    Quote of the Day
    “Playing on a torn meniscus is not easy. All I can do is keep managing it. Do my best, get as much treatment as I can. Try to manage it to make sure it doesn’t swell up too much. Obviously, the pain is going to be there. That’s normal. But it’s all about managing it and doing whatever it takes to win. My goal is to win a championship and I’m going to put my body on the line to make sure that happens. I’m going to give everything I got.”
    76ers’ star Joel Embiid

    Monday’s quiz
    Who led the NBA in scoring this season?

    Sunday’s quiz

    Saturday’s quiz
    Johnny Manziel played in 14 games, starting 8, for the Cleveland Browns.

    *************************************************

    Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports weekend

    13) Patrick Cantlay won the Memorial golf tournament in Ohio Sunday, winning in a playoff against Colin Morikawa. Cantlay banked a cool $1.7M for the win, but that wasn’t the biggest golf story this weekend.

    Jon Rahm led this tournament by six strokes after the third round, but he tested positive for COVID twice and had to withdraw. Guy leads by six strokes after three rounds, he ain’t going to lose; testing positive cost him $1.7M, plus a few more weeks on the bench.

    12) Orioles’ OF Cedric Mullins went 5-5 with two homers Saturday, becoming the third Oriole ever to do that- Brooks Robinson, Cal Ripken Jr were the others. Thats Oriole royalty there.

    Mullins is a vastly improved player this season, hitting .322 with a .923 OPS. Coming into this season, he was a career .225 hitter in 374 career AB’s.

    11) Atlanta Falcons are going to trade 32-year old WR Julio Jones to Tennessee, getting draft picks in the 2nd/4th round in exchange.

    New Falcons coach Arthur Smith had been an assistant coach in Tennessee the last 10 years, so its an interesting deal.

    Arthur Smith trivia: His father is the founder/CEO of FedEx. He is really, really rich.

    10) Milwaukee 2, Arizona 0— Diamondbacks have lost 17 straight road games.

    9) Reds 8, Cardinals 7— Cincinnati led 7-0, blew the lead, then won when Jesse Winker hit his third homer of the game in the 9th inning. Reds swept this four-game series.

    8) Rays 7, Rangers 1— Texas has lost 11 of its last 12 games.

    7) Clippers 126, Mavericks 111 (LA wins series 4-3)
    — First game in series where home side won
    — Kawhi Leonard scored 28, had 10 boards, nine assists.
    — Luka Doncic scored 46 in a losing cause.

    6) Hawks 128, 76ers 124 (Atlanta leads 1-0)
    — Joel Embiid scored 39 while playing with torn meniscus in his knee.
    — Hawks were 20-47 on the arc, 24-39 inside the arc.
    — Ben Simmons was 3-10 on the foul line; this will never not bother me, how a player of his skill can be so putrid on the foul line.

    5) Andy Dalton is Chicago Bears’ new QB, until rookie Josh Fields is ready to go; Dalton has been in NFL for 10 years, has a 74-66-2 record, playing for 7 different offensive coordinators.

    4) Former NBA great Gary Payton is going to be the basketball coach at Lincoln U, which is in Oakland and doesn’t yet have a basketball team. Their eventual goal is to be a Division I team; Payton has never coached, which is no big deal.

    Must admit, I’ve never heard of Lincoln U, until now.

    3) Phillies 12, Giants 6— Game was delayed in the 8th inning when the protective netting behind the plate on the first base side fell down. Took them a decent amount of time to get the netting back up. Naturally, they were booed by the fans when things were going slowly.

    2) Orlando Magic fired coach Steve Clifford, who was 96-131 in three years there, making the playoffs the last two seasons, but not this one.

    1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
    NL- Mets, Mil or Cubs, Giants. Wild Card: Dodgers @ Padres
    AL- Rays, White Sox, A’s. Wild Card: Astros @ Red Sox
