Sunday’s 6-pack
Odds to win the college basketball title next April:
7-1— Gonzaga
9-1— Memphis, Michigan
14-1— Kentucky, Texas, UCLA
16-1— Purdue
18-1— Duke, Illinois, Kansas, Villanova
20-1— Alabama

Quote of the Day:
“If you catch the ball, you don’t have to run after it.”
An old Little League coach, from back in my childhood

Sunday’s quiz
Where did Gardner Minshew play his college football?

Saturday’s quiz
Chip Kelly was coach of the Eagles after Andy Reid; he is now coach at UCLA.

Friday’s quiz
Romeo Crennel (4-15) was coach of the Chiefs before Andy Reid.

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

Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday

13) Illinois (+10) 30, Nebraska 22— When your team’s coach is on the hot seat before Labor Day, that’s not good, but that is where Nebraska’s Scott Frost is after this loss. Nebraska is now 16-29 SU in its last 45 games.

Solid start for Bret Bielema with the Illini; his defense scored a TD just before halftime, a lead they never relinquished.

12) Fresno State 45, UConn 0— Huskies appear to be something of an expansion team; they didn’t play any games last year- they were outgained 538-107 on this very hot day, with kickoff before noon local time. Why didn’t the TV folks put this game on at night?

11) UCLA 44, Hawai’i 10— Bruins host LSU next week, which will be a much truer test of their team. This game was 31-3 at halftime; UCLA ran ball for 244 yards, threw for only 148.

10) LSU’s football team got out of Baton Rouge ahead of the hurricane; they’ll be staying in Houston for the next six days, before they head to Los Angeles to play the Bruins.

9) UTEP 30, New Mexico State 3— Miners averaged 12.5 yards/pass attempt; first two times they threw the ball, they gained 50+ yards both times— one was called back by a holding penalty. Let’s just say that New Mexico State has almost no experience; they completed only 9-33 passes for the game.

8) Jacksonville Jaguars traded QB Gardner Minshew to the Eagles for a 6th-round pick; the backup to rookie QB Trevor Lawrence is now CJ Beathard, who used to play for the 49ers.

7) Ravens 37, Washington 3— Baltimore wins their 20th straight preseason game; they’re 12-3 ATS in last fifteen. This streak goes back so far that Kyle Boller played QB for the Ravens in some of those games.

6) Shohei Ohtani stole his 20th base this weekend; he has 40 homers, 20 steals, and is 8-1, 3.00 in 19 starts on the mound. No one has ever done stuff like this before.

5) Houston Astros picked up old friend Marwin Gonzalez after Boston dumped him; he is a versatile guy who hit only .211 last year, .202 this year, but he hit .264 in seven years with the Astros (2012-18).

4) Marlins’ TV posted this stat last night; players on 40-man rosters from other countries:
136—- Dominican Republic
104— Venezuela
31— Cuba

3) Was watching a Billions marathon Saturday night; am reminded that hedge fund trader Bobby Axelrod’s character was modeled after Mets owner Steve Cohen. Then I read the Mets have lost their last eight one-run games and I wonder if the Mets miss the playoffs, who will their new manager be?

If Cohen is anything like Bobby Axelrod and Mets miss the playoffs, Luis Rojas is toast.

2) By the way, the Mets retired Jerry Koosman’s #36 Saturday night; he was the Mets’ #2 pitcher during the Tom Seaver era, when they won the ’69 Series, lost the ’73 Series. Very good pitcher, great honor.

When are the Mets going to retire Dwight Gooden’s #16? He was the Seaver of his era, leading the Mets to the ’86 World Series title and ’88 playoffs. He had some personal problems off the field, but so did Koosman. Gooden’s work on the field was tremendous.

1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
NL: Braves, Brewers, Giants. Wild Card: Cincinnati @ Los Angeles
AL: Rays, White Sox, Astros. Wild Card: Boston @ New York

99— Joey Gallo, NYY
81— Robbie Grossman, Det
74— Bryce Harper, Phil
73— Max Muncy, LA
72— Carlos Santana KC, Vladimir Guerrero, Tor

Quote of the Day:
“……..without Brady he (Bill Belichick) is just another coach in my opinion.”
DB Asante Samuel, who played five years for New England

Thursday’s quiz
Major League Baseball added four expansion teams in 1969; Royals, Padres, Expos and a 4th team, which became the Milwaukee Brewers in 1970; what team was that?

Wednesday’s quiz
Gavin MacLeod played the main writer for the news on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Tuesday’s quiz
Tennessee Titans’ backup QB Matt Barkley has thrown for the most yards in history of USC football.

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

Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud………

13) With COVID still hovering around our country, NFL needs to put in a rule where every team has three QB’s active every week. Lot of teams only have two QB’s active; if one tests positive for COVID, then you’re in a situation where an injury leaves a team without a QB and that would be a killer for the quality of the product you’re putting on TV every week.

12) Packers-Saints Week 1 was moved to Jacksonville, due to all the damage done in the New Orleans area. After Hurricane Katrina, Saints played their home games in San Antonio.

11) Tulane will play home football games at Legion Field in Birmingham, AL.

10) MLB sources are saying Dodgers’ P Trevor Bauer could eventually be facing a suspension of up to a year, once all this legal wrangling is over with. He’s getting paid while on administrative leave now- he makes $28M a year.

I’m in a 14-team dynasty fantasy league and Bauer got cut today- no one’s picked him up.

9) Rockies 9, Rangers 5:
— Colorado scored five runs in 9th inning, had only one hit.
— Texas committed 4 errors in last inning, also issued two walks.

8) Mets’ acting GM Zack Scott got pulled over for DUI Monday night, coming home from a party at the Connecticut home of Mets’ owner Steve Cohen.

Scott is Mets’ acting GM because the last GM got fired for harassing female reporters.

Oy.

7) Seattle Mariners announced multi-year contract extensions for GM Jerry Dipoto, manager Scott Servais, so ownership is happy with their team’s progress. Servais is a very good manager.

Mariners 1, Astros 0— Seattle shuts Houston out for second day in row; former Astro Abraham Toro drove in the only run.

6) Because of vaccine requirements in New York City, San Francisco, players for Knicks, Nets and Warriors will have to be vaccinated, or else they’ll be ineligible to play home games next season.

5) NBA’s Atlanta Hawks signed Clint Capela to a 2-year, $46M extension.

4) Dallas Cowboys claimed QB Will Grier from Carolina; they’re looking to upgrade over their current backup QB’s.

3) Dodgers 4, Braves 3— LA is in first place for first time since April 28.

2) Reds/Cardinals split a twinbill; they both gained a half-game on San Diego, which lost 8-3 in Arizona.

1) Red Sox 3, Rays 2— Jarren Duran knocked in the game-winning run in last inning; Boston picks up a game on the A’s, who lost 8-6 in Detroit.
