STRUGGLING ALL-STAR

The Nashville Predators and, more specifically, goaltender Pekka Rinne are in a slump. The veteran goalie gave up four more goals on Saturday which brings his total to 29 goals allowed in his last eight games. On Monday, Rinne and the Preds will travel to the Big Apple to take on the New York Rangers.

The Rangers averaged nearly four goals a game over their most recent four-game road trip as their power play went 4-for-12 as well. New York also sits fourth in the league in expected goals since December 8.

Nashville has recently been playing better than usual on it's penalty kill, as it has killed off its last seven penalties, but still sits 24th in the league at 77.5 percent. The Preds are due to give up a PP tally or two and the young guys from New York might oblige. Take the Rangers’ team total Over 2.5.

A BOLT OF OVER

The Ottawa Senators have hit the Over in six of their last eight games as their scoring chance shooting percentage sits fifth-best in December. They have also allowed their opponents to score three or more goals in six of their last eight, making Tuesday’s match against the Tampa Bay Lighting a great spot for an Over.

The Lightning may be the most disappointing team this year as they sit fifth in the Atlantic Division. The Bolts are just 2-5 SU at home in their last seven but the goal-light operator has been busy at the Amalie Arena as Tampa has hit the Over nine times in its last twelve home games.

Tampa Bay has the second-best power play in the league and could get ample opportunity to prove themselves against the Senators’ who are averaging nearly four minor penalties a game in December. Take the Over 6.5 on this Tuesday matchup.

STINGY NETMINDERS

The Carolina Hurricanes have not allowed a regulation goal in over 130 minutes of hockey — a streak that spans three games. On Wednesday, they will square off with the Winnipeg Jets who bounced back Sunday night with a win after losing to the lowly Red Wings on Saturday.

Wednesday night’s tilt has the looks of a low-scoring affair. Both Carolina and Winnipeg sit in the Top-6 in goals against on the season but have been even stingier in December. Combined, the Jets and Canes have allowed just 22 goals in their 11 games this month.

Winnipeg is 4-9-2 O/U at home this year and are 2-5-1 O/U in its last eight while the Hurricanes are 2-9 O/U in their last 11 and 7-9 O/U on the road this year. Hit the Under 5.5 on Tuesday and if it opens at 6, give it a double-tap.

SNOWSTORM HEADED TO CHICAGO

The Colorado Avalanche will take their four-game road winning streak into St. Louis on Monday and then to Chicago on Wednesday. Colorado’s offense is back to full health and has been getting scoring production from its Top-9 forwards. That's bad news for the Blackhawks who have allowed their opponents to score four or more goals in seven of their last nine and are 2-4 ATS in their last six.

Colorado has been one of the league's best traveling teams this year and are 11-6 SU on the road and are averaging 3.4 goals a game while playing better defensive hockey than any other club over their last 10 games.

With how hot (and deep) the offense has been of late as well as the stellar play from goalie Pavel Francouz, we are going to ride the Avalanche -1.5 Puck Line on Wednesday night.

GOALIE PROFILE: SEMYON VARLAMOV, NEW YORK ISLANDERS

Nobody thought that Semyon Varlamov would be 11-3-2 with a 2.24 goals against and a .928 save percentage halfway through December, but here we are. The Russian netminder finds himself among the league leaders in most goalie stats and has been a winner in each of his last four starts.

On Tuesday, the Islanders will host the Nashville Predators who will have to do something most teams haven’t been able to do this year, which is score goals in Long Island. Varlamov and the Islanders have not allowed an opponent to score more than two goals at home in six of their last eight. New York has just shut it down defensively this month and allows the fewest goals against at home.

We feel that the Islanders’ ML is the right play here, but if it is outpriced (below -140) we have no problems taking the Under 2.5 on the Predators’ team total.

INJURY UPDATE: F JARED SPURGEON, MINNESOTA WILD

The Minnesota Wild have climbed up the Western Conference standings of late having picked up the second-most points in the West over their last 10 games. Things could be getting even better with the return of defenseman Jared Spurgeon this week.

Spurgeon has been out since December 3 and was second on the team in average ice time at 23:15 a game. Getting the D-man back for Tuesday’s contest against the Vegas Golden Knights could be a big boost for the Wild’s special teams as Spurgeon plays on the top penalty-killing unit and the second power-play unit. The Wild ML should be a great value with Minnesota playing on the road.

HAT TRICK TRENDS

• The Colorado Avalanche have the league’s best away record on first-period Overs. The Avs are 14-3 O/U first-period totals on the road and will head to St. Louis on Monday to take on the Blues who are 4-2 O/U first-period totals in their last six.

• Under bettors had a great week last week as the Unders in 26 of the 44 games (59%). There are fewer totals of 6.5 these days as the league has seen the Under trend take over. Monday’s opening lines listed zero games at 6.5. The Washington at Columbus total of 6 is looking like our favorite for the Under.

• On Tuesday, the Ottawa Senators will face the Lightning in what will be the tail end of a back-to-back. The Sens should be big underdogs, especially on the road. Ottawa is 5-5 SU in their last 10 games when being a +150 underdog or higher.

Korpisalo helps Blue Jackets beat Capitals 3-0
December 16, 2019
By The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Joonas Korpisalo stopped 30 shots in his third career shutout, and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Washington Capitals 3-0 on Monday night.

It was just the second win in eight games for Columbus, with both coming against NHL leading-Washington.

Oliver Bjorkstrand scored twice for the Blue Jackets, and Eric Robinson had the other goal.

Braden Holtby stopped 18 shots for Washington, which lost for just the second time in its last 10 games and suffered its first road defeat since Nov. 20.

BLUES 5, AVALANCHE 2

ST. LOUIS (AP) - David Perron scored three times in his fifth career hat trick, powering St. Louis to the victory.

Vince Dunn and Jordan Kyrou also scored for the Blues, who remained atop the Central Division with 48 points. The Avalanche stayed in second with 45.

Jordan Binnington made 26 saves in his third consecutive victory.

Colorado goalie Philipp Grubauer made his first appearance since he suffered a lower-body injury Dec. 7 in Boston. He stopped 31 shots.

Nazem Kadri and Mikko Rantanen scored in the second period for the Avalanche.

PREDATORS 5, RANGERS 2

NEW YORK (AP) - Roman Josi had two goals and an assist, leading Nashville to the victory.

Rocco Grimaldi, Mattias Ekholm and Ryan Ellis also scored to help the Predators win for the third time in five games. Juuse Saros stopped 39 shots.

Chris Kreider and Artemi Panarin scored for the Rangers, losers of three of their last five (2-2-1). Alexandar Georgiev made 19 saves.

The Rangers went 0 for 4 on the power play, with Saros stopping all 11 shots during the man advantages.

OILERS 2, STARS 1

DALLAS (AP) - Leon Draisaitl scored another power-play goal for Edmonton, and Mikko Koskinen made 34 saves.

Edmonton has scored on an NHL-leading 31% of its power plays, including 10 man-advantage goals in its past eight games.

Koskinen made 17 saves in the third period. He allowed only Tyler Seguin's goal with 2:37 to play after the Stars had pulled Ben Bishop for an extra skater.

Zack Kassian also scored for the Oilers, and Connor McDavid had two assists.

PANTHERS 6, SENATORS 1

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) - Noel Acciari scored three times for his first career hat trick, and the Panthers snapped a three-game losing streak.

Aleksander Barkov, Mike Matheson and Dominic Toninato also scored for Florida, and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 29 shots in his sixth straight start. Jonathan Huberdeau had four assists, giving him 400 career points in 500 NHL games.

Artem Anisimov scored for the Senators, who have lost eight of their past 11 games. Anders Nilsson made 25 saves.

Florida grabbed control with five goals in the second period.

Tuesday’s 6-pack

Interesting Week 16 NFL games:

— Bills @ Patriots (-6.5)

— Texans (-3) @ Buccaneers

— Saints (-1.5) @ Titans

— Bengals @ Dolphins (-1)

— Cowboys (-2.5) @ Eagles

— Packers @ Vikings (-4.5)

Quote of the Day:
“I mean, they could be (the final two games). I don’t necessarily expect that it is, or I don’t necessarily think it’s a crazy thought that it will be. I think you just don’t know.”
Philip Rivers, contemplating his future

Tuesday’s quiz
What fine actor played the football coach at Wisconsin in the movie Draft Day?

Monday’s quiz
Ben Simmons played his one year of college basketball at LSU.

Sunday’s quiz
The Liberty Bowl is played in Memphis every December.

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

Tuesday’s List of 13: Nobody asked me, but…..

13) Arizona Diamondbacks gave Madison Bumgarner $85M for five years, lot less than the $118M the Phillies gave Zack Wheeler for the same five years. Surprising.

12) Seahawks’ WR Josh Gordon has been suspended indefinitely for violating the NFL’s policies on performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse.

If anyone else gives this guy a chance, they’re a moron; Gordon should be banned by the NFL. He’s been suspended six times since 2013. Enough already.

11) Jameis Winston is the first player EVER to throw for 450+ yards in consecutive regular-season games (Drew Brees did it in consecutive playoff games).

10) Carolina Panthers will start rookie QB Will Grier this week against Indianapolis; Carolina lost its last six games, has already fired their coach.

9) Saints 34, Colts 7:
— Horrible, non-competitive effort by the Colts, one of the worst Monday night games ever.
— New Orleans needs two wins and a Green Bay loss to earn a bye in playoffs.
— ESPN crew turned telecast into a Drew Brees infomercial; Brees was 29-30/307 with four TD passes.

— Booger McFarland called Tom Brady the best QB ever; so if he was drafting a team, with every QB ever (in his prime) available, and he had the first pick, he would take Brady over Elway, Marino, Montana and Peyton Manning? Seriously?

8) Sunday night was the first time the Buffalo Bills had been on Sunday Night Football since 2007; it was the first time they beat the Steelers since 1999.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Texas Rangers acquired 34-year old P Corey Kluber from Cleveland, for Delino DeShields Jr and a prospect.
— Minnesota signed reliever Sergio Romo.
— Tampa Bay signed Japanese OF/1B Yoshitomo Tsutsugo.

6) North Carolina lost four of its last five games after a 5-0 start; they lost to Wofford Sunday (for 2nd time in three years) after scoring 49-47 points in their previous two losses. Tar Heels have the #308 eFG%; they’re not shooting ball well (28.7% on arc (#304), 44.6% inside arc (#298), 63.2% on line (#317)).

Freshman Cole Anthony is their best player, and he is out indefinitely now with a knee injury. Carolina plays at Gonzaga Wednesday; they’ll be the underdog there.

5) Miami Heat are paying Dion Waiters $12,100,000 this year, $12,650,000 next year, but they have problems with him.

Miami suspended Waiters for the second time in three months when he called in sick, then later posted a picture of himself enjoying some time on a boat, one of more than a half dozen team violations by Waiters this season, including complaining on the bench during the preseason, refusing to do a required weigh-in and several inappropriate posts on social media.

4) Virginia Tech announced Tracy Claeys as the team’s new linebackers coach; Claeys was the DC at Washington State this year, but was the scapegoat and left his job after the Coogs lost 67-63 to UCLA, blowing a 49-17 third quarter lead.

3) Milwaukee Brewers signed OF Avasail Garcia to a 2-year contract for $20M; Garcia hit 20 HR’s with 72 RBI for the Rays LY, in what CBS Sports described as: “…….an uncharacteristically productive season.” Not exactly high praise there.

2) Kansas Jayhawks are the 5th #1 team in college basketball this season, the most #1 teams ever for this early in the season.

1) Out of 353 Division I college basketball teams, only four are still unbeaten; Liberty and Duquesne are two of them (Auburn, San Diego State are the others). Go figure.

In the Crease - Week 12
Joe Williams

Kids and the Hall

The Arizona Coyotes acquired F Taylor Hall from the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday, bolstering an already strong group in the desert. They head into play tied with the Edmonton Oilers at the top of the Pacific Division with 42 points and a game in hand. They're each one point ahead of the Vegas Golden Knights, and two points ahead of the Calgary Flames. So the Coyotes kicked off the arms race by strengthening their roster with Hall joining big offseason acquisition F Phil Kessel and a host of other younger forwards. The Coyotes rank 25th in the NHL with just 2.6 goals per game, and they're 19th in shots on goal (31.0). While the power play ranks 10th at 20.8 percent, the Coyotes needed some additional firepower.

The Coyotes have struggled, including a 2-1 loss to the aforementioned Devils on Saturday as -215 favorites. They haven't won consecutive games at home since winning three in a row on home ice from Oct. 10-19. Arizona has struggled, alternative wins and losses in the past six outings despite the fact Darcy Kuemper has been one of the top goaltenders in the NHL. He is 14-7-0 with a sparkling 1.97 goals-against average and .935 save percentage with two shutouts. He might be approaching 20 wins if he was getting any kind of regular offensive support.

Looking Ahead

Tuesday, Dec. 17

Buffalo at Toronto: The Sabres and Maple Leafs square off at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto for the third time since Nov. 29. The Sabres won the first battle in Buffalo by a 6-4 score as +135 underdogs, while the Leafs returned the favor by a 2-1 score in overtime as -245 favorites. In that back-to-back set, Linus Ullmark bested Michael Hutchinson, while in the meeting in Toronto we had Frederik Andersen topping Carter Hutton. The latter is the goaltender battle to expect on Tuesday. The Sabres are 1-6 in the past seven meetings, and 4-17 in their past 21 forays across the Peace Bridge and up the QEW to Toronto.

Arizona at San Jose: The Coyotes will have their new toy on display at SAP Center, as Hall joins the roster for the first time in San Jose. Arizona has actually been heads and tails better on the road, going 8-8-0-1 at home, and 11-4-2-1 (14-4) in their 17 games on the road (+253). The Coyotes are 9-4 in the past 13 on the road, but just 1-4 in the past five inside the division. The Sharks are just 1-6 in the past seven overall, but they're 5-0 inside the Pacific Division and 10-3 in the past 13 against Western Conference foes. The Coyotes are 3-7 in the past 10 meetings with the Sharks, and just 7-17 in the past 24 trips to the Bay Area.

Wednesday, Dec. 18

Edmonton at St. Louis: The Blues won the Stanley Cup last season, while the Oilers pine to just make the playoffs and have another shot at the holy grail of hockey. After years of top picks and then disappointment, Edmonton is finally starting to put it together this season. While they're solid overall, they have won just once in the past five overall, and they're 3-15 in the past 18 against the Central Division. They'll need to make inroads against the Central if they want to do any damage. Conversely, the Blues have won nine of the past 12 against the Pacific Division, and they're 7-3 in the past 10 games overall. Edmonton is 4-12 in the past 16 trips to St. Louis, and they're just 9-24 in the past 33 meetings overall in the series. The under is also 7-3 in the past 10 meetings.

Thursday, Dec. 19

N.Y. Islanders at Boston: The Islanders and Bruins hook up at TD Garden in Beantown. The Bruins have been super powerful, ranking fourth in the NHL with 3.4 goals per game while ranking third on the power play at 26.2 percent. Defensively, the B's rank fourth with 2.4 goals allowed, while ranking 10th in penalty kill at 83.3 percent. This is the first meeting of the season between these two Eastern Conference contenders. The last time these teams met on March 19 on the Island, the B's came away with a 5-0 victory behind Tuukka Rask. In fact, the B's swept the three-game series while outscoring the Isles 11-2. The Bruins have won three straight at home against the Islanders, outscoring them 8-3 with the 'under' cashing in four straight battles in Massachusetts.

Vancouver at Vegas: The Canucks were dumped 6-3 in Vegas, as Marc-Andre Fleury and the home team topped Jacob Markstrom, who allowed five goals before getting pulled in favor of Michael DiPietro on Sunday. Since Vegas came into the league before the 2017-18 season, the Golden Knights have posted a 8-1 record, with the lone loss at home. They're 4-0 all-time in Vancouver, outscoring the Canucks by a 20-11 margin wit the 'over' hitting in each of those four matchups. The over is 6-3 in the nine all-time meetings, including Sunday, with the Golden Knights averaging 4.6 goals per game to 2.3 goals per game for the Canucks.

Friday, Dec. 20

Pittsburgh at Edmonton: The Penguins hit the road for Alberta to battle the Oilers in what should be a high-scoring game. Of course, that was the thinking in the first meeting on Nov. 2, but the Pens fell 2-1 in overtime at PGH Paints Arena. Pittsburgh is 9-2 in the past 11 meetings, although they've been surprising close battles almost every time. In fact, five of the past eight games have been decided in overtime or a shootout. All but one of the previous nine meetings have been decided by one goal, so remember that if you're considering betting the puck line. The Penguins have won five straight trips to Edmonton, with the under 4-1 dating back to Jan. 10, 2014. That was an Oilers victory in overtime, 6-5, behind Jeff Zatkoff. Yeah, it's been a while.

Kopitar scores in OT to rally Kings past Bruins 4-3
December 17, 2019
By The Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) Anze Kopitar scored at 3:23 of overtime and the Los Angeles Kings rallied to beat the Boston Bruins 4-3 on Tuesday night.

Kopitar beat Tuukka Rask with a high wrist shot after Jonathan Quick had come up with a huge save at the other end, giving the Kings their fourth win in five games and extending their best stretch of the season (4-0-1).

Blake Lizotte had a goal and an assist for the Kings, who couldn't hold on to leads of 1-0 and 2-1 before rallying for a thrilling finish. Down 3-2 late in the third, the Kings pulled Quick for an extra skater and tied it on Matt Roy's slap shot with 2:01 left in regulation.

Adrian Kempe also scored for Los Angeles and Quick finished with 37 saves.

Danton Heinen had a goal and assist, and Patrice Bergeron and Brandon Carlo also scored for Boston, which fell to 1-5-1 in its last six and has lost two straight at home. Rask had 23 saves.

LIGHTNING 4, SENATORS 3, OT

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Anthony Cirelli scored with 12.7 seconds left in overtime to lift Tampa Bay past Ottawa.

Cirelli split two defenders near the blue line and lifted a shot past Marcus Hogberg.

Tampa Bay also got goals from Nikita Kucherov, Cedric Paquette and Brayden Point, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 25 saves.

Mark Borowiecki, Connor Brown and Anthony Duclair scored for the Senators. Hogberg, playing in his third game this season and seventh overall, stopped 36 shots.

MAPLE LEAFS 5, SABRES 3

TORONTO (AP) - Auston Matthews scored twice and Toronto held on to beat Buffalo.

Frederik Gauthier had a goal and an assist, and Dmytro Timashov and Ilya Mikheyev also scored for the Maple Leafs. Frederik Andersen stopped 27 shots and Tyson Barrie had two assists.

Matthews became the second player in franchise history to score at least 20 goals in each of his first four NHL seasons, joining Dave Keon, who did it in six straight from 1960-66.

Rasmus Dahlin and Jack Eichel had a goal and an assist each, and Kyle Okposo scored for Buffalo. Victor Olofsson added two assists, and Linus Ullmark finished with 28 saves for the Sabres.

PREDATORS 8, ISLANDERS 3

UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) - Nick Bonino had the tiebreaking goal late in the second period as Nashville got seven consecutive scores to rally for its second win in two nights.

Craig Smith had two goals and an assist, Filip Forsberg, Calle Jarnkrok, Roman Josi and Ryan Johansen each had a goal and an assist, and Rocco Grimaldi also scored to help the Predators win for the fourth time in six games. Pekka Rinne stopped 27 shots.

Brock Nelson, Derrick Brassard and Casey Cizikas scored in a 5:16 span of the second period to give the Islanders a 3-1 lead. However, it was all Predators after that. Thomas Greiss gave up five goals on 15 shots through two periods, and Semyon Varlamov stopped six of the nine shots he faced in the third.

FLYERS 4, DUCKS 1

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Philadelphia Flyers honored cancer-stricken teammate Oskar Lindblom and beat Anaheim behind goals by Claude Giroux, David Kase and Jake Voracek.

The Flyers played their first home game since Lindblom was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, a cancerous tumor that grows in the bones or in the tissue around bones. The 23-year-old from Sweden, who is out for the season, stopped by the locker room during morning skate and visited his teammates.

The Flyers warmed up in purple ''Hockey Fights Cancer'' jerseys and will auction them off with proceeds going to Ewing's sarcoma research. They left ''I Fight For Oskar'' signs on every seat, and fans held them during a tribute video for Lindblom. Ducks and Flyers players tapped their sticks and fans stood and applauded the promising forward who had 11 goals and 18 points in 30 games this season. Philadelphia sold (hash)OskarStrong purple shirts, and proceeds from the 50/50 raffle were donated toward Ewing's sarcoma research.

Carter Hart had 40 saves for the Flyers, and Sean Couturier added an empty-netter in the final seconds.

Rickard Rakell made it 2-1 in the second with his 10th goal for Anaheim. John Gibson finished with 27 saves.

BLUE JACKETS 5, RED WINGS 3

DETROIT (AP) - Pierre-Luc Dubois scored early in the third period and Gustav Nyquist added an empty-netter in the closing seconds, helping Columbus win its second straight.

Cam Atkinson and Oliver Bjorkstrand had goals 1:04 apart to put Columbus ahead midway through the first, and Kevin Stenlund tied it 3-3 midway through the second with his first NHL goal. Joonas Korpisalo finished with 18 saves.

Adam Erne scored twice and Tyler Bertuzzi also scored for Detroit, and Jonathan Bernier stopped 34 shots. The Red Wings have lost 14 of their last 16 games.

HURRICANES 6, JETS 3

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) - Sebastian Aho and Jordan Staal each scored twice, Andrei Svechnikov added his second lacrosse-style goal of the season, and Carolina extended its point streak to 5-0-1.

Lucas Wallmark also scored for Carolina, Dougie Hamilton contributed three assists, and Nino Niederreiter added two. Petr Mrazek made 30 saves for the Hurricanes, who are 3-0-1 during a five-game trip that ends Thursday in Colorado.

Jack Roslovic, Patrik Laine and Mark Scheifele scored for the Jets, who had won five straight at home. Connor Hellebuyck stopped 18 shots for Winnipeg before Laurent Brossoit replaced him to start the third period with Carolina ahead 5-2. Brossoit made four saves.

Wednesday’s 6-pack

Interesting Week 16 NFL games:

— Rams @ 49ers (-6.5)

— Lions @ Broncos (-6.5)

— Raiders @ Chargers (-6)

— Giants @ Redskins (-2.5)

— Cardinals @ Seahawks (-9.5)

— Chiefs (-5) @ Bears

Quote of the Day:
“Two guys weren’t really contributing at all and that one guy was just throwing the ball up all the time. I know Patrick (Ewing) can’t say that but I can. I watched him play 3 games. He lost 2 games by himself.”
Jim Boeheim, talking about Georgetown’s departed PG, James Akinjo

Wednesday’s quiz
When was the last time there was a Final Four without a team seeded 5th or lower in a region?

Tuesday’s quiz
Sam Elliott played the football coach at Wisconsin in the movie Draft Day.

Monday’s quiz
Ben Simmons played his one year of college basketball at LSU.

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

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……

13) One thing about the new baseball rule that will get talked about a lot in the spring; relievers will have to face 3+ batters in an appearance, unless they finish an inning, then they can be replaced between innings, even if they faced only one or two hitters.

Idea of the rule is to reduce pitching changes within a half-inning, to keep the pace of the game flowing better. There was a game last year where a team had five batters bat in the 8th inning, and they faced five different pitchers. Not good.

12) Appearances that would not have been allowed had the new rule been in effect during the las three seasons:
2019: 649— Oliver Perez had 22 of them, out of his 65 appearances.
2018: 712
2017: 720

11) In month of November, $316.5M was bet on sports in Pennsylvania, $562.7M was wagered in New Jersey; thats $879.2M, just in those two states.

10) North Carolina’s star freshman Cole Anthony is out 4-6 weeks after getting his knee scoped. Tar Heels are +69 this year when Anthony is in the game, minus-47 when he is on the bench.

9) Seth Greenberg and Sean Farnham were talking on ESPN2 last nite about leagues adding more teams to improve their profile in basketball- they were talking about Gonzaga. My thing is this: No league should have more than 12 teams in it; anything more becomes cumbersome.

ACC has 15 basketball teams: too many. Big 14/Atlantic 14? Same thing.

8) Detroit Lions announced that their coach/GM will both come back next year, which during a 3-10-1 season, is a little surprising. If I was a Lions’ fan, I’d have a stronger opinion on this, but thats there business. Lions haven’t won a playoff game since 1991.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Cincinnati Reds signed P Wade Miley
— Houston Astros gave P Joe Smith $8M for two years.

6) More than 25% of all grievances filed league-wide by NFL players for violations of the league’s CBA were filed against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which could be bad news for Jaguars’ VP Tom Coughlin. Dante Fowler is going to get about $700,000 back that the Jaguars fined him.

5) Dallas Mavericks upset the Bucks 120-116 in Milwaukee Monday, snapping the Bucks’ 18-game win streak, even with Dallas star Doncic (ankle) sitting out.

4) College football stuff:
— Former Rutgers coach Chris Ash in the new DC at Texas.
— Fresno State named Indiana OC Kalen DeBoer its new football coach.

3) Median sale price for a single-family house in San Francisco:
2010: $751,000
2019: $1.65M

2) RIP to former Iowa football coach Hayden Fry, who passed away Tuesday at age 90. Fry was the Iowa coach back when I was in college; he revitalized their program, going 96-61-5 in Big 10 games back when Michigan/Ohio State had been totally dominating the league.

1) Something to think about while you’re shoveling snow this week: Only 100 days until Opening Day of baseball season.

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Teams forcing most turnovers in America:

6) Arkansas 25.7%

5) Eastern Michigan 26.5%

4) Kansas State/South Florida 26.6%

3) Nicholls State 26.8%

2) VCU 28.1%

1) Stephen F Austin 29.5%

**********

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

13) Jacksonville Jaguars fired their executive VP of football operations Tom Coughlin Wednesday afternoon; Coughlin coached the Jaguars from 1995-2002, then won two Super Bowls coaching the Giants after that.

Jacksonville owner Shad Khan is planning to rebuild the entire front office and coaching staff, which is what happens when you have consecutive cruddy seasons.

12) Quote of the Day, part 2:

“It’s unlikely Jerry (Jones) will ever bring somebody in who can help this team in that regard because he’s been real stubborn and steadfast that he’s the one in charge. I think in a lot of ways, until that changes, this team is going to have some problems.”

Thats Troy Aikman saying that, which is ominous for the Cowboys

11) East Tennessee State 74, LSU 63— Wow, thats an impressive win. ETSU is in the Southern Conference. Not often a SoCon school beats an SEC squad; Buccaneers were up 23 with with 6:21 left- they start three seniors, two juniors.

Loyola Chi 78, Vanderbilt 70— Rough night for the SEC; Cameron Krutwig hd a triple-double for the Ramblers.

Cincinnati 78, Tennessee 66— Much-needed win for the Bearcats, who lost their last game to Colgate. Tennessee lost three of last five games after a 5-0 start.

10) If Gerrit Cole opts out of his 9-year, $36M a year contract, after fifth year, Bronx may void the opt-out and extend Cole’s contract one more year for $36M. That would increase value of deal to 10 years, $360M.

9) At least three Oklahoma football players, including defensive end Ronnie Perkins, were suspended for the Peach Bowl because they failed drug tests; Perkins is a sophomore, who has been the Sooners’ best pass rusher this season- he has a team-high six sacks to go with his 13.5 tackles for loss.

8) Gonzaga 94, North Carolina 81— ESPN’s Jay Bilas evaluates officials a lot more than he analyzes games; maybe he should switch careers.

Looks like North Carolina will miss the NCAA tournament; they’re not very good, and their best player is out for at least another month.

7) Clemson goes to Chapel Hill January 11; Tigers have NEVER won in Chapel Hill, they’re 0-and-40 something there, but this will be their best chance there in a long time.

6) Utah 69, Kentucky 66— Utes have 11 freshmen on their roster; they made 8-15 on arc in this game, Kentucky 2-17. Utah is the 3rd-least experienced team in country. Wildcats play Ohio State Saturday, also in Las Vegas.

5) Knicks hired former Cavaliers’ coach David Blatt as a basketball operations consultant; Blatt is one of the most successful coaches in international basketball history- he went 83-40 in a year and a half coaching Cleveland, back when Lebron James played there.

I’m jumping to conclusions here, but if he was 83-40 in Cleveland and left after only 1.5 years, then I assume that Lebron wasn’t thrilled with his coaching style.

4) Emmitt Smith’s son, EJ Smith, signed on to play football at Stanford next fall. He was ranked in the top 15 of available WR’s by ESPN.

3) Miami 108, Philadelphia 104— Heat hand the 76ers their first home loss in 15 games this season. Miami is 20-8; Erik Spoelstra is a very good coach.

2) Saint Mary’s 96, Arizona State 56— Gaels led this game 53-19 at halftime; this is one of the strangest boxscores I’ve ever seen.

A kid named Alonzo Verge scored 42 of ASU’s 56 points, and he didn’t start. Sounds like Bobby Hurley got disgusted and sat some of his starters- maybe they were sick or something. Verge was 18-29 from the floor. ASU’s starters shot a combined 5-30 from the floor.

1) Five years ago today, I retired from my job with the Division of Criminal Justice Services here in beautiful (when its not snowing) upstate New York; I’m living proof that time flies when you’re having fun.
