Quote of the Day
“You get paid a ton of money to do a certain job, and just do it, and let the chips fall where they may. I think we make too much money to voice an opinion, but I’m not saying he’s wrong. Again, I think it’s a different day and time, and it’ll be interesting to see how the organization handles it.” Brett Favre, talking about Deshaun Watson’s situation


Thursday’s quiz
Who are the only two coaches to win a Super Bowl and a Rose Bowl?


Wednesday’s quiz

Tuesday’s quiz
Minnesota was the first team to lose two Super Bowls, losing to the Chiefs in SB IV, Miami in Super Bowl VIII.


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


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


13) One of the best comebacks in NBA history happened Sunday; with 0:12.3 left, Washington trailed the Brooklyn Nets 146-141. Wizards then scored 8 points in the last 0:10 to pull out a highly unlikely 149-146 win. They hit two 3-pointers in a span of 4.3 seconds, then sealed the win with a couple of foul shots.


Over the last 25 years, there have been 23,507 NBA games where a team trailed by 5+ points in the last 0:10 of a game. Only nine (9!!!) of those 23,507 teams won.


12) There was a really bad beat in college ball Saturday, when LSU (+3) led Texas Tech 71-64 at home with 1:06 left in their game. The game ended in regulation, but Tech outscored LSU 12-0 over the final 1:06 and not only won the game, they covered.


11) 2019-20 was the first basketball season when NBA teams took a higher percentage of their shots behind the arc than college teams did.


10) People who who basketball stats should have a new category, a refined-assist stat, where an assist on a 3-pointer counts as 1.5 assists, a pass that leads to a made free throw counts as half an assist for each foul shot made.


It could compiled as “points assisted on”, would be more accurate than the current assist stat.


9) Baseball stuff:
— Minnesota Twins signed DH Nelson Cruz for one year, $13M


8) Los Angeles Angels have suspended pitching coach Mickey Callaway, in wake of five female reporters saying he sent them inappropriate pictures and unprompted texts over a span of at least five years. Oy.


7) An adventurous human wagered $520K to win $433K on the Chiefs (-3, -$120) in Sunday’s Super Bowl. Yikes.


6) There were some pretty big upsets Wednesday:
— East Carolina (+16) 82, Houston 73
— Georgetown (+14) 86, Creighton 79
— LaSalle (+11) 82, Saint Louis 75
— St John’s (+9) 70, Villanova 59
— South Carolina (+8.5) 76, Florida 70
— VMI (+8) 84, Wofford 80 OT


5) I’d like to watch the Caribbean baseball series on TV/Internet, but the games are only being shown on ESPN Deportes, and that isn’t included in my ESPN+ account. Not really interested in paying extra for a station where they don’t speak English, so no Caribbean Series for me.


4) TCU 81, Oklahoma State 78:
— Horned Frogs beat OSU twice this season, by 1-3 points.


3) Most new starting QB’s in one NFL season:
16— 1999
2021 is going to be close to that number.


2) Salary cap hits for 2021:
— Detroit Lions: Jared Goff $21M, Matthew Stafford $19M
— Los Angeles Rams: Goff $22M, Stafford $20M


1) RIP to the great actor Hal Holbrook, who passed away this week at age 95. Mr Holbrook has 135 acting credits on IMDB.com, last working on an episode of Hawaii Five-O in 2017. He had a distinctive voice and often played politicians in his movie roles.


RIP, sir.

Quote of the Day
“If I’m gonna be brutally honest I think it’s stupid. If we have to wear masks and do all this for a regular game, what’s the point of bringing the All-Star Game back? But obviously money makes the world go ’round, so it is what it is……..You know you get fined? If you’re supposed to be in it and you’re not hurt and you decide not to play, that’s a hefty fine. So hell yeah I would play in it. Hope I don’t get fined for saying that.”
De’Aaron Fox

Quote of the Day
“We are sort of splitting hairs here a little bit, but I would [take Wilson over Lawrence] as a matter of fact……..I think Zach, obviously, I just love the way he throws the football. It is hard to teach. We have seen people learn to perfect it a little bit. He has all the skills; he has a live arm, he has a strong arm, he can put touch on it, he can gun it. He is 6’3″, he is not a small guy. He moves around with great athleticism. I think, to me, watching him play quarterback, he looks really ready.”
Joe Theismann


Saturday’s quiz
Who was the Patriots’ starting quarterback before Tom Brady?


Friday’s quiz
Florida (2007-08) was the last college basketball team to repeat as national champs.


Thursday’s quiz
Dick Vermeil and Pete Carroll are the only two coaches to win a Super Bowl and a Rose Bowl.


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


Saturday’s Den: Random stuff with weekend here…….


13) Dodgers gave P Trevor Bauer a 3-year, $102M contract; Bauer has a $17M option on Year 3 of the contract, so it is really a 2-year, $85M deal, unless Bauer struggles badly and then doesn’t opt out after the second year. If he pitches well for two years, he’ll definitely opt out so he can make a lot more than $17M in 2023.


12) Some random observations from the contract:
— An agent’s take is generally 3%, so that is a minimum of $3,060,000 for the agent.


Two years ago, no MLB pitcher started more than 34 games. Assuming Bauer starts 34 games in each of the next two seasons, for which he will be paid $85M, that means he earns:
— $1,250,000 per start
— If he averages 6.2 innings per start (his average from 2018-20), that is $187,490.643 per inning, $62,496.88 per out.


Not bad for a guy with a 75-64 career record.


11) Braves signed OF Marcell Ozuna to a 4-year, $65M deal; Ozuna knocked in 56 runs in 60 games LY, his first year as a Brave.


10) These two contracts come on the heels of the news that the average major league salary went down last year, for the third year in a row.


9) Speaking of salaries, Clemson’s offensive coordinator now makes $2M a year, making him the third college coordinator to earn $2M+ a year. Not a bad gig for an assistant coach.


8) Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence, widely expected to be the #1 pick in the NFL Draft, is going to have surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder. Lawrence will throw for NFL scouts next Friday instead of on Clemson’s Pro Day, so he can have the operation and his shoulder will have more time to heal.


7) When Duke-North Carolina play tonight, it’ll be the first time since 1960 that the rivals have met, with neither team ranked in the top 25.


6) When he was a GM, Theo Epstein won World Series titles with the Red Sox and Cubs; he’ll probably be in the Hall of Fame someday, but even the great ones make mistakes now and then.


December 8, 2011, Epstein made this trade with Colorado:
— Rockies got DJ LeMahieu, Tyler Colvin
— Cubs got Ian Stewart, Casey Weathers


Not his finest moment, but he also got Anthony Rizzo for Andrew Cashner. Obviously, he’s done a lot more good than bad.


5) Didn’t take long for a Matthew Stafford 2021 betting prop to show up online:


— Over 28.5 TD passes (-$125)
— Under 28.5 TD passes (+$105)


4) Thru two rounds of this week’s PGA tournament in Phoenix, Xander Schauffele leads by a stroke; since the beginning of the 2017-18 season, this is the 26th time Schauffele has been in the top-10 through 36 holes, most of any player during that time.


3) In 54 Super Bowls, there have been 15 pick-6’s, where a team runs an INT back for a TD. The only team to score a pick-6 in a Super Bowl and lose? Atlanta Falcons four years ago.


2) Sounds like the NBA is going to have an All-Star Game on March 7, even though not all of the league’s stars are on board with that idea.


Sunday after that is Selection Sunday for the NCAA Tournament, March should be a fun month.


1) Over the last 25 years, Super Bowl teams who were #3 or lower seed in their conference are 8-3 SU, 11-0 ATS. Tampa Bay was the #5-seed in the NFC this year.

Quote of the Day
“I don’t understand the whole thing where he (Durant) couldn’t play, then he came on the court, then they took him back. There’s just a lot going on. There’s too much going on. It’s kind of overwhelming. We’re in the midst of a tough game, and these games are going to add up, especially if we’re talking about playoff seeding … to catch a rhythm. It’s overwhelming. It’s frustrating.”
James Harden

Quote of the Day
“I think light years. Just the mixture of all those guys in the secondary [and] solidifying the front. Again, going into last season, we had to get Shaq [Barrett] back [and] we had to get [Ndamukong] Suh back. Keeping everybody there [and] now getting Vita [Vea] back. That secondary was the key. Getting guys that could play man-to-man, that were aggressive bump-and-run type people that could also play zone, rather than soft zone players. It took a while, but I think Todd (Bowles) has just done a tremendous job and we’ve been winning with defense.”

Monday’s Den: Wrapping up Super Bowl Sunday


13) Coming into this season, in Tampa Bay’s entire franchise history, they had a 6-9 record in playoff games, and they had even won a Super Bowl before.


Summing that up, the Buccaneers had won six playoff GAMES. Tom Brady had six Super Bowl rings, making him a pretty solid upgrade over the previous Tampa Bay starter, Jameis Winston.


12) Tom Brady now has seven Super Bowl rings. Tampa Bay has 10 playoff wins.


11) Buccaneers 31, Chiefs 9:
— Teams combined to convert only 7-25 third down plays.
— Penalties in first half: Chiefs 8 for 95 yards, Tampa Bay one for 5 yards.


10) Tell your statistics to shut up: Chiefs outgained Tampa Bay, 350-340.


Chiefs gained 64-65-48 yards on last three drives, after the issue had been decided.


9) On their first seven drives, Tampa Bay scored four TD’s and were stopped on the 1-yard line on another drive.


8) On the drive where the Chiefs stopped Tampa Bay on the 1-yard line, Bucs threw a pass on 2nd down to OL Joe Haeg- it was broken up by a defender. No offensive lineman has ever scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl- he could’ve been the first.


7) Good trivia question: who was Tampa Bay’s backup QB?


Playing for his 4th NFL team in four years, it was Blaine Gabbert, who has a 13-35 career record as an NFL starter, mostly with Jacksonville. He looked happier as hell on the sidelines near the end of Sunday’s game. Super Bowl rings are hard to find, unless you stumble onto one at a Las Vegas pawn shop, or if you’re Vladimir Putin.


Quick side story: Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft does business in Russia; he met Putin once, and took off his Super Bowl ring to show Putin, who then stuck the ring in his pocket and quickly walked away, never to be seen again. Seriously, that really happened.


6) Jerry Greene of Detroit News covered his 55th consecutive Super Bowl Sunday; he is the only media member to cover every Super Bowl.


5) Chiefs’ over/under for the game was 3.5 touchdowns; they didn’t score one. Kansas City had three drives in the red zone, scored on only one of those drives, a field goal.


4) If you have a friend/relative who went all in wagering on the Chiefs Sunday, you might want to avoid them for a few days- they could be looking for a loan.


3) We mentioned couple of times over weekend that over the last 27 years, Super Bowl teams who were a #3 or lower seed in their conference were 10-0-1 ATS in Super Bowls; now we can make that 11-0-1 ATS. Not really sure why that is true; guess it speaks to teams gaining a lot of momentum/confidence as they get rolling in the playoffs.


2) Odds to win the Super Bowl next year:
11-2— Kansas City
9-1— Green Bay
11-1— Tampa Bay
12-1— Baltimore, Buffalo


1) Elsewhere, Brooks Koepka chipped in for eagle on the 17th hole to win the Phoenix Open; it was his second eagle of the day, when he shot a 6-under par 65.

Armadillo: Tuesday's Den: Nobody asked me, but……..


13) Former Raiders/Seahawks’ coach Tom Flores got elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame over the weekend; he seems like a good guy, won two Super Bowls. Congratulations.


Flores was 83-53 (.610) as coach of the Raiders, but in the nine years before he was their head coach, the Raiders were 91-31-6 (.746). Flores’ had an 8-3 record in playoff games, won two Super Bowls, which got him inducted. Fair enough.


I’ll repeat myself here:
Flores with Oakland 83-53 (.610)
9 years before that, Raiders were 91-31-6 (.746).


He later coached the Seahawks for three years, going 14-34.


12) I bring this up because if Tom Flores gets inducted into the Hall of Fame, then Dick Vermeil should get inducted, too. Here is Coach Vermeil’s resume:


1976-82— Eagles 54-47 (53.5%), won NFC title in his 5th year
8 years before that, Eagles were: 33-74-5 (30.8%)


1997-99— Rams 22-26 (45.8%), won Super Bowl in his 3rd year
7 years before that, Rams were 34-76 (30.9%)


2001-05— Chiefs 44-36 (.550)
3 years before that, Chiefs were 23-25 (.479)


It is a lot harder to turn around a losing program and make them champs. Coach Vermeil got to the Super Bowl with two franchises that were dumpster fires when he got there. It is time he got his day and was inducted into the Hall of Fame.


11) Houston Texans hired David Culley as their new head coach; he was the QB coach for Buffalo in Josh Allen’s rookie year, 2018. He’s never been an NFL coordinator.


Brian Daboll hasn’t gotten a head coaching job yet; he has been Buffalo’s offensive coordinator the last three years.


If you watched Josh Allen play in 2018, then watched him play this year, how on God’s green earth could you hire the QB coach from back then, and not Daboll, who has helped Allen’s skill level progress exponentially? It is nonsensical!!!!


10) Robert Morris College made a pretty big jump up in college basketball this year, moving from the NEC to the Horizon League, jumping from the 29th-ranked league to league #19.


Things aren’t going well; the Colonials are 2-11 vs D-I teams, 2-9 in Horizon League, losing their last eight games in a row. But four of their last seven losses came in overtime; including their last three home games.


Seems like this is a rough year for anything new in college basketball; changing leagues means all new road trips, and it is a much better league, with new, tougher opponents. Robert Morris went 24-12 in the NEC the last two years; sounds like they need to step up their recruiting some.


9) You look at the college basketball top 25, and none of these teams are ranked:
Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, UCLA


Last time these five teams were unranked at the same time? 1961.


8) Tampa Bay RB Leonard Fournette scored a TD in all four of Tampa Bay’s playoff games this year, joining Terrell Davis (1997), Larry Fitzgerald (2008) as only players to score a TD in four playoff games in the same season.


7) How is Ben Simmons a career 56.4% shooter on the foul line? The guy is one of the best passers I’ve ever seen, he’s a really, really good player but he can’t shoot- go figure.


6) Speaking of shooting, I heard yesterday that Stephen Curry turns 33 years old next month; time flies, doesn’t it? Can still remember sitting in Graney’s Bar on New Scotland Avenue, watching his Davidson team play in the NCAAs. Hard to believe it was 13 years ago.


Quick aside; if you’re ever in Albany, Graney’s is an excellent sports bar. Lot of TV’s, good food and the bartenders are very attractive. Very good place to watch ballgames.


5) Baseball stuff:
— Cardinals signed C Yadier Molina for one year, $9M
— Angels signed DH Shohei Ohtani for two years, $8.5M.


4) Washington State suspended its starting QB after the kid was arrested for DUI; he went thru a stop sign, then drove the wrong way down a one-way street. Not good.


3) The great basketball scout Tom Konchalski passed away Monday at age 74, after a battle with cancer. He was widely praised as a kind and trusted counselor, a historian of New York-area basketball and he has been remembered by many as a great friend. When you’re from New York City and get praised as being a nice person, you KNOW he was a nice person.


2) On national TV Sunday, Jeff Van Gundy/Mark Jackson were praising Mr Konchalski- Rutgers hired Van Gundy as an assistant coach, largely on Konchalski’s recommendation to Bob Wenzel, who was the Scarlet Knights’ coach back then. Mark Jackson was a great high school player in NYC, and also spoke highly of Mr Konchalski.


1) Long time ago, November 2000, I was.a lucky enough to be an assistant coach at Schenectady HS; our team drove south and scrimmaged Christ the King in the Bronx. Mr Konchalski was there; he was a great gym rat, and he knew the top-flight recruits for sure, but he also studied the D-3 level players. He just loved basketball, and was a basketball encyclopedia. RIP, sir.
