Sunday’s 6-pack
Six pitchers who are still free agents:
— Chris Archer
— Jake Arrieta
— Mike Fiers
— Tommy Milone
— Ervin Santana
— José Ureña
Quote of the Day
“We have more people cashing tickets on Saint Peter’s moneyline than I think are enrolled in the school.”

Sunday’s quiz
Which two teams played in the NFL’s first-ever regular season overtime game?
Saturday’s quiz
North Carolina was last in a Final Four in 2017.
Friday’s quiz
When Ben Simmons played his one season at LSU, one of his teammates was the son of a 3-time Grammy award-winning musician— Bruce Hornsby.
****************************
Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday
13) Villanova 50, Houston 44:
— Houston shot 1-20 on the arc.
— Foul line: Villanova 15-15, Cougars 9-14
— When you score 0.86 points/possession and still win, that’s an ugly game.
— Villanova G Moore suffered a lower leg injury late in this game; it didn’t look good.
12) Duke 78, Arkansas 69:
— Duke shot 58.1% inside the arc.
— Only six Blue Devils played more than 5:00.
— Arkansas gave up 62.3 ppg in first three tourney games, 78 in this one.
11) ACC didn’t have a great regular season, but their teams are 12-2 in the NCAA’s, with three of the last six teams still standing.
10) This season, only three of the twelve top 3 seeds made the Elite 8; contrast that to 2007, when seven of the eight top 2 seeds got to the Elite 8.
The top tier of teams isn’t as good this season.
9) Charlie Moore is the point guard for Miami Hurricanes; here is his career path:
2017— Cal Bears
2019— Kansas
2020-21— DePaul
2022— Miami
Five years, four schools. Interesting career.
8) Memphis Tigers were notified of multiple violations by the NCAA, including getting rid of evidence the NCAA wanted to look over during their investigation. Not good.
7) Grizzlies 127, Bucks 102— Weird stat: Memphis is 17-2 when Ja Morant doesn’t play.
6) Raptors 131, Pacers 91— Game was delayed for over an hour in second quarter, when a speaker in the arena caught fire. When the game resumed, the fans who were escorted out of the arena weren’t allowed back in. Luckily, no one was hurt.
5) Free agent WR Jarvis Landry isn’t getting the contract offers he thought he would; he’s fired his agent and hired a new one. We’ll see how much that helps.
4) New Jersey Jets signed K Greg Zuerlein, who has kicked for Rams/Cowboys. He made a 56-yard FG in OT to put the Rams into the Super Bowl three years ago.
3) Had the Red Sox-Tampa Bay game on TV in my motel room Saturday, and Boston TV guy Dave O’Brien was whining about pace of play in the first two innings. No bueno.
You get paid six figures to broadcast baseball; if you don’t like it, quit. 1,000 or so people will quickly apply to take your place. Promote the game, that’s part of the job.
2) In 2006, George Mason made the Final Four as a #11-seed; their coach? Jim Larranaga
Sunday, Larranaga’s Miami Hurricanes try to make the Final Four as a #10-seed.
1) Apparently Shaheen Holloway is making $266,000 to coach Saint Peter’s this year; once he signs with Seton Hall, after this great run he’s led the Peacocks on, he’ll be adding a zero at the end of that salary.

Monday’s quiz
When the Houston Astros were an expansion team back in the early 60’s, they weren’t called the Astros. What was their nickname back then?
Sunday’s quiz
Steelers-Broncos played in the NFL’s first-ever regular season overtime game, a 35-35 tie in 1974.
Saturday’s quiz
North Carolina was last in a Final Four in 2017.
****************************
Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Sunday
13) Kansas 76, Miami 50:
— Most one-sided Elite 8 game since 1992, when Cincinnati beat Memphis 88-57.
— Miami actually led 35-29 at halftime.
— Kansas is only #1-seed to make the Final Four (or Elite 8)
12) North Carolina 69, Saint Peter’s 49:
— Clock struck midnight for Peacocks, but what a great run for them.
— Tar Heels led 9-0 early, were up 38-19 at halftime.
— North Carolina-Duke renew their rivalry in national semifinal.
11) There are already 800+ names in the college basketball transfer portal; there are 358 Division I teams, so that is 2.2 players per team that are bolting to greener pastures, and there will probably be a lot more to come.
10) Gonzaga/Oklahoma share an unenviable record; they’ve both been a #1-seed five times, but haven’t won a national title yet. DePaul/Illinois have been #1-seeds four times each, without winning it all.
9) Took a walk on the Strip today, which is unlike me; stopped in sportsbooks at Bellagio and Caeser’s Palace. It was freakin’ hot out, but walking on the Strip is always uniquely fun.
Lady in Bellagio wanted my autograph; she thought I was Larry David. It is possible that she had been drinking. Politely explained to her that I was neither funny, rich or famous, although I am old and bald; took her five minutes to believe me.
At Caeser’s, they were charging people to sit in the sportsbook, so I wasn’t there long.
8) Coaching carousel:
— SMU hired Georgia State coach Rob Lanier.
— New Mexico State hired Greg Heiar, who won a national title in JC ball this year; he had previously been an assistant for Gregg Marshall/Will Wade.
7) Pelicans 116, Lakers 108— Lakers blew a 23-point lead in this game.
6) Arizona Diamondbacks gave 2B Ketel Marte a contract extension for five years, $76M.
5) St Louis Cardinals have an infield prospect Kramer Robertson; his mom is LSU hoop coach Kim Mulkey, his dad used to play QB at Louisiana Tech.
4) Almost 40% of the Atlanta Falcons’ salary cap this year is for Matt Ryan, who will be playing……..for the Colts this fall.
3) Random trivia: Three players with best career OPS against the Mets: Kyle Schwarber, Stan Musial, Paul DeJong.
2) CBS must be happy; Final Four of Villanova-Kansas, North Carolina-Duke. Should get excellent TV ratings.
1) Opening lines for Final Four:
— Kansas -4 vs Villanova (Justin Moore is out)
— Duke -4.5 vs North Carolina (teams split two previous meetings)
