Wednesday’s 6-pack
NFL teams with easiest 2022 schedules, based on 2021 records:
.462— Dallas, Washington
.464— Philadelphia
.465— Giants
.467— Detroit
.469— Jacksonville, Indianapolis
.471— Tennessee

Quote of the Day
“You can never have enough offensive linemen.”
Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Pederson

Wednesday’s quiz
Which major league team has gone the longest without making the playoffs?

Tuesday’s quiz
Actor/pro wrestler Dwayne Johnson also played college football; he played at Miami, where he backed up Warren Sapp.

Monday’s quiz
When the Houston Astros were an expansion team back in the early 60’s, they weren’t called the Astros; they were the Houston Colt 45’s.

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

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..

13) Went to the Arizona State-UNLV baseball game Tuesday night; game was at the new ballpark in Summerlin, where the AAA Las Vegas Aviators play ball. Beautiful facility, was a weird game. UNLV won 11-10, scoring the winning run on a 9th inning wild pitch.

12) The place is too nice for a minor league ballpark; we sat on the club level, had a great view of the game. Former big leaguer Willie Bloomquist is the new coach at Arizona State; this is his first year in Tempe. ASU is 11-15 and struggling a little; pitching is a problem.

Was a fun night with friends; I’ll have to see an Aviators’ game out here sometime, seeing how they’re the A’s AAA team.

11) Saint Peter’s Cinderella run to the Elite 8 made the MAAC an extra $6.1M this spring, to be divided evenly among the 11 league schools- that translates to $554,455 per school, which is a bonanza for teams at that level.

10) Villanova is #323 in country in bench minutes; figures that the Achilles injury to Justin Moore is really damaging to their chances of winning this weekend. Moore is Villanova’s #2 scorer; tough to replace his production.

9) Saw an NFL mock draft that had no quarterbacks taken in first ten picks; last time that happened was 2013, when EJ Manuel was the first QB taken (16th pick). Before that was 2000, when Chad Pennington was the first QB taken (18th pick)

8) One of the great reality shows would be if NFL Films brought us behind the curtain on how the league’s schedule is made every year.

This season, NFC teams play nine home games each, AFC teams eight; Tampa Bay is playing a “home” game in Germany, but they can pick one opponent that cannot be the team they play in Germany. Apparently, they chose Green Bay, so that’ll likely be a primetime game.

7) Golf betting nugget: This weekend is the Valero Texas Open on the PGA Tour; seven of the last nine years, the golfer who won the week before The Masters wasn’t in the Masters field.

6) Buffalo Bills are getting a new stadium, which is supposed to be ready by 2026.

5) NFL changed its overtime rules Tuesday; each team has to get the ball once now. In 7 or last 12 playoff OT games, the team that won the coin toss scored a walk-off TD on their first drive.

4) I’m sitting in Bellagio’s sportsbook Sunday, watching the Kansas-Miami game; they have really nice chairs in that room, but the guy in front of me fell asleep, so much so that his head was resting on the shoulder of the guy to his right. I mean, he was out of it, and no one said anything. Usually a casino worker will wake up a guy sleeping like that, but not this guy.

3) Was very windy on the Strip Monday; took a walk to the Cosmopolitan, and my damn hat flew off. Sportsbook in the Cosmopolitan is pretty nice; a big bar in between the horse racing book and sports betting area, with a pool table on the side and a Starbucks at one end.

2) Detroit Lions are the featured team on HBO’s Hard Knocks this summer, so we’ll get to see if coach Dan Campbell is as offbeat as he seems on game days. When Detroit lost to the Rams last year, they succeeded on two fake punts and an onside kick, two of which happened in the first 5:00 of the game. I’m guessing that had never happened before.

Jared Goff was in Hard Knocks when he was a rookie with the Rams, and again couple years ago, when we saw he had a putting green in his backyard. Doubtful he has one of those in Detroit.

1) This is the 7th time in last 12 years only one #1-seed made the Final Four; of those seven years, the #1-seed went 5-2 in national semi-final, won four national titles.

Thursday’s 6-pack
NFL teams with hardest 2022 schedules, based on 2021 records:
.567— Rams
.543— Arizona
.536— Cincinnati
.535— Tampa Bay
.533— Chiefs, 49ers
.528— Raiders, Saints

Quote of the Day
“I’m trying to answer that when I had a reaction to it. And it’s like, ‘Damn, I wish they hadn’t guaranteed the whole contract. I don’t know that he should’ve been the first guy to get a fully guaranteed contract. To me, that’s something that is groundbreaking, and it’ll make negotiations harder with others.”
Ravens’ owner Steve Bisciotti

Thursday’s quiz
Who was manager of the New York Mets the last time they made the playoffs?

Wednesday’s quiz
Seattle Mariners have gone the longest without making the playoffs- they last made it in 2001.

Tuesday’s quiz
Actor/pro wrestler Dwayne Johnson also played college football; he played at Miami, where he backed up Warren Sapp.

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

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

13) Had an interesting experience Wednesday night, while watching the Golden State-Phoenix game in the Aria sportsbook. Sat next to two Asian guys and for two hours, I listened to them have a conversation in a foreign language, no idea which one.

I could tell they were rooting for the Suns, but they were mostly quiet, which is more than could be said for couple of other guys who appeared during the second half— they were right out of a Dumb and Dumber movie, screaming on every possession as if their life depended on it.

This was the first time in all my visits here that I saw guys acting like morons while sweating out a bet (maybe they weren’t acting). End of the game, the loud guys won, I think the quiet guys lost by a half-point.

12) Bruce Arians stepped down as coach of Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was replaced immediately by Todd Bowles, who used to coach the Jets. Arians will move on to the Tampa Bay front office.

It is unclear if Tom Brady’s un-retirement had a hand in all this; there had been rumors that Arians and Brady didn’t always get along so well.

11) The inevitable happened in New Jersey; Shaheen Holloway leaves Saint Peter’s to become the new coach at Seton Hall, his alma mater.

10) Fresno State-Coastal Carolina game, championship tilt of the Basketball Classic, was postponed until Friday afternoon; Fresno’s team had travel problems getting to the east coast Wednesday.

9) USFL kicks off in a couple weeks; they’re going to experiment with some rule changes:

— Three options for PAT’s:
a) traditional kick for one point
b) 2-point play from 2-yard line
c) 3-point play from 10-yard line
— Kickoffs will be from 25-yard line, not 35.
— Onside kicks:
a) traditional onside kick
b) run 4th-and-12 play from your 33-yard line
— In last 2:00 of half, clock stops after a first down.

The whole league is taking place in Birmingham; we’ll see how it goes.

8) New Jersey Generals’ coach is Mike Riley, who will be coaching in his fifth pro league; he also coached Oregon State in college. This guy could write quite a book:
1987-90— Winnipeg Blue Bombers, CFL
1991-92— San Antonio Riders, WLAF
1997-98— Oregon State
1999-2001— San Diego Chargers
2013-14— Oregon State
2015-17— Nebraska
2019— San Antonio Commanders, AAF
2022— New Jersey Generals, USFL

7) New Orleans Saints re-signed QB Jameis Winston for two years, added veteran Andy Dalton as a backup; they’ll move Taysom Hill to tight end.

6) Sounds like the Los Angeles Angels will be using a six-man pitching rotation this year.

5) Chicago Cubs used 69 different players last year, 15 of which made their MLB debut; they will be interesting to follow this summer, a big market team that openly went in the tank last season. Will they try harder to win this year?

4) Injured list for pitchers goes back to 15 days this season, to avoid roster manipulation; for position players, injured list stays at 10 days.

3) Dodgers dealt 1B/OF Matt Beaty to division rival San Diego for a minor leaguer; little unusual that division rivals make a deal like that.

2) Iowa Hawkeyes star Keegan Murray is leaving college ball for the NBA Draft; Murray scored 23.5 ppg this year, leading Iowa to a 26-10 record.

1) So far in this NCAA Tournament, teams have shot a combined 31.5% on the arc, which isn’t good. Couple that with refs allowing a lot more contact around the basket, and you get a lot of low scoring games, which also isn’t good.

Friday’s 6-pack
Over/under totals for NFL teams:
11.5— Buffalo, Tampa Bay
10.5— Rams, Dallas, Denver, Packers, Chiefs, Chargers
9.5— Arizona, Ravens, Bengals, Colts, 49ers, Titans
8.5— Raiders, Miami, Vikings, Patriots, Saints, Eagles
7.5— Giants, Steelers, Washington
6.5— Chicago, Detroit, Jaguars

Quote of the Day
“Find the thing you do well, and do it again and again for the rest of your life.”
Johann Johannssen

Friday’s quiz
What now-retired player caught the longest TD pass in NFL postseason history?

Thursday’s quiz
Terry Collins was manager of the Mets the last time they made the playoffs, in 2016.

Wednesday’s quiz
Seattle Mariners have gone the longest without making the playoffs- they last made it in 2001.

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

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

13) Las Vegas oddsmakers don’t have lot of faith in Mitchell Trubisky; Steelers’ over/under win total for next fall is 7.5 wins. Pittsburgh hasn’t had a losing season since 2003, when Tommy Maddox was their QB.

Not sure how smart it is to wager on NFL over/under win totals before the schedule comes out and before the draft. It isn’t just who you play, it is when you play them.

12) I’m sitting in the Aria sportsbook watching baseball; there was only one other person there, and he groaned when a tennis player withdrew from his match. I figured this guy had wagered on the guy who withdrew, but he explained to me that he had the guy who won, but he wasn’t sure his bet was a winner, since the match ended in the first set.

I left few minutes later; never did find out if he won or not.

11) Xavier 73, Texas A&M 72:
— Xavier, which entered the NIT on a 4-10 skid, wins the NIT.
— Nunge scored on a 5-foot jump hook with 0:03.1 left for the win.
— Aggies led this game 40-32 at halftime.
— A&M outscored Xavier 21-8 on foul line.

Over last seven years, team that won the NIT made the NCAA’s the following season only two times; Memphis this year, TCU in 2018.

10) When all these college basketball players transfer, I’m wondering if schools present them with their potential to earn $$$ via NIL opportunities, making it like NBA free agency on a much smaller scale.

9) Looking way ahead to college football, five defensive starters for West Virginia have transferred this spring, which isn’t a good thing for the Mountaineers.

8) Glad to see the Bob Huggins will be inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame this year; this is an honor that is long overdue. George Karl. Tim Hardaway Sr are also getting inducted.

7) Super Bowl champ Rams signed LB Bobby Wagner to a 5-year, $50M contract. Wagner spent the last decade playing against the Rams, with Seattle.

6) It was only an exhibition game, but had to feel good when Corey Seager homered against his old team Thursday. Texas beat the Dodgers 8-2.

5) Charlotte Hornets have won five straight road games for first time since 2002.

4) Jon Rahm is the only golfer to finish in top 10 of the last four Masters tournaments.

3) In the NHL, Buffalo Sabres have gone to OT or a shootout in six of last seven games, going 4-3 in those games.

2) Coaching carousel:
— Cleveland State coach Dennis Gates is now the coach at Missouri.
— Former Xavier coach Travis Steele is now the coach at Miami OH.

1) When baseball starts up next week, keep in mind that White Sox SS/leadoff hitter Tim Anderson is suspended for the first two games, because of an altercation with an umpire last September.
