Saturday’s 6-pack
More odds to win the Super Bowl:
30-1— Chargers, Patriots, Miami, Dallas, Saints
35-1— Colts
40-1— Arizona, Denver, Minnesota, Pittsburgh
50-1— Chicago, Washington
60-1— Atlanta
80-1— Raiders, Panthers, Eagles, Giants

Quote of the Day:
“Word is USGA is soon rolling back driver length to 46 inches.This is PATHETIC. 1st it promotes a shorter more violent swing (injury prone,) doesn’t allow for length of arc to create speed, and during our 1st golf boom in 40 years, our amateur gov body keeps trying to make it less fun”
Phil Mickelson

Saturday’s quiz
Who was coach of the Eagles after Andy Reid?

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

Thursday’s quiz
10 NFL stadiums are domes; 11 teams play their home games in domes (Rams/Chargers share their stadium)

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

Saturday’s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind…….

13) Royals 8, Mariners 7:
— Salvador Perez hit a grand slam, his 36th homer this year.
— He already has 90 RBI, 10 more than any other season in his career.
— Seattle falls to 26-15 in one-run games.

12) White Sox 17, Cubs 13:
— Cubs scored six in top of the first, didn’t come close to winning. They’re awful.

Baseball’s commish needs to have a chat with the Cubs’ owner; it is complete BS and a horrible look for the sport that one of their marquee franchises (their TV network is called the Marquee Network) is completely in the tank- they’re a AAA-quality team.

What chance do the Cubs have of being any better next year? The year after? They’re not the A’s, Pirates or Rays; they’re in a freakin’ big market, have a lot of cash to spend.

11) Rays 6, Orioles 3— Tampa Bay is 16-1 vs Baltimore this season.

10) Tigers 2, Blue Jays 1— Pinch-hitter Victor Reyes hit an inside-the-park homer for the game-winning run in the 8th inning for Detroit.

9) Because the minor leagues started late this year, they will also end later; rosters will expand next week, but only to 28 players, not the 40-man limit like it used to be.

8) Cincinnati Reds acquired utility guy Asdrubel Cabrera on waivers from Arizona, adding a lefty bat and putting Moustakas/Suarez’ jobs at jeopardy at the hot corner. Of course Moustakas then hit a homer for the Reds last night. Losing your job is usually good motivation.

7) Jim Furyk is the only pro golfer to break 60 twice in tournament play; he even shot a 58 at the 2016 Travelers Championship.

6) Pac-12 isn’t going to expand, which opens the door for the Big X to add two teams to its current 8-team league (Texas/Oklahoma are leaving).

Do they look east, to Cincinnati/UCF or maybe even Houston, or do they look west and poach UNLV and Brigham Young? UNLV plays in brand-new Alliance Stadium now; their program should perk up.

5) Louisville’s basketball team suspended coach Chris Mack for six games as the result of an ugly incident where Mack wanted to fire an assistant coach, who then tried to extort money from the head coach or else he would provide evidence of recruiting violations by the Cardinals.

The suspension will cost Mack roughly $221,000.

4) Southwest Airlines lost 1,000 flight attendants to early retirement during the pandemic, now they’re short-staffed, as they try and get back to a regular schedule. I’m supposed to go to Las Vegas this fall, but if they keep jerking around my schedule, I’m going to change plans— they’ve switched my flights 6 or 7 times already.

3) Saturday’s Cardinals-Saints preseason game was cancelled because of the looming hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.

2) Jets 31, Eagles 31— Jets scored on a 49-yard Hail Mary on the last play, then tied the game with a 2-point play- there is no overtime in preseason. Rookie QB James Morgan threw the pass.

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

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

Quote of the Day:
“We’re not machines. We’re going to struggle seven times out of 10. It just feels bad when … I strike out and get booed. It doesn’t really get to me but I want to let them know that when we’re successful, we’re going to do the same thing to let them know how it feels.”
Mets’ 2B Javier Baez

Monday’s quiz
Who was football coach at Illinois, last time they had a winning season?

Sunday’s quiz
Eagles QB Gardner Minshew played college football at East Carolina, Washington State

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

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

Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports weekend

13) Javier Baez is making $11,600,000 this season; he’s been on the Mets for a month, playing in 17 games but he went out of his way to create one of the biggest PR debacles in quite some time this weekend. He is a free agent after the season, which may now be a problem for him.

Baez said this to the media Sunday: “To let them know when we don’t get success, we’re going to get booed. So they’re going to get booed when we have success” basically giving the finger to fans who express displeasure when things don’t go too well. You make $11M a year to play ball, the paying customers will run their mouths when things don’t go well.

New York Post used the term “colossal mistake”
Back page of the NY Daily News: “Mets: Go to hell, fans!”

Alrighty then; enjoy the rest of the season.

12) Not sure what Urban Meyer is thinking about, but he played his starting QB in an exhibition game Sunday, when five of his top six offensive linemen didn’t play. Trevor Lawrence didn’t get hurt, but what’s the point? Is the experience in a preseason game that valuable?

If Lawrence gets hurt in a game like that, it is a complete disaster, seeing how they just traded his backup to Philadelphia. Keeping Lawrtence healthy should be job #1, for both winning games and selling tickets.

11) There were murmurs this weekend that Miami Dolphins are interested in acquiring Deshaun Watson from Houston; there were other rumors that the Texans are asking for three first round picks and two second round picks, pretty steep price for a guy with lot of legal issues pending.

10) Here is a hint on NFL preseason games: some teams try to win, some teams could care less about them- they mean nothing, as far as handicapping Week 1 regular season games.

9) Pirates 4, Cardinals 3— Yoshi Tsutsugo hit a walk-off three-run homer.

8) Marlins 2, Reds 1— Jesus Luzardo had his best start for Miami, with a lot of help from the home plate umpire Edwin Moscoso, who called strikes like he had a cab outside the stadium with the meter running.

Reds’ 3B Eugenio Suarez, Reds’ skipper David Bell both got tossed; Joey Votto damn near got tossed, too.

7) A’s 3, New York 1— Tony Kemp hit a 2-run homer in bottom of the 8th, as Oakland earned a split of the four-game series. Paul Blackburn has done a solid job for the A’s subbing for the injured Chris Bassitt, who broke his cheekbone when he got hit by a line drive few weeks ago.

6) Tampa Bay is 82-48, has a 6-game lead in AL East, but the gravy train is over— no more games with the Orioles- they went 18-1 vs Baltimore this season. They have seven games left with Boston, three each with Houston/Bronx, and a 13-game stretch vs Detroit/Toronto.

5) What are the Dodgers doing? They used 3B Justin Turner to pitch the 9th inning Sunday, in a game they trailed only 5-0. Turner gave up two hits but no runs; LA is using a 2-man starting rotation, going with bullpen games the rest of the time. The Trevor Bauer situation is screwing up their pitching plans.

4) Couple of long playoff droughts in the NFL:
— Bengals haven’t won a playoff game since 1990.
— Lions haven’t won a playoff game since 1991.

3) 3:00 Sunday I’m watching baseball- the screens go blank; no games on the baseball package, just blank screens. I call DirecTV’s help desk and get a guy who is struggling badly with English, which makes sense since it turns out he was in the Phillipines.

I explain the situation but I’m not sure he has any idea what I’m talking about; after 20 minutes of this jocularity, he decides to transfer me to a co-worker, who probably isn’t much better at English. Mercifully, the screens came back on and I thanked him, not sure for what.

2) RIP to the great actor Ed Asner, who passed away this weekend at age 91; he is best known as Lou Grant on The Mary Tyler Moore Show— he then took that character and transferred it into a dramatic series (Lou Grant) based on a newspaper in Los Angeles.

RIP, sir.

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
