Tuesday’s 6-pack
Six interesting NFL games this week:
— Carolina (-7.5) @ Houston— Rookie QB Mills gets first NFL start.
— Arizona (-7) @ Jacksonville— Couple former college coaches hook up.
— Washington @ Buffalo (-9)
— New Orleans @ New England (-3)
— Chargers @ Kansas City (-6.5)— Big game in AFC West.
— Chicago @ Cleveland (-7.5)— Justin Fields’ first NFL start?

Quote of the Day
“I believe I have voted for both Democrats and Republicans. Am I either one? Absolutely not. Ladies and gentlemen, I am an American.”
David Letterman

Tuesday’s quiz
When baseball split into divisions in 1969, which team was the first one to win the National League West?

Monday’s quiz
Brian Billick was the Baltimore Ravens’ coach before John Harbaugh.

Sunday’s quiz
In the TV show Magnum PI, Thomas Magnum grew up in Virginia.

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

Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but…….

13) Green Bay 35, Detroit 17:
— Packers outscored Detroit 21-0 in second half.
— Green Bay scored a TD on five of its first six drives.
— Only nine of Packers’ 61 plays came on third down.
— Green Bay is 12-3 ATS in last 15 home openers.

— Lions lost first two games, giving up 76 points.
— Detroit in 1st half: 31 plays, 178 yards, 17 points.
— Detroit in 2nd half: 26 plays, 140 yards, 0 points.
— Detroit wore white uniform pants for first time since 1949.

12) We need more nice in our world; this weekend in Cincinnati, Mookie Betts did a very nice thing for a young ballplayer.

Betts was playing right field for the Dodgers when Reds’ rookie TJ Friedl hit his first big league homer into the RF bleachers. Betts asked the fan for the baseball, and surprisingly, the guy tossed it to him. First home run baseballs can be pretty valuable in trade.

Betts throws the baseball towards the Cincinnati dugout, so Friedl can have it; next time Betts jogs out to his position, he brings an autographed bat out and gives it to the fan, so the guy got a valuable piece of memorabilia for giving up the baseball.

It was uplifting to see people being nice.

TJ Friedl-related trivia: his dad grew up with Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari; the two friends posed for a picture at the ballpark in Cincinnati the other day.

11) NFL home favorites are 3-11 ATS in non-division games so far this year; home underdogs are 6-4 ATS in non-divisional games, making dogs 17-7 ATS overall in non-divisional games.

10) In NFL games, I care a lot more about “plays run” than “time of possession”; some teams run a no-huddle offense, so time of possession doesn’t mean as much there.

9) 15 of 32 NFL teams used a different QB in Week 1 this year, than they did in Week 1 last year.

8) Over their last 34 games, Tennessee Titans have had 14 kickers on their roster.

7) So far this season, only three college football teams have thrown the ball less than Michigan; Army, Navy, Air Force.

6) Last Thursday, Washington QB Taylor Heinicke earned a $125,000 contract incentive; he played 60% of his team’s snaps in a win.

5) The last two years, young OF Lane Thomas hit 9-84 for the Cardinals; 4-36 last year, 5-48 this year. Not good; then at the trade deadline this summer, St Louis traded him to Washington for veteran P Jon Lester.

Since joining the Nationals, Thomas has hit .298 in 32 games, with a .906 OPS. Very good.

4) CSI is one of my five favorite TV shows of all-time; they’re re-branding CSI as CSI: Vegas, and bringing it back in a couple weeks. It is still William Peterson/Jorja Fox, so it should basically be the same show, which is good news for people who like good television. Looks as if the supporting cast will mostly all be new, which is a little disappointing.

3) NBA training camps start next week; saw a thing where the LA Lakers have six assistant coaches helping out head coach Frank Vogel. Things have changed a lot in the NBA; with so many younger players in the league now, skill development happens way more in the NBA than it used to.

Back when I was a kid, read a book called The Open Man, a diary of the Knicks’ 1969-70 season when they won the NBA title. Think I did a book report on The Open Man in this space during the pandemic; that season, the Knicks didn’t have an assistant coach. None.

Coach Red Holzman ran the team; trainer Danny Whelan helped him out with game management stuff like timeouts, and Dick McGuire did scouting, but Holzman was the only coach on the bench during games. Now teams have two rows of coaches on their bench.

2) Last Saturday, Duke, East Carolina, North Carolina, NC State and Wake Forest all won their football games; last time they all won on the same day?

October………of 1994.

1) Check your baseball highlight show when you can today; Miami’s Jesus Sanchez caught a fly ball bare-handed last night, preventing Washington from getting a double (he over-ran the ball, which was right near the right field line).

The catch was a lot like the one Kevin Mitchell made about 30 years ago, except Mitchell’s was in left field.

Wednesday’s 6-pack
Early line moves on this week’s college games:
— Texas Tech @ Texas— Texas opened -13.5; they’re -8 as I type this.
— Missouri @ Boston College— Mizzou opened +1; they’re -2.5 now.
— Georgia State @ Auburn— War Eagle opened -23; now they’re -27.
— Boise State @ Utah State— Broncos opened -12; they’re -9 now.
— San Jose State @ Western Michigan— Game opened pick ‘em; WMU is now -3.
— Kansas @ Duke— Duke opened -13; they’re up to -16.5.

Quote of the Day
“The biggest generator of long-term results is learning to do things when you don’t feel like doing them.”
Shane Parrish

Wednesday’s quiz
Who managed the Red Sox when they won the World Series in 2004 and 2007?

Tuesday’s quiz
When baseball split into divisions in 1969, Atlanta Braves won the National League West that year; they lost to the Mets in the NLCS.

Monday’s quiz
Brian Billick was the Baltimore Ravens’ coach before John Harbaugh.

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

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..

13) If I was the football coach for the Cal Bears, would’ve made a ton of recruiting calls Monday night, especially to recruits on the offensive side of the ball.

Monday Night Football: Lions-Packers, Jared Goff, Aaron Rodgers, both Cal grads.

12) FP Santangelo is the analyst on Washington Nationals baseball games; he played seven years in the major leagues, mostly with the Montreal Expos.

Last night. Miami Marlins’ rookie catcher was struggling to catch pitches; he had three passed balls. Santangelo started telling a story about his playing days, when one of his teammates had six passed balls in one game.

Guy’s name was Jerry Goff, Jared Goff’s dad- he also hit a home run in that game.

11) Rookie QB Davis Mills will make his first NFL start on Thursday night, when his Houston Texans host 2-0 Carolina.

Curious how the TV crew will handle this situation; Deshaun Watson is on the Texans’ roster, but he won’t be active, because of his pending legal issues. Mills/Jeff Driskel will be the two active QB’s, with Tyrod Taylor out for 3-4 weeks. Not an ideal situation.

10) San Diego Padres fired their pitching coach a few weeks ago; this week they fired their farm director, who had been in his job for seven years. Another scapegoat for a team that has gone in the ashcan the second half of the season. Padres are 18-32 in their last 50 games, will probably miss the playoffs.

When does ownership hold GM AJ Preller responsible for the team’s failures? Padres have made the playoffs once in Preller’s seven years, last year’s shortened season. He’s been suspended for 30 days (in 2016) for hiding medical records from other teams in trade talks.

But hey, he went to an Ivy League school (Cornell), so he keeps his job. Oy.

9) Oldest rosters in the NFL:
4) Arizona (average 27.06 years old)
3) Houston 27.09
2) Chicago 27.13
1) Tampa Bay 27.20

8) Cardinals 2, Brewers 1— St Louis has won ten games in row, their best winning streak in 20 years. Looks like Cardinals will visit the NL West runner-up in a Wild Card game.

7) Anthony Gose is 31 years old; he was the Phillies’ 2nd round pick in 2008, played parts of five seasons for Detroit, hitting .240, with 19 triples, 57 stolen bases. Very good athlete.

Gose had pitching in his background; when the outfield thing didn’t work out, he went back to the minors and became a pitcher. This week, Gose got into a big league game on the mound, throwing 1.2 innings for the Indians against Kansas City, five years after his last appearance in the majors.

Pretty cool story that a guy worked that hard to re-boot his career; lefty relievers hang around for a long time if they’re effective. We’ll see how this goes.

6) JJ Redick retired this week after a 15-year NBA career, during which he made 41.5% of his 3-point shots; he played for six different teams, scoring 12,028 points.

5) After being benched in his third game this season, QB Charlie Brewer has bolted the Utah Utes’ program; he is still eligible to play somewhere else next season. A four-year starter at Baylor, Brewer announced he would transfer to Utah back in December, but now a transfer from Texas is the #1 QB at Utah.

Brewer ain’t starting, so he’ll be departing.

4) Minnesota Vikings drafted 11 players last spring; in Sunday’s 34-33 loss at Arizona, none of those 11 guys played on offense or defense (few of them played on special teams), which isn’t a good look for the team’s front office.

3) Been a rough few weeks for everyone in Louisiana, because of the hurricane; the basketball team at U of New Orleans was displaced, but an old friend came thru for UNO athletic director Tim Duncan (not THAT Tim Duncan).

Duncan played ball at Memphis with Penny Hardaway, who is now the Tigers’ coach; UNO’s hoop team moved up to Memphis for most of the last three weeks— they were expected to ho back home sometime this week, where they hopefully can resume a normal existence.

2) Florida State’s football team is 0-3 for the first time since 1976.

1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL: Braves, Brewers, Giants. Wild Card: St Louis @ Los Angeles
AL: Rays, White Sox, Astros. Wild Card: Toronto @ Boston
