— This is the Time
— Only the Good Die Young
— The Stranger

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

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

— YouTube TV had a split-screen of the Packers-Raiders game and Arizona-Dodgers baseball game Monday night, and for that, I thank them.

— Raiders 17, Packers 13:
Love completed only 16-30 passes, threw 3 INTs.
Green Bay’s only TD came on a 37-yard drive in third quarter.
Last three weeks, Packers were outscored 54-6 in first half.
Green Bay has outscored opponents 38-0 on 1st drive of a half.
Raiders drove 75 yards, scoring game-winning TD on 1st play of 4th quarter.
Garoppolo is 42-19 as an NFL starting QB.
Las Vegas is 13-9-1 ATS last 23 games with spread of 3 or less.
Raiders scored 17-10-18-17-17 points in first five games.

— This was the first NFL game since 1987 where the two kickers are brothers; Daniel and Anders Carlson.

— Braves 5, Phillies 4
Phillies led 4-0 in sixth inning.
Riley’s 2-run homer in 8th inning was game-winner.
series is tied, 1-1.

— Arizona 4, Dodgers 2
Zac Gallen threw 5.1 IP, gave up two runs.
Lourdes Gurriel was 2-4, with two RBI
Diamondbacks lead series, 2-0.

— Arizona-USC played football until 2:30am Saturday night in Los Angeles, with the Trojans finally winning 43-41 in overtime.
Here’s the thing: Arizona coach Jedd Fisch, who is doing a very good job rebuilding the program in Tucson, he didn’t know the overtime rules.
In the second round of overtime, teams have to go for two points after a touchdown— Arizona had to waste a timeout because they weren’t aware of that part of the OT rules. No bueno.

— There are 14 unbeaten teams left in college football.

— Tough couple of weeks for LSU’s defense; in their last two games, LSU has given up 94 points and 1,233 yards. Tigers lost 55-49 at Ole Miss, won 49-39 at Missouri- they host Auburn this week.

— Term of the Day: Zamboni— a vehicle that is used to clean and smooth the surface of a sheet of ice, usually in an ice rink. Frank Zamboni invented the first one in 1949, in Paramount, CA.
NHL season starts tonight, lot of Zambonis are getting warmed up.

— Pretty cool moment at Pepperdine’s open basketball practice Friday night, when the school’s President took a half-court shot. If he made it, a student got free tuition for a year, and sure enough, the President swished his shot— the players on the basketball team mobbed him, and a lucky student gets free tuition for this school year.

— Rick Pitino is the new coach at St John’s; hard to believe that the Red Storm hasn’t won an NCAA Tournament game since 2000. Pitino will have St John’s in the top 25 this season.

— Memphis Tigers have a 6-11 C named Jordan Brown who is in this fifth year of college basketball. He’s had an interesting journey:
2019— Nevada-Reno
2020— transferred, sat out
2021— Arizona
2022-23— Louisiana— scored 19.3 ppg LY for the Ragin’ Cajuns
This is his 4th school in six years, in four different conferences. Someday, he should write what would be a very interesting book.

— Speaking of AAC teams, Temple is in the AAC; their closest rival in that league is Charlotte, which according to Mapquest, is 540 miles away from Philadelphia.

— Apparently, Cam Newton turned down $5.5M to be a backup QB with the Jets; Newton is 34 now, hasn’t played an NFL game in two years.

— Denver Broncos traded DE Randy Gregory to the 49ers last week; Denver is paying Gregory $10M this year, the 49ers are paying him the veteran minimum. Gregory has three years left on his contract, but none of that $$$ is guaranteed, so if they’re not happy with him, they can just let him walk.

— Over the last 30 years, only three football teams from the Big 14 Conference have started a season 0-6 against the spread:
2009- Illinois
2015- Michigan State
2023- Illinois

— Saturday was a busy day in Baltimore; Orioles hosted a playoff game during the day, which was delayed by rain, then Billy Joel/Stevie Nicks had a concert that night in the nearby Ravens’ Stadium. Pretty good day of entertainment.
Singer Joan Jett performed the national anthem before the baseball game; she has always been a very big Orioles’ fan.

— If you have Sirius radio, channel 105 is the Billy Joel channel, for the rest of this month. All of his best songs, with lot of stories from his great career mixed in. Well worth listening to.

— New Jersey Giants have struggled in the first half of games this season:
Week 1- trailed 26-0 at half. Ran 36 plays for 89 yards- gave up a pick-6 and TD on a blocked field goal.
Week 2- trailed 20-0 at half. Ran 26 plays for 76 yards.
Week 3- trailed 17-6 at half. Ran 26 plays for 88 yards.
Week 4- trailed 14-3 at half. Ran 38 plays for 155 yards.
Week 5- trailed 17-10 at half. Ran 34 plays for 115 yards- only TD was scored by the defense.

— Please God, let this be true; Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob would be ‘very interested’ in buying the Oakland A’s, if the cheap bastard who owns the team now decides to sell. Lacob would at least try to win, that’s all I ask for.

Quote of the Day
“You know what, what’s wrong with being unhappy? I’m unhappy most of my life. Unhappy drives you. Unhappy pushes you. Unhappy makes people realize, ‘You know what? I’m not good enough. I’ve got to get better.'”
Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo

Tuesday’s quiz

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

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings…….

— Prayers go out to the great TV analyst Barry Melrose, who has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Melrose has been on ESPN since 1996; he retired from the network this week- he’ll be missed.

Melrose played in the NHL for eight years; he was a defenseman. He coached for four years, leading the LA Kings to the Stanley Cup final in 1993, but he found his true calling analyzing hockey on ESPN. He is a great spokesman for the game.

Melrose lives in Glens Falls, NY, an hour north of where I live; he used to co-own a minor league hockey team with ESPN’s Steve Levy. I was at one of their games, this was maybe 15 years ago, and Melrose was standing by himself off to the side, having a beer, so I went up and talked with him for a few minutes.

Terrific guy, friendly, just like you see him on TV. Put it this way; when ESPN does a video tribute to someone, and Wayne Gretzky narrates, you know that Barry Melrose is a big-timer.

— Astros 9, Twins 1
Jose Abreu homered twice, drove in five runs.
Cristian Javier allowed one hit in five shutout IP.
Houston leads series, 2-1.

— Rangers 7, Orioles 1
Rangers led 6-0 in the second inning.
Texas is 5-0 in the playoffs this month.
Nathan Eovaldi tossed seven innings.

— I’ll sound like the old guy yelling “Get off my lawn!!!” with this one, but in his career, Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Gibson started nine World Series games:

7-2 record, 1.89 ERA, 92 strikeouts in 81 IP. The guy pitched in nine World Series games, and went nine innings every time. Let’s see someone today do that.

By the way, the last complete game in any playoff game was in 2017.

— College football conference trends:
AAC underdogs are 8-3 ATS
ACC underdogs are 12-5 ATS
Big X home favorites are 7-3 ATS
Big 14 home underdogs are 2-6 ATS.

MAC home teams are 4-8 ATS
Mountain West home teams are 6-4 ATS
Pac-12 home teams are 12-4 ATS
SEC favorites are 14-6 ATS

— NFL divisional trends:
AFC East teams are 7-5 ATS outside the division.
Underdogs are 5-0 ATS in AFC North divisional games.
AFC South teams are 8-5 ATS outside the division.
AFC West teams are 5-9-1 ATS outside the division.

NFC East non-divisional favorites are 6-4-1 ATS
NFC North home teams are 2-5 ATS outside the division.
NFC South teams are 4-8-1 ATS outside the division.
NFC West teams are 8-1-1 ATS outside the division.

— Word of the Day: fickle— changing frequently, especially one’s loyalties, interests, or affection.

Lot of fans are fickle; they’re with you win or tie but they’re not crazy about ties.

— Most yards from scrimmage in first five games of an NFL season:
2,568— 2023 Dolphins
2,527— 2000 Rams
2,476— 2011 Patriots
2,449— 2013 Broncos

— Most games this season where a starting a pitcher lasted 7+ innings:
34— Astros, Phillies
33— Rangers
31— Mariners
30— Blue Jays

— College basketball teams with most consecutive appearances in NCAA Tournament:
(active streaks)
33— Kansas
25— Michigan State
24— Gonzaga

— Coastal Carolina 27, Appalachian State 24
Chanticleers led 14-0 after first quarter.
Coastal kicked a 24-yard FG at the gun for the win.
Chanticleers outgained App State 569-416
Coastal averaged 13.3 yards/pass attempt.

— Middle Tennessee State 31, Louisiana Tech 23
MTSU was 10-16 on third down, La Tech 3-13.
Vattiato was 23-29/248 passing, with two TD’s
Willis caught four passes for 103 yards and a TD.

— Liberty 31, Jacksonville State 13
Game was 10-10 at halftime.
Liberty ran ball 55 times for 245 yards.
Jax State averaged only 5.9 yards/pass attempt.

— NFL stuff
Vikings’ WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is on IR
Dolphins’ RB De’Von Achane (knee) is out several weeks
Rams traded WR Van Jefferson to Atlanta for a 6th round pick in 2025.

Tuesday’s quiz
Before they moved to Texas in 1972, the Texas Rangers were the Washington Senators.

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

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

— Astros 3, Twins 2
Brantley, Abreu homered for Houston.
Astros’ bullpen got ten outs, didn’t allow a run.
Astros move on, will play Texas in the ALCS.

— Phillies 10, Braves 2
Harper hit two homers, knocked in four runs.
Castellanos hit two solo homers.
Phillies lead series, 2-1.

— Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 0
Arizona hit four solo home runs in the third inning.
They’re first team EVER to hit four HR’s in one inning of a playoff game.
In series, LA starters allowed 13 runs in 8.2 IP.

— With the new rules this year, notably the pitch clock, the need for 3-man broadcast booths isn’t there anymore. There is a lot less time in between pitches; you don’t need two analysts jockeying for time to get their thoughts in.
Maybe one answer is to have two analysts and no play-by-play guy, maybe that would work, as long as one of the analysts had enough experience to read all the promos they show during a typical game.

— Texas-El Paso 27, Florida International 13
Miners ran out to a 21-0 lead in first quarter.
UTEP averaged 16.8 yards/pass attempt.
FIU ran 34 times for only 91 yards; they were 2-11 on third down.

— New Mexico State 27, Sam Houston State 13
Aggies led 27-0 at halftime.
New Mexico State threw TD passes of 78, 12 yards.
Sam Houston is in its first season of I-A football; they’re now 0-6.

— Bruins 3, Blackhawks 1— Chicago was only NHL team to get a back/back on the first two nights of the season- they split the two games.

— Word of the Day: grifter— a person who swindles people out of money.

— Last week, Indianapolis Colts gave RB Jonathan Taylor a 3-year, $42M contract, with $26,5M guaranteed; he is now the 3rd-highest paid RB in the NFL, after Christian McCaffrey/Alvin Kamara.

— In five games, Detroit Lions have had 27 plays of 20+ yards; 19 of those 27 plays came on 1st and 10— are they just being more aggressive than other teams on first down?

— In their last three games, New England Patriots have had 38 series; they’ve gotten inside their opponent’s 20-yard line on one of those 38 drives, and kicked a FG on that one. Last two games, New England went 3/out on 13 of 25 drives.

— In five games, Cincinnati Bengals have only six plays of 20+ yards; their opponents have 20.

— Last three games, Green Bay Packers were outscored 54-6 in the first half.

— Oklahoma WR Andrel Anthony hurt his knee, is out for the year; Anthony has 27 catches for 429 yards and a touchdown, after transferring to the Sooners, from Michigan.

— Former NFL QB Brock Osweiler is a college football game analyst on ESPN now; he’s pretty good. Osweiler works with Dave Flemming, one of the best play/play guys, so that helps, but he had the Arizona-USC game late Saturday night and he was interesting to listen to.
Lot of times, analysts get overly excited and rattle on endlessly during close games, but Osweiler was explaining stuff while giving his partner space to call the game.
