Quote of the Day
“Getting a little taste of one snap in the NFL. it’s almost like the biggest tease of all teases, right? You’re just there to kneel the ball down, not even there to actually run a play or hand it off. I definitely have just learned to take every moment for what it is and enjoy where you’re at in this present moment and understand the capabilities and things that you could endure throughout the life and just be able to approach every day like it’s your last.”
Toronto Argonauts’ QB Chad Kelly, who has played in one NFL game

Thursday’s quiz
What number did Cal Ripken Jr wear when he played for the Orioles?
Wednesday’s quiz

In the movie Invincible, the true story about a 30-year old bartender who makes the Eagles as a special teams player, Greg Kinnear plays Philadelphia coach Dick Vermeil.

Tuesday’s quiz
Evan Longoria has hit the most home runs ever by a Tampa Bay Ray.

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

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

— Back in January, I dumped DirecTV for YouTube TV, so I had forgotten about this, but the FOX channel in Albany is still blacked out on DirecTV, and now I’m told the ABC channel in Albany is also off DirecTV. Channel 10 is one of the main college football channels, so people who like sports are likely to be dumping DirecTV as autumn approaches.

— Miami Marlins are 51-38 as we approach the All-Star break; they’re the #1 Wild Card team in the NL right now. Marlins have played 20 games this season that were tied after five innings; they’re 14-6 in those 20 games.

— Manager of the Year race in the National League will be interesting:
Arizona is 50-38, hanging on to first place in the NL West; the last three years, they were 151-233, so Tory Lovullo is a candidate.

Cincinnati is 49-39, in first place in NL Central; they were 62-100 last year, have made the playoffs once since 2014. David Bell is a candidate.

Miami is 51-38; they’ve been in the playoffs once in the last 20 years— that was the shortened season in 2020. They haven’t won a playoff game since they won the 2003 World Series. That makes Skip Schumaker a candidate.

— Major league attendance is up 8.4% so far this season, a good sign for the sport. They’ve done a great job selling the rule changes.

— On June 23, 1971, a pitcher named Rick Wise threw a no-hitter; he also hit two home runs in that game. Pretty good night.

Rick Wise pitched 18 years in the big leagues, had a 188-181 record. He made two All-Star teams, and went 17-14 during that 1971 season.

After that season, he was traded even up for Steve Carlton, that’s how good he was. He wound up in Boston in 1975 and helped the Red Sox get to the World Series.

Rick Wise had an underrated career; if he played for a New York team on June 23, 1971, he’d be a freakin’ legend now.

Brewers 6, Cubs 5 (10)— Victor Ceratini hit a walk-off homer; Milwaukee led 4-1 after five innings, but blew the lead.

— Tampa Bay/Texas are both in first place, but they’re limping into the All-Star break.

Rangers are 4-9 in their last 13 games; Tampa Bay has lost five games in a row. All-Star break is coming at just the right time for both teams.

Mets 9, Arizona 0— Francisco Lindor went 5-for-5, with two triples and a homer. Mets and their $375M payroll have won five in a row, as they head to San Diego for the weekend.

— Back in 2019, Patrick Mahomes threw 26 TD passes; those 26 passes were in the air an average of 17.3 yards.

Last year, Mahomes threw 41 TD passes; only one of those 41 passes was in the air more than 19 yards.

— NBA Summer League starts today in Las Vegas; Toronto Raptors have turned a conference room at the Wynn Hotel into a practice facility. If you like the NBA, good idea to take a trip to Las Vegas some year and watch the summer league in person.

— West Virginia transfer Okonkwo has bolted from Morgantown to North Carolina. He played in 31 games last year for the Mountaineers, playing 11 minutes/game, and has two years of eligibility left.

Tar Heels have now added five transfers this offseason.

— 6’3 Serbian guard Djordje Curcic has committed to the Saint Louis Billikens, Travis Ford’s third international recruit in the last month.

— Movie of the Day: Good Will Hunting (1997)— A custodian at M.I.T., has a gift for math, but needs help from a psychologist to find direction in his life.

Matt Damon is the custodian; Ben Affleck is his best friend. Robin Williams is the psychologist; he is great in this movie.

— College football bowl trend of the day: favorites covered seven of last eight Cotton Bowls.

— Random golf trivia: Andrew Magee is the only golfer ever to get a hole-in-one on a par-4 hole during a PGA tournament. He aced the 17th hole at the 2001 Phoenix Open.

— Happy 77th birthday to Fred Dryer, who played 13 years in the NFL, then became an actor— he was the star of the NBC series Hunter, from 1984-91.

Dryer played for the 1979 NFC champ Rams; he is the only NFL player ever to record two safeties in the same game.

Happy birthday Fred!!!
