Quote of the Day
“He’s earned the trust of the locker room. Guys respect him. Guys wanna play for him. Guys wanna help him as much as they wanna help themselves. Nothing’s perfect in football, everybody knows that. I think he’s got a lot of support. Everybody would run through a wall for him.”
Green Bay RB AJ Dillon, talking about QB Jordan Love
Saturday’s quiz

******************************************************
Saturday’s Den: Wrapping up a busy Friday night
— Washington-St Louis game was suspended by cruddy weather in the 3rd inning Friday; they’ll resume that game Saturday afternoon, will play the regularly scheduled game Saturday night.
— I’ve mentioned a few times how the NBA Summer League is a fun event to go to in Las Vegas; lot of good basketball in air conditioning. Plus, when the games are over, you’re in Las Vegas, which is always fun.
One of the least important parts of summer league is who wins; it is one of the few times when basketball isn’t a team sport. Just about every guy on the court is fighting like hell to make an NBA roster, or a G-League roster or a roster somewhere overseas (guys who play overseas are still signing six-figure contracts).
How do you impress teams enough to give you a contact?
Shooting is always marketable; good shooting, obviously.
Do one thing EXCEPTIONALLY well. Rebound, defend, shoot, pass, do something that makes you stand out and helps the team win. But YOU need to somehow stand out.
Duncan Robinson plays for the Miami Heat, has made around $36M in his first five years in the NBA. His first year in college, he played Division III, non-scholarship basketball at Williams, a fancy academic school. Very few D-III players, VERY few ever make it into an NBA game, unless they buy a ticket to get it. And the higher level of D-III basketball is very good ball.
But Duncan Robinson is an elite shooter; he played three years at Michigan for John Beilein, and has played five years for the Heat, making 39.9% of his 3’s.
Thats what guys in the summer league are trying to do, impress one team enough to have them invite him to training camp. Getting your foot in the door is the most important thing, and the summer league is a great way to do it.
In other words, Player A may be playing for the Knicks’ summer league team, but he’s actually trying out for all 30 teams— everyone has scouts at these games. The cruddy teams need more help than the good teams.
— Kid named Chris Ledlum played basketball for Harvard last year, he averaged 18.8 ppg, 8.5 rebounds a game LY, was a unanimous first-team All-Ivy League selection.
He transferred to Tennessee in May, now he is in the transfer portal again, because that is what modern college basketball has become.
— They drew 29,102 fans to Opening Day Thursday at Saratoga Racecourse here in beautiful upstate New York. Fun place to go in the summer. They had 23,583 people there Friday; a day at the track is relaxing. Lot of rich people hanging around and lot of other people trying to look rich.
— CW Network is going to show ACC football/basketball games this fall/winter, which is good news. Always good to have lot of games on to watch.
— Movie of the Day: Tender Mercies (1983)— A fading, middle-aged country singer gets a new wife, reaches out to his long-lost daughter, and tries to put his troubled life back together.
Robert Duvall is the star, playing the singer; Wilford Brimley is also in this movie, with a very young Ellen Barkin. Very good cast; the movie is little slow at times, but it is a good story.
— College football Trend of the Day— Favorites won/covered the last four Las Vegas Bowls.
— Atlanta Braves have outscored opponents 94-30 in the first inning this year.
— Dodgers 6, Mets 0— New York got one hit in six innings off of Julio Urias.
— Brewers 1, Reds 0— These two teams are tied for first place in the NL Central.
— Rangers 12, Guardians 4— Cleveland led 4-3 in 7th inning, then their bullpen imploded. Nathaniel Lowe was 4-4, with a home run and four runs scored.
— Astros 7, Angels 5— Angels have lost 10 of their last 11 games. Ohtani stopped pitching in this game in 6th inning, probably due to blister/fingernail issues.

Quote of the Day
“I’m exhausted for him, and I don’t know how he’s doing it. He’s a young kid and he’s managing a lot. It’s balancing a lot. It’s balancing his emotions, and that’s hard. It’s hard for anybody. So, you know, I tried to just get with him and let him know that I’m proud of him for that and that we’re behind him.”
D-backs manager Torey Lovullo, talking about All-Star OF Corbin Carroll

Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday……..
— Please excuse the language in the story here, but this was a funny moment……..
Went to Saratoga racetrack with friends Saturday; was fun hanging around watching the races on a great summer day.
10th race was won by a horse that was 46-1; we’re sitting there when they post the prices on the tote board, and this middle-aged guy struts by us with a grin on his face and yells out……..
“fuckin’ delicious!!!!”
You win with a 46-1 shot, you deserve to celebrate.
— Steph Curry is playing golf this weekend at a celebrity tournament in Nevada; Saturday, he got a hole-in-one on the par-3, 152-yard 7th hole.
His reaction is pretty cool; you’ve probably already seen it— he just sprints up the fairway with total joy. His playing partner Joe Pavelski and the caddies pretty much did the same thing. It was a fun thing to see.
— Major league umpire Tony Randazzo is an older cousin of Angels’ TV voice Wayne Randazzo.
— Dodgers 5, Mets 1
Mets scored only one run in their first two games after the All-Star break.
Dodgers pulled Tony Gonsolin after 5 IP, only 54 PT— they said he isn’t hurt.
— Jake Marisnick played some outfield off the bench for the Dodgers Saturday night, the 9th team he’s played for in his 11-year major league career, the third team this season. He’s played on six different teams the last three years.
631 of his 674 big league games were with Houston; he’s made roughly $13M in his career, not bad for a guy with a .228 lifetime batting average. He is a very good defensive outfielder.
— Phillies 6-9, Padres 4-4— Rough day for San Diego- Fernando Tatis left with an injury, but Manny Machado did hit his 300th career home run.
— Angels 13, Astros 12 (10)
Houston led 9-3 in 7th inning.
Houston led 12-9 in 9th inning.
Angels scored winning run on a throwing error by Houston’s backup SS.
For a team in a pennant race, this was a hideous loss.
— Brewers 3, Reds 0— Cincinnati is 1-4 against the Brewers over the last nine days; they got shut out the last two days. Milwaukee takes over first place in the NL Central.
— Giants 3, Pirates 1— San Francisco is 13-4 when Alex Cobb starts on the mound.
— Pirates are calling up pitching prospect Quinn Priester to make his MLB debut Monday against Cleveland.
— Movie of the Day: The Way Back (2020)— Ben Affleck plays a high school basketball phenom who walked away from the game, forfeiting his future. Years later, when he reluctantly accepts a coaching job at his alma mater, he gets one last shot at redemption.
The basketball scenes in this movie are really well done; the story is kind of depressing. Affleck’s character has a severe drinking problem, and his marriage fell apart after their young child died.
All in all though, a good movie.
— College football Trend of the Day— since 2014, South Alabama is 16-23 ATS as a road underdog.
— Cleveland Guardians put star P Shane Bieber on the IL with elbow inflammation.
— This is the 19th year of our fantasy baseball league; way back when we started the league, in 2005, my first pick in our draft was Matt Holliday, a really good outfielder for the Rockies.
Now it is 2023, and Holliday’s son Jackson is a big prospect for the Orioles— he just got called up to AA. I would really like to get him on my team, but someone in our league drafted him this year before I could, and since then, he’s been traded twice.
Looks like I won’t be able to get him on my team; too bad.
— Surfing through my TV late at night, an old TV show popped up on Hulu, one of the most bizarre TV shows ever— Nip/Tuck, about two plastic surgeons with opposite personalities who work together. This show definitely kept the censors busy— it was on FX.
— Friday night, Guardians’ Josh Naylor/Bo Naylor become the first brothers to hit a home run in same inning for the same team since 2013, when BJ/Justin Upton both homered for Atlanta.
Naylors have another brother, Myles, who is a 3B the A’s took with the 39th pick in the draft last week— he got $2,202,500 to sign out of high school.
