**************************************
Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Sunday…….
— Brian Hoyer is a backup QB for the Las Vegas Raiders; he’ll be 38 in October; from the look of his career history, he could write a hell of a book someday:
2009-11— New England, threw 43 passes in 13 games, no starts.
2012— Lost his only start for the Cardinals.
2013-14— went 10-6 in 16 starts for Cleveland.
2015— went 5-4 in nine starts for Houston
2016— went 1-4 in five starts for Chicago— he must be very good at packing.
2017— went 0-6 in six starts for the 49ers.
Also threw 6 passes in 5 games as a backup in New England.
2018— threw 2 passes in 5 games as a backup in New England, won a Super Bowl ring.
2019— lost his only start for Indianapolis.
2020-22— went 0-2 in 7 games (2 starts) for New England
2023— Now he is in Las Vegas as a backup for the Raiders.
Three different stints in Foxboro, with Belichick/Brady.
Hasn’t won a start in seven years, but is still in the league.
By my count, his career earnings are $61,907,222.
TV networks should be throwing cash at this guy, as soon as he retires as a player.
— Most touchdowns in the NFL the last two years:
38— Austin Ekeler, LAC
26— James Conner, Ariz
— Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson is 24-29 in his last 29 field goal tries of 50+ yards.
— Movie of the Day— The Fugitive (1993)— A doctor who was unjustly accused of murdering his wife, must find the real killer while being the target of a nationwide manhunt led by a respected U.S. Marshal.
Harrison Ford is the doctor, Sela Ward is the wife, Tommy Lee Jones is the marshal.
Excellent movie; the doctor manages to stay one step ahead of the authorities for two whole hours, until the police realize he actually didn’t kill his wife.
— NFL Trend of the Day— since 2017, Houston Texans are 9-19-2 ATS as a favorite; this year, they’re on their fourth head coach in four seasons.
— It is 3am Saturday night/Sunday morning, and I stumble across a live basketball game from Abu Dhabi on TV— Greece-Germany, with Bill Raftery the analyst. Of course, I put the remote down and watch the rest of the game.
High-level basketball; Germany pulled away at the end, won 84-71.
Then Sunday afternoon, Germans played the USA team— they led by 16, looked poised to to post big upset, but Team USA closed the game on a 22-5 run and won 99-91.
Sounds like the FIBA World Cup is going to screw up my sleep for the next few weeks.
— Random fact: Ritz Crackers are the official cracker of USA Basketball.
— Boston 6, New York 5— Bronx Bombers have lost eight in a row for the first time since 1995.
— Twins 2, Pirates 0— Minnesota picked Dallas Keuchel up off the scrap heap; he had a no-hitter going thru six innings in this game.
— White Sox 10, Rockies 5— Chicago scored seven runs in the 8th inning.
— Brewers 6, Rangers 2— Max Scherzer struggled, getting only 11 outs while throwing 99 pitches, giving up three runs.
— Blue Jays 10, Reds 3— Brandon Belt hit two homers for Toronto.
— RIP to Maxie Baughan, 85, who passed away this weekend.
Maxie Baughan was a linebacker; he is in the College Football Hall of Fame from his days at Georgia Tech. He played 14 years in the NFL, with Eagles, Rams, Washington.
When I became a Rams’ fan in the late 60’s at age 6, Baughan was a linebacker for the Rams when George Allen coached the team. He intercepted a pass to seal a win against the Packers in 1967, helping the Rams make the playoffs, making 7-year old me very happy.
He moved on to Washington with coach Allen and finished his career there— he had a great career. RIP, sir.
— If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
NL: Braves, Brewers, Dodgers. Wild Cards- Phillies, Giants, Cubs
AL: Orioles, Twins, Rangers. Wild Cards- Rays, Astros, Mariners

Orioles owner John Angelos, who needs to take a course in public relations
Tuesday’s quiz
Where did Lamar Jackson play his college football?
Monday’s quiz
Lou Piniella was the leadoff hitter for the Kansas City Royals in their first game ever, in 1969; he went on to have an excellent career, as both a player and manager.

— Weird story in the NBA; the Knicks are suing the Toronto Raptors and one of the Knicks’ former employees, who the Knicks alleged “illegally procured and then disclosed proprietary information” to their Atlantic Division rival.
According to the lawsuit, the former employee sent the Raptors thousands of confidential files — including play frequency reports, a prep book for the 2022-23 season, video scouting files, opposition research and more — after the team began recruiting him to join their organization in summer 2023. Corporate espionage– no bueno.
— Commanders 29, Ravens 28— Washington kicks a 49-yard FG with 0:09 left, ends Ravens’ 24-game winning streak in preseason games. Commanders outgained Baltimore 426-334, but Lamar Jackson didn’t play, while Washington’s starting QB Howell was 10-25/188 passing, with 2 TD’s.
— Odd football stat— Last year, Cincinnati Bengals’ defense faced the other team’s #1 QB on only 48.2% of their snaps, the lowest of any team in the last ten years.
— Dallas Cowboys’ first-ever game, way back in 1960, was a 16-10 loss in an exhibition game to the 49ers- the game was played in Seattle, 16 years before the Seahawks came into existence.
— Atlanta Braves are going to be good for a while; here are some of their key players and how long they’re signed on with the Braves until:
2027— Ozzie Albies
2028— Ronald Acuna
2029— Sean Murphy
2030— Matt Olson
2032— Michael Harris
2033— Austin Riley
— Braves’ OF Eddie Rosario was the 6th Brave this season named NL Player of the Week.
— Movie of the Day— Airplane (1980)— After the crew becomes sick with food poisoning, a passenger who is a neurotic ex-fighter pilot must land a commercial plane full of passengers safely.
This is a very funny movie; no joke is too dumb for this movie or its sequel.
Robert Hays is the ex-fighter pilot, Peter Graves is the pilot, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is his co-pilot. Leslie Nielsen is a doctor “I’m not kidding and don’t call me Shirley” and Lloyd Bridges is an air traffic controller “I picked a bad week to give up sniffing glue”
Robert Stack and Barbara Billingsley (the mom on Leave it to Beaver) are also in this movie.
— NFL Trend of the Day— since 2015, Arizona Cardinals are 12-25 ATS as a home favorite.

1979— Blue Jays
2002— Mets
2017— Tigers
2019— White Sox
2023— Angels (Friday)— they were only team of the five to lose the game.
— Only four players have hit 15+ home runs in each of the last seven years:
Mookie Betts
Manny Machado
Jose Ramirez
Eugenio Suarez
— There is a pitcher over in Japan who is expected to be in the major leagues next year; he is said to be the best Japanese pitching prospect since Shohei Ohtani— his name is Yoshinobu Yamamoto— he is 12-5 in 18 games this year for the Orix Buffaloes. Yamamoto turns 25 next week.
— Baltimore Orioles’ over/under win total for this season was 76.5; they’ve already gone over that numbe
r.

Rangers scored twice in 11th inning, Arizona scored three times.
Texas has now lost five games in a row, still leads AL West by 1.5 games.

Brent Rooker hit a walk-off homer for Oakland.
A’s are 8-6 when Blackburn starts, 27-84 in all their other games.
