Saturday’s quiz
Where did Jordan Love play his college football?
Friday’s quiz
Joe Musgrove threw the first no-hitter in San Diego Padres’ history. Dylan Cease threw the second one on Thursday.
Thursday’s quiz
Michael Jordan played 15 years in the NBA; he finished his career with the Washington Wizards.
**********************************************
Saturday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here……..
— Good day to be a young quarterback……..
Green Bay Packers signed Jordan Love to a 4-year, $220M contract extension, including the largest signing bonus in NFL history. Love is 10-10 as an NFL starter, 1-1 in playoff games. Pretty good bank for a guy who has been a starter for one year.
Miami Dolphins signed Tua Tagovailoa for four years, $212.4M, with $167M of that money guaranteed; Tagovailoa has a 32-20 record as a starter, 0-1 in playoff games.
— By the way, had Jordan Love not signed and held out instead, Green Bay’s backup QB’s right now are Sean Clifford, rookie Michael Pratt and Jacob Eason, which is a nice way of saying that Love had a tremendous amount of leverage.
— If you’re wondering who will back up rookie QB Caleb Williams in Chicago, or start until he is ready, it will be Tyson Bagent (2-2 as a starter LY), Brett Rypien, who is also 2-2 as a starter.
— Ravens’ QB Lamar Jackson has been sick all week, has practiced for only an hour; something to monitor, the stuff I read made it sound like a pretty severe illness.
— Panthers-Buccaneers don’t play until Week 13; they play again in Week 17. Dave Canales is the new head coach in Carolina- he was Tampa Bay’s offensive coordinator last year.
— Not sure what to make of this, but the Bengals were 9-8 last year despite Joe Burrow being banged up a lot, in large part because they had a +10 turnover ratio. +10 turnover ratios don’t happen every year, but if they can keep Burrow in one piece, they’ll be just fine.
— Team USA’s basketball team has seven guys age 30+, the oldest team at the Olympics; the games seem like they’re spread out pretty well, with two days between games early on, so the age thing shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
— Famous birthdays, July 27th:
Mack Calvin, 77
Maureen McGovern, 75
Reggie McKenzie, 74
Brian Kingman, 71
Hugh Green, 65
Julian McMahon, 56
Alex Rodriguez, 49
Max Scherzer, 40
Ryan Tannehill, 36
— Mets 8, Braves 4
Mets passed slumping Atlanta in the Wild Card race.
Braves have lost six in a row, their worst skid since 2017.
Kodai Senga pitched 5.1 IP in his ’24 debut, but strained a calf muscle, left early.
— Astros 5, Dodgers 0
Framber Valdez struck out 10 guys in 6.1 IP.
Dodgers traded P James Paxton to Boston, for a minor league IF,
— Mariners 10, White Sox 0
Seattle scored 14 runs in its previous eight games; they scored 8 runs in the top of the first inning in this game.
— Nationals 10, Cardinals 8 (10)
Washington got no-hit Thursday; they had 11 hits here, rallying back from a 5-2 deficit.
Juan Yepez was 3-4 with 2 runs scored, 2 RBI against his old team.
— Red Sox 9, New York 7
Boston scored three runs in bottom of the 8th for a comeback win.
Masataka Yoshida had the game-winning single for Boston.
— A’s 5, Angels 4
Brent Rooker hit his 10th home in July.
A’s are 13-7 in July, their first winning month in two years.
— If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
NL: Phillies, Brewers, Dodgers. Wild Cards: Mets, Braves, Padres
AL: Orioles, Guardians, Astros. Wild Cards: New York, Twins, Royals

We’re in a position where the number of players you look to add and the impact of those players may not be as large as we needed in the past.”
