Friday’s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind…….
— If you know Steph Curry, today would be a good day to ask him for a loan; the great shooting guard signed a one-year extension with Golden State, which will net him $62.6M two years from now, when Curry will be 38 years old.
In 2026-27, Curry will be making $763,414 for every game the Warriors play.
Curry’s salary the next three years:
2024-25: $55.76M
2025-26: $59.6M
2026-27: $62.6M

***********************************************
Saturday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here…….
— Monday is Labor Day, a national holiday, but there are only 11 baseball games, which means that eight teams have Labor Day off, which is nonsensical.
— There were also 11 baseball games Thursday; Oakland A’s were only team of the 22 that played who scored a run in the first inning. I mention that because you can bet on whether or not teams score in the first inning.
— A’s 9, Rangers 2
Brett Rooker homered twice for the A’s, who have now had consecutive winning months for the first time since 2021.
Mark Kotsay has legitimately done an excellent job managing this young team; the guy in Kansas City will get Manager of the Year, but Kotsay deserves kudos for the job he is doing.
— Astros 3, Royals 2
Framber Valdez pitched 7 innings, didn’t allow a hit.
Paul DeJong tied the game 2-2 with a 9th inning home run.
Jose Altuve walked it off with a 9th inning double off the Crawford Boxes.
— Cubs 7, Nationals 6
Chicago scored seven runs in the second inning.
Cubs scored 80 runs in their last eight games.
Cubs are 8-2 in last ten games, are five games out of last playoff spot.
— Royals 1B Vinnie Pasquantino broke his thumb Thursday, is out 6-8 weeks, which means he is likely out for the year. Pasquantino has 19 homers, 97 RBI this year; big loss for the Royals.
— Braves 7, Phillies 2
Orlando Arcia homered twice for Atlanta.
Phillies lead the Braves by five games in NL East, with 27 games to play.
— Famous birthdays, August 31st:
Richard Gere, 75
Tom Candiotti, 68
Hideo Nomo, 56
Debbie Gibson, 54
Larry Fitzgerald, 41
Matt Adams, 36
Ronel Blanco, 31
Jalen Brunson, 28
Desmond Ridder, 25
— Indiana Pacers gave guard T.J. McConnell a 4-year contract extension worth $45M; he scored 10.2 ppg last year, first time in his nine NBA seasons that he averaged double figures.
— TCU 34, Stanford 27
TCU scored two TD’s in 1:22 span late in 4th quarter for the win.
Cardinal led 17-10 at halftime.
Horned Frogs outgained Stanford, 457-288.
— Michigan State 16, Florida Atlantic 10
First score of game was a safety for the Spartans.
MSU led 16-3 at the half, didn’t score in second half.
Teams combined to convert 5-28 third down plays.
— Wisconsin 28, Western Michigan 14
Badgers led 10-7 at halftime.
Broncos led 14-13 early in 4th quarter.
Wisconsin was 10-16 on 3rd down, Broncos 3-10
— Oklahoma 51, Temple 3
From 2015-19, Temple was 43-24.
Since 2020, Temple is 10-34.
Oklahoma is in the SEC now, which takes some getting used to.
— They have a 2:00 warning in college football now, probably because they make lot of $$$ for TV commercials during the 2:00 warning, but it does make a difference for coaches.
— Miami Dolphins gave coach Mike McDaniel a contract extension thru 2028; Dolphins are 20-16 in two years under McDaniel, 0-2 in playoffs- they haven’t won a playoff game since 2000, when Dave Wannstedt was their coach.
