Armadillo: My running diary of Super Bowl LI……..
After an interminable pre-game show, they’re actually going to play the Super Bowl. Here are some of my thoughts as I watch the game……….
6:25— Luke Bryan cranks out the National Anthem in 2:04; if you bet the under, go cash your ticket.
6:30— There is a golf playoff going on at the Phoenix Open; Webb Simpson and Hideki Matsuyama. Good competition, but am I the only person watching this?
6:33— President George H Bush (41) is flipping the coin; no matter what your politics, have to have lot of respect for this man, who went skydiving on his 75th birthday. A great American and a very tough guy— he was shot down while flying as a Navy pilot in the war.
6:38— While Atlanta won the coin toss, Simpson just left the winning putt about an inch short, just like Matsuyama did on the 18th hole. The playoff continues but now no one is watching.
6:41— An argument for Brady as the all-time best QB is that New England rarely has had a great WR; Julian Edelman was a QB in college at Kent State.
6:42— Patriots go 3-and-out; this is where I mention that in six Super Bowls, Brady-led offenses have scored zero first quarter points.
6:45— Falcons get a long run but wind up punting, first time in nine games they didn’t score a TD on their opening drive.
6:53— Budweiser had the option to have the first commercial, but turned it down- their research says commercials are better off run later in the game. Google had the first commercial instead.
6:55— Hideki Matsuyama makes a pretty long putt, wins the Phoenix Open for the second year in a row, and I put my remote away for the next three hours.
5:08 left in first quarter, 0-0. That total of 59 looks pretty daunting right now.
7:05— Scoreless first quarter. Weird stat that Brady has put up zero first quarter points out in the first quarter of his seven Super Bowls, yet won four of the first six.
7:07— New England fumbles, Falcons recover at the Atlanta 29. America cheers.
7:16— Devonte Freeman scores the first TD of the game; Atlanta is running ball down New England’s throat. 12:15 left in the half. Falcons 7-nil. Atlanta is 9-1 this year when they score first.
Referee Gene Steratore worked the Nebraska-Iowa basketball game today; someday I hope he gets to work a Super Bowl.
Good Honda commercial with some famous people talking over their high school yearbook pictures. It would take an enormous amount of money for me to show anyone my senior picture from way back when. Uh uh, no thanks.
Oh by the way, Falcons’ center Alex Mack is playing this game with a broken leg. In an age where NBA players now routinely take “maintenance days” just to rest up, a guy is playing on the offensive line with a freakin’ broken leg.
7:21— I’m still an advocate of throwing long passes towards YOUR SIDELINE; think you get an extra interference call or two a game that way.
7:28— Austin Hooper catches a TD pass from Ryan and Kyle Shanahan’s agent is doing backflips, whoever/wherever he is. Young Shanahan’s price tag is going up by the second here. 14-0 Atlanta with 8:48 left in the half.
Roger Staubach/Hank Aaron both had birthdays today; couple of pretty good ballplayers.
7:32— Total yards so far: 189-111, Falcons. Joe Buck informs me that no team has won a Super Bowl after trailing by more than ten points. Thanks, Joe.
Falcons traded five draft picks to Cleveland so they could draft Julio Jones; none of those five players is still in the NFL.
7:38— New England is dying here, but refs have called two defensive holding penalties on Atlanta on this drive. Falcons have allowed 30+ points six times this year, although only once since Halloween. Their tackling so far has been tremendous.
Lady Gaga is wearing sunglasses in an indoor stadium. With the roof closed.
Three defensive holding penalties on this drive; where were these guys when the Rams played New England in the Super Bowl?
7:45— Robert Alford picks off a pass and scores an 82-yard TD for the Falcons. Wow. Arthur Blank is looking for people to high-5 in his box. Alford showboats for the last 20 yards but for the love of God, this is a shocking result. 21-nil Falcons.
One of Mr Blank’s sons is named Max. Max Blank; is that a tremendous name or what? You could imagine a movie with a private eye named Max Blank.
Atlanta’s defensive coordinator is Richard Smith, working for his 8th NFL team in 28 years. His heartbeat has to be pretty high right now; his defense is playing its ass off!!!!
One of the endless list of prop bets was over 49.5 yards for the longest touchdown of the game, so if you had over, go cash your ticket.
7:55— Is Tom Brady the only NFL quarterback who makes less money than his wife?
A ticket to the first Super Bowl cost $12. A souvenir soda at this Super Bowl costs $11.
8:02— Troy Aikman kills Josh McDaniels’ play selection after a screen pass on 3rd down falls flat. New England kicks a field goal and it is 21-3 Falcons at halftime. I am stunned.
Time to hit the mens’ room and get some food!!!!
They opened the roof for the halftime show; seems like a good time to see what is on other channels:
— ESPN has a 30 for 30 on Allen Iverson
— ESPNU has a Memphis-USF womens’ basketball game. Do people bet on this?
— ESPN2 has the Harlem Globetrotters playing on an outdoor court.
— FX1 has motorcycle racing.
— NBC Sports Network has curling on (China 6-3 over US at the half)
— CBS Sports Network has poker on; Phil Hellmuth is playing with an Aria hat on that I declined to buy when I stayed there in December. For what I spent there, they should’ve thrown in a free hat.
8:35— Falcon offense went 68 minutes between drives; they get the second half kickoff.
Teams leading the Super Bowl at halftime are 37-10 (three games were tied).
8:47— Neither team scored on their first drive of second half; now Martha Stewart is on a commercial with Snoop Dawg. Another $5M down the drain.
8:55- Atlanta scores another touchdown; Arthur Blank is dancing again. Falcons just seem like the faster team across the board. 28-3 Atlanta; can we see Robert Kraft? Please?????
Right on cue, FOX shows Kraft and his hideous son Jonathan, who mocked Colts GM Ryan Grigson after he was fired. I understand why he would enjoy Grigson getting canned, since he helped instigate DeflateGate, but be a bigger person and keep it to yourself.
9:00— I’m in my late 50’s; right now I’m thinking of someone who is my age who became a Falcons’ fan as a little kid and has lived/died with every game of theirs since then. They must be SO EXCITED and that clock must be going so slowly for them.
Meanwhile, the Falcons have a new domed stadium opening next year; pretty good time to be selling luxury boxes/PSL’s for the new ballpark, eh?
9:05— Brady just ran for 15 yards, winning somebody a prop bet on his rushing yardage.
9:07— New England scores on a TD pass to White; time-consuming drive, and now the score is only 28-9 as Gostkowski clanks the PAT off the right upright.
Caesar’s Palace offered a prop on: “Will a PAT/FG hit the goal post?” The line was -$600 and of the $20,250 wagered, $20,o00 of it was on “No”. Whoops.
Mike Pence is sitting with Texans’ owner Robert McNair; when he was watching the Super Bowl at this time last year, Mr Pence had zero idea how much his life would change in a year. It won’t happen, but what a book he’ll be able to write if he ever wanted to.
If you had 8-0 in a square pool, you just threw something; if you had 8-9, you’re damn happy.
9:10— Onside kick fails miserably. Falcons take over at New England’s 45 with 2:06 left in the third quarter. If you’re an Atlanta fan, that clock can’t move fast enough.
17 years ago, the Rams led Tennessee 16-0 in the third quarter; a game that seemed over soon got very dicey. That freakin’ clock went so slow. Atlanta fans are not resting easily yet.
9:18— Third quarter is over. 28-9 Atlanta.
9:20— Arizona CB Tyrann Mathieu just tweeted this: “NE should have played Mike Floyd. They have no deep threats… ATL LBs too good. They aren’t any mis matches”
In NFL history, teams leading by 19+ points after third quarter in playoff games are 94-0.
9:27— New England is driving again, but Grady Jarrett (#97 on the Falcons) is having a big game; he has just tossed a few guys out of his way tonight. If you’re thinking (too early) about an MVP for this game, Jarrett deserves consideration.
Jarrett’s dad, by the way, is former Falcon linebacker Jesse Tuggle.
9:29— Patriots kick a field goal; game is 28-12 Atlanta with 9:44 left. If you’re a Falcon fan, that damn clock needs to start moving a little faster. Couple of first downs wouldn’t hurt, either.
Ryan is 7-7 for 121 yards on passes thrown in the middle third of the field. Atlanta’s offense has done very little in this game, but they have run the ball for 6.8 yards/attempt.
9:38— Ryan is sacked/fumbles and New England recovers on the Atlanta 25; if you’re a lifelong Falcon fan, your blood pressure just went up. A lot. This will be the longest hour of your life.
Random baseball stat that I just saw on Twitter: Claudell Washington struck out 39 times against Nolan Ryan, the most of any player ever.
9:40— Danny Amendola just caught a TD pass from Brady and the score is 28-20 with 5:56 left. When Amendola played for the Rams, he got hurt on every other play. Now he’s Cal Ripken.
I’ve lived through a game just like this; if you’re an avid Falcon fan, life is standing still right now; you’re ignoring the commercials and praying for Ryan to hit Julio Jones a couple times. Nothing else matters; you’re not hungry, Arthur Blank isn’t dancing anymore and your team that has never won a Super Bowl is desperately holding on.
9:45— Ryan hits Freeman for a big gain and Atlanta has the ball at midfield. Clock is under 5:00 but one of the Atlanta linemenn just got hurt.
9:49— Julio Jones just made a great catch!!! Fantastic!!! First down and Atlanta is in field goal range. Clock is at 4:40, the ball is on the 22 and those five draft picks the Falcons traded to the Browns so they could draft Jones seems like a mere pittance.
9:53— Good God. The Falcons implode, wind up with a 4th-and-33 near midfield; they’re punting with 3:38 left and New England has two timeouts left.
I’m guessing this is getting big TV ratings.
10:00— Julian Edelman just made a great catch on a deflected pass; Atlanta wasted their last challenge— they’ll lose it. That catch will go down in history as a great play but by God Atlanta, make a play!!!!
10:02— New England is inside the Atlanta 25 and Falcon fans are promising to give up any bad habits they might have if just this one time, their team can win. Even if the Patriots score a TD, they need the 2-point conversion to tie the score.
How hard is Roger Goodell rooting for the Falcons right now?
10:06— White scores another TD. 28-26. High drama. Patriots have to go for 2- they make it, so now a game that was 28-9 after three quarters is 28-28. Kraft and his creepy son are hugging in their box. Aikman just called Brady the best QB ever. I have empathy for loyal Falcon fans.
0:57 left, the Falcons have no timeouts; if you bet the over, the only way you can lose in on a safety. If you took three points or money-lined Atlanta, you’re queasy.
10:10— I saw an article this week that said if the Patriots win 31-28, Vegas sports books would be refunding tickets for a week— so many wagers would be pushed.
10:14— First overtime in Super Bowl history. 28-28. FOX executives have to be thrilled.
10:18— Patriots are -$165 in OT; Atlanta is +$145. New England has the ball first.
During the week, odds on there being overtime was +$525.
10:23— Pass interference on Atlanta; ball is on the 2-yard line. TD wins the game; if they kick a FG, Falcons will get the ball for one possession.
10:24— New England scores, the Patriots win 34-28 and my condolences to Falcon fans.
— Florida State 109, Clemson 61— Losses like this get coaches fired.
— North Carolina 83, Notre Dame 76— Tar Heels out rebounded Notre Dame 44-25 in game played in Greensboro instead of Chapel Hill, because of a water main break.
— California 77, Colorado 66- Buffaloes played without couple of big men.
— Iowa 81, Nebraska 70— Cornhuskers were only down 3 with 3:57 left.
— Thunder 105, Trailblazers 99— Oklahoma City is 30-22, even without Durant.
— Raptors 103, Nets 95— Brooklyn is 9-42. Nine. and. Forty-two. Oy.

Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack
Six of the top minor league prospects for the Arizona Diamondbacks
1) Anthony Banda, P— Was 4-4, 3.67 in 13 AAA starts LY
2) Dawel Lugo, 3B— Hit .306 in half a season in AA Southern League
3) Domingo Leyba, 2B/3B— .288 hitter in three minor league season
4) Socrates Brito, OF— Got 95 AB’s (.179) with the parent club last summer
6) Anfernee Grier, OF— Auburn alum hit only .236 in his first pro season.
19) Jared Miller, P— Another in long line of Vanderbilt pitchers
**********
Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but…….
13) Looking back on Sunday night’s Super Bowl you have to tip your hat to Tom Brady; he is a great leader who finds a way to win. He has a tremendous will to win and that is obviously very important. It is also difficult to measure beforehand.
The Scouting Combine is March 3-6; kids will run the 40, lift weights, do lot of measurable things that scouts will use to justify draft picks. There is no metric to measure heart or desire and until there is, scouting will continue to be an inexact science.
Brady? 6th round pick
Russell Wilson and Joe Montana? 3rd round picks
Kurt Warner? Wasn’t even drafted
Akili Smith, Ryan Leaf, Joey Harrington, JaMarcus Russell; all first round picks.
12) Is Brady the greatest QB ever? He is right up there with Elway-Marino-Montana-Fouts-Kelly, and his five Super Bowl rings are tops in the game. He is still going strong at age 39, so his resume isn’t complete yet. His WR’s have been some unusual guys; no Jerry Rice in the group, which makes him look even better.
11) As for the Falcons, they lost OC Kyle Shanahan to the 49ers, and now they have to pick up the pieces from the biggest collapse in NFL history. You look back on the past and it says teams who lose Super Bowls suffer a hangover— this hangover could also be the worst one yet.
I’m serious; only four teams in any NFL game ever have won after trailing by more than 25 points, and two of those were playoff games. This was the freakin’ Super Bowl.
Only four comebacks that were bigger than Super Bowl LI:
— 1/3/93— Oilers led 35-3, lost 41-38 in Buffalo (playoff game)
— 12/7/80— Saints led 35-7, lost 38-35 in San Francisco
— 1/4/14— Chiefs led 38-10, lost 45-44 in Indianapolis (playoff game)
— 9/21/97— Colts led 26-0, lost 37-35 in Buffalo
10) Pirates announced that Andrew McCutchen will move from center to right field this year, to improve the Pittsburgh defense.
9) Pitcher Jason Hammel gets $16M for two years from the Kansas City Royals.
8) Houston Rockets retired Yao Ming’s #11 last week; I’m thinking a lot of basketball fans in this country (myself included) don’t fully realize the impact Yao has had in promoting basketball around the world, especially in Asia. In other words, he helped make the Rockets and the NBA a freakin’ fortune.
7) Yogi Ferrell did so well on his 10-day contract with the Dallas Mavericks that they gave him a 2-year contract. He scored 30-something in Portland the other night, got paid the next day.
6) UTEP coach Tim Floyd’s first year as a head coach was 1986 at Idaho; his three assistant coaches that year were Larry Eustachy, now head coach at Colorado State, Kermit Davis, the head coach at Middle Tennessee State and Randy Bennett, the head coach at St Mary’s. Thats a really good coaching staff.
5) Oakland A’s are going to name the ballfield at the Oakland Coliseum “Rickey Henderson Field” to honor one of their great players who is also an Oakland native.
4) http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/sto...ove-basketball
This is a great article written by Baxter Holmes about Luke Walton and how his love of basketball came to be as a young kid. Well worth your time to read.
3) Good to read no bad comments about Houston as a host city for the Super Bowl. Everyone said the same thing— they crushed it!!! If the media doesn’t complain, you know its good.
2) When the Cleveland Browns had their expansion draft in 1998, they passed on selecting a quarterback the Rams left unprotected. Bad move; guy was Kurt Warner, who is now a Hall of Famer. Warner backed up Tony Banks in ’98, which wasn’t a fun year. Nick Saban actually won a lot of games with Banks as his QB at Michigan State. Not easy.
1999 was more fun, a hell of a lot more fun.

February 7, 2017
STREAKY TEAMS
Wins and Losses Streak Over/Under Streak
Montreal 3-7 past 10 overall, 1-4 past five road Boston Over 6-0 past six overall
Vancouver 16-3 past 19 overall, 9-0 past nine home Calgary Over 7-2 past nine overall
Washington 3-8 past 11 overall, 1-5 past six road Philadelphia Under 6-1 past seven overall
Capital Punishment
The Washington Capitals look to extend their home winning streak to 10 games when the Carolina Hurricanes pay a visit to the nation's capital. The Caps rolled past the Canes by a 6-1 count back on Jan. 23 in the seventh win of the streak, and they have won two in a row in the series. The 'over' has cashed in all three meetings between the Metropolitian Division rivals this season. The Hurricanes have been punished over the years in D.C., dropping each of their past five trips. The home team is 4-1 in the past five in this series, and Carolina is a dismal 3-9 in the past 12 meetings overall.
Avalanche of Goals
The Colorado Avalanche rank last in the NHL with a goal differential of minus-69, and they rank 29th in high-danger save percentage this season, so you can expect the Montreal offense to get well. While the Habs are just 1-4 in their past five road outings, and they're 1-6 in their past seven in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 (four games in six days) situation, Montreal has won 10 of their past 14 against teams with a losing overall record. On the flip side, the Avalanche have dropped four consecutive against winning teams, and they're just 17-35 in their past 52 on home ice.
Looking Ahead
Tuesday, Jan. 31
The Sharks have struggled mightily in Buffalo over the years. While San Jose is installed as a favorite (-130), the smart money might be on Buffalo. The Sabres have won 10 of their past 12 home meetings with the Sharks, and Buffalo is an unbelievable 16-5-2 in their past 23 against San Jose overall. If the Sabres are to win, they'd have to cool off the Sharks in a hurry. San Jose has won eight of their past 10 games overall, and 14 of their past 17 against Eastern Conference foes. The Sabres are 5-1 in their past five at home, hoiwever, and 6-2 in their past eight against Western Conference sides.
The Wild have managed 17 victories in their past 21 against Western Conference clubs, and they have won 23 of their past 28 games overall. In addition, they have picked on the dregs of the league to get to their lofty place in the standings, going 12-4 in their past 16 against teams with a losing overall. On the flip side, the Jets have dropped 14 of their past 17 games at home against teams with a road winning percentage over .600. However, Winnipeg is 9-1 in their past 10 against Central Division teams, and the home team is 5-2 in the past seven in this series.
Wednesday, Feb. 1
In the lone game Wednesday, the Wild welcome the Blackhawks to St. Paul. The Blackhawks have dropped each of their past five outings against teams with a winning record, and they're 0-4 in their past four road games against teams with a home winning percentage over .600. The Wild are back from a lengthy road trip, and they love home cooking. Minnesota is 7-2 in their past nine home games following a road trip of seven or more days. They have also won 12 of their past 15 home games overall. Chicago has struggled against Minnesota over the past couple of seasons, dropping six straight meetings. The 'over' is 3-0-1 in the past four in this series in St. Paul, and 1-0-3 in the past four overall.
Thursday, Feb. 2
The Blues and Maple Leafs will square off for the second time in seven days, this time at Air Canada Centre. The Blues embarrassed the Leafs 5-1 in the game on Groundhog Day, as Frederik Andersen allowed all five markers. Since the All-Star break, Toronto has had tremendous difficulty on defense and in the crease, allowing 5.5 goals per game over the past four outings. As such, the 'over' is 3-0-1 in their past four games, including 1-0-1 with two lines of six. The Blues have won four of their past six games on the road, allowing just 1.83 goals over the past six outings.
The Canadiens move on from one struggling Western Conference club to another when they pay a visit to the desert. The Coyotes rank 29th in the NHL in goal differential at minus-45, and they're also 29th in the league in goals scored. Arizona has won three in a row against Eastern Conference teams, however. If you're into totals, the 'over' is 4-1-3 in the past eight for the Coyotes, while the 'over' is 4-1 in Montreal's past five games against Western Conference teams heading into Tuesday's game in Colorado. In the first meeting Oct. 20, the Canadiens thrashed the Coyotes by a 5-2 count at Bell Centre. However, the Coyotes won on home ice against the Habs by a 6-2 score last Feb. 15.
Friday, Feb. 3
The NHL schedule is short and sweet Friday night, with just four teams in action. However, Minnesota is on the ice against Tampa Bay and Chicago heads to Winnipeg. Both games should be very high-scoring affairs.
Minnesota enters Wednesday's game with two or more goals in 34 of his past 35 games. The 'over' has cashed in eight straight home games for the Wild dating back to Dec. 20., and the 'over' is 8-1 in the past nine games overall for the Wild heading into play Wednesday. These two teams split a pair of meetings last season, and the 'under' was 1-0-1 in the two outings. Minnesota pushed aside Tampa 1-0 in the last meeting in St. Paul on Nov. 7, 2015, and they have won three straight home outings against the Lightning. The 'under' is a perfect 4-0 in the past four meetings at home against the Lightning dating back to Nov. 28, 2008.
February 7, 2017
STREAKY TEAMS
Wins and Losses Streak Over/Under Streak
Montreal 3-7 past 10 overall, 1-4 past five road Boston Over 6-0 past six overall
Vancouver 16-3 past 19 overall, 9-0 past nine home Calgary Over 7-2 past nine overall
Washington 3-8 past 11 overall, 1-5 past six road Philadelphia Under 6-1 past seven overall

— Siena 81, Iona 79- Saints trailed by double digits in second half.
— Penn State 70, Maryland 64— Young Terps lose their second game in a row.
— Michigan 86, Michigan State 57— Game was 55-29 at the half. Wow.

— Syracuse 82, Clemson 81— Orangemen hit a 3 from the right corner at the buzzer.

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Mid-week musings
13) Betting handle on the Super Bowl in Las Vegas was $138.5M; hard to believe that sports betting won’t be legal everywhere in this country before too long.
If you care about such things, Vegas books made over $10M profit on that $138.5M handle.
12) Falcons hired Steve Sarkisian as its new OC, meaning Alabama will soon have its third OC of 2017, probably before Presidents’ Day.
Alabama got to the national title game with freshman Jalen Hurts at QB, but Hurts isn’t a good passer; Crimson Tide signed two freshman QB’s- that could be a contentious situation for the guy who winds up as the offensive coordinator- that guy will be Saban’s 6th OC in his ten years as Alabama’s head coach.
11) LSU football coach Ed Orgeron has himself a problem; after Signing Day, he demoted an assistant coach who was a prime recruiter in the talent-rich New Orleans area and now the HS coaches there are organizing a boycott of the LSU program. No bueno.
The assistant who was demoted has since bolted to Texas Tech.
10) Sam Vecenie covers basketball for The Sporting News; he knows his stuff. Of his top 16 prospects for the NBA Draft, 13 are college freshmen, three are foreign kids. This is part of why handicapping college basketball has gotten a lot harder: the best players are less dependable.
So the 13 best college basketball players this season were in high school LY; how many of them already have one foot in the NBA, and could care less about college? Maybe all, maybe none, but it is probably in middle somewhere. You think Ben Simmons cared about making the NCAA’s last season?
Used to be that high-level teams with lot of juniors/seniors were teams to focus on; now those kids are suspects, not good enough to move up to the next level. The most talented teams are also the least mature.
9) Friend of mine sent me some message boards from Kentucky/Louisville fans Monday; damn, those people are harsh!!! Lot of negativity- their basketball teams are really good.
As another friend of mine likes to say, “We’re with you win or tie, but we’re not crazy about tie.”
8) Kyle Shanahan’s hiring in San Francisco makes the Shanahans the 7th father/son head coaching combo in the NFL; the other 6?
Phillips-Shula-Nolan-Mora-Ryan-Fassel
Shanahan, by the way, will have control of the 53-man roster.
7) NHL’s Boston Bruins fired coach Claude Julien, kind of a gutless day to do it, with the victory parade for the Patriots burying hockey news in Wednesday’s papers.
Julien was 419-246 as Bruins’ coach; he won the Stanley Cup in 2011, lost in Finals two years later. He didn’t suddenly get stupid; the front office has done a cruddy job and Julien is the fall guy for that. He won’t be out of work long, if he doesn’t want to be.
6) Guy named Sports Dude on Twitter (@GSWahooFalcons) grew up in Cleveland, was born in Atlanta, lives in Oakland. Roots for Indians-Warriors-Falcons. Been a rough year for the man.
5) There are rumors that UConn may bolt the AAC to go the Big East for basketball next year, if they can find a landing spot for their football program. What they really need are healthy players; the AAC is a good enough league.
4) Timing is everything in life: Baylor hired a new football coach, because of a sex scandal that was overlooked by the previous coaching staff- the new football coach brought a strength coach in with him from Temple. Baylor football is trying to start over and remake is image.
In the history of bad timing, with people screaming at Baylor over the behavior of its players, it wasn’t good when the strength coach got busted in a prostitution sting over the weekend. The guy got fired immediately, even though his charge was only a Class B misdemeanor. One of the most expensive Class B misdemeanors ever.
3) DeMarcus Cousins got his 15th/16th technical fouls of the season Monday night; he gets an automatic one-game suspension for Wednesday’s game with Boston. Very talented player, but Cousins hurts himself with outbursts of anger directed towards the officials.
2) Kind of funny listening to people whine about the overtime rules in the NFL, when they had no idea what the rules were until Sunday night. Some people just like to complain.
1— Surprising fact: over the last five years, Baltimore Orioles are winningest team in the American League- they’ve outplayed their preseason projections by 14 games a year during that time. Not sure what he makes, but Buck Showalter is underpaid.

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack
— Golden State is raising ticket prices up to 25% next year, because they can; they have a waiting list of 32,000 people waiting for season tickets.
— Major league baseballs are made in Costa Rica; minor league baseballs are made in China.
— Akron Rubber Ducks of the Eastern League have 22 Fireworks Nights this year; thats almost one-third of all their home games. Fireworks are popular.
— 742 pitchers were used in the major leagues last year, 24.7 per team.
— Jabari Parker hurt his knee last night, looked like a serious injury. We hope it isn’t.
— Quote of the Day, #2: “Since I’ve been here, I’ve had a great deal of hatred against Duke.”
North Carolina’s Joel Berry
Quote of the Day, #1
“This new generation, they all stick together, they all play together, they’re all AAU babies. Any type of criticism directed toward them, they consider it hate. Even if it’s a fair criticism, they consider it hate. So no, it does not bother me what the new generation thinks, to be honest with you. I know they all stick together, so that’s just part of it too.”

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Wrapping up an evening of basketball
13) VCU 54, George Washington 53— VCU pulled a successful scam; down a point with 0:00.4 left, the inbounder runs the baseline, the GW guy ran with him on the baseline and another VCU guy comes up and sets a screen, gets run over by the GW guy and the ref calls a foul!!!!
VCU hits the foul shots and wins by a point, second time in five days they won a road game they were trailing in with less than a second to play. That doesn’t happen a lot.
12) Minnesota 101, Iowa 89 2OT— Gophers led this game 40-29 at the half; they really needed this win, just their second in their last seven games. Mason had 25 points with only one turnover for Minnesota in a hectic game.
If you laid seven points with the Gophers, someone was smiling down on you.
12a) Wyoming 102, Fresno State 100, 4OT— Not sure why Wyoming brings two of its better players off the bench, but they do. Cowboys’ McManamen hit his first seven 3’s in this game, then missed his last six. Dalton had 21 points, 20 boards off the bench for Wyoming.
They had 11,841 fans at the UNLV-Nevada game, biggest crowd in Reno history.
11) Wizards 114, Nets 110 OT— Brooklyn has lost 11 in a row overall, 13 in a row at home, and they want to kick the Islanders out of the Barclays Center? Oy.
10) Seton Hall 72, Providence 70 OT— Game was 41-36 at the half; for people who played the over (135.5), second half of this game was nauseating. The overtime was more uplifting.
Both of these teams are on NCAA bubble or just off it; this really did have feel of a tournament game, albeit a bad tournament game. Providence led by 15 in the first half.
9) Tennessee 75, Ole Miss 66— Vols ended game on a 17-2 run; Rebels didn’t score a basket for last 3:55 of game; they led 64-58 when they scored with 3:56 left to play.
8) Baylor 72, Oklahoma State 69— Bears led this game 70-57 with 4:14 left, then didn’t score for next four minutes. The Big X is a brutal league; there are no bad teams. None.
Baylor did a great job in last 0:10 when OSU had the ball down 3- they defended the arc really well. They didn’t so such a great job in the 4:00 before that, as far as scoring points.
7) This game was Tuesday, but it was an exceptional game……..
Alabama 90, South Carolina 86 4OT’s— Gamecocks were 3-30 in the first half. 3 for 30!!!! They were +10 in turnovers, made 35-50 on the foul line but still lost. Alabama is quietly 7-4 in SEC with four road wins.
6) Morehead State 101, Murray State 100 OT— Belmont’s two main challengers in OVC played an extra 5:00 here. Morehead led by 12 at half, has now won six of its last seven games. Murray was 13-23 on the arc, was +5 in turnovers but still lost.
5) Pittsburgh 83, Boston College 72— Panthers break their 8-game losing streak; five of those eight losses were by 8 or less points. Wonder if Kevin Stallings wishes he was back in the SEC?
4) Spurs 111, 76ers 103— Philly is 13-18 when Joel Embiid plays, 5-16 when he does not.
3) UConn 97, South Florida 51— USF needs a coach for next year; two years ago, they wanted to hire Manhattan’s Steve Masiello but didn’t because of concerns about his resume. Those concerns have been dealt with, but Manhattan hasn’t won much since then. Still think he would be a good fit for the Bulls.
2) Heat 106, Bucks 88— Miami was 11-30 at the halfway point of the season; since then, they are 12-0, and are only a couple games out of a playoff berth. Erik Spoelstra can really coach.
1— Clippers 119, Knicks 115— Former NBA star Charles Oakley had an incident at this game and was escorted out by the police; hope it is nothing serious. About ten years ago, I was in Orlando watching AAU games in the summer, and Oakley was there with Michael Jordan watching Jordan’s sons play.
Charles Oakley is a HUGE man; he would be very high on the list of people I wouldn’t want to be mad at me. Ever.
According to the NYPD, Oakley was charged with three misdemeanor counts of assault for hitting security guards and criminal trespassing.
