Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack


Six jobs college football coaches had before they hit it big in coaching:


-- Nick Saban-- Drove a Coke truck in Akron for three summers.


-- Mike Leach-- Was a substitute teacher while an assistant coach at Cal Poly.


-- Butch Jones-- Was intramurals director and tennis coach, even though he has never played tennis.


-- Paul Johnson-- Was a caddy for $6 a bag at a golf course in Linville, NC.


-- Dave Clawson-- Worked at a landfill in Lewiston, NY for eight summers.


-- Bill Snyder-- Taught Spanish at a high school in Missouri.




**********


Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind.......


13) Get well soon, John Farrell. Manager of the Red Sox has Stage One lymphoma, will be away from the team for the rest of the season. Our prayers are with you.


12) 7,444 games, thats how many games the San Diego Padres played before one of their players hit for the cycle. Matt Kemp did it Friday night in Denver, leaving Miami as the only major league team that has never had a player hit for the cycle.


11) Green Bay Packers have only three players who played for another NFL team; every other NFL team has at least 16 of those guys.


10) Was looking forward to watching a replay of the Rams-Raiders game last night, but then I get the Raiders announcers, one of whom is Matt Millen, who is my least favorite football announcer. Wound up muting it and just watching.


9) Blue Jays have sold roughly 500,000 tickets since acquiring Troy Tulowitzki.


8) Golf is hard: Adam Scott got an 8 on a par-3 Friday.


7) White Sox aren't very good this year (54-59) but they're 10-3 in extra innings.


6) Carlos Gomez has been bad since joining the Astros, hasn't hit a lick; he strikes out last night and tries to snap the bat over his leg, finally doing it on his third try.


Astros' play-by-play guy asks the analyst if he ever tried to snap a bat over his leg and got this reply: "Once, when I was seven." Guess they don't like Gomez too much.


5) Eldrick Woods is playing the Greater Greensboro Open next week; he has never played in this event before. He even played in the BC Open once, before he was a big shot. When things start going downhill, it is very tough to turn things around.


4) Cincinnati Reds' last 17 games were all started by rookie pitchers; they've had 62 games started by rookie pitchers this year. Apparently, they're rebuilding.


3) Last night's starter was John Lamb, whose grandfather was the PA announcer at Dodger Stadium from 1962-82. He was also PA announcer at the LA Coliseum.


2) In Michael Jordan's first three months as a Nike employee in the early 80's, Nike sold $70M worth of Air Jordan I sneakers. $70M worth of sneakers!!!!


1) Chase Utley was 4-5 last night, is now 11 for his last 22; Phillies have to trade him- they could get a decent prospect back for him.

Game of the day: CFL Doubleheader


Aug 14, 2015


B.C. Lions at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (-9, 50.5)


The Hamilton Tiger-Cats look to continue their winning ways when they host the BC Lions on Saturday. The Tiger-Cats scored 31 first-half points en route to a 38-8 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to earn their third straight victory, and pull into a three-way tie for top spot in the East Division.


Hamilton is 8-0 in regular-season games at Tim Hortons Field since the stadium opened on Sept. 1, 2014, including a 19-17 victory over the Lions last October, and hopes to improve to 4-1 against West Division opponents this season. BC snapped a two-game skid with a morale-boosting 26-23 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos in Week 7. Andrew Harris seems to be fully recovered from an ankle injury, which kept him out of the last five games of 2014, as he's rushed for more than 100 yards in his last two contests and leads the league with 519 yards on the ground. The Lions have scored at least 36 points in three of the last six meetings with the Tiger-Cats and look for their first win against an East Division foe after failing to the Ottawa Redblacks and Toronto Argonauts earlier in the year.


TV: 7 p.m. ET, TSN


INJURY REPORT: Lions - G Cody Husband (Ques-Undisclosed), DL Ese Mrabure-Ajufo (Ques-Undisclosed) Tiger-Cats - OL Landon Rice (Ques-Undisclosed), OL Brian Simmons (Ques-Undisclosed), DT Drake Nevis (Ques-Undisclosed)


LINE HISTORY: The Tiger-Cats opened as 8-point favorites before jumping a full point to -9. The total has fallen half-a-point from 51 to 50.5.


WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "The Hamilton Tigercats will host the B.C. Lions on Saturday, and Hamilton will be asked to cover a significant spread. The Ticats have never lost at Tim Horton's Field, and they've covered the spread in 10 of their last 11 overall. The Lions are a formidable opponent though, coming off an upset win at home over Edmonton. B.C. has won four of the last six meetings in this series, and both games Hamilton won were decided by single digits." - Covers Experts' Will Rogers


ABOUT THE LIONS (3-3 SU, 2-3-1 ATS, 3-3 O/U): Harris was named one of the CFL Top Performers of the Week after he accounted for 175 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns to lead the Lions past the Eskimos. "Andrew Harris is a tremendous running back and he's one of the biggest threats in the CFL," BC fullback Rolly Lumbala told reporters. "Just when you think he's hit his peak he surprises you with another crazy run." Travis Lulay overcame two interceptions to finish with 195 yards and two touchdowns, but has thrown six picks in his last three outings.


ABOUT THE TIGER-CATS (4-2 SU, 5-1 ATS, 1-5 O/U): Emanuel Davis became the first Hamilton player to return two interceptions for touchdowns in the same game and earned one of the CFL Top Performers of the Week honours for his feat against the Blue Bombers. "I'm just happy to be part of something great this year," Davis told reporters. "I just had to wait for my time and luckily it's paying off right now." Zach Collaros threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns and has racked up 793 passing yards and seven scores during Hamilton's three-game winning streak.


TRENDS:


*Lions are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.
*Tiger-Cats are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall.
*Under is 8-2 in Lions last 10 road games.
*Under is 4-0 in Tiger-Cats last 4 games following a S.U. win.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ottawa Redblacks at Calgary Stampeders (-8.5, 48)


The Calgary Stampeders look to stay undefeated at home when they take on the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday. The Stampeders erased a 17-point deficit en route to a 25-22 victory over the Montreal Alouettes in Week 6 to improve to 4-0 at McMahon Stadium, and have won 10 of their last 11 home games dating back to last season.


Calgary is tied with the Edmonton Eskimos for first place in the West Division with eight points and hopes to pull ahead of its provincial rival by avenging a 29-26 overtime loss to the Redblacks on July 24. Ottawa has already doubled its win total from a year ago following a 26-23 victory over the Alouettes in Week 7. Henry Burris is back on track after two disappointing displays against the Eskimos as he's thrown for 712 yards and five touchdowns in his last two games, including 389 yards and three scores against the Stampeders three weeks ago. Ottawa hopes to win three consecutive games for the first time in franchise history and break out of the three-team logjam at the top of the East Division.

LINE HISTORY: The Stamps opened at 7.5-point favorites before jumping a full point to -8.5. The total has remained at 48 since open.


INJURY REPORT: Redblacks - WR Chris WIlliams (Ques-Undisclosed) Stampeders - WR Joe West (Ques-Leg)


WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "The Ottawa Redblacks come into Calgary as a big underdog this weekend, despite the fact that both teams have an identical 4-2 record. The Redblacks already upset the Stamps in Ottawa earlier this year, and they rank second overall in the CFL in total defense. It might be worth noting that all four of the Stampeders wins this season have come in games decided by less than a TD." - Covers Expert Will Rogers


ABOUT THE REDBLACKS (4-2 SU, 4-2 ATS, 3-3 O/U): Ottawa made some roster moves as it signed running back Travon Van and released Jock Sanders. "We brought Jock in hoping to implement him a bit more offensively but it hadn't gotten to that point," Redblacks general manager Marcel Desjardins told reporters. "He's been good, but he hasn't been what we'd hoped he'd be." Chris Williams had seven catches for 162 yards and a touchdown in the first meeting with Calgary and leads the team with 432 receiving yards.


ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (4-2 SU, 0-6 ATS, 1-5 O/U): Calgary signed running back Keith Toston, who was cut at the end of preseason, to the practice squad to provide depth with Jon Cornish out for the foreseeable future with a broken thumb. "Keith had a really good training camp for us and he knows our system," Stampeders coach John Hufnagel told reporters. "If his numbers gets called he'll be ready to go." Defensive back Adam Thibault sustained an ankle injury in the first meeting with the Redblacks but is likely to return in time for Saturday's contest.


TRENDS:


*RedBlacks are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
*Stampeders are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
*Over is 4-1-1 in RedBlacks last 6 games following a S.U. win.
*Under is 5-0 in Stampeders last 5 home games.
