239— Fran Tarkenton

159— Tommy Kramer
135— Daunte Culpepper
66— Wade Wilson
65— Brad Johnson
Quote of the Day
“I’m definitely looking forward to his (Kyler Murray’s) speed, his quickness, his arm strength that he’s shown countless times over the years. then for J.J., for somebody to enter that room with that type of ability, that type of talent, he’s got to step it up a little bit. So it’s good for him to feel that type of pressure and to really lock in a little bit and say, ‘It’s either now or I’m going to take that back seat again.’”
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson

— Ravens/Dolphins will be the only NFL coaching staffs this fall with no one on their staff who has ever been an NFL head coach. New Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley was the head coach for four years at Boston College, before going to Green Bay as defensive coordinator.
— Before last week, the last time Shohei Ohtani pitched in a major league game, but didn’t bat in that game, was 2021, when he was playing for the Angels.
— There will be another round of conference re-alignment this fall, with the Pac-12 coming back to life as a glorified version of the Mountain West, after UCLA/USC, Oregon/Washington bolted to the Big 18 and the Arizona schools skipped off to the Big X.
Hell, Cal/Stanford are in the ACC now; if I was a kid these days, I’d for sure fail Geography.
— UConn poached a basketball player from Duke; Nikolas Khamenia, a 6-8 sophomore who scored around five points a game last year. I’m wondering how much it was about adding a bench player, as opposed to busting Duke’s balls and poaching one of their guys.
— This past weekend, umpire Austin Jones was working the Mets-Cubs series, while Tyler Jones was working the Royals’ series in the Bronx.
They are the first-ever twin brothers who both became major league umpires; overall, they’re the fourth set of brothers who became big league umps. First twins, though.
