Wednesday?s 6-pack:
Andy Katz?s preseason top 6 in college basketball:
6) Purdue
5) Villanova
4) Kansas
3) Texas
2) Gonzaga
1) UCLA

Quote of the Day
?Sacramento has informed Marvin Bagley he is not in the opening night rotation, which is completely baffling. It?s clear they have no plans for him in the future, and yet, passed on potential deals at last year?s deadline and this summer based on ?value.? Instead, they chose to bring him back but not play him, a move completely contradictory to their ?value? argument.?
Begley?s agent, Jeff Schwartz

Wednesday?s quiz
Where did Steph Curry play his college basketball?

Tuesday?s quiz
Jack Del Rio was coach of the Raiders, before Jon Gruden.

Monday?s quiz
Buffalo Bills lost 22-16 at Tennessee in a 1999 playoff game, on a 75-yard kick return with 0:03 left. Wade Phillips was coach of the Bills back then.

**********************************

Wednesday?s Den: Mid-week musings??..

13) Dodgers 6, Braves 5:
? LA erupted for four runs in bottom of 8th inning.
? Cody Bellinger?s 3-run tater was the big hit.
? All three games, team won in its final at-bat.
? Braves lead series, 2-1.

12) Astros 9, Red Sox 2:
? Altuve tied it with HR in 8th, Astros scored seven runs in 9th.
? Houston?s bullpen threw 7.2 scoreless IP.
? So far in series, Astro starters have an 18.90 ERA. Not good.
? Series is tied 2-2.

11) Washington State fired football coach Nick Rolovich and four of his assistants because they refused to get the COVID vaccine; the state of Washington required full vaccinations by Monday for most state employees.

Rolovich was in his second season coaching the Coogs, who are 4-3 after winning their third game in a row last week, 34-31 over Stanford.

10) Chargers? coach Brandon Staley is a defensive guru, but so far this season, on opponents? first drive of the second half, they?ve scored five TD?s on six drives, so opposing offenses have obviously been making better halftime adjustments than the Chargers? defensive coaches.

9) Padres? star Fernando Tatis isn?t going to have shoulder surgery this winter, leaving open the possibility of more shoulder injuries next season. Fantasy baseball experts on the Interweb are saying this will lower his rating in drafts next spring.

8) Teams are 1-5 ATS this season, the week after playing Notre Dame; that one cover belongs to Cincinnati, which is trying to impress pollsters in order to make it into the national playoffs.

7) 76ers coach Doc Rivers threw Ben Simmons out of practice Tuesday after Simmons refused to participate in a defensive drill- the team then suspended Simmons for Wednesday?s season opener against the Pelicans.

Simmons wants to be traded, but who would trade for him? He is a difficult person who seems to be a bad teammate. His one year at LSU, his team didn?t even make the NCAA tournament, losing their last game 71-38, a horrendous tank job.

You have a player as talented as Simmons and you can?t make it into the tournament?

If I owned an NBA team, or coached one, wouldn?t want Simmons on my team.

6) Texas-San Antonio has great helmets; their Roadrunner logo is one of the country?s best.

5) You know you?re watching an old movie when there?s a scene at a gas station and gas is $1.21 a gallon. It is $3.38 a gallon around here now.

4) Atlanta Hawks signed Kevin Huerter to a 4-year, $65M contract extension, pretty good for a kid from Clifton Park, 15-20 minutes north of Armadillo World HQ.

3) Mets? owner Steve Cohen is the richest owner in baseball, worth $14B. Carolina Panthers? owner David Tepper is NFL?s wealthiest owner ($15.6B), but Steve Ballmer, who owns the NBA?s LA Clippers, is worth around $70B.

Must be nice.

2) New York City radio icon Howie Rose was saying on Twitter how he loves the NHL?s 3-on-3 overtime; wishes they would make the 3-on-3 10:00 instead of 5:00 and scrap shootouts, and just have tie games sometimes.

1) New Orleans Saints play Monday night in Seattle; it?ll be their sixth game this season, played in six different cities- they played a ?home? game in Jacksonville in Week 1.

Thursday?s quiz
Which current major league manager was on deck when Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run?

Wednesday?s quiz
Steph Curry played his college basketball at Davidson.

Tuesday?s quiz
Jack Del Rio was coach of the Raiders, before Jon Gruden.

*********************************************

Thursday?s Den: Doing some thinking out loud??..

13) Case Keenum is going to start at QB for the Browns Thursday night when they host Denver. Baker Mayfield has a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder.

Keenum is in his 10th NFL season, on his sixth team; he has a 27-35 record as a starter- he was 11-3 for the ?17 Vikings. Still a mystery why they chose Kirk Cousins over Keenum, but they did.

Vikings are 28-25-1 since Keenum left Minnesota.

12) Braves 9, Dodgers 2:
? Rosario homered twice, knocked in four runs.
? Smyly gave Atlanta 3.2 IP as bulk pitcher.
? Braves lead series, 3-1.

11) Astros 9, Red Sox 1:
? Houston scored five runs in 6th to break open close game.
? Alvarez had three hits, knocked in three runs.
? Astros lead series, 3-2
? Dusty Baker now has 2,024 wins as a manager; he had 2,023 hits as a player.

10) This is how hitting has gotten more difficult in the modern era; in JD Martinez? first 27 plate appearances in the playoffs this month, he faced 21 different pitchers. Hitting is easier if you see the same pitcher over and over; seeing a different guy every time up makes it tougher.

Example; in his career, Mickey Mantle faced these pitchers a lot:

? Billy Pierce, 198 AB?s
? Early Wynn, 161 AB?s
? Frank Lary, 138 AB?s.

In this modern era, Manny Machado has faced these pitchers a lot:
? CC Sabathia, 56 AB?s
? Chris Archer, 52 AB?s
? Jake Odorizzi, 48 AB?s

9) One of the TV networks has a camera in second base, which gives an interesting view of stolen bases, kind of like the camera in the end zone pylon in NFL games.

8) Earlier this week, saw Illinois football coach Bret Bielema go on a 1:36 rant, basically trashing his own team; I think his intent was to shred the job his predecessor Lovie Smith did in building the Illinois roster, but what he really did was throw his current players under the bus.

Bielema had a good run at Wisconsin, going 68-24, but then he had a disagreement with his AD and jumped to Arkansas, where he went 29-34. This is his first year at Illinois.

His AD at Wisconsin was the old football coach; maybe he should?ve stayed there.

7) Appalachian State 30, Coastal Carolina 27:
? App State kicked FG at 0:00 for the win.
? Coastal led 20-14 at halftime.
? App State had TD plays of 47-28-43 yards.

6) Purdue WR David Bell has enjoyed playing against Iowa:
2019- 13 catches, 197 yards, one TD
2020- 13 catches, 121 yards, 3 TD?s
2021- 11 catches, 240 yards, one TD

5) Seattle Seahawks signed QB Jacob Eason off waivers from the Colts, to give Seattle depth at QB, with Russell Wilson hurt.

Geno Smith is starting for Seattle now; his backups are Jake Luton, Danny Etling.

4) Good to hear Stan Van Gundy doing NBA games on TNT; he got a raw deal getting fired by the Pelicans, after only one season. Van Gundy isn?t funny like his brother Jeff, but he talks all ball? it is like listening to a basketball clinic- always learn stuff from him.

3) Indiana Pacers? rookie Chris Duarte is the first rookie to start on Opening Night for Indiana since Jamaal Tinsley 20 years ago.

2) Average salary in the NBA is $7,361,409. Median salary is $3,113,160, meaning half the players make more than that, half the players make less than that.

There are seven NBA players making $40M+ this season.

1) Apparently, the guy who founded match.com lost his girlfriend when she met someone else on??.match.com. Go figure.
