Quote of the Day
?I don?t really get into rumors ? Tua is our quarterback. We?re happy with the quarterback, our quarterback situation. I?ll leave it at that, which I?ve said multiple times.?

Saturday?s quiz
Peyton Manning was the #1 pick in the 1998 NFL Draft; what QB was the #2 pick?
Friday?s quiz
Steph Curry?s dad Dell is a TV analyst for the Charlotte Hornets.
Thursday?s quiz
Dusty Baker was on deck when Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run.
*************************************
Saturday?s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind and our first set of NHL trends??.
13) Astros 5, Red Sox 0:
? Houston wins ALCS, 4-2
? Yordan Alvarez went 4-4, scored twice.
? Luis Garcia allowed one hit in 5.2 IP.
12) July 30 of this year, Braves traded Pablo Sandoval to Cleveland for Eddie Rosario, who was hurt at the time. Weird trade; Rosario was hurt (he didn?t play for Atlanta until August 28), and the Indians immediately cut Sandoval. At the time, it seemed like a nothing trade.
Except that Rosario is 18-38 for Atlanta in the playoffs this month, batting leadoff since they lost Jorge Soler to COVID. He is a huge reason why the Braves lead the NLCS, 3-2.
11) There have been only five games in NFL history with no punts:
1992? Bills 34, 49ers 31
2003? Colts 38, Chiefs 31 (playoffs)
2014? Saints 44, Packers 23
2014? Packers 38, Bears 17
2021? Chiefs 42, Eagles 30
10) In the 5+ years since Peyton Manning retired, Denver Broncos have started 10 different quarterbacks, and it doesn?t look like they?ve found their guy yet. Ironic that a team run by John Elway can?t find a franchise QB.
9) Braves? OF Joc Pederson is in his 8th major league season; must be quite a thrill for his dad to watch him play. Stu Pederson played in eight games for the Dodgers in 1985, getting five AB?s in his month in the major leagues- he scored a run and had an RBI, but never got a hit.
8) Cleveland Browns became the Baltimore Ravens in 1996; in 1999, the new Browns came into being. Baker Mayfield is the 30th QB to start for the Browns in 22+ seasons. Obviously, Case Keenum became starting QB #31 Thursday night.
7) Want to win a bar bet? Only one player EVER has hit for the cycle in a postseason game:
Brock Holt, in Game 3 of the 2018 ALDS, for Boston.
6) Las Vegas Raiders play home games on a grass field at Allegiant Stadium; the grass is wheeled outside the domed stadium afterwards, so it can get lot of sun.
When UNLV plays football at Allegiant Stadium, they play on an artificial turf field that is on the floor of the stadium- the grass field stays outside.
5) Wednesday night in New York, Jayson Tatum of the Celtics went 7-30 from the floor in a double OT loss to the Knicks. At some point, when you?re on your way to shooting 7 for 30, you have to stop taking off-balance jumpers and either drive the ball to the hoop or pass the damn thing.
Tatum only took five foul shots the whole game (he played 44:39) so he wasn?t doing a whole lot of driving. Just because you?re the best player doesn?t mean you always to take the key shots.
4) Speaking of the Knicks, they should wear the same uniforms they wore back when they won NBA titles in 1970 and ?73- the Walt Frazier/Willis Reed era. Uniforms they wore in the season opener looked like they were from the 50?s- not good.
3) AAC poached six teams away from Conference USA, giving the AAC team 14 teams when all the dust settles in couple of years. Not sure it makes the league better just makes it lot more attractive to TV networks that need programming.
School like Texas-El Paso is totally screwed right now; read on Twitter where they?re 800 miles away from their closest remaining C-USA rival. Miners need to hook up with the Mountain West or the Sun Belt, just so they have some affordable travel. Mountain West would be preferable.
I?m going to post NHL/NBA trends/stats every so often in this space; it is still way early in the season, but here?s what we?ve got so far. (stats are thru Thursday?s games)

Quote of the Day
?Hey, guys, I don?t have time for that speculation. I mean, that?s a joke to me. I got one of the best jobs in all of professional sport. Why would I have any interest in coaching college football? That will be the last time I address it. Not only today but moving forward. Never say never, but never..??
Steelers? coach Mike Tomlin
Wednesday?s quiz
When was the last time the World Series was a sweep?
Tuesday?s quiz
Seahawks? coach Pete Carroll has coached three NFL teams; Seattle, Jets, Patriots.
Monday?s quiz
Houston Texans are the NFL?s youngest franchise, starting up in 2002.
********************************
Wednesday?s Den, part II; Mid-week musings??.
13) Now that the Lions-Rams game is in the rear view mirror, here are some numbers:
Jared Goff?s record with Sean McVay as coach: 42-21 SU, 34-28-1 ATS
Jared Goff?s record with someone else as coach: 0-14 SU, 4-10 ATS
Don?t tell me Goff is a sub-par QB, he just needs good coaching to succeed. Goff is one of 14 QB?s in the last 55 years to start a Super Bowl in his first three years in the league.
In the NFL, play-callers are in the QB?s ear for 0:25 before every play, so who that voice is makes a huge difference. Not really sure how Detroit is 0-7; they?ve got good skill players around Goff. Lions lost to Baltimore/Minnesota on last-second FG?s, both longer than 50 yards.
Detroit had the ball on the Rams? 12-yard line with 5:00 left Sunday; they could easily be 3-4.
12) Braves 6, Astros 2:
? Morton got hit by line drive, broke his leg, is out for Series.
? Atlanta led 5-0 in third inning.
? Soler is first player EVER to lead off Game 1 of a World Series with a homer.
11) If you?re an NFL fan, there is a show Move the Sticks that is on NFL Network Mondays at 3:00. No BS, three guys just talk about football. Good chance to learn some stuff.
10) The overtime rules in college football:
? Each team gets one possession, starting at the other team?s 25.
? For second OT, teams have to go for two points after a TD.
? Starting with the third OT, teams simply alternate 2-point plays.
Not sure why they just don?t play all the OT?s at the same end of the field, to save time and all.
9) New Orleans Saints have seven Ohio State Buckeyes on their roster, the most players from any college on any one team in the NFL this season.
8) Enough already with Eli Manning; the guy never said two words during his playing career, but now that he?s retired, he?s on TV more than Baker Mayfield, Jennifer Garner and the AT&T lady combined.
I?m guessing at least part of this is the Manning family keeping Eli in the public eye so he?ll get elected to the Hall of Fame the first year he is eligible. His 117-1117 regular season record says otherwise- he won two Super Bowls, so he?ll get in eventually, but he doesn?t deserve to be voted in the first year he is eligible.
7) Ty-Ty Washington, a freshman basketball player at Kentucky, signed an NIL deal with a Porsche dealership in Louisville- the kid is driving a Porsche that is worth $80,000. He is thre 14th-rated player in this season?s freshman class.
6) Orlando Magic are off to a 1-3 start; they?re fifth team EVER to lose their first two games of an NBA season, both by 25+ points:
1971-72? Portland
1987-88? LA Clippers
1989-90? Golden State
2020-21? Golden State
2021-22? Orlando
5) Chicago Bulls are 4-0 for the first time since 1997.
4) College football trends:
? C-USA favorites are 15-7 ATS
? MAC favorites of 9+ points are 2-6 ATS.
? Mountain West favorites of 5 or less points: 2-6 ATS
? Sun Belt home teams are 14-4 ATS.
3) Southern Mississippi is moving from Conference USA to the Sun Belt; in couple of years, there will be no more Conference USA, and an automatic bid to the NCAA basketball tourney will go away, adding another at-large bid.
2) On August 1st, Braves lost 2-1 at home to Milwaukee; they were 52-55, and trailed the Mets by five games in the NL East. Atlanta finished the regular season on a 36-18 run.
1) Last weekend, Sotheby?s auctioned off 11 Picasso paintings, five of which used to hang in a Bellagio restaurant in Las Vegas. All in all, the auction raised $108M, that?s million, with an M.
