Sunday?s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday

13) An 80-1 shot won the Kentucky Derby Saturday, 2nd-biggest underdog ever to win the Run for the Roses (in 1913, a 91-1 shot won). The overhead shot of the race is fascinating to watch, the route the winning jockey took to get his horse from 17th on the far turn to winning the race.

Winning jockey made $186,000 for his two minutes? work; of that money, his agent gets 25% of it ($46,500), the valet gets $9,300 (5%).

12) When the NFL schedule comes out on Thursday, remember that the 17th game is AFC vs NFC, with these divisional matchups:
AFC East @ NFC West
AFC North @ NFC East
AFC South @ NFC North
AFC West @ NFC South

Not necessarily Week 18 games, just the extra game for each team, from the way the schedule used to be made out. Last year AFC teams had nine home games; this year NFC teams do.

11) Thru Friday?s games, major league hitters were batting .233 this season, the lowest batting average ever for a season. In 1968, batters hit .237, then they lowered the mound. In 1888 and 1908, they hit .239. Banning shifts next year will cause batting averages to go up.

10) Astros 3, Tigers 2:
? Houston beats the Tigers 3-2 for the third day in a row.
? Detroit has scored 2 or fewer runs in 14 of their 26 games.

9) Milwaukee Brewers are 18-1 when they score 3+ runs, 14-0 when they score 5+ runs.

8) Last year, Seattle Mariners went 90-72; they were 33-19 in one-run games, which is really good, but also hard to duplicate. Regression was expected.

So far this season, Seattle is off to a 12-16 start; they?re 3-5 in one run games. Mariners have lost 10 of their last 11 games. Things aren?t looking good.

7) Minnesota 1, Oakland 0? A?s allowed total of six runs in last three games, but lost all three- they?ve lost eight games in a row overall. Going to be a long summer in Oakland.

6) Dodgers 7-6, Cubs 0-2? Chicago scored total of 11 runs in their last eight games; they?re 9-17. What is this franchise doing? Chicago is a huge market; how are they running their franchise like this? Cubs have their own TV network that costs money to watch; who is ponying up money to watch this bunch of scrubs?

5) Bucks 103, Celtics 101:
? Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 42 points, had 12 rebounds, 8 assists.
? Jayson Tatum was only 4-19 from the floor.
? Milwaukee leads series, 2-1

4) Golden State 142, Memphis 112:
? Warriors shot 63% from floor, made 17-32 on arc.
? Golden State had two subs who were +33/+30.
? Warriors lead series, 2-1.

3) USFL regular season is being played entirely in Birmingham, but their playoffs will have a much cooler location; Canton, Ohio, at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

2) Birmingham 16, Tampa Bay 10:
? Birmingham outscored Bandits 9-0 in second half.
? Hometown Stallions improve to 4-0.
? Birmingham out rushed Tampa Bay, 126-53

1) New Jersey 21, Pittsburgh 13:
? Generals win for the third week in a row.
? Maulers are scoring only 9 ppg in their 0-4 start.
? Two New Jersey QB?s combined to complete 20-24 passes, for 200 yards.

Quote of the Day
?I don?t talk about it. I don?t even think about that. That?s the business side of it. Let whoever handles that handle that. Boston?s got a tough decision and they got to fork over some money. It?s that simple to get Devers and Bogey [under long-term contracts]. We really need them. These are impact players.?
Red Sox OF Alex Verdugo

Braves moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta in 1966; they had played in Boston before they were in Milwaukee.

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

Monday?s Den: Wrapping up a sports weekend

13) Interesting day of baseball Sunday; in seven of 18 games, the winning run scored from the 7th inning on- that?s a lot of close games for one day.

12) Padres 3, Marlins 2:
? Trailing 2-0, San Diego scored three runs in 9th inning.
? Former Marlin Jorge Alfaro hit a 3-run, pinch-hit, walk-off homer.
? Padres won nine of their last 12 games.

11) Angels 5, Nationals 4:
? Halos scored three times in bottom of 9th.
? Ohtani tied game with 2-run double, Rendon won it with a single.
? Angels are 11-4 in their last fifteen games.

10) White Sox 3, Red Sox 2:
? Keuchel allowed only two runs in six IP.
? Boston was 1-11 with runners in scoring position.
? Red Sox lost five in row, 14 of last 18 games.

9) Astros 5, Tigers 0:
? Detroit went 0-4 in Houston, scoring total of six runs.
? Odorizzi threw 5 scoreless IP, allowing three baserunners.
? Aledmys Diaz hit a grand slam in third inning.

8) 76ers 116, Heat 108:
? Embiid had 24 points, 11 rebounds; he is turning into this generation?s Willis Reed, playing with a broken orbital bone in his eye.
? Harden scored 31 points, with 7 boards, 9 assists.
? Home side has won all four series games.

7) Mavericks 111, Suns 101:
? Dallas was 20-44 on the arc, 18-41 inside arc.
? Mavericks were +16 in the 34:00 Kleber came off bench.
? Home side has won all four series games.

6) HBO?s series Winning Time ended its first season Sunday night, the series about the 1980?s Lakers. I have no idea what to make of it, how much of it is true/false, but it was interesting.

This I?m pretty sure of; hopefully Jerry West will sue the people who made this series. The hatchet job they did on him is kind of weird; they try to make him look like a raving lunatic.

5) Game 6 of the 1980 NBA Finals, the Lakers beat the 76ers without Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who hurt his ankle. Here is what actually happened in the game:
? Lakers won 123-107; game was 60-60 at halftime.
? Magic Johnson played center, scored 42 points, had 15 rebounds.
? Lakers were 33-35 on foul line, Philly 13-22. The game was in Philadelphia.

4) Here is how much the NBA has changed in the last 42 years; those two teams combined to shoot 0-8 from the arc. For the whole game.

In Sunday night?s Miami-Philly game, teams combined to make 23-68 3-pointers.

3) Baylor QB Gerry Bohanon transferred to South Florida; he threw for 2,237 yards for 12-2 Baylor last year, tossing 18 TD?s, with 7 INTs. He also ran for 321 yards.

2) New Orleans 23, Houston 16:
? Both teams made a field goal longer than 50 yards.
? Breakers ran 73 plays for 523 yards; Houston 46 plays for 155 yards.
? New Orleans won despite a minus-4 turnover ratio (0-4

1) Thru four weeks, 3-1 New Jersey leads the North Division; Birmingham is 4-0 in the South, a game ahead of the Breakers. 0-4 Pittsburgh is the lone winless team.

Quote of the Day
?Are you truly going to implement your culture and not get derailed? Are you gonna bring guys in that are going to fit what you want to do in all three phases? Are you truly going to have competition year-in and year-out? I mean, we can go in a million different directions, but when guys know when they come in the building that no matter how they got there, they have a chance, that?s how you sustain success. You rip that entitlement out.?
Falcons? coach Arthur Smith

Tuesday?s quiz

Sunday?s quiz

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

Tuesday?s Den: Nobody asked me, but??.

13) Someday, NFL Films should do a special with a behind-the-scenes look at how they make the NFL schedule; would be fascinating TV.

Who gets what primetime games, the Thanksgiving/Christmas games. Apparently when Tom Brady un-retired, the schedule makers had to scramble and put the Buccaneers back in the mix for prominent time slots. Russell Wilson getting traded, Aaron Rodgers staying in Green Bay all play into what games get the most national TV exposure.

12) Speaking of which, NFL announced their Week 2 Monday night schedule:
7:00? Tennessee @ Buffalo
8:30? Minnesota @ Philadelphia

League didn?t get very good TV ratings when the nightcap of their twin bills were 10:30 starts out west, so they?ve been scratched. The NFL definitely cares about its TV ratings. League has to figure that after the Buffalo game ends, viewers will switch over for the second half of the game in Philadelphia.

11) Boston 116, Milwaukee 108:
? Tatum/Horford both scored 30 points for the Celtics.
? Giannis was 14-32 from floor; other four Milwaukee starters were combined 17-45
? Series is tied 2-2; the NBA?s accountants are happy- they like longer series.

10) Golden State assistant coach Mike Brown was named new head coach of the Sacramento Kings Monday, then he announced he is staying with the Warriors thru the end of the playoffs.

Then Golden State coach Steve Kerr tested positive for COVID and Brown was named interim coach of the Warriors until Kerr returns.

So, the Warriors are being coached by Sacramento?s coach; that?s a new one.

9) Warriors 101, Grizzlies 98:
? Warriors outscored Memphis 39-29 in 4th quarter.
? Ja Morant (knee) didn?t play for Memphis.
? Memphis was +13 in 27:00 Adams played, minus-16 in 21:00 he sat out.

8) Cubs 6, Padres 0:
? Cubs played Sunday night at home, then had this game in San Diego; tough scheduling spot.
? Kyle Hendricks threw 116 pitches, pitched 8.2 IP of shutout ball for Chicago.
? San Diego had only three hits.

7) I?m in a 14-team fantasy baseball league, with 29 guys on each team, so that is 406 players in our league. Pretty deep league.

Last week, the two Players of the Week were Tampa Bay?s Manuel Margot, Milwaukee?s Rowdy Tellez, neither of whom was on a roster in our league when last week started.

Tellez got picked up during the week; Margot is still out there. Lot of skeptics.

6) NHL?s New York Islanders fired coach Barry Trotz; team was 37-35-10 this season, missing playoffs for first time in four years under Trotz.

My cousin and his son, who are avid Islander fans, are shocked/dismayed by this move. In four years as the team?s coach, Trotz was 152-102-34 in regular season, 28-21 in the playoffs. In his 23-year career as a head coach, he is 914-670-60-168.

Trotz won the Stanley Cup in Washington four years ago, then got canned by the Caps, which was also weird. Must be an interesting story why all this happened.

5) Detroit Mercy G Antoine Davis entered the transfer portal this spring, which was odd, since his dad is Detroit?s coach, but now he?s announced that he is staying with the Titans.

This past season, Davis was 3rd in the nation in scoring at 23.9 ppg, and he was co-Horizon League Player of the Year- he?s scored 2,734 points in his career, 22nd all-time in NCAA history. Shooting is marketable, for sure.

Davis made four official visits in the last month, to Maryland, BYU, Georgetown and Kansas State, but he decided to stay home and help his dad keep his job.

4) Guardians 12, White Sox 9 (11)
? Cleveland tied game with six runs in ninth inning
? Josh Naylor hit a grand slam in 9th inning, 3-run homer in 11th.
? Naylor became the first player since RBI?s became official in 1920 to have eight RBI?s from the eighth inning on in a game.

3) Atlanta Falcons have $62M in dead money on their salary cap for this coming season; that is 30% of their payroll, but once 2022 is over, they can get back to regular business.

2) Duke poached a couple of transfers this week, from Harvard and Northwestern, both coached by Duke alums. That should make alumni gatherings a little more fun.

1) From 1986-2002, Dell Curry played in the NBA, scoring 12,670 points for five teams, mostly the Charlotte Hornets; he is now a TV analyst for the Hornets.

Dell Curry went to college at Virginia Tech; he scored 19 ppg in four years with the Hokies. Curry has two sons who were very good high school players, but Virginia Tech didn?t recruit either one of them. This was a mistake. Really big mistake.

Seth Curry is in his 9th NBA season; he started his college career at Liberty, was also poached by Duke, where he played for three years, scoring 17.5 ppg as a senior.

Steph Curry is one of the greatest shooters ever, if not the best. He played three years in college at Davidson, scoring 28.6 ppg in his last year there. His exploits in the NBA are well known.

Seth Greenberg was Virginia Tech?s coach back then; this helps explain why he is a TV analyst now.
