Quote of the Day
?Why didn?t we block that guy??
New Jersey Generals coach Mike Riley, miked during Saturday?s USFL game

Monday?s quiz
Burgess Meredith played Rocky Balboa?s manager in the first couple Rocky movies; what villain was he in the 60?s TV series Batman?

Sunday?s quiz
Sally Field was the star of the 60?s TV comedy, The Flying Nun. She is currently on HBO?s Winning Time, playing Dr Jerry Buss? mom.

Saturday?s quiz
Cooper Kupp played his college football at I-AA Eastern Washington.

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

Monday?s Den: Thoughts on the USFL and other stuff??

Some thoughts on Week 1 of the USFL:

? The whole league is in Birmingham, which gives it a bush league kind of vibe. They need to let people in the stands for free, when the hometown Stallions aren?t playing. Looks like tickets only cost $10 and kids may get in for free. League needs people in the stands.

? The 1980?s USFL had top-flight talent; Jim Kelly, Reggie White, Steve Young and so on. This is different, it is like AAA football, but it is good football.

? Lightning delay around noon Sunday set the whole day back, since all three games were in the same ballpark.

? Quality of play has been good; they have good coaches. Mike Riley, Jeff Fisher, Todd Haley have all been head coaches in the NFL.

? Mike Pereira gives the league great credibility running the officiating end of things.

? First down measurements are done virtually, like tennis replays. No chain gangs in the USFL.

? Saturday night, TV analyst Brock Huard sat with the Generals? QB on the bench while he watched clips of his last series on a tablet. Access like that teaches you stuff.

? Teams need to carry three QB?s; Birmingham?s QB McGough got hurt Saturday night. What happens if the #2 QB gets hurt too?

? Having coaches/refs miked is a positive; can learn some football that way.

? Former Cowboys coach Jason Garrett was a disappointment in the booth; he didn?t say much.

Stallions 28, Generals 24:
? New Jersey?s kicker looked bad, missing two FG?s.
? Generals outgained Birmingham, 408-277.
? New Jersey ran ball for 222 yards.
? Birmingham scored game-winning TD with 0:29 left.

Gamblers 17, Panthers 12:
? Panthers? Hail Mary pass was caught on last play, but WR only got one foot down inbounds.
? Houston scored a TD on a 90-yard scoop/score off a QB sack/fumble.
? Gamblers won despite getting shut out in second half; they led 17-0 at the half.
? Michigan ran 79 plays for 363 yards; Houston 45 plays for 174 yards.

Breakers 23, Stars 17:
? Breakers scored their first TD on a pick-6, then blocked a punt for a safety.
? New Orleans outgained the Stars, 321-246
? Bryan Scott is the Stars? QB; he went to Occidental College, hardly a football power.
? Remember Jim Mora Sr the coach? His bridge to the NFL was coaching the Philadelphia Stars in the original USFL. Jim Mora Sr also went to college at Occidental.

Tampa Bay-Pittsburgh game was pushed back to Monday night because of the weather delays; seems like having a game on national TV every Monday would be a good idea, anyway.

Elsewhere in this world of ours???

? If I?m the Arizona Diamondbacks? hitting coach, I?m not sleeping too well; Arizona has scored 21 runs in nine games, somehow going 3-6 in those games.

? Then again, the big money Bronx Bombers have only scored 21 runs their last eight games; getting shut down by the Orioles in Baltimore this weekend is a red flag.

? Houston Astros utility guy Aledmys Diaz has already started games at six different positions.

? Animated cartoon star Daffy Duck turned 85 years old this week.

? QB JT Daniels started his college career at USC, then he transferred to Georgia, now he?s moved on to West Virginia. He was the Dawgs? backup last year when they won the national title. Curious to see how he does in Morgantown.

? Of the Miami Heat?s top 10 players in minutes played, only five of them were drafted, making them unique in NBA history. No team with that many undrafted players in their rotation has done as well as the Heat.

? Going forward, C JT Realmuto is expected to bat leadoff for the Phillies, which is unusual; don?t see lot of catchers leading off. Jason Kendall holds the single-season record for catchers, batting leadoff in 119 games in 2004.

? In his career, Anthony Rizzo has been hit by 182 pitches, which seems like a lot. Next-highest total among active players is Starling Marte (135). Hughie Jennings holds the all-time record (287); he played back around the turn of the 20th century.

Quote of the Day
?But one thing I learned, you never burn your bridges down. You handle situations as a man, as a grown-up.?
Malcolm Butler

Tuesday?s quiz
In the movie Friday Night Lights, what famous actor played the football coach at Permian High School?

Monday?s quiz
Burgess Meredith played Rocky Balboa?s manager in the first couple Rocky movies; he was the Penguin in the 60?s TV series Batman.

Sunday?s quiz
Sally Field was the star of the 60?s TV comedy, The Flying Nun. She is currently on HBO?s Winning Time, playing Dr Jerry Buss? mom.

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

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

13) From the sound of things, 2022 will be the last year that DirecTV has the NFL Sunday Ticket, which means that this will probably be the last year I have DirecTV. Apple or Amazon are the favorites to land the Sunday Ticket in 2023.

If any of you have any insights on the best way to go forward as far as watching TV goes, I?d appreciate hearing from you. Seem to be lot more options than there used to be.

12) Tampa Bay 17, Pittsburgh 3:
? Total yards: Tampa Bay 244, Pittsburgh 186
? Maulers were in red zone three times, scored 3 points. No bueno.
? Pittsburgh completed two passes in the first half; their offense needs lot of work.

11) If you remember the movie Invincible, Mark Wahlberg played Vince Papale, a 30-year old bartender who tried out (and made the squad) for the Eagles in 1976. True story, good movie; now Papale?s son is a WR for the Tampa Bay Bandits; he caught three passes for 23 yards in Monday?s game.

10) Guy who kicked for the Birmingham Stallions Saturday, it was the first football game he ever played in. He played soccer all thru college, but now he is a pro football player.

9) 76ers 112, Raptors 97:
? Philly was up 15 at halftime.
? Embiid had 31 points, 11 rebounds.
? Philly leads series, 2-0

8) Mavericks 110, Jazz 104:
? Brunson scored 41 points, win without injured Doncic.
? Utah?s four subs were a combined +35.
? series is tied at a game apiece.

7) Warriors 126, Nuggets 106:
? Warriors outscored Denver 44-30 in third quarter.
? Curry scored 34 points in 23:00; Poole added 29.
? Golden State leads this series, 2-0.

6) Guard Keeshawn Bathelemy played ball at Colorado the last two years; he started 28 of the Buffs? 33 games this season, but he transferred to Pac-12 rival Oregon this week.

Not too often kids transfer within a conference; Bathelemy is from Montreal, scored 8.6 ppg this past season.

5) Miami Heat G Duncan Robinson is in his 4th NBA season; he is a career 40.6% shooter on the arc; if you?re GREAT at something, you can play in the NBA and Robinson is a great shooter.

This is a young man who went to a prep school in New Hampshire, then played D-III basketball for a year at Williams College, before transferring to Michigan with a full scholarship, which rarely happens. Not many D-III basketball players make it to the NBA.

4) Celtics? G Marcus Smart won NBA?s Defensive Player of the Year award, first guard to do that since Gary Payton in 1996.

3) First three starts for San Diego?s Yu Darvish:
April 7? Six perfect innings at Arizona (92 PT)
April 12? gave up 9 runs in 1.2 IP (57 PT) at San Francisco
April 17? gave up one run in 6.2 IP (96 PT) to Atlanta.
Handicapping ain?t easy.

2) Dodgers? OF Mookie Betts is also a really good bowler; apparently he owns 40 bowling balls, and he switches back and forth, depending upon lane conditions.

1) Thru their first nine games, Diamondbacks have 42 hits, drawn 46 walks; it is the furthest any team has ever gone into a season, with more walks than hits.

Armadillo Sports

Wednesday?s 6-pack
Fewest runs scored in major leagues:
22? Arizona (3-8)
23? Baltimore (3-8)
29? Kansas City (4-5)
30? Detroit (4-6)
34? Bronx (6-5)
37? Cincinnati (2-10)

Quote of the Day
?One of the things I?ve been working on is being better talking to you people. So, announcing the starting quarterback here, I just put my foot in my mouth. That wasn?t something I should have said.?
Carolina Panthers? OC Ben McAdoo

Wednesday?s quiz
Where did Jerry West play his college basketball?

Tuesday?s quiz
In the movie Friday Night Lights, Billy Bob Thornton was the football coach at Permian High School.

Monday?s quiz
Burgess Meredith played Rocky Balboa?s manager in the first couple Rocky movies; he was the Penguin in the 60?s TV series Batman.

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

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

13) If you?ve seen HBO?s series Winning Time, about the Magic Johnson-era Lakers, you know this first item was inevitable.

This week, Jerry West?s legal team sent a letter to HBO/Winning Time series producer Adam McKay, demanding a retraction and an apology for what West called ?a baseless and malicious assault? on his character.

The letter includes statements from several people who worked/played for the Lakers during that time, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

12) If West is upset with his portrayal, wonder what Paul Westhead thinks of his? The hatchet job this show is doing on Westhead isn?t good.

I wasn?t there, have no idea what the truth is, but last week?s show had the Lakers losing couple of games at Indiana/Detroit after Westhead became the Lakers? interim coach, when in fact, the Lakers won both of those games. That much we do know.

In 2+ years coaching the Lakers, Westhead went 111-50, won an NBA title, then had great success later on in college ball at Loyola Marymount. This HBO program infers that Westhead wasn?t qualified to be a head coach, which is untrue.

11) Tuesday was April 19; woke up to a dusting of snow on the ground. Bleepin? awesome. I shouldn?t complain too much; two hours southwest of here, they got a foot of snow.

Temperatures got into the 40?s during the day here, so most of the snow didn?t last too long, but enough already with winter.

10) Ben McAdoo is the new offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers; he answered ?yes? when asked if Sam Darnold was Carolina?s #1 QB. Then, he took that statement back.

Baker Mayfield is still in QB limbo; Carolina WR Robby Anderson made it clear recently that he doesn?t want Mayfield to be a Panther, but someone in Charlotte is interested in acquiring Mayfield.

Coach Matt Rhule is on the hotseat in Carolina; if the Panthers draft a QB, they?ll play him, the team will inevitably lose, and Rhule will get fired. Happens all the time. Rookie QB?s get coaches fired. Ask Matt Nagy, Jeff Fisher??.its a pretty long list.

9) There was a trade in baseball Tuesday, albeit an unusual one:
? Mets OF Starling Marte will now wear uniform #6.
? In exchange, Mets IF Jeff McNeil gets a Rolex watch; he will now wear uniform #1.

8) It is well-known that when he was in 10th grade, Michael Jordan played on his school?s JV basketball team. Not so well known; a 10th grader named Leroy Smith made the varsity that year. Apparently this annoyed Jordan; years later, he invited Smith to Springfield when Jordan was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Leroy Smith wound up playing college ball at NC-Charlotte, which had been in the Final Four when Smith/Jordan were in high school (Cedric Maxwell played there). Smith wound up playing pro ball overseas for six years.

After his playing days, Smith worked for ASICS AMERICA before establishing himself in media, entertainment and the tech space. He is currently the co-founder/President of a tech start-up and the President of a Hollywood film company. So he?s done pretty well for himself, too.

7) Colorado Rockies gave P Kyle Freeland a 5-year, $64.5M extension; Freeland is from the Denver area, so he must like pitching close to home. Why else would a decent pitcher want to keep pitching in high altitude?

6) New York 4, Detroit 2:
? Gerrit Cole lasted 1.2 IP, throwing 68 pitches (only 37 strikes), shortest start of his career.
? In three starts this season, Cole has given up 8 runs in 12.1 IP. Part of his job is to take the strain off the bullpen, but that hasn?t happened yet.
? New York?s bullpen threw 7.1 scoreless innings.
? Two starting pitchers tossed a combined 2.2 innings, throwing 110 pitches.

6) A?s 2, Orioles 1:
? A?s are 7-5; Mark Kotsay is early leader for Manager of the Century.
? Attendance was 3,748; they had 17,000+ for the home opener Monday.

5) Arizona 1-0, Washington 6-1:
? Diamondbacks scored one run in 18 innings. Yikes.
? Arizona?s team batting average is .156.

4) Seattle 6, Texas 2:
? Rangers are paying Semien/Seager a combined $57M and they?re 2-8; Seager makes more money than the entire Oakland roster. Baltimore too.
? Jesse Winker hit a couple of fly balls that were caught on warning track; they both would?ve been home runs in Cincinnati.

3) Braves 3, Dodgers 1:
? Max Fried threw seven shutout innings for the World Champs.
? Kenley Jansen got the save against his old team.

2) Red Sox 2, Blue Jays 1? Toronto is 13-28 in its last 41 games in Fenway Park.

1) This happened only 11 years ago; seems like a lot longer.

I was in a work meeting; can?t remember what it was for, but I was the lowest-ranking person in the room. There were couple of big shots in there. My job was keeping spreadsheets on how long it took to process criminal fingerprints; my job for that meeting was to shut the hell up, unless someone asked about spreadsheets.

We got thru about 45 minutes and I haven?t said a freakin? word. A lady big shot was called out of the meeting for something else, which held the meeting up for a decent amount of time.

During the lull, one of the big shots started a rant about how Bert Blyleven had been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. He didn?t like Blyleven; suddenly I heard myself talking.

I went on a 90-second rant about how Blyleven struck out over 3,500 batters (3,701 actually), helped two small market teams win a World Series, and most definitely was a Hall of Famer.

The big shot looked at me like ?Who the hell are you?? He actually had no idea who I was, which is fair, because I had no real stature in the building, unless spreadsheet nerd was a status.

I do remember his assistant giving me a small smile, don?t think he liked his boss much. Then the lady came back into the meeting, which resumed and I shut up, never to be heard from again.
