Quote of the Day

Thursday’s quiz
When the Astros won the World Series in 2017, who was their manager?

Wednesday’s quiz
In the old TV show Magnum PI, Higgins’ two dogs were Zeus and Apollo.

Tuesday’s quiz
Daryle Lamonica played QB for the Raiders, the first time they were in the Super Bowl (SB II)

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

Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud…….

— When you draft a QB in the first round, when does he make his debut? Steelers have already put Kenny Pickett in; this looks like a lost year for them, so might as well get the kid experience now, but Tennessee Titans are contenders— when do they put Malik Willis on the stage?

There is no template for how this works; three rookie QB’s played in Week 1 last year, Joe Burrow was the only one in 2020. Green Bay drafted Jordan Love in 2020 and he may never start for them, with Aaron Rodgers still there.

Three first round QB’s in 2016 have had varying degree of success; Jared Goff didn’t play until Game 10— he had pretty good success under Sean McVay, almost no success with Jeff Fisher and Dan Campbell.

Carson Wentz did well early with the Eagles- -he got hurt late in the season where they won the Super Bowl, but now he is on his third team in three years. Denver drafted Paxton Lynch; he played in the USFL last spring, and wasn’t even a full-time starter there.

It is part of what makes the scouting/draft part of the NFL so interesting. No one knows for sure what the recipe is for developing a great QB.

— Most interesting story line in NFL this week might be Ravens-Giants, with Giants’ DC Wink Martindale coaching against a team he worked for the last ten seasons, during which time they went 93-69, winning one Super Bowl, contending to get into couple of others.

When a coach who has been somewhere for 10 years “mutually parts ways” with his employer, you figure he wanted something the team didn’t want to give him (a contract extension?), so this week’s game has to have a little extra meaning to him.

— Washington Commanders coach Ron Rivera spoke the truth Monday, when asked why his team was lagging behind their division rivals— “Quarterback” was his honest reply.

So of course, Rivera apologized Tuesday, because God forbid someone get their feelings hurt. Washington plays in Chicago tonight; did Rivera light a fire under his team, or will things fall apart, which would eventually cost Rivera his job?

— Braves 3, Phillies 0
Game was scoreless thru five innings.
Kyle Wright got 18 outs on 83 pitches.
Teams combined for only seven hits.
Series heads to Philly, tied 1-1.

— Padres 5, Dodgers 3
Game was 3-3 after three innings.
Machado, Cronenworth both homered.
San Diego bullpen threw four shutout innings.
Series heads to San Diego, tied 1-1.

— Louisiana 23, Marshall 13:
Marshall led 7-3 at halftime.
Ragin’ Cajuns kicked FG’s of 33-42-52 yards.
Marshall was only 1-11 on third down.
Total yardage: 338-276, ULL

— Home teams went 24-13 in the baseball playoffs last year; so far this year, home teams are 7-8 in playoff games.

— Over last decade, Arkansas Razorbacks are 0-4-1 ATS as a road favorite; they’re a small road favorite at BYU this week.

— Was looking at a mock draft for the 2023 NBA Draft; only one of the first five picks is a kid who will play in college this year. Only one of the top 30 picks is a kid who played college ball last season.

I’m thinking that pretty soon, kids will be able to go directly from high school to the NBA, like they could 20 years ago, and that will help college ball. Having players in college for only one year does nothing for the college game; having kids play at the same school for 2-3 years is a much better option, even if some of the most talented players bypass college altogether.

— When I was a lot younger, Jack Warden was my favorite actor; I used to joke with a friend of mine that Jack Warden was in every movie ever made. In fact, he has 164 acting credits, last of which was The Replacements in 2000.

My four favorite Jack Warden movies:
Heaven Can Wait
The Verdict
Bulworth
Brian’s Song

— When you get a product delivered by Amazon, they take a picture of where they left it, and they e-mail it to you. I mean, they leave the stuff on my stoop, kind of hard to miss it, but it is still kind of cool. Their products are never late; excellent customer service.

— Weird NFL scheduling; 49ers play the Rams in LA on October 30, then don’t have another true road game until December 15.
October 30 @ Rams
November 6— bye week
November 13— vs Chargers
November 21— vs Arizona in Mexico City
November 27— vs New Orleans
December 4— vs Miami
December 11— vs Tampa Bay
December 15— Thursday night game in Seattle

— Must be fun to live in Los Angeles; always something legitimately fun going on. Tuesday, for example, they had Game 1 of the Padres-Dodgers series, and LA Kings opened their NHL season at the same time at Staples Center.

— Buffalo Bills are favored in Kansas City this week; Patrick Mahomes has never been a home underdog in one of his starts, Overall, Mahomes is 7-0-1 ATS as an underdog.

— Rookie QB Skylar Thompson will make his first NFL start when the Dolphins host Minnesota Sunday; Teddy Bridgewater is expected to be his backup. If Bridgewater is cleared to play, not sure why he can’t start, unless it is because he won’t practice much this week.

Friday’s 6-pack
Some interesting spreads for the NFL this week:
— 49ers (-5.5, 45.5) @ Atlanta
— Patriots @ Cleveland (-2.5, 43)
— Jets @ Green Bay (-7, 45)
— Jaguars @ Indianapolis (-2, 42)
— Vikings (-3.5, 45.5) @ Miami
— Ravens (-5.5, 45) @ NJ Giants

Alleged Quote of the Day
“All my problems will be solved if I can just get a marquee quarterback.”
Commanders’ owner Daniel Snyder allegedly said this before Washington traded for Carson Wentz

Friday’s quiz
Who was Washington’s QB the last time they won a playoff game?
Hint #1- This happened in 2005
Hint #2- The QB is now a QB coach in the NFL

Thursday’s quiz
When the Astros won the World Series in 2017, AJ Hinch was their manager.

Wednesday’s quiz
In the old TV show Magnum PI, Higgins’ two dogs were Zeus and Apollo.

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

Friday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here……..

Commanders 12, Bears 7:
— Bears had ball on 6-yard line in last minute, couldn’t score.
— Bears outgained Washington 392-214.
— Washington’s one TD came on a 6-yard drive after a muffed punt.
— Commanders scored total of 47 points in last four games.
— NFC East teams are 10-5 ATS in non-division games.

— Chicago had ball in red zone three times, scored zero points.
— Bears have been outscored 84-39 in first half this season.
— 2nd-year QB Fields is 4-12 as an NFL starter.
— Last 3+ years, Chicago is 10-17-1 ATS coming off a loss.

— Astros 4, Mariners 2
Alvarez hit an opposite field, 2-run homer in 6th inning to give Astros the lead for good.
Astros bullpen got 10 outs, allowed only one hit.
Series heads to Seattle, with Houston leading 2-0

— Prop betting is interesting; was watching this game with a buddy. In top of 8th inning, with game 3-2, my friend got 2-1 odds that another run would be scored the rest of the game. He won the bet when Seattle walked Yordan Alvarez intentionally in the bottom of the 8th, and Alex Bregman dunked a single to right field to score an insurance run for the Astros.

Man on first, two out and Alvarez at the plate; you walk him intentionally? With Bregman up next? I said it when it happened, Alvarez ain’t Barry Bonds; that’s the last time I saw something like that happen, when Arizona walked Bonds with the bases loaded in the 9th inning.

— Central Florida 70, Temple 13
This game was 14-13 with 6:00 left in first half.
UCF outgained Temple, 737-293- they converted 8-9 on third down.
Knights averaged 15.5 yards/pass attempt
Temple lost 70-13 and didn’t turn the ball over at all.

— West Virginia 43, Baylor 40
WVU kicked a 22-yard FG with 0:33 left for the win.
Baylor led 24-17 at halftime.
West Virginia was 7-13 on 3rd down, Baylor 4-11
Baylor threw for 491 yards, turned ball over three times (minus-2)

— Damn it poured here in Albany tonight; driving home from dinner, could hardly see. Been a long time since I’ve seen it rain that hard for an extended time.

— Cleveland-New York game was rained out Thursday, will be played at 1pm Friday; teams haven’t played since Tuesday.

— Austin Riley plays 3B for the Braves; he was a QB and an all-state punter in high school. His dad was a punter for Mississippi State back in the 80’s, and was in training camp with the Detroit Lions a couple times.

After Riley’s sophomore year in high school, his football coach told him he had to decide between the two sports; football team didn’t want him missing summer drills to play baseball, if he was going to be the quarterback. He chose baseball, but still punted for the football team.

Looks like he made the right decision.

— From 2018-21, when NFL games had a total of 49+ points, over hit 58.2% of the time, but so far this season, in games with a total of 49+ points, under is 9-3.

— New England Patriots lost five of their last six road games SU.

Patriots visit Cleveland Sunday; Browns’ three losses this season are by 1-3-2 points.

— Under is 5-0 in Indianapolis Colt games this season; both of the Colts’ wins are by 3 points. Last three games, Indianapolis outscored opponents 26-6 in the second half.

— Arizona Cardinals have been outscored 80-26 in first half this season; they’ve trailed all five games at halftime.

— Colorado State point guard Isaiah Stevens broke his foot, needed an operation and is out for the start of the season. Rams hope to get him back by the start of conference play.

— Penn State has a basketball player Michael Henn; Nittany Lions are the fifth team he’ll play for in seven college seasons:
2017— Cal-Davis
2019— Cal Baptist
2021— Portland
2022— Denver
2023— Penn State
Young man should write a book someday.

— 2018 NBA Draft, the first three picks:
Phoenix- Deandre Ayton
Sacramento- Marvin Bagley
Dallas- Luka Doncic

This is why some teams always lose; passing on Doncic was a huge blunder. Michael Jordan was the third pick in his draft, too.

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

Saturday’s Den: 13 of my favorite movie scenes…….

13) Jack Nicholson as Colonel Jessup on the witness stand in A Few Good Men– “You WANT me on that wall; you NEED me on that wall!!!” Great acting.

12) In Prince of Tides, when Nick Nolte’s character takes Barbra Streisand’s husband’s Stradivarius violin and dangles it over the edge of the balcony, until he apologizes to his wife for being rude. Then he tosses the million-dollar violin in the air but catches it, then walks out of the dinner party.

11) In Any Given Sunday, when QB Willie Beamen visits the coach’s house for dinner and a “talk” and coach Tony D’Amato lectures him— “You’re the goddamn quarterback!!!”

I think this scene is better than the “Game of Inches” speech that Pacino gives near the end of the movie, before the last game.

10) Rocky II wasn’t a good movie, but the last fight scene, where Rocky Balboa wins the heavyweight title for the first time, is a great fight scene, probably the best scene in all the Rocky movies.

9) In the movie Heat, there is a scene with Al Pacino (the cop) and Robert DeNiro (bank robber) where they actually talk in a diner about how someday, their situation will come to a head and either the arrest will be made, or harm will come to the cop. Deniro and Pacino; a great scene.

8) Susan Sarandon and James Spader were in a 1990 movie called White Palace; I only saw this movie for the first time in the last couple years.

There is a scene where a lot of people were at Thanksgiving dinner and they’re talking about politics; the patriarch of the family is Steven Hill (the original DA on Law and Order).

When a younger person says something Hill’s character sees as uninformed, he snaps at her, “Would it kill you to pick up a newspaper?” Good stuff.

7) In the true story Invincible, when 30-year old bartender Vince Papale breaks the news to his best friend that he made the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster, despite never having played college football.

6) In Friday Night Lights, when the coach (Billy Bob Thornton) delivers a halftime speech when his team is getting smoked. He talks about “being perfect” and how giving your all is the most important thing of all.

Of all the sports movies I’ve seen, I think Thornton’s character in this movie is the best portrayal of a coach that I’ve seen.

5) In the original Bad News Bears, when the coach is talking to his worst player, ordering him into the championship game- the kid is too nervous to go out and play.

“Listen, Lupus, you didn’t come into this life just to sit around on a dugout bench, did ya? Now get your ass out there and do the best you can.”

4) In Roxanne, Steve Martin’s character has a very long nose, like Cyrano de Bergerac; guy in a bar insults his long nose, the whole bar shuts down, and Martin mocks the insult.

“I suppose you could do better?” and Martin proceeds to give 20 jokes (actually 26) that were all funnier than the guy’s insult.

3) In Rounders, the scene where Mike (Matt Damon) finds his law professor (Martin Landau) in a restaurant and the professor tells him how his parents disowned him because he chose to study the law instead of becoming a rabbi.

2) Oakland A’s 20-game winning streak in Moneyball; at least they showed Miguel Tejada’s walk-off homer in the 18th straight win- they gave him almost no credit in the book/movie for how good the A’s were that year— he was the best shortstop in the game that year.

1) Bob Cousy shooting free throws in an empty gym with Nick Nolte in Blue Chips. Cousy was 65 at the time, made 10 in a row while wearing a shirt and tie- they filmed the scene in one take. He made the last foul shot left-handed.
