Friday’s 6-pack:
NFL teams to start a season 7-1, then miss the playoffs:
— 2025 Colts
— 2012 Bears
— 1996 Redskins
— 1988 Saints
— 1987 Chargers
— 1975 Dolphins

Quote of the Day
“…….You targeted him, you went and got him, and now it’s all on you to make sure it works around him. I think this is a no-brainer hire for both sides. If I were John Harbaugh, that’s the job I would want. If I were the New York Giants, John Harbaugh’s the guy I would want.”
Pete Prisco

Friday’s quiz
Which NFL team played the fewest amount of games outdoors (4) this season?

Thursday’s quiz
Baseball Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn is the all-time leader in assists for San Diego State’s basketball team.

Wednesday’s quiz
When the NFL/AFL merged after the 1969 season, three teams jumped from the NFL to join the AFC: Browns, Colts, Steelers.

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

Friday’s Den: Random stuff on a cold winter night…….​

— Dodgers have apparently signed free agent OF Kyle Tucker, who has hit 134 home runs the last five years. He was hampered by a hand injury last year, batting .218 in July, .244 in August after hitting .280 with 17 homers before the All-Star break.

— When I was a kid, one of my favorite TV shows was The Rockford Files, starring the great actor James Garner. It was about a private detective
who lived in a trailer on a beach outside Los Angeles. He drove a gold Pontiac Firebird, the show is still on TV, I think on Peacock, but it ran from 1974-80, my high school/college years.

NBC is re-booting the series, but James Garner as Rockford is going to be a tough act to follow, harder than Tom Selleck as Magnum PI, and that hasn’t gone well. Curious to see who they cast as Rockford.

— ACC is adding a conference game to each team’s schedule next year, so teams have to pare down their non-conference schedules. Virginia Tech is paying James Madison $800,000 not to play them next fall.

— The minimum salary in major league baseball this season: $780,000.

— Back in the day, when Al Davis owned the Oakland Raiders, he would interview some coaches he had no intention of hiring; he just wanted to pick their brain.

This week, Raiders interviewed 30-year old Davis Webb, who is the passing game coordinator for the Raiders’ division rival Denver Broncos. Hmmm……

— Famous birthdays, January 16th
Dave Stapleton, 72
Gerald Henderson, 70
Steve Balboni, 69
Mark Collins, 62
Jack McDowell, 60
Don MacLean, 56
Joe Horn, 54
Jack Cust, 47
Albert Pujols, 46
Joe Flacco, 41
Mark Trumbo, 40
Brendan Donovan, 29

— Rules changes for the college basketball transfer portal; players will not be able to enter the portal until the day after the NCAA Tournament, and the portal will be open for only 15 days.

This is a drastic switch (and improvement) from 2024, when the portal was open for 45 days and the process began the day after Selection Sunday.
— North Carolina’s basketball roster is earning a total of $14M this season; they’re 14-3 so far, 2-2 in the ACC, giving up 97-95 points in road losses to SMU, Stanford.

— Gonzaga F Braden Huff is out 4-8 weeks with a left knee injury; massive loss for the Zags. Huff is averaging 17.8 points and 5.6 rebounds/game.

— Virginia Tech is 2-3 in ACC games, with losses by 1-1-3 points; their last six games were all decided by 3 or fewer points. This season, Hokies are 4-0 in overtime games.

— Movie of the Day: Let It Ride (1989)- A cab driver gets a hot tip on a race horse and wins big, but he can’t stop gambling. If you enjoy going to the racetrack, chances are you’ll like this movie.
Richard Dreyfuss is the cab driver, Terri Garr is his wife, Jennifer Tilly is one of the patron’s in the track’s clubhouse, David Johanssen is another cab driver, Robbie Coltrane is great as the teller who takes the gambler’s bets.
Funny movie.

Ark State led by 4 with 0:50 left in regulation.
Jaguars were 21-30 on foul line, Ark State 12-15.
