Missed a birthday yesterday; Joe Biden turned 84 years old.

— When he was in high school, Braves’ utility guy Kyle Farmer was an unnamed high school quarterback in the movie The Blind Side. Movie’s producers needed someone who could actually throw a football; Farmer played QB for his high school team. He spent 12 hours filming, learning the plays, and meeting Sandra Bullock, who gave him acting advice.

— Lions center Frank Ragnow retired, two years before his contract was up. He had signed a 4-year contract with Detroit, and now that he has retired, the Lions want some of the money back, something they had previously done with stars Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson.
Bad optics for sure, but apparently they’re getting $1.5M back from Ragnow.

— Underrated fact: In 2010 and 2011, Butler lost the national championship game two years in a row; they weren’t in the Big East back then, they were in the freakin’ Horizon League. Imagine a Horizon League team playing in the Final Four now???
Brad Stevens was Butler’s coach back then; he runs the Celtics now.

— Baseball season is a little more than a week old, and Miami’s Liam Hicks is leading MLB in RBI, with 12. Go figure.

— Cardinals/Rockies were the last two teams whose hitters challenged a ball/strike call.

— QB Kirk Cousins signed a contract with the Las Vegas Raiders for $20M which could turn into a lot more with incentives; Raiders are expected to draft Fernando Mendoza with the first pick in the draft later this month, but they’ve said they’re not crazy about starting a rookie QB right off the bat.

— Miami Dolphins have seven picks in the first three rounds of the draft, so they’ll be one of the most interesting teams to follow.

Quote of the Day
“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will;
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill.

It is when things go wrong that you must not quit.”
John Whittier
