Quote of the Day
“First lesson in business is: Don’t get emotional about stock, it clouds your judgment.”
Gordon Gekko, from Wall Street

Thursday’s quiz
Who led the NBA in scoring last season?

Wednesday’s quiz
NFL QB’s Patrick Mahomes/Jared Goff have fathers who played major league baseball.

Tuesday’s quiz
Before they moved to Texas in 1972, the Texas Rangers were the Washington Senators.

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

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

— Astros 3, Twins 2
Brantley, Abreu homered for Houston.
Astros’ bullpen got ten outs, didn’t allow a run.
Astros move on, will play Texas in the ALCS.

— Phillies 10, Braves 2
Harper hit two homers, knocked in four runs.
Castellanos hit two solo homers.
Phillies lead series, 2-1.

— Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 0
Arizona hit four solo home runs in the third inning.
They’re first team EVER to hit four HR’s in one inning of a playoff game.
In series, LA starters allowed 13 runs in 8.2 IP.

— With the new rules this year, notably the pitch clock, the need for 3-man broadcast booths isn’t there anymore. There is a lot less time in between pitches; you don’t need two analysts jockeying for time to get their thoughts in.
Maybe one answer is to have two analysts and no play-by-play guy, maybe that would work, as long as one of the analysts had enough experience to read all the promos they show during a typical game.

— Texas-El Paso 27, Florida International 13
Miners ran out to a 21-0 lead in first quarter.
UTEP averaged 16.8 yards/pass attempt.
FIU ran 34 times for only 91 yards; they were 2-11 on third down.

— New Mexico State 27, Sam Houston State 13
Aggies led 27-0 at halftime.
New Mexico State threw TD passes of 78, 12 yards.
Sam Houston is in its first season of I-A football; they’re now 0-6.

— Bruins 3, Blackhawks 1— Chicago was only NHL team to get a back/back on the first two nights of the season- they split the two games.

— Word of the Day: grifter— a person who swindles people out of money.

— Last week, Indianapolis Colts gave RB Jonathan Taylor a 3-year, $42M contract, with $26,5M guaranteed; he is now the 3rd-highest paid RB in the NFL, after Christian McCaffrey/Alvin Kamara.

— In five games, Detroit Lions have had 27 plays of 20+ yards; 19 of those 27 plays came on 1st and 10— are they just being more aggressive than other teams on first down?

— In their last three games, New England Patriots have had 38 series; they’ve gotten inside their opponent’s 20-yard line on one of those 38 drives, and kicked a FG on that one. Last two games, New England went 3/out on 13 of 25 drives.

— In five games, Cincinnati Bengals have only six plays of 20+ yards; their opponents have 20.

— Last three games, Green Bay Packers were outscored 54-6 in the first half.

— Oklahoma WR Andrel Anthony hurt his knee, is out for the year; Anthony has 27 catches for 429 yards and a touchdown, after transferring to the Sooners, from Michigan.

— Former NFL QB Brock Osweiler is a college football game analyst on ESPN now; he’s pretty good. Osweiler works with Dave Flemming, one of the best play/play guys, so that helps, but he had the Arizona-USC game late Saturday night and he was interesting to listen to.
Lot of times, analysts get overly excited and rattle on endlessly during close games, but Osweiler was explaining stuff while giving his partner space to call the game.

 

[Udog]

COLUMBUS are 93-65 Over (21.5 Units) in all games in the last 3 seasons.

BUFFALO is 48-29 Over (16.1 Units) in home games in all games in the last 3 seasons.

ST LOUIS are 96-97 ATS (-10.7 Units) on the road when the total is >=6 since 1996.

Quote of the Day
“There’s a lot of great things happening here. We will own the things that need to get better. People need to make sure they’re seeing the other side of it as well. That’s what we have been trying to say for a long time. … we are venting a little bit of frustration with that to be completely honest. I like the job we are doing there. I think we are set up to play really well in the second half of the season.”
USC coach Lincoln Riley

NFL QB’s Patrick Mahomes/Jared Goff have fathers who played major league baseball.

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

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

— Four years ago this week, the retina in my right eye detached while I was in Las Vegas; not good. 10 days later, Dr Mallick fixed my eye here in Albany, and for that I thank him.
Four years and two more procedures later, my eye is just fine, thanks to Dr Lemanski, who did two cataract procedures on that eye.
Just wanted to thank those two great doctors for fixing my eye; it is appreciated.

— Chiefs 19, Broncos 8
Chiefs have now won their last 16 games against Denver.
Chiefs won last five games overall, by 8-31-3-7-11 points (4-1 ATS).
Chiefs have outscored opponents 101-28 in first half.
Butker’s 52-yard FG with 2:00 left covered the spread.
Broncos are 1-5 SU/0-6 ATS this season.
Chiefs outgained Denver, 389-197
In their only win this year, Denver trailed 28-7 late in third quarter.
Denver is 7-14-1 ATS in last 22 AFC West road games.

— Houston 41, West Virginia 39
Houston led 35-24 with 4:00 left in game.
West Virginia threw a 50-yard TD pass with 0:12 left to go up 39-35.
Houston connected on a 49-yard Hail Mary on the last play for the win.
WVU was 13-19 on third down, Houston was 3-9.

— SMU 31, East Carolina 10
SMU led 14-0 after the first quarter.
Mustangs broke game open with 34-yard pick-6 in 4th quarter.
ECU completed only 18-39 passes, averaged 4.9 yards/attempt.

— Phillies 3, Braves 1
Nick Castellanos is first player ever with multiple HR’s in consecutive playoff games.
Ranger Suarez allowed three baserunners in 5 IP.
Five Philly relievers got the last 12 outs.
Phillies-Diamondbacks is an unlikely NLCS.

— Last week we shredded Miami coach Mario Cristobal for not having his team take a knee in the last minute, with his team safely ahead and Georgia Tech out of timeouts. Miami fumbled and Tech won the game, which was coaching malpractice, but we found another example of this, maybe a worse one.
September 11, 1999, UNLV is at Baylor; same situation, Baylor is safely ahead, they have the ball on UNLV’s 10-yard line or so, Rebels are out of timeouts, but Baylor runs a play, trying to score another TD, but the kid fumbles and a UNLV defensive back runs the ball back for a TD that won the game, and extended Baylor’s losing streak to seven games.
The reason I bring this up is that Baylor’s coach that night was Kevin Steele, who is now the defensive coordinator at Alabama. This was Steele’s first home game coaching Baylor, and it wound up being a disaster— he went 9-36 with the Bears, 1-31 in Big 12 games.

— Only one college basketball team has been in the Elite 8 the last two NCAA Tournaments; the Miami Hurricanes.

— Word of the Day: Alliance— An alliance is a relationship among people, groups, or states that have joined together for mutual benefit or to achieve some common purpose.

— Kansas Jayhawks are 3-point favorites at Oklahoma State Saturday; it is only the second time in the last 11 seasons that Kansas is a road favorite. Earlier this year, Jayhawks were favored at Nevada; they won 31-24, but didn’t cover the 28-point spread.

— With the Orioles getting swept by Texas, AL East teams went 0-7 in the playoffs this year.

— Dallas Mavericks played couple of exhibitions in Abu Dhabi, then played a game in Spain on the way home— they have only one exhibition game in this country, next week against Detroit.
Not sure how all that travel gets you ready for the regular season, but Mark Cuban is way smarter than I am, so we’ll see how it goes. Dallas opens the season October 25, against the San Antonio Spurs.

— Was surprised to see that Saint Mary’s is the coaches’ choice to win the WCC basketball title this winter, with perennial champ Gonzaga the #2 pick. Don’t think that clipping won’t wind up on a bulletin board in Spokane.

— There is a pro basketball team from Israel, Maccabi Ra’Anana, that is playing three games against NBA teams in the coming week; they lost 135-103 to the Brooklyn Nets Thursday night.
Imagine what the security must be like at those games, given the events of the past week? We just hope things go smoothly and that everyone gets home safely.

— NBA All-Star Game is in Indiana this year; they should honor the old ABA and play the game with a red, white and blue basketball, the one they used in the ABA, where the Pacers played.
NBA absorbed four ABA teams into the league in 1976; Pacers, Nets, Spurs, Nuggets. The ABA was an outstanding league, lot of fun to watch. Would be great if the NBA acknowledged that.
