Quote of the Day
“There’s teachable moments in the building during the day, how you carry yourself as a quarterback. There’s teachable moments at press conferences. There’s teachable moments every snap on Sunday. When you’ve got two guys that have won as much as Nick (Foles) and seen as much as Andy (Dalton), and you don’t take that information in, because you’re a little standoffish and a little abrasive, you’re wasting that opportunity.”
Josh Lucas, Chicago Bears’ former director of player personnel, talking about Justin Fields
Tuesday’s quiz
In the 2021 NFL Draft, QB Trevor Lawrence was the first pick, by Jacksonville; the next two picks were also QB’s, who are still in the NFL. Who were they?

Sunday’s quiz
Knicks beat the Lakers in the NBA finals in both 1970 and 1973; Lakers had different coaches in those two playoff losses- Joe Mullaney, Bill Sharman.

— Detroit Lions gave QB Jared Goff a 4-year contract extension for $53M a year, with $170M of the $212M guaranteed. Goff is 26-24-1 as Detroit’s QB, but he won two playoff games LY, Lions’ first playoff wins since 1991.

Lot of games every day on two courts, plenty of NBA players/coaches around, even some team owners, and the tickets are reasonable. One ticket gets you in for the whole day.

He led the AL in stolen bases six times, had 649 career steals.
2,249 career hits, 1,181 runs scored.
Most importantly, he was the leadoff hitter/offensive catalyst for a team that won the World Series three years in a row.
