Thursday?s 6-pack
Teams who?ve played fastest tempo up to this point:
6) Eastern Washington
5) Central Arkansas
4) Alabama
3) Mississippi Valley State
2) Eastern Kentucky
1) Houston Baptist

Quote of the Day:
?I played football all my life, so I couldn?t just sit out there and watch my team play and my brothers be out there. So I just wanted to go to war with my brothers like I?ve been doing the whole season. I love playing football, so I just wanted to come out here and compete with my brothers.?
Alabama WR Jerry Jeudy

Thursday?s quiz
Which Hall of Fame QB coached the Dallas team in the climactic game in the 1999 movie Any Given Sunday?

Wednesday?s quiz
Al Pacino?s character coached the Miami Sharks in the great football movie, Any Given Sunday.

Tuesday?s quiz
Last team the Buffalo Bills beat in a playoff game was the Miami Dolphins, in 1995.

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

Thursday?s List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud??.

13) Oregon 28, Wisconsin 27:
? Badgers outgained Oregon, 322-204.
? Wisconsin converted 4-5 4th down plays, but turned ball over four times.

12) Alabama 35, Michigan 16? Crimson Tide averaged 13.1 yards/pass attempt with their backup QB playing.

11) Why would any NFL team draft Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa in the first round? He?s been hurt a lot; very doubtful he could withstand the physical demands of a 16 (or 17)-game NFL season. I?m guessing a dislocated hip will be very difficult to recover from, and still be the elite athlete he was before the injury.

2019? Dislocated hip, nasal fracture
2018? Sprained knee

He?s also sprained both ankles in the last year.

10) Minnesota 31, Auburn 24? Gophers? WR Tyler Johnson may have made the Catch of the Year on January 1, a 2-yard TD that put Minnesota up 31-24 at halftime. Johnson had 12 catches for 204 yards, two TD?s. He will play on Sundays, and play very well.

9) Arizona State 20, Florida State 14? Not often you win a game when your offense doesn?t score a TD; Sun Devils scored the winning TD on a pick-6 with 10:06 left in a game where the two teams combined to convert only 6-33 third down plays.

Florida State outgained ASU 470-282, but turned the ball over six times.

8) There is a sportswriter named Art Spander who has been to 67 consecutive Rose Bowls; now thats impressive. Pretty sure Mr Spander wrote for The Sporting News when I was a kid.

7) Here?s the deal with instant replay reviews:
? Look at the replay from a couple angles.
? Was the call on the field an obvious error?
? If it wasn?t an obvious error, the call stands. None of this 5-7 minute stuff. If you can?t find an error in two minutes, move the game along.

6) Washington Redskins hired Ron Rivera as head coach, Jack Del Rio as defensive coordinator, as they rebuild their organization.

5) Point guard James Akinjo transfers from Georgetown to Arizona; Akinjo averaged 13.4 ppg, 5.1 assists, and 1.3 steals per game in 40 career games (39 starts) at Georgetown, but was criticized for being not a good enough distributor of the ball.

4) There have been ten Big Sky conference basketball games so far; one game was a pick ?em, and underdogs covered the other nine.

3) ESPN runs ads for The Masters on New Year?s Eve, because there isn?t any golf on TV between now and April.

2) From Tom Crouch: Since 2003, there have been 575 drives over 400 yards on the PGA Tour; 319 of those have been at Kapalua, where the PGA Tour resumes today.

96 of those 319 drives have been on the 18th hole; 29 of those 96 were hit by Dustin Johnson.

1) RIP to former NBA commish David Stern, who passed away Wednesday at age 77.

Stern was an excellent businessman who made the NBA a much more profitable enterprise; he also totally screwed over the city of Seattle when they wouldn?t build a new arena, facilitating the Sonics? sale, and subsequent move to Oklahoma City.

But that was business, and Stern?s job was to make the NBA more profitable, which he was very, very good at.

Friday?s quiz
What comedian played the pitching coach in the famous baseball movie Bull Durham?
(Hint: He also hosted the Oscars in The Bodyguard)

Thursday?s quiz
Johnny Unitas coached the Dallas team in the climactic game in the 1999 movie Any Given Sunday.

Wednesday?s quiz
Al Pacino?s character coached the Miami Sharks in the great football movie, Any Given Sunday.


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


Friday?s List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here?..

13) Last year, 64% of college basketball teams made at least 33% of their 3-point shots; this season, with the arc moved back 16 inches, only 46% of teams are making at least 33% of their 3-pointers. Not sure why they moved the arc back, but it isn?t helping the game any.

By the way, if the gurus who run the sport want increased scoring, and we?re always told they do, then they should allow continuation calls that lead to more 3-point plays.

12) Dallas Cowboys are telling coach Jason Garrett to take a hike; Garrett was 85-67 in 10 years as the Cowboys? coach, 2-3 in playoff games.

11) If you remember the movie Moneyball, about the Oakland A?s front office, the character that Jonah Hill played is in real life a guy named Paul DePodesta, who these days is the chief strategy officer for the Cleveland Browns. DePodesta played college football at Harvard.

Cleveland will have its 7th coach in 11 years next season, now they?re going to choose that coach before they choose the next GM. It is fair to question if they know what they?re doing.

10) Reliever Will Harris bolts the Astros for Washington, getting a 3-year deal for $24M.

9) Tennessee 23, Indiana 22? Vols scored 14 points in 0:30 to take a 23-22 lead with 3:51 left, after not scoring a TD in the first 55:39 of the game. Tennessee finishes its season by winning its last six games.

8) NBA fined Sacramento Kings? C DeWayne Dedmon $50,000 for publicly saying that he would like to be traded; Dedmon signed a three-year, $40M contract with the Kings in July.

Players are prohibited from making public trade demands under the league?s collective bargaining agreement.

7) College basketball upsets:
? SIU-Edwardsville (+25) 79, Belmont 69
? UCLA (+10) 66, Washington 64
? Merrimack (+9.5) 65, Sacred Heart 57
? Brown (+8.5) 85, hole Island 75
? Maine (+7.5) 75, Columbia 72
? Wm & Mary (+6.5) 88, Hofstra 61
? Wagner (+6) 66, Mt St Mary 47

6) Chicago White Sox signed OF prospect Luis Robert to a six-year, $50M contract, even though the 22-year old Robert has never played in the big leagues; he played 56 AA games LY, 47 in AAA.

5) MLB announced that Bronx P Domingo German has been suspended 81 games for violating MLB?s Domestic Violence policy; the penalty is retroactive to LY. German will miss the first 63 games this coming season.

4) Cincinnati Reds signed Japanese OF Shogo Akiyama on a three-year deal worth more than $15M; Akiyama, 31, hit .303/.392/.471 with 31 doubles, four triples, 20 homers, 62 RBI, 112 runs and 12 stolen bases last year for the Seibu Lions.

3) UTEP basketball coach Rodney Terry is in critical condition at a Miami hospital after he experienced an allergic reaction to a pre-game meal before his team?s game at FIU Thursday; he was being held overnight at the hospital. Hopefully he?ll feel better soon.

2) Broncos, Cardinals, Lions, Jaguars and Steelers can all be compelled to be on HBO?s Hard Knocks next summer, but hard to believe it won?t be the Chargers, as they move into their new digs as a tenant in the Rams? new domed SoFi Stadium.

1) A buffalo needs to eat 60 pounds of grass per day, according to Bill Walton, working the Oregon-Colorado game in Boulder last night.

Friday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: 76ers at Rockets ? 8:05 PM EST

Both these teams own 23 wins, but one of these squads leads their division, while the other sits in third place of its division. Philadelphia (23-13 SU, 15-17-4 ATS) has dropped three straight games to fall behind Boston and Toronto in the Atlantic division, as the 76ers try to avoid a winless road swing. Following a pair of one-point defeats at Orlando and Miami, Philadelphia was rolled at Indiana on Tuesday afternoon, 115-97 as 3 ?-point underdogs, while playing without center Joel Embiid, who missed the game with a knee injury.

The Rockets (23-11 SU, 17-17 ATS) are the leaders of the Southwest division by one game over the Mavericks heading into Friday?s action. Houston bounced back from a 15-point setback at New Orleans to rout Denver on Tuesday, 130-104 as six-point home favorites. To be fair, the Rockets were without stars James Harden and Russell Westbrook in the Sunday defeat to the Pelicans, but the dynamic duo combined for 63 points against the Nuggets on 21-of-39 shooting from the floor.

Philadelphia has dominated at home with a scorching 16-2 record, but the 76ers have struggled away from Wells Fargo Center with a 7-11 mark. The Sixers have compiled an ugly 1-7 SU ledger in the role of a road underdog this season, while cashing only three times with the lone victory coming at Boston on December 12. Philadelphia has won only once in five road affairs against Western Conference opponents as the 76ers defeated the Blazers at the buzzer in early November.

The Rockets have posted a 7-1 ATS record in their last eight opportunities as a favorite of 6 ? points or less, while Houston seeks consecutive home covers for the first time since late November.

The 76ers and Rockets have not hooked up yet this season as the two heavyweights split a pair of matchups last season with the home team winning each time. Philadelphia last captured a victory at the Toyota Center in 2017 with a 115-107 triumph as seven-point underdogs.


Heat at Magic ? 7:05 PM EST

The battle of the Sunshine State takes place in Orlando as the Heat (25-9 SU, 20-12-2 ATS) slowed down the Raptors on Thursday night, 84-76 to cash as 5 ?-point favorites. Miami has posted five victories against Toronto, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee this season, while opening up a commanding 10-game advantage in the Southeast division. The Heat have taken care of business at home with an incredible 16-1 record, while putting together a respectable 9-8 mark away from south Florida.

The Magic (15-19 SU, 14-18-2 ATS) reside in second place of the Southeast as Orlando snapped a two-game skid in Wednesday?s 122-101 blowout of Washington as three-point road favorites. Orlando improved to 3-0 this season against Washington, as the Magic rebounded from a rough home loss as 10 ?-point favorites to the struggling Hawks on Monday. The Magic rattled off four consecutive victories to start December, but they lost their touch since by going 4-8 the last 12 games to slip below the .500 mark.

Miami has not fared well on the second end of a back-to-back set this season by going 2-4 SU and 1-3-2 ATS. The Heat have failed to cover in their last three opportunities as a road favorite, including getting upset by the Wizards on Monday as 11-point chalk, 123-105. Miami and Orlando are meeting for the first time this season as the Magic captured three of four meetings last season. The Magic have struggled as a home underdog this season by losing five of seven games in this role.


Pelicans at Lakers ? 10:35 PM EST

For the second time this season, Anthony Davis will face his former team as Los Angeles (27-7 SU, 18-16 ATS) continues a five-game homestand. The Lakers cruised past the Mavericks and Suns in the first two contests at Staples Center, while L.A. welcomes in three below .500 teams over the next five days with New Orleans, Detroit, and New York coming to town.

In Wednesday?s 117-107 victory over Phoenix, the final score was extremely misleading as the Lakers jumped out to a commanding 43-17 lead after one quarter and 33-point halftime edge. However, Phoenix outscored Los Angeles, 66-43 in the second half to grab the miracle cover as 11-point underdogs.

The last time the Lakers hooked up with the Pelicans on November 27 in New Orleans, Davis returned to the Big Easy to torch his old team for 41 points and help the Lakers rally from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit to shock the Pelicans, 114-110. New Orleans grabbed the cover as 6 ?-point underdogs, but the Pelicans dropped their third consecutive meeting with the Lakers.

The Pelicans (11-23 SU, 14-19-1 ATS) will be well-rested as they last took the court on Sunday evening in a 127-112 victory over the short-handed Rockets. New Orleans has come back to life following a 6-22 start to win five of its last six games, including four straight victories. The competition has not been too shabby, including road triumphs at Portland and Denver, while also blowing out Indiana at home.

New Orleans is listed as a double-digit underdog for the third time this season, as it cashed in a three-point loss at Houston as 12-point ?dogs in October, while getting rolled in their most recent trip to Staples Center by the Clippers in late November.

Saturday?s 6-pack
How the college football coaching carousel works:
? FAU?s football coach became the head coach at Ole Miss.
? The old Ole Miss coach became Georgia?s offensive line coach.
? Georgia?s old offensive line coach is the head coach at Arkansas.
? The old head coach at Arkansas is now Auburn?s OC.
? The old offensive coordinator at Auburn is now the OC at Florida State.
? The old head coach at Florida State is the new head coach at FAU.

Quote of the Day:
?The road to success is always under construction.?
Arnold Palmer

Saturday?s quiz
Which current NFL head coach has had eight surgeries on one of his eyes a few years ago, to correct a detached retina?

Friday?s quiz
Robert Wuhl played the pitching coach in the famous baseball movie Bull Durham.

Thursday?s quiz
Johnny Unitas coached the Dallas team in the climactic game in the 1999 movie Any Given Sunday.

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

Saturday?s List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind??.

13) Eye update: Went to eye surgeon Friday; the gas bubble in my eye has dissolved, my retina is back where it should be, which is good, but the eye won?t be back to normal until I have cataract surgery, which will probably be in late spring/early summer.

Trying to decide how all that impacts this site; I?ll take a few days, then make a decision, but it could mean pulling back a little on the daily analysis of games, which takes lot of time/energy, even moreso since late October.

This site itself ain?t going anywhere; the homepage could actually improve a lot if that was all I posted, and spent more time studying instead of posting trends. We?ll see.

12) By the way, you know you?re getting old(er) when you like the music they play in the waiting room at the doctor?s office.

11) Oscar Colas, one of the most talented players in the world not under contract with an MLB team, defected from Cuba and will look to sign with a big-league team. Colas is a 21-year old OF/1B who also pitches some; he played in Japan LY.

Colas must establish residency in a third country and be unblocked by the Office of Foreign Assets Control before MLB clears him to sign; that process could take months.

10) 47 of 50 voters picked Baltimore?s Lamar Jackson as the All-Pro QB; one of the three who didn?t vote for Jackson was Bill Polian, who said before he was drafted that Jackson should play WR and not quarterback.

I mean, do you watch the games? Jackson was awesome this year. Russell Wilson was really good, too, but Baltimore is the best team and Jackson is a huge reason why.

9) Five years later, surprising things about being retired:
? Daytime TV is incredibly bad.
? Thought I?d eat at McDonald?s more, but I almost never go there.
? Some people who retire are bored; to me, there aren?t enough hours in the day.
? Once a month or so, people ring my doorbell and try to sell me Verizon FIOS or an alternate way to watch TV, despite the satellite dish hanging on my roof, right near the driveway.

Underrated place to eat in Albany:
? Lynn?s on Colvin Avenue; Decent amount of TV?s, very good sandwiches.

8) If you play NFL playoff totals, check the weather for the Tennessee-New England game Saturday night; a mix of rain/snow is expected for the game.

7) UTEP basketball coach Rodney Terry was released from a Miami-area hospital on Friday, two days after being admitted due to anaphylactic shock; he is expected to return to the Miners? bench against Southern Miss Thursday night.

6) Lakers? star Anthony Davis was a point guard in high school, until he grew seven inches in one summer. That must be so weird, having to buy all new clothes so quickly.

5) Mississippi State fired football coach Joe Moorhead Friday, after only two years; he went 14-12 in Starkville, 7-9 in SEC games.

There was an incident this season where one of the Bulldogs? QB?s had the orbital bone in his eye broken when he was punched by a teammate after practice.

When a quarterback gets beaten up by a teammate, maybe the coach has lost control of things.

4) Former Maryland coach DJ Durkin was hired by Lane Kiffin as an assistant coach at Ole Miss; Durkin was fired as head coach by Maryland after a Terrapin player passed away from a heatstroke in June 2018, following an offseason workout.

3) Baseball stuff:
? Los Angeles Angels signed free agent C Jason Castro away from the Twins.
? 2B Starlin Castro signed with Washington.

2) Ohio U 30, Nevada 21? With 1:51 left, Nevada had 4th-and goal from inside the 10-yard line. Instead of kicking a FG to get within one score, they went for it and failed. Coaching malpractice.

Bobcats? coach Frank Solich is 75; have to admire a guy that age having so much energy. Solich got the boot at Nebraska despite a 58-19 record (think they?d take that now?), and is 112-81 at Ohio. Excellent career.

1) Wonder who the first person was who suggested that Boise State?s football field be blue? Imagine some of the looks he must?ve gotten at that meeting?

By the way, Eastern Washington has a red field, Eastern Michigan has a gray field
