Thursday?s 6-pack:
If the 2022 NFL Draft was today, the first round order would be??.
1) Jacksonville
2) Detroit
3) Houston
4) Jets
5) Giants
6) Giants

Quote of the Day
?Fortunately, there?s not a ton to do in Cincinnati,. Nobody is going out to clubs and bars and getting COVID every weekend. But we?ve been healthy.?
Bengals? QB Joe Burrow

Thursday?s quiz
Jim Irsay owns the Indianapolis Colts; way back in 1972, his father Robert Irsay traded another NFL franchise to acquire the then-Baltimore Colts. What team did he trade?

Wednesday?s quiz
Joe Gibbs was coach of the Washington Football Team (Redskins) last time they won a playoff game; Mark Brunell was the quarterback.

Tuesday?s quiz
Oklahoma City Thunder used to be the Seattle SuperSonics.

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

Thursday?s Den: Doing some thinking out loud??.

13) Texas A&M opted out of the Gator Bowl Wednesday; they?re down to 38 scholarship players for various reasons, so they bailed out on a game with a $5M payday.

Rumor has it that four teams have already contacted Wake Forest about the possibility of replacing the Aggies and playing Wake in the Gator Bowl- according to the rules they have for this stuff, Rutgers appears to be at the front of the line to play in the game.

12) Army 24, Missouri 22:
? Army kicked a 41-yard FG at 0:00 for the win.
? Mizzou led 16-7 at halftime.
? Tigers scored TD with 1:11 left to grab a 22-21 lead.
? Cadets were 6-9/95 passing; they finish the year 9-4.

11) So far this bowl season, underdogs are 7-5 ATS. Over is 9-3.

10) Wyoming scored 52 points in their bowl win and only threw 11 passes; they ran ball for 404 yards, beating a Kent State squad that ran ball for 319 yards, threw for 337 more. You gain 656 yards and lose by two TD?s, Kent State needs to recruit lot of defensive players.

9) Teams from Conference USA are 3-4 SU/4-3 ATS in bowl games this month; the thing is, they were the underdog in all seven games.

8) This is from Anthony Reinhard on Twitter:
There were 67 touchdowns in 16 NFL games last week; 4.2 TD?s/game is the 5th-lowest for any week since 2012.

7) Last three games, Chicago Bears are minus-9 in turnovers; starting a rookie QB is likely to cost coach Chuck Nagy his job. Nagy made the mistake of going 12-4 his first year with the Bears? it was all downhill from there (8-8, 8-8, now 4-10).

The trick is go to 4-10 your first year, and save that 12-4 season for when your contract is up for re-negotiation. If only it was that simple.

6) Genius alert: A 24-year old guy from New Jersey has admitted to impersonating a New England Patriots player in order to get ?family and friends? Super Bowl rings.

The genius sold three rings with Tom Brady?s last name on them after he impersonated a different Patriots player in order to buy them. He pled guilty to one count of mail fraud, three counts of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft in connection with the scheme.

Oy.

5) If you?re voting for the Baseball Hall of Fame, how do you not vote for Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens or Barry Bonds?

4) Oakland A?s named Mark Kotsay their new manager; A?s had an excellent manager, but they let Bob Melvin bolt to San Diego, probably because they?re headed for a downturn and they?ll save a few bucks having a rookie manager instead of a really good one.

3) Major league baseball salaries went down 4% last year; I?m sure that?ll go over well during the negotiations for the new labor agreement. The elite players are still breaking the bank, but guys in the middle tier of rosters aren?t making as much these days.

No one is starving for sure, but these are competitive people and competitive people don?t like to lose at anything.

2) Preseason Player of the Year in the SEC? Scottie Pippen Jr, who plays for Jerry Stackhouse at Vanderbilt.

1) Tennessee 77, Arizona 73? This score will carry some weight on Selection Sunday; Vols jumped out to a 26-11 lead, Arizona tied the game twice in the second half, but the Vols hand Arizona its first loss. Credit to the Wildcats for going to Knoxville for this game, not playing on a neutral court.

Friday?s 6-pack:
How last six teams did last the game after playing the Denver Broncos:
? Washington W29-19 (team total 20.5)
? Dallas W43-3 (31.5)
? Philadelphia W40-29 (22.5)
? LA Chargers W41-22 (23.5)
? Kansas City W48-9 (28.5)
? Detroit W30-12 (17.5)

All six teams won/covered, went over their point total.
Denver played the Bengals last week.

Quote of the Day
?More smiling, less worrying.
More compassion, less judgment.
More blessed, less stressed.
More love, less hate.?
Roy T. Bennett

Friday?s quiz
In the movie The Bodyguard, what comic actor hosted the Oscars?
Hint: He also appeared in Bull Durham and Blue Chips

Thursday?s quiz
Jim Irsay owns the Indianapolis Colts; way back in 1972, his father Robert Irsay traded the Rams to Carroll Rosenbloom in exchange for the Colts.

Wednesday?s quiz
Joe Gibbs was coach of the Washington Football Team (Redskins) last time they won a playoff game; Mark Brunell was the quarterback.

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

Friday?s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind??.

13) Hawai?i has opted out of its own bowl game, due to COVID/other stuff, and Memphis is obviously already there- Friday night?s Hawai?i Bowl is off. Too bad. Apparently 30 people in the Hawai?i program tested positive for COVID- they also lost some transfers.

Lost opportunity for both teams; there are no sports on TV Friday night, none, so three hours of Memphis-Houston exposure would?ve had to help both teams? recruiting efforts.

12) Titans 20, 49ers 17:
? San Francisco led game 10-0 at halftime.
? 49ers drove 95 yards to tie game 17-17 with 2:20 left.
? Titans kicked 41-yard FG at 0:00 for the win.
? 49ers are 2-6 SU when they score fewer than 30 points.

? Titans? WR Brown caught 11 passes for 145 yards and a TD.
? 49ers outgained Tennessee, 389-278.
? Titans were 9-16 on third down, San Francisco 3-8.
? Tennessee is 18-10 ATS last 28 games as an underdog.

11) A reminder that Titans? QB Ryan Tannehill was a WR his first two years at Texas A&M, but was moved to QB by Aggies coach Mike Sherman, whose son-in-law is Zac Taylor, who now coaches the Cincinnati Bengals.

My lasting memory of Tannehill will always be HBO?s Hard Knocks, when Tannehill was a rookie in Miami. He is sitting in the QB room with Matt Moore, one of the other QB?s, and Tannehill says he doesn?t know who the other three teams in the AFC East are.

?How do you not know that???? Moore was incredulous. Good television.

10) All NFL teams take a team picture every season, but the Indianapolis Colts don?t post that year?s picture in their facility, unless the team makes the playoffs.

9) Huge tip of the cap to NFL Films, the NFL and HBO for the in-season Hard Knocks show; very good, lot more to work with than during training camp. Colts are cooperating by going on a run while the show has been airing.

8) Major League Baseball really needs to imitate what NFL Films does; they need to expose their game to more and more people, so people can see how great the game is.

Imagine a Hard Knocks-type show in spring training? Showing guys getting sent down to AAA or released, then showing the inner workings of a team for part of a regular season?

This would be a huge success, would expose the game to younger viewers. Every sport needs to grow its fanbase; if you get arrogant, that fanbase could shrink.

7) Missouri QB Connor Bazelak entered the transfer portal after Missouri lost 24-22 to Army in their bowl game (Bazelak didn?t play in that game). Bazelak has two years of eligibility left.

6) Vanderbilt 69, BYU 67:
? Scotty Pippen Jr scored 23 for the winners.
? Vandy-Stanford for the tournament title Saturday night.
? BYU is 4-3 in its last seven games, after a 6-0 start.

5) Stanford 79, Liberty 76:
? Liberty led this game 28-15 early on.
? Stanford made 12-20 on arc, but missed 10 foul shots.
? Darius McGhee scored 41 of Liberty?s 76 points.

4) Indiana Pacers are 0-7 ATS this season as a road favorite.

3) Sounds like rookie Ian Book will start at QB for New Orleans Monday night against the Dolphins; not even sure if they have a backup QB, with Siemian/Hill both out. Would they use RB Alvin Kamara as a Wildcat QB if they needed an emergency QB?

2) 49ers? loss Thursday night puts Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs; Dallas/Green Bay are only two teams that have clinched a playoff spot.

1) Back in 1972, Robert Irsay traded the Los Angeles Rams franchise to Carroll Rosenbloom; he got the Baltimore Colts in return. 11 years later, Irsay moved the Colts to Indianapolis.

It would take too long to detail the drama the Rams franchise went through after that deal, with Rams moving from LA to Anaheim to St Louis, Rosenbloom?s widow?s hometown. After she died, they got smart and moved back to Los Angeles a few years ago.

Could you imagine if a franchise swap like that happened today?

???..Aaron Rodgers is a Hall of Fame quarterback, and I don?t think we?re ready to buy a gold jacket for Joe [Burrow] yet. You could tell the game is slowing down for him. He?s seeing things a lot faster than he did his rookie year, and it?s going to be a tough challenge.?

Quote of the Day
?I?m going to wait until next week, and if I still can?t sleep and it?s still this painful, might have to have in-season surgery. If I can stand the pain and just get a little sleep, I will hold surgery off until after the season.?
Arkansas basketball coach Eric Musselman

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

Sunday?s Den: Wrapping up a busy Christmas Day??..

13) Green Bay 24, Cleveland 22:
? Mayfield threw four INT?s on ten drives.
? Cleveland is 3-6 in games decided by six or fewer points.
? Last five Cleveland games stayed under the total.
? Since his debut in 2018, Mayfield has thrown 54 INTs, more than any QB during that time.

? Browns outgained Green Bay, 408-311.
? Packers were 3-10 on third down, Cleveland 7-12.
? Browns missed PAT after their first TD, 2-point play after 2nd TD.
? In their last five games, Packers scored 33.4 ppg

12) Indianapolis 22, Arizona 16:
? Colts ran ball for 126 yards, even with four starting OL guys out.
? Taylor carried ball for 108 yards; Colts averaged 7.3 yards/pass attempt.
? Last seven weeks, Indy led each game by 6+ points at halftime.
? Colts won six of their last seven games.

? Cardinals lost last three games, giving up 30-30-22 points.
? Arizona missed two FG?s and an extra point.
? Murray ran for 74 of Arizona?s 133 rushing yards.
? Cardinals are 3-5 ATS last eight games (6-1 ATS first seven).

11) Kurt Warner?s movie American Underdog opened in theaters Saturday; NFL Network helped promote it by showing a replay of Super Bowl XXXIV Friday night. Still get nervous watching replays of that game; its been 21 years, what a fun night that was.

10) Rams led that Super Bowl 16-0 in third quarter, blew the lead, then won it 23-16 with a TD right after the 2:00 warning; years later, when the Falcons blew a 27-3 lead to New England in the Super Bowl, I remember sitting there, knowing what every Falcons? fan had to be thinking. Had to be a horrible night for them.

9) Baltimore Ravens are down to one healthy QB for their game with the Bengals; 35-year old Josh Johnson, who has a 1-7 record as an NFL starter, will get the nod. Tyler Huntley (COVID) and Lamar Jackson (ankle) are both apparently out this week.

Josh Johnson played college football at U of San Diego (not San Diego State), where his coach was Jim Harbaugh, John?s brother.

8) Saints signed veteran QB Blake Bortles as a backup for rookie Ian Book; Bortles has a 24-49 record as a starter, but he did lead Jacksonville to a playoff berth in 2017. Taysom Hill, Trevor Siemian are both out for Monday?s game.

7) Miami Dolphins are the team that appears to have the most salary cap room heading into the next offseason.

6) Final of the Diamond Head Classic in Hawai?i between Stanford-Vanderbilt was cancelled after Stanford?s program had COVID issues.

5) New York Knicks haven?t won consecutive games since October 28-30; they?re 3-9 ATS this season in the game following a win.

4) Houston Cougars lost two of their best basketball players this week; Marcus Sasser (toe) is out for the year, and Tramon Mark (shoulder) is out for the foreseeable future. Cougars were a top 10 team before those injuries; now? Not so much.

3) Arkansas basketball coach Eric Musselman tore his rotator cuff; he may or may not have the surgery after the season, depending on how painful the next 7-10 days are. He injured his left shoulder when he jumped into a drill during practice and collided with a player.

2) Penn State?s football team heads into its bowl game 7-5; they?re 0-4 in games decided by four or fewer points.

1) The John Madden documentary was interesting Saturday; the Madden video game has posted over $7B in revenue over the years. Thats BILLION, with a B. People love their video games.
