Tuesday?s 6-pack
Draft order for April?s draft in Las Vegas:
1) Jacksonville
2) Detroit
3) Houston
4) Jets
5) Giants
6) Carolina

Quote of the Day
?We?re gonna take it day by day. We?re not gonna make any predictions. I wouldn?t do that to Daniel (Jones) or really any other player. I don?t think that?s fair to compare him to another guy that I was working with. He?s himself. We?re gonna find out what he does well. We?re gonna try to implement a system that suits him. And then it?s our job to bring pieces in that help him to be the best version of himself and the best quarterback for us.?
Giants coach Brian Daboll

Tuesday?s quiz
Rams have played in four Super Bowls, with four different head coaches. Who are they?

Monday?s quiz
Ken Anderson, Boomer Esiason started for the Bengals in their other two Super Bowls.

Sunday?s quiz
In the baseball movie Trouble with the Curve, Clint Eastwood plays a scout for the Atlanta Braves.

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

Tuesday?s Den: Nobody asked me, but??.

13) Green Bay Packers named a new offensive line coach Monday; Luke Butkus, nephew of the Bears? Hall of Fame linebacker.

Dick Butkus is one of the greatest Bears ever; he tweeted this, about his nephew going to work for one of Chicago?s biggest rivals:

?shout out to my nephew luke the new o line coach for the packers so great to see you moving up with an expansion team?

12) Green Bay lost its offensive coordinator to Denver, its passing game coordinator to Chicago; its one thing to take assistant coaches from successful teams, but you need a good QB to have a really good offense. If Aaron Rodgers stays in Green Bay, that leaves Denver with suspects under center, and the Bears will be using young QB Fields, so no guarantees there.

11) Four short years ago, Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, with Doug Pederson as coach, Nick Foles at QB, subbing for an injured Carson Wentz.

Today, Pederson is unemployed, Foles was a 3rd-string QB for Chicago this year and Wentz missed the playoffs in Indianapolis. Success can be fleeting in the NFL.

10) Speaking of which, will San Francisco trade Jimmy Garoppolo? Over last five years, 49ers are 35-16 with Garoppolo under center, 8-28 with anyone else, but they drafted Trey Lance and seem committed to him as the QB going forward.

9) If the 49ers do trade Garoppolo, where will he go? At quick glance, here are five teams who need a starting QB the most:

? Denver? Ironic that John Elway can?t find a quarterback.
? New Orleans? Unless you think Jameis Winston is the answer; if Sean Payton thought that, he?d still be coaching the Saints.
? Pittsburgh? Big Ben is a tough act to follow.
? Tampa Bay? Buccaneers could soon be in a total rebuild, if coach Arians leaves.
? Washington? They?ve have three winning seasons since 2008.

8) Saw a mock draft online yesterday; the first QB-RB-WR was the 8th pick. Not a lot of great QB prospects in this draft, so teams will use free agency to improve under center.

Obviously, the Deshaun Watson situation will be the biggest domino to fall; once he finds a new home, then the picture will be more clear.

7) I?m curious; the day after teams win their conference championship and make it into the Super Bowl, how much money do they make selling t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc? Has to be a pretty good windfall, right?

6) Chiefs? coach Andy Reid has coached in nine conference championship games, has a 3-6 record, despite being favored in eight of the nine games.

5) Bengals? coach Zac Taylor was an assistant coach for the Rams in 2017-18, Sean McVay?s first two years in Los Angeles.

4) One of the underreported aspects of college football is the nomadic existence of coaches.

Oklahoma State just named Derek Mason as its new defensive coordinator; this past year, Mason had that job at Auburn. Before that, he was the head coach at Vanderbilt.

Nashville, Auburn, Stillwater, all in 26 months or so. There are lot of guys whose career paths are similar. They must be very good at picking (or their wives are)

Arizona State poached OC Glenn Thomas from UNLV, as Herm Edwards rebuilds his coaching staff.

3) There is a NASCAR race in the LA Coliseum this weekend, which will look very strange. Half-mile track built around/over a football field.

2) Purdue C Zach Edey is 7-foot-4, 290 pounds; he has a 7-7?? wingspan; he?s scored 20+ points in seven games this year, despite never playing more than 27:00. Edey has played more than 21:00 in only two games this season, but he?s productive, and when everyone else is tired, he?s still 7-foot-4.

1) Arizona is 17-2 this season, despite having a new coach and the #355 experience team, out of 358 teams. Wildcats have eight foreign players on their roster; they play pace #3, very fast.

You would think it would be difficult to have great chemistry with players from so many different places, but coach Tommy Lloyd has experience recruiting foreign players and Arizona is fun to watch.

They struggled shooting the last couple games (10-51 on arc) but everyone goes thru stages like that. Will be interesting to follow them the rest of this season.

Wednesday?s 6-pack
? Texas Tech 77, Texas 64? Coach Beard loses in his return to Lubbock.
? Michigan State 65, Maryland 63? Spartans blew 15-point lead, won it with 0:01.5 left.
? North Carolina 90, Louisville 83, OT? Bacot had 19 points, 22 rebounds.
? Auburn 100, Alabama 81? Auburn was 31-39 on foul line; lot of foul shots.
? Northwestern 79, Rutgers 78, OT? Wildcats blew a 52-28 lead, still got a win.
? Davidson 81, St Bonaventure 76? Wildcats made 12-28 on the arc.

Quote of the Day
?We don?t have the same funding resources as some of these schools do for these NIL deals. It?s basically dealing with different salary caps. Now we have a sport that has completely different salary caps and some of these schools have, whatever, five to 10 times more than everybody else in what they can pay the players. I know nobody uses those phrases, but that is what it is.?
Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin

Wednesday?s quiz
Where did Charles Barkley play his college basketball?

Tuesday?s quiz
Rams have played in four Super Bowls, with four different head coaches; Ray Malavasi, Dick Vermeil, Mike Martz, Sean McVay.

Monday?s quiz
Ken Anderson, Boomer Esiason started for the Bengals in their other two Super Bowls.

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

Wednesday?s Den: Mid-week musings???

13) Football is the only sport where the pro game is shorter than the college game; clocks stop after first downs in college. College teams run more average plays in a game than NFL teams do, which is big reason why turnovers are so critical. There aren?t that many drives in an NFL game.

Rams had eight drives Sunday, 49ers had nine (not counting kneel-downs at end of half). Rams threw an INT in red zone on one drive, dropped a TD pass on another, two wasted chances that created their problems entering the 4th quarter.

Turnovers can be random/luck-related, which is part of reason why handicapping football is so difficult.

12) Minnesota Vikings are interviewing Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh Wednesday; rumor is they want him to be their next coach. 49ers assistant DeMeco Ryans turned down a chance for a second interview, signaling that he thinks Harbaugh-to-Minnesota is a done deal.

NFL teams have to interview a certain amount of minority candidates (Rooney Rule) for head coach openings, but if a guy thinks he has no shot at getting the job, he can turn down the interview. Younger guys take the interview, just to get experience in the interview process.

First three coach openings this month have all been filled by coaches with offense background.

11) Former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores is suing the NFL and three times for racial discrimination; apparently he has given up on ever being a head coach again, if he is suing the whole damn league.

Flores went 24-25 in three years with Miami, never made the playoffs, even though his last two teams went 10-6/9-8.

Here?s the problem Flores has:
? Week 17, 2020, Dolphins lost 56-26 in Buffalo
? Week 17, 2021, Dolphins lost 34-3 at Tennessee.

When your team goes in the tank at big moments in critical games, it doesn?t look good for the coach. NFL teams are worth an average of $3B each; they?re entitled to hire who they damn well please to be their head coach.

Getting along well with others is part of being a good coach; there were lot of rumors that Flores/Miami?s front office were often at odds about their jobs.

10) Tom Brady officially retired Tuesday, meaning that Canton, OH will be a good place to avoid in August 2027, when Roethlisberger/Brady get inducted into the Hall of Fame.

I was in Canton for the 2001 Hall of Fame events, to see Jack Youngblood/Jackie Slater get inducted. Marv Levy also got in that year, so lot of Buffalo fans were there and Lynn Swann got in, so lot of Pittsburgh fans showed up.

Steeler fans were insufferable that day, ragging on the Buffalo fans because they?ve never won a Super Bowl- they were really annoying, so could be lot of trash talk between Steeler/Patriot fans in 2027. The ?annoying meter? will be off the charts, both ways.

9) Buccaneers will have $32M of dead money next year, which is a salary cap charge for a player no longer on a team?s roster, with Brady retiring before June 2.Tampa Bay can get some salary cap relief by keeping him on the roster until June- that?s what the Saints did when Drew Brees retired.

8) Understood that the transfer portal is a way of life in college sports now, but when I see a kid playing for his third school in four years, it makes me squeamish about the player.

James Akinjo played two years at Georgetown, then bolted to Arizona, then bolted to Baylor.

Georgetown lost its last seven games before Akinjo bolted; Arizona went 5-6 in its last 11 games LY, then Akinjo bolted and the Wildcats changed coaches. Arizona is 17-2 this season with a new coach and almost entirely-new roster.

Now the highly-skilled Akinjo is at Baylor, which won the national title last year. Bears are 19-3 this season, 7-2 in conference; will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

7) Penn State 90, Iowa 86, 2OT:
? Penn State shot 57% inside arc, Iowa 35%
? Hawkeyes tipped in an airball at buzzer to force OT.
? Iowa lost three of its last four games.

6) Wyoming 84, Colorado State 78, OT:
? This was really good game; Mountain West is better this year.
? Maldonado scored 35 points, had 7 assists for Wyoming
? Wyoming played only one sub more than 7:00, at high altitude.

5) NC-Wilmington is on an incredible run; Seahawks started the season #277 on KenPom?s rankings; they were picked to finish last in the CAA by Blue Ribbon Yearbook, after going 38-76 the previous four years, 18-43 in conference games.

After starting this season 3-5, UNCW has gone on a 12-0 run- they were underdogs in eight of the 12 games, going 11-0 against the spread (one game was against an NAIA team). Now the Seahawks are up to #222, are have a 2-game lead in the CAA- they?ll still have to win the CAA tournament to get into March Madness, but they?re having a great season.

4) If you?ve got an extra $3B hanging around, the Denver Broncos are for sale. Last NFL team that was sold were the Carolina Panthers, who went for $2.2B- Broncos are said to be worth more than the Panthers, so the deal should be around $3B.

3) Pitt-West Virginia will open their college football season against each other next September , the regional rivals? first meeting since 2011.

2) QB Caleb Williams finally decided to bolt to USC, after leaving Oklahoma when Lincoln Riley skipped town to coach the Trojans. Wisconsin tried very hard to lure Williams to Madison, but what 20-year old passer chooses Madison over Tinseltown?

1) MLB Network showed Game 7 of the 1965 World Series Tuesday, Twins-Dodgers, Sandy Koufax against Jim Kaat. Lot of great players in the game, which was played in the daytime (the night World Series game was in 1971).

Ray Scott broadcast the first 4.5 innings, Vin Scully the last 4.5; two great announcers. Lot of great players: Koufax-Drysdale-Oliva-Killebrew-Kaat.

Earl Battey caught for the Twins that day; his grandson plays basketball for Colorado now.

TV coverage of baseball is so much better now; weren?t many graphics back then. No one was talking about pitch counts or defensive positioning. Was fun to watch it; I was five years old back then? game was in bacl/white, that?s how old I am. LOL

Quote of the Day
? ? It was like, ?Well if I can get a swing on it and I can hit it then why would I take a drop?? You?re never over ? a 65-foot cliff. So it?s an unusual situation, normally if you?re walking into a hazard, you see a ball, you hit it out. [Caddie] Michael [Greller] hated it. He tried to talk me out of it three times. I don?t blame him, looking back. I?m just glad I made the par to make it worth it because I don?t think I would have made par with a drop, but if I made bogey it would have really not been worth it?
Jordan Spieth, after hitting a shot from an awkward lie on Saturday

Monday?s quiz
In the last ten NCAA tournaments, how many times has Gonzaga been a #1-seed?

Sunday?s quiz
In the movie Dave, Kevin Kline played the President of the United States.

Saturday?s quiz
Marisa Tomei played Joe Pesci?s girlfriend in My Cousin Vinny.

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

Monday?s Den: Wrapping up a sports weekend??.

13) Selection Sunday is only five weeks away; lot of studying to do between now and then (and packing for my first vacation in 2.5 years!!!). Anyway, the biggest question I have right now is, how good is Gonzaga?

? Gonzaga is 19-2, 8-0 in WCC; their three road wins in WCC were by 32-30-33 points.
? Beat Texas by 12, UCLA by 20, Texas Tech by 14; lost to Duke, Alabama.
? Zags are shooting 62.7% inside the arc, 37.9% on the arc.
? They defend well without forcing lot of turnovers; they gave up 84-91 points in the losses.

WCC is the #9 conference right now; some good teams, but it ain?t the SEC or Big X.

One of the many things we?ll be following the next few weeks.

12) USC basketball coach Andy Enfield played college ball a D-III Johns Hopkins; in his career, he made 431 of 466 free throws, which is 92.5%, the best %age ever.

Must be frustrating this year; Enfield was a great shooter, is a really good shooting coach, but this year?s Trojans are shooting 63.7% on the foul line, 351st out of 358 D-I teams.

11) People bust on the Rams because they trade all their first-round draft picks (for proven stars) but when you draft well and develop players, the system works.
? Nick Scott, starting safety? 7th round draft pick in 2019
? Travin Howard, starting LB? 7th round draft pick in 2018
? Kendall Blanton, tight end? undrafted free agent in 2019

Having a great GM is just as important as having a great coach; Rams have both, with Les Snead and Sean McVay.

10) Nuggets 124, Nets 104:
? Nikola Jokic had a triple-double, his 14th this season, 71st of his career, only six behind the great Wilt Chamberlain on that list. If you?re mentioned in the same sentence as Wilt, you?re pretty damn good.

Meanwhile, Nets have lost eight games in a row, are 2-9 without Kevin Durant in lineup.

9) Staying in Denver, Denver Broncos are for sale? guy who is a financial advisor for Denver in the deal is Steve Greenberg, son of baseball Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg.

Steve Greenberg was Fay Vincent?s deputy commissioner 30 years ago; he was instrumental in Denver getting a baseball expansion team (Colorado Rockies).

8) Los Angeles Clippers have won nine games this year when trailing by 10+ points; they?ve won four games after trailing by 20+, which is most in the NBA.
? Good news- They?re spunky and competitive
? Bad news- They fall behind a lot.

7) In the last few weeks, Michigan?s football coach tried pretty hard to become an NFL head coach; they?ve lost their offensive coordinator, and this weekend, they lost their defensive coordinator. Not a good sign for the Wolverines? immediate future.

6) Niagara 80, Iona 71? Gaels? first loss in 12 MAAC games. Better now than in March; they?ll need to win the MAAC tournament to get into March Madness for sixth straight time.

5) Loyola Chi 71, Missouri State 62:
? Loyola held Isiaih Mosley to 12 points; he had 40 in their first meeting.
? Ramblers lead MVC by game over Northern Iowa/Drake.

4) Wyoming 61, Fresno State 59:
? Cowboys won 4th game in row; they?re 10-1 in last 11 games.
? Wyoming?s last five wins were all by 7 or less points.

3) Providence 71, Georgetown 52:
? Hoyas led 30-27 at halftime.
? Friars won seven in row, 15 of last 16 games.
? Georgetown has lost 11 games in a row; no idea where they?ll turn for a head coach if they decide to fire Patrick Ewing, the best player in Georgetown history. Hoyas are a mess, and are 26-54 in Big East games under Ewing.

2) Miami Dolphins hired Yale graduate Mike McDaniel as their new head coach; he comes from the 49ers, he has a 15-year coaching resume, but was 49ers? OC for only one year.

Nine head coach openings; seven have been filled, all by Caucasians, as NFL teams give the middle finger to Brian Flores and his lawsuit. Saints/Texans are the last two teams with a head coach opening. Roger Goodell?s press conference this week should be very interesting if neither one of those teams hire a minority head coach.

1) August 1, 1986, the first time I ever stepped foot inside a casino. Pretty good day; I was visiting my sister in Los Angeles and we drove thru the desert to Las Vegas, where it was 112 degrees when we showed up. Stepped into a sportsbook and my head was spinning; sports/numbers are my thing. This was heaven on earth.

I go up to the counter to bet on the Mets, who were playing the Montreal Expos- can?t remember who was pitching for the Mets, but Floyd Youmans was pitching for Montreal. Give the guy my bet and he is smiling:

?Great pick buddy, but the game started 90 minutes ago.?

I had forgotten to set my watch to the western time zone; game was in the 5th inning.

Whoops.
