Wednesday?s 6-pack:
Andy Katz?s preseason top 6 in college basketball:
6) Purdue
5) Villanova
4) Kansas
3) Texas
2) Gonzaga
1) UCLA

Quote of the Day
?Sacramento has informed Marvin Bagley he is not in the opening night rotation, which is completely baffling. It?s clear they have no plans for him in the future, and yet, passed on potential deals at last year?s deadline and this summer based on ?value.? Instead, they chose to bring him back but not play him, a move completely contradictory to their ?value? argument.?
Begley?s agent, Jeff Schwartz

Wednesday?s quiz
Where did Steph Curry play his college basketball?

Tuesday?s quiz
Jack Del Rio was coach of the Raiders, before Jon Gruden.

Monday?s quiz
Buffalo Bills lost 22-16 at Tennessee in a 1999 playoff game, on a 75-yard kick return with 0:03 left. Wade Phillips was coach of the Bills back then.

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

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

13) Dodgers 6, Braves 5:
? LA erupted for four runs in bottom of 8th inning.
? Cody Bellinger?s 3-run tater was the big hit.
? All three games, team won in its final at-bat.
? Braves lead series, 2-1.

12) Astros 9, Red Sox 2:
? Altuve tied it with HR in 8th, Astros scored seven runs in 9th.
? Houston?s bullpen threw 7.2 scoreless IP.
? So far in series, Astro starters have an 18.90 ERA. Not good.
? Series is tied 2-2.

11) Washington State fired football coach Nick Rolovich and four of his assistants because they refused to get the COVID vaccine; the state of Washington required full vaccinations by Monday for most state employees.

Rolovich was in his second season coaching the Coogs, who are 4-3 after winning their third game in a row last week, 34-31 over Stanford.

10) Chargers? coach Brandon Staley is a defensive guru, but so far this season, on opponents? first drive of the second half, they?ve scored five TD?s on six drives, so opposing offenses have obviously been making better halftime adjustments than the Chargers? defensive coaches.

9) Padres? star Fernando Tatis isn?t going to have shoulder surgery this winter, leaving open the possibility of more shoulder injuries next season. Fantasy baseball experts on the Interweb are saying this will lower his rating in drafts next spring.

8) Teams are 1-5 ATS this season, the week after playing Notre Dame; that one cover belongs to Cincinnati, which is trying to impress pollsters in order to make it into the national playoffs.

7) 76ers coach Doc Rivers threw Ben Simmons out of practice Tuesday after Simmons refused to participate in a defensive drill- the team then suspended Simmons for Wednesday?s season opener against the Pelicans.

Simmons wants to be traded, but who would trade for him? He is a difficult person who seems to be a bad teammate. His one year at LSU, his team didn?t even make the NCAA tournament, losing their last game 71-38, a horrendous tank job.

You have a player as talented as Simmons and you can?t make it into the tournament?

If I owned an NBA team, or coached one, wouldn?t want Simmons on my team.

6) Texas-San Antonio has great helmets; their Roadrunner logo is one of the country?s best.

5) You know you?re watching an old movie when there?s a scene at a gas station and gas is $1.21 a gallon. It is $3.38 a gallon around here now.

4) Atlanta Hawks signed Kevin Huerter to a 4-year, $65M contract extension, pretty good for a kid from Clifton Park, 15-20 minutes north of Armadillo World HQ.

3) Mets? owner Steve Cohen is the richest owner in baseball, worth $14B. Carolina Panthers? owner David Tepper is NFL?s wealthiest owner ($15.6B), but Steve Ballmer, who owns the NBA?s LA Clippers, is worth around $70B.

Must be nice.

2) New York City radio icon Howie Rose was saying on Twitter how he loves the NHL?s 3-on-3 overtime; wishes they would make the 3-on-3 10:00 instead of 5:00 and scrap shootouts, and just have tie games sometimes.

1) New Orleans Saints play Monday night in Seattle; it?ll be their sixth game this season, played in six different cities- they played a ?home? game in Jacksonville in Week 1.

PHILADELPHIA is 149-148 ATS (-13.8 Units) in home games after a win by 2 goals or more since 1996.

Thursday?s 6-pack:
Over/under win totals for NBA teams:
54.5? Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks
53.5? Utah Jazz
51.5? Phoenix Suns, LA Lakers
50.5? Philadelphia 76ers
49.5? Denver Nuggets
48.5? Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat

Quote of the Day
?At this point, I don?t care about that man. He does what he wants.?
76ers star Joel Embiid, talking about Ben Simmons

Thursday?s quiz
Which current major league manager was on deck when Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run?

Wednesday?s quiz
Steph Curry played his college basketball at Davidson.

Tuesday?s quiz
Jack Del Rio was coach of the Raiders, before Jon Gruden.

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

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

13) Case Keenum is going to start at QB for the Browns Thursday night when they host Denver. Baker Mayfield has a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder.

Keenum is in his 10th NFL season, on his sixth team; he has a 27-35 record as a starter- he was 11-3 for the ?17 Vikings. Still a mystery why they chose Kirk Cousins over Keenum, but they did.

Vikings are 28-25-1 since Keenum left Minnesota.

12) Braves 9, Dodgers 2:
? Rosario homered twice, knocked in four runs.
? Smyly gave Atlanta 3.2 IP as bulk pitcher.
? Braves lead series, 3-1.

11) Astros 9, Red Sox 1:
? Houston scored five runs in 6th to break open close game.
? Alvarez had three hits, knocked in three runs.
? Astros lead series, 3-2
? Dusty Baker now has 2,024 wins as a manager; he had 2,023 hits as a player.

10) This is how hitting has gotten more difficult in the modern era; in JD Martinez? first 27 plate appearances in the playoffs this month, he faced 21 different pitchers. Hitting is easier if you see the same pitcher over and over; seeing a different guy every time up makes it tougher.

Example; in his career, Mickey Mantle faced these pitchers a lot:

? Billy Pierce, 198 AB?s
? Early Wynn, 161 AB?s
? Frank Lary, 138 AB?s.

In this modern era, Manny Machado has faced these pitchers a lot:
? CC Sabathia, 56 AB?s
? Chris Archer, 52 AB?s
? Jake Odorizzi, 48 AB?s

9) One of the TV networks has a camera in second base, which gives an interesting view of stolen bases, kind of like the camera in the end zone pylon in NFL games.

8) Earlier this week, saw Illinois football coach Bret Bielema go on a 1:36 rant, basically trashing his own team; I think his intent was to shred the job his predecessor Lovie Smith did in building the Illinois roster, but what he really did was throw his current players under the bus.

Bielema had a good run at Wisconsin, going 68-24, but then he had a disagreement with his AD and jumped to Arkansas, where he went 29-34. This is his first year at Illinois.

His AD at Wisconsin was the old football coach; maybe he should?ve stayed there.

7) Appalachian State 30, Coastal Carolina 27:
? App State kicked FG at 0:00 for the win.
? Coastal led 20-14 at halftime.
? App State had TD plays of 47-28-43 yards.

6) Purdue WR David Bell has enjoyed playing against Iowa:
2019- 13 catches, 197 yards, one TD
2020- 13 catches, 121 yards, 3 TD?s
2021- 11 catches, 240 yards, one TD

5) Seattle Seahawks signed QB Jacob Eason off waivers from the Colts, to give Seattle depth at QB, with Russell Wilson hurt.

Geno Smith is starting for Seattle now; his backups are Jake Luton, Danny Etling.

4) Good to hear Stan Van Gundy doing NBA games on TNT; he got a raw deal getting fired by the Pelicans, after only one season. Van Gundy isn?t funny like his brother Jeff, but he talks all ball? it is like listening to a basketball clinic- always learn stuff from him.

3) Indiana Pacers? rookie Chris Duarte is the first rookie to start on Opening Night for Indiana since Jamaal Tinsley 20 years ago.

2) Average salary in the NBA is $7,361,409. Median salary is $3,113,160, meaning half the players make more than that, half the players make less than that.

There are seven NBA players making $40M+ this season.

1) Apparently, the guy who founded match.com lost his girlfriend when she met someone else on??.match.com. Go figure.

Saturday?s quiz
Peyton Manning was the #1 pick in the 1998 NFL Draft; what QB was the #2 pick?

Friday?s quiz
Steph Curry?s dad Dell is a TV analyst for the Charlotte Hornets.

Thursday?s quiz
Dusty Baker was on deck when Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run.

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

Saturday?s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind and our first set of NHL trends??.

13) Astros 5, Red Sox 0:
? Houston wins ALCS, 4-2
? Yordan Alvarez went 4-4, scored twice.
? Luis Garcia allowed one hit in 5.2 IP.

12) July 30 of this year, Braves traded Pablo Sandoval to Cleveland for Eddie Rosario, who was hurt at the time. Weird trade; Rosario was hurt (he didn?t play for Atlanta until August 28), and the Indians immediately cut Sandoval. At the time, it seemed like a nothing trade.

Except that Rosario is 18-38 for Atlanta in the playoffs this month, batting leadoff since they lost Jorge Soler to COVID. He is a huge reason why the Braves lead the NLCS, 3-2.

11) There have been only five games in NFL history with no punts:
1992? Bills 34, 49ers 31
2003? Colts 38, Chiefs 31 (playoffs)
2014? Saints 44, Packers 23
2014? Packers 38, Bears 17
2021? Chiefs 42, Eagles 30

10) In the 5+ years since Peyton Manning retired, Denver Broncos have started 10 different quarterbacks, and it doesn?t look like they?ve found their guy yet. Ironic that a team run by John Elway can?t find a franchise QB.

9) Braves? OF Joc Pederson is in his 8th major league season; must be quite a thrill for his dad to watch him play. Stu Pederson played in eight games for the Dodgers in 1985, getting five AB?s in his month in the major leagues- he scored a run and had an RBI, but never got a hit.

8) Cleveland Browns became the Baltimore Ravens in 1996; in 1999, the new Browns came into being. Baker Mayfield is the 30th QB to start for the Browns in 22+ seasons. Obviously, Case Keenum became starting QB #31 Thursday night.

7) Want to win a bar bet? Only one player EVER has hit for the cycle in a postseason game:

Brock Holt, in Game 3 of the 2018 ALDS, for Boston.

6) Las Vegas Raiders play home games on a grass field at Allegiant Stadium; the grass is wheeled outside the domed stadium afterwards, so it can get lot of sun.

When UNLV plays football at Allegiant Stadium, they play on an artificial turf field that is on the floor of the stadium- the grass field stays outside.

5) Wednesday night in New York, Jayson Tatum of the Celtics went 7-30 from the floor in a double OT loss to the Knicks. At some point, when you?re on your way to shooting 7 for 30, you have to stop taking off-balance jumpers and either drive the ball to the hoop or pass the damn thing.

Tatum only took five foul shots the whole game (he played 44:39) so he wasn?t doing a whole lot of driving. Just because you?re the best player doesn?t mean you always to take the key shots.

4) Speaking of the Knicks, they should wear the same uniforms they wore back when they won NBA titles in 1970 and ?73- the Walt Frazier/Willis Reed era. Uniforms they wore in the season opener looked like they were from the 50?s- not good.

3) AAC poached six teams away from Conference USA, giving the AAC team 14 teams when all the dust settles in couple of years. Not sure it makes the league better just makes it lot more attractive to TV networks that need programming.

School like Texas-El Paso is totally screwed right now; read on Twitter where they?re 800 miles away from their closest remaining C-USA rival. Miners need to hook up with the Mountain West or the Sun Belt, just so they have some affordable travel. Mountain West would be preferable.

I?m going to post NHL/NBA trends/stats every so often in this space; it is still way early in the season, but here?s what we?ve got so far. (stats are thru Thursday?s games)
? Teams on 2nd night of a back/back are 2-7 this season.
? Home teams are 5-5 in overtime, 2-2 in shootouts.

? Anaheim? Lost 3 of last 4 games.
? Arizona is 0-4, giving up 5+ goals three times.
? Chicago is 0-5; over is 2-0-1 in their road games; under is 2-0 at home.
? Colorado lost last three games, outscored 15-7.

? Columbus is 3-0 at home, with two of those wins in OT.
? Under is 4-0 in Dallas games (all on road).
? Last three Detroit games stayed under the total.
? Edmonton won its first four games, scoring 18 goals.

? Florida is 4-0, giving up three goals in last three games.
?Minnesota is 3-0, with all three wins by one goal.
? Montreal is 0-5, scoring total of 4 goals (under 4-1).
? Nashville lost 3 of first 4 games- their last three games stayed under.

? Islanders lost three of first four games, all on road.
? Rangers won last three games; their last four games stayed under.
? All four Ottawa games stayed under the total.
? All three Philly games went over the total.

? Over is 3-1 in Penguin games.
? St Louis won its first three games, all on road.
? San Jose won its first three games.
? Seattle lost four of first five games, all on road (over 3-1-1).

? Tampa Bay is 2-0 at home, 0-2 on road.
? All four Toronto games stayed under the total.
? Washington won three of first four games.
