Quote of the Day
?Someone once told me: The hardest thing about winning the Super Bowl is you wake up the next morning and it?s the next season. It?s over. And to be fair, I think that?s daunting to some degree, when you wake up this morning and you realize, ?I?ve got to go do it all over again,? and you don?t have the energy. So I think the talk is actually natural. When you look at someone like Aaron Donald and what he?s accomplished, this was obviously a legacy piece.?

*******************************
Tuesday?s Den: Nobody asked me, but??.
13) On June 14, 1974, Nolan Ryan walked 10, struck out 19 batters in 13 innings in a 4-3 Angels win that lasted 15 innings. Ryan threw 235 pitchers in this game; 235!!!!!!!!
Ryan had a 3-1 lead in ninth inning, but Carl Yastrzemski hit a 2-run homer to tie the game.
Luis Tiant pitched the whole game for the Red Sox.
12) So, when is spring training starting? Too bad the baseball owners/players are all rich nitwits who can?t agree what day it is. They need to end the lockout and get spring training started.
11) They had a draft of players for the NBA All-Star Game last week; how would you like to be the last guy picked for that game?
When I was a kid, I wasn?t usually the last guy picked, but I was closer to the bottom than the top and it sucks. Imagine making $47.2M a season and being the last guy picked? Well, guess making $47.2M would soften the blow some, but still it sucks.
Enough said.
10) Huge overlap in seasons now; I?m still basking in the glow of the Super Bowl, while there is a college hoop game on TV and I?m listening to a podcast on fantasy baseball. Only 26 days until Selection Sunday, 44 days until Opening Day of baseball.
9) MLB Network is televising a college baseball tournament this weekend; not sure how that will be, but some baseball is better than none.
8) John Calipari had a cameo on Showtime?s Billions Sunday night; he gave the hedge fund traders a pep talk, telling them to put their first million dollars away, for security. Once you have security, he says, you lose your fear of failure.
?I?ve had 52 players drafted in the NBA, have 35 players in the league now???
A terrific 1:49 scene, very well done, complete with Calipari waving his national title ring in the air, to impress the traders. Excellent scene.
7) Underdogs are now 10-5 ATS the last fifteen Super Bowls.
6) Last eight Super Bowls, the team that won the coin toss lost the game.
5) Kirk Cousins? salary cap number next year is $45M. Oy.
4) February 2, Syracuse won 89-82 at NC State; three Syracuse subs played a total of 20:00, took one shot the whole game (it missed). None of the starters scored 20 points, which is weird; they all scored between 16-19 points.
You sit in a 2-3 zone, have to rest some on defense; Boeheim?s two sons played 38-40 minutes. This will be a good team to avoid betting on in the ACC tournament, once you get past the first day.
3) NBC is re-booting Law & Order February 24; it is supposed to be pretty much similar to what it was it went off the air 12 years ago. Sam Waterston/Anthony Anderson return to their old roles; one terrific addition to the cast will be Jeffrey Donovan, who was great on an old USA Network series Burn Notice, which ran from 2007-13.
2) Prediction made without judgment: NFL will eventually award a 3rd-round draft pick to teams who hire a minority head coach. NFL needs more teams to hire minority head coaches; a 3rd-round pick is a damn good incentive.
Joe Montana, Terrell Davis, Cooper Kupp were all 3rd-round picks.
1) Sam Ryder made a hole-in-one on the 16th hole at the Phoenix Open Saturday, the hole where 50,000 people watch in a stadium-like setting. Hundreds of water bottles were thrown on the green in celebration. Seeing how the tournament was sponsored by Waste Management, didn?t take long to clean up the bottles, but it was a fun thing to see.
