Quote of the Day
?I don?t talk about it. I don?t even think about that. That?s the business side of it. Let whoever handles that handle that. Boston?s got a tough decision and they got to fork over some money. It?s that simple to get Devers and Bogey [under long-term contracts]. We really need them. These are impact players.?

Monday?s quiz
In the movie Runaway Jury, what great actor plays the winning lawyer in the big case?

Sunday?s quiz
In the movie Happy Gilmore, Adam Sandler?s character plays golf against Price Is Right host Bob Barker.

Saturday?s quiz
Braves moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta in 1966; they had played in Boston before they were in Milwaukee.

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

Monday?s Den: Wrapping up a sports weekend

13) Interesting day of baseball Sunday; in seven of 18 games, the winning run scored from the 7th inning on- that?s a lot of close games for one day.

12) Padres 3, Marlins 2:
? Trailing 2-0, San Diego scored three runs in 9th inning.
? Former Marlin Jorge Alfaro hit a 3-run, pinch-hit, walk-off homer.
? Padres won nine of their last 12 games.

11) Angels 5, Nationals 4:
? Halos scored three times in bottom of 9th.
? Ohtani tied game with 2-run double, Rendon won it with a single.
? Angels are 11-4 in their last fifteen games.

10) White Sox 3, Red Sox 2:
? Keuchel allowed only two runs in six IP.
? Boston was 1-11 with runners in scoring position.
? Red Sox lost five in row, 14 of last 18 games.

9) Astros 5, Tigers 0:
? Detroit went 0-4 in Houston, scoring total of six runs.
? Odorizzi threw 5 scoreless IP, allowing three baserunners.
? Aledmys Diaz hit a grand slam in third inning.

8) 76ers 116, Heat 108:
? Embiid had 24 points, 11 rebounds; he is turning into this generation?s Willis Reed, playing with a broken orbital bone in his eye.
? Harden scored 31 points, with 7 boards, 9 assists.
? Home side has won all four series games.

7) Mavericks 111, Suns 101:
? Dallas was 20-44 on the arc, 18-41 inside arc.
? Mavericks were +16 in the 34:00 Kleber came off bench.
? Home side has won all four series games.

6) HBO?s series Winning Time ended its first season Sunday night, the series about the 1980?s Lakers. I have no idea what to make of it, how much of it is true/false, but it was interesting.

This I?m pretty sure of; hopefully Jerry West will sue the people who made this series. The hatchet job they did on him is kind of weird; they try to make him look like a raving lunatic.

5) Game 6 of the 1980 NBA Finals, the Lakers beat the 76ers without Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who hurt his ankle. Here is what actually happened in the game:
? Lakers won 123-107; game was 60-60 at halftime.
? Magic Johnson played center, scored 42 points, had 15 rebounds.
? Lakers were 33-35 on foul line, Philly 13-22. The game was in Philadelphia.

4) Here is how much the NBA has changed in the last 42 years; those two teams combined to shoot 0-8 from the arc. For the whole game.

In Sunday night?s Miami-Philly game, teams combined to make 23-68 3-pointers.

3) Baylor QB Gerry Bohanon transferred to South Florida; he threw for 2,237 yards for 12-2 Baylor last year, tossing 18 TD?s, with 7 INTs. He also ran for 321 yards.

2) New Orleans 23, Houston 16:
? Both teams made a field goal longer than 50 yards.
? Breakers ran 73 plays for 523 yards; Houston 46 plays for 155 yards.
? New Orleans won despite a minus-4 turnover ratio (0-4

1) Thru four weeks, 3-1 New Jersey leads the North Division; Birmingham is 4-0 in the South, a game ahead of the Breakers. 0-4 Pittsburgh is the lone winless team.

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

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

13) Someday, NFL Films should do a special with a behind-the-scenes look at how they make the NFL schedule; would be fascinating TV.

Who gets what primetime games, the Thanksgiving/Christmas games. Apparently when Tom Brady un-retired, the schedule makers had to scramble and put the Buccaneers back in the mix for prominent time slots. Russell Wilson getting traded, Aaron Rodgers staying in Green Bay all play into what games get the most national TV exposure.

12) Speaking of which, NFL announced their Week 2 Monday night schedule:
7:00? Tennessee @ Buffalo
8:30? Minnesota @ Philadelphia

League didn?t get very good TV ratings when the nightcap of their twin bills were 10:30 starts out west, so they?ve been scratched. The NFL definitely cares about its TV ratings. League has to figure that after the Buffalo game ends, viewers will switch over for the second half of the game in Philadelphia.

11) Boston 116, Milwaukee 108:
? Tatum/Horford both scored 30 points for the Celtics.
? Giannis was 14-32 from floor; other four Milwaukee starters were combined 17-45
? Series is tied 2-2; the NBA?s accountants are happy- they like longer series.

10) Golden State assistant coach Mike Brown was named new head coach of the Sacramento Kings Monday, then he announced he is staying with the Warriors thru the end of the playoffs.

Then Golden State coach Steve Kerr tested positive for COVID and Brown was named interim coach of the Warriors until Kerr returns.

So, the Warriors are being coached by Sacramento?s coach; that?s a new one.

9) Warriors 101, Grizzlies 98:
? Warriors outscored Memphis 39-29 in 4th quarter.
? Ja Morant (knee) didn?t play for Memphis.
? Memphis was +13 in 27:00 Adams played, minus-16 in 21:00 he sat out.

8) Cubs 6, Padres 0:
? Cubs played Sunday night at home, then had this game in San Diego; tough scheduling spot.
? Kyle Hendricks threw 116 pitches, pitched 8.2 IP of shutout ball for Chicago.
? San Diego had only three hits.

7) I?m in a 14-team fantasy baseball league, with 29 guys on each team, so that is 406 players in our league. Pretty deep league.

Last week, the two Players of the Week were Tampa Bay?s Manuel Margot, Milwaukee?s Rowdy Tellez, neither of whom was on a roster in our league when last week started.

Tellez got picked up during the week; Margot is still out there. Lot of skeptics.

6) NHL?s New York Islanders fired coach Barry Trotz; team was 37-35-10 this season, missing playoffs for first time in four years under Trotz.

My cousin and his son, who are avid Islander fans, are shocked/dismayed by this move. In four years as the team?s coach, Trotz was 152-102-34 in regular season, 28-21 in the playoffs. In his 23-year career as a head coach, he is 914-670-60-168.

Trotz won the Stanley Cup in Washington four years ago, then got canned by the Caps, which was also weird. Must be an interesting story why all this happened.

5) Detroit Mercy G Antoine Davis entered the transfer portal this spring, which was odd, since his dad is Detroit?s coach, but now he?s announced that he is staying with the Titans.

This past season, Davis was 3rd in the nation in scoring at 23.9 ppg, and he was co-Horizon League Player of the Year- he?s scored 2,734 points in his career, 22nd all-time in NCAA history. Shooting is marketable, for sure.

Davis made four official visits in the last month, to Maryland, BYU, Georgetown and Kansas State, but he decided to stay home and help his dad keep his job.

4) Guardians 12, White Sox 9 (11)
? Cleveland tied game with six runs in ninth inning
? Josh Naylor hit a grand slam in 9th inning, 3-run homer in 11th.
? Naylor became the first player since RBI?s became official in 1920 to have eight RBI?s from the eighth inning on in a game.

3) Atlanta Falcons have $62M in dead money on their salary cap for this coming season; that is 30% of their payroll, but once 2022 is over, they can get back to regular business.

2) Duke poached a couple of transfers this week, from Harvard and Northwestern, both coached by Duke alums. That should make alumni gatherings a little more fun.

1) From 1986-2002, Dell Curry played in the NBA, scoring 12,670 points for five teams, mostly the Charlotte Hornets; he is now a TV analyst for the Hornets.

Dell Curry went to college at Virginia Tech; he scored 19 ppg in four years with the Hokies. Curry has two sons who were very good high school players, but Virginia Tech didn?t recruit either one of them. This was a mistake. Really big mistake.

Seth Curry is in his 9th NBA season; he started his college career at Liberty, was also poached by Duke, where he played for three years, scoring 17.5 ppg as a senior.

Steph Curry is one of the greatest shooters ever, if not the best. He played three years in college at Davidson, scoring 28.6 ppg in his last year there. His exploits in the NBA are well known.

Seth Greenberg was Virginia Tech?s coach back then; this helps explain why he is a TV analyst now.

Wednesday?s quiz
How many NBA titles did Phil Jackson win as a head coach?

Tuesday?s quiz
Paul Silas was Lebron James? first coach in the NBA, with Cleveland in 2003-04.

Monday?s quiz
In the movie Runaway Jury, Dustin Hoffman plays the winning lawyer in the big case.

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

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

13) Watching Winning Time on HBO the last couple months, the story of the 1980?s Lakers, got me to thinking about how the franchise is run? it isn?t a normal pro sports franchise, which you can see from how Dr Jerry Buss ran things. His daughter Jeannie is now in charge, and she does things pretty much the same way.

Lakers won the NBA title two years ago, but they were 33-49 this year, with the league?s 4th-highest payroll. This was the Lakers? 7th losing season the last nine years, and now there are rumblings that Phil Jackson/Earvin Johnson are back involved with the team as consultants.

Curious to see where they turn for a new head coach.

12) When Pittsburgh beat the Dodgers Monday night, they ended a 16-game losing streak against Los Angeles, a streak that went back four years.

It was also the first win by a Pirate starting pitcher (Jose Quintana) this season, in their 28th game, the longest-such drought to begin a season in big league history (previous record was 21).

It was also Quintana?s first win in his last 21 starts.

11) Sounds like Broncos at Rams is the 4:30 game on Christmas Day; this will be the first time the NFL goes with three games on Christmas. Schedule comes out Thursday night.

10) RB Sony Michel, who helped the Rams win a Super Bowl three short months ago, signed with the Miami Dolphins this week.

9) Heat 120, 76ers 85:
? Miami led by 12 at half, outscored 76ers 39-19 in 4th quarter.
? Sixers? bench shot 10-32 from floor.
? Seven Miami players scored in double figures.
? Heat leads series, 3-2

8) Suns 110, Mavericks 80:
? Phoenix outscored Dallas 33-14 in 4th quarter.
? Mavericks had two starters who didn?t score a point.
? Suns had eight different guys who were +10 or better.

7) This was posted on Twitter by James Smyth; active players with the most career home runs, who don?t have a walk-off homer:
269? JD Martinez
199? Eugenio Suarez
172? Yadier Molina
171? Brendan Belt

6) Angels 12, Rays 0:
? Reid Detmers throws a no-hitter in his 11th big league start.
? Detmers walked one guy, struck out two, threw 108 pitches.
? Last two nights, Angels outscored Tampa Bay 23-3.

5) December 11 in Brooklyn, there will be a college basketball twinbill at Barclays Center; St Bonaventure-Iona, UMass-Hofstra. Not a bad card.

4) 44 prospects were invited to the NBA?s G-League camp; I?m not sure if people know how really difficult it to make to an NBA roster. You have to be GREAT at something (shooting is always marketable); going to NBA Summer League a few times, you see guys who were really good college players who have trouble getting significant minutes at the next level.

3) Former Ohio State QB Cardale Jones signed with the Edmonton Elks of the CFL; Jones played one game in the NFL, for Buffalo against the Jets, the last week in 2016.

2) Chris Flexen has started six games on the mound for the Mariners this season; Seattle was shut out in four of the six games, scored only one run in a fifth game. Not good.

1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
NL: Mets, Brewers, Dodgers. Wild Cards: San Diego, San Francisco, St Louis
AL: Bronx, Twins, Angels. Wild Cards: Houston, Tampa Bay, Toronto

Thursday?s Den: USFL notes, and other stuff??.

After this week, USFL regular season will be half over.

Birmingham Stallions (4-0)
? Trailed at halftime in three of four games
? Outscored opponents 62-27 in second half.
? 4-0 against spread

Houston Gamblers (1-3)

? Were held scoreless in 2nd half in three of four games.
? Three of four games stayed under total.
? Minus-6 in turnovers (1-7)

Elsewhere in the world???
? In my next life, I want to sell hockey jerseys in Canada; watching the Dallas-Calgary game last night, had to be 80-90% of the fans were wearing Flames jerseys, the real ones.

? Seven of first eight 1st-round playoff series are going to a sixth game, good news for the NHL?s accountants. Colorado Avalanche are only team that has advanced to the second round.

? When the Angels beat Tampa Bay 12-0 Tuesday, Rays used a position player to pitch the bottom of the 8th, so Angels? 3B Anthony Rendon batted lefty, for the first time in his ten major league seasons. 4,528 plate appearances, all right-handed.

He hit a home run to right-center, a fairly long one. Batting lefty.

? Wednesday?s Cleveland-Chicago game was postponed; Guardians have COVID issues.

? Christian Yelich hit for the cycle Wednesday for the third time in his career; all three came against Cincinnati. Yelich is the 6th major league to hit for the cycle three times- the others:

Bob Meusel, Babe Herman, John Reilly, Adrian Beltre, Trea Turner

? I?m getting whacked in fantasy baseball this week; other team has Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani? good team.

Trout has been traded twice in our league; who trades Mike Trout?

? Since 2000, Clemson has had 11 WR?s drafted by the NFL, more than any other school; Alabama, LSU, Ohio State are next on that list, with 10 each.

? RIP Bob Lanier, 73 who passed away this week.

Lanier played 14 years in the NBA, making eight All Star Games; he led St Bonaventure to the 1970 Final Four, but he got hurt at the end of the East Region final and never played in the Final Four. He got hurt in a collision with Villanova G Chris Ford, who would later be his teammate with the Detroit Pistons.

Lanier scored 20,492 points in his career; the Pistons, Milwaukee Bucks and St Bonaventure all retired his number. He was a great ballplayer. RIP, sir.

? Reds 14, Brewers 11? Cincinnati is 4-2 in its last six games, after a 3-22 start.

? Marlins 11, Arizona 3? Miami blew 3-1 lead in 8th inning, then scored eight runs in top of the ninth. Alcantara allowed only one run in seven IP for Miami, but didn?t get the win.

? Rays 4, Angels 2 (10)? Taylor Ward tied game with 8th inning homer, but Tampa scored twice in 10th inning to salvage a game in this 3-game series.

? Houston-Minnesota game was suspended in 4th inning because of cruddy weather; game will resume this afternoon, followed by the regularly scheduled game.
