Quote of the Day
“He’s not an ego guy. He’s not a big media-look-at-me guy. There’s a balance; you want to be confident, but you don’t want to be the guy who’s always looking for the camera.”
Chargers’ OT Trey Pipkins III, talking about QB Justin Herbert
Friday’s quiz
Joe Montana won four Super Bowls playing for San Francisco; which NFL team did he finish his career with?
Thursday’s quiz
Todd Helton was the QB for the Tennessee Volunteers the year before Peyton Manning became Tennessee’s QB.
Wednesday’s quiz
Cavaliers’ star Donovan Mitchell played his college basketball at Louisville.
**************************
Friday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here……..
— One of the most underreported stories in sports: College football coaches live a nomadic existence, especially assistant coaches. They change jobs. A lot.
Clemson fired offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter after only one year as the Tigers’ play-caller; Streeter was a longtime assistant and is a former Clemson QB, it had to be awkward, seeing how he was Clemson’s QB coach when they had Deshaun Watson/Trevor Lawerence.
Clemson then poached TCU’s OC Garrett Riley, three days after the Horned Frogs got waxed in the national championship game. They must’ve thrown a boatload of $$$ at him.
— It says on my Twitter feed that Baylor went for it on 4th down 47% of the time this season; Texas Tech went for it 42% of the time. Did they outlaw punting in the Big X?
Wyoming only went for it on 4th down 6% of the time, Nebraska 8%, Clemson 12%. Maybe if Clemson played the freshman QB sooner this season, they wouldn’t have had to fire their offensive coordinator.
— When Al Davis owned the Oakland Raiders, he used to interview guys for coaching jobs that he had no intention of hiring; he just wanted to pick their brains. Seriously.
I’m wondering if this still goes on; do coaches ever turn down interviews with rival teams?
If I was a billionaire who owned an NFL team, I’d be damned if someone would tell me who we could/could not hire as our head coach, but there are rules, so even if a team knows who they are going to hire, they have to go thru the motions and interview other people. Might as well learn something from those interviews.
— Watching the last episode of HBO’s Hard Knocks last night, had to feel bad for coach Kliff Kingsbury, whose firing this week wasn’t even a surprise, that’s how bad Arizona’s season was. He seems like a good guy.
— In better news, it only took me five years to figure out how to get HBO Max on my TV; I’ve been watching it on my laptop for years, but now that I have YouTube TV, I can watch Hard Knocks, West Wing re-runs and Curb Your Enthusiasm on my TV. Apparently I’m not as dumb as I look.
— If Chiefs/Bills meet in the AFC Championship game, it’ll be played on a neutral field in Atlanta, since the Bills/Chiefs didn’t play the same amount of games this season.
— Warriors-Spurs are playing in the Alamodome Friday night; they’re expected a crowd of about 65,000, the biggest-ever crowd for an NBA game. Hopefully none of the players will take the night off for “load management”
— Minor League baseball is expected to use an automated ball-strike umpiring system across the Triple-A level during this coming season; half the AAA games are expected to use the automated system, the other half using a challenge system, as MLB experiments with how they’re going to change the umpiring system going forward.
— Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) has 13 basketball teams, as they shuffle teams in/out, with the teams that leave going elsewhere for football-related reasons. As a result, the CAA’s rating has dropped to 24th out of 32 leagues, its lowest ranking this century and only 2nd time they’ve been out of the top 20.
CAA was the 14th-rated league last year, now they’re 24th.
— Gonzaga 75, BYU 74
BYU led by 10 points with 5:03 left.
Zags hit a 3-pointer with 0:10 left for the win.
BYU made 13-25 on the arc, only 5-10 on foul line.
— Minnesota 70, Ohio State 67— Interesting telecast on FS1, with no commercials and access to both benches/locker rooms. Banter between Minnesota coach Johnson and the refs was fun to listen to, a little like the old NFL Films stuff from the Hank Stram days.
Gophers were a 15-point underdog; this was their first conference win. Minnesota’s last four games have now been decided by either 2 or 3 points.
— Iowa 93, Michigan 84 OT— Hawkeyes trailed by 7 with 2:07 left, outscored Michigan 23-7 the rest of the way. Michigan is 9-7 now, has lost four of its last six games.
— Kansas City 81, St Thomas 60— Tommies are in their second year of D-I ball; home team is now 7-0 SU/ATS in their Summit League games this season.
— Oakland 69, Robert Morris 65— Oakland started this season 2-11, but now they’ve won five games in a row, are 5-2 in Horizon games. Grizzlies’ last three wins were by 1-2-4 points.
— Celtics 109, Nets 98— Celtics have now beaten Brooklyn nine times in a row.

******************************
Saturday’s Den: Cleating out a cluttered mind…….
— NFL playoff nuggets for this weekend:
Rain/wind expected for the Seahawks-49ers game; last two years, #2-seeds are 3-1 SU/ATS in this round. 49ers ran for 189/170 yards in their two wins over Seattle this year. Both QB’s are making their first career playoff start.
Both QB’s in Chargers-Jaguars game are also making their first-ever playoff start. Last six times #5-seed was favored in this round, they went 5-1 ATS. Jaguars waxed the Chargers 38-10 at SoFi back in Week 3. Chargers’ WR Williams (back) is out.
Dolphins are starting #3 QB Thompson (1-1 as an NFL starter) this week; they lost five of their last six games, beating Jets 11-6 last week. Miami hasn’t won a playoff game since 2000.
Last five years, #6-seeds are 9-1 ATS in this round.
Despite being 13-4, Vikings have been outscored 427-424. Giants are 13-4 ATS this season, 5-2 as a road underdog. Kirk Cousins is 1-2 in playoff games; both head coaches are first-year coaches, so obviously, this is their first playoff game.
Cincinnati won its last eight games (12-2 ATS last 14). Bengals won AFC title last year; before that, their last playoff win was in 1990. John Harbaugh is 11-8 in playoff games, 1-3 since 2015.
In his career, Tom Brady is 41-20-2 ATS as an underdog; this is first time he has been a home underdog in a playoff game. Dallas is 0-8 in its last eight road playoff games; their last road playoff win was in 1992.
In overtime games this season, both teams will get the ball at least once, unless there is a defensive score on the first series in OT. This is different than the regular season rule, where a TD scored by the offense on the first drive ends the game.
Elsewhere…….
— In Michael Jordan’s last season in the NBA, at age 40, he played in all 82 games, and averaged 37 minutes a game.
— 11 years ago this week, Dwight Howard scored 45 points and grabbed 23 rebounds in a win over the Warriors; he was 21-39 on the foul line.

Quote of the Day
“Let me tell you something, man. I think from playing football, watching football, I know a lot of quarterbacks would’ve folded in that situation that he went through. For him just to be as poised and composed as he was, it showed another side of who we have on this team. I mean, that guy right there, standing right there, that’s a special man.”
Jaguars WR Zay Jones, talking about QB Trevor Lawrence
Sunday’s quiz
When Don Shula won his 325th win as an NFL coach back in 1993, which current NFL head coach played QB for the Dolphins that day?
Saturday’s quiz
In the old TV show Get Smart, the agents had numbers. Barbara Feldon’s character was Agent 99. Maxwell Smart was Agent 86.
Friday’s quiz
Joe Montana won four Super Bowls playing for San Francisco; he finished his career with Kansas City, in 1993-94.
*************************
Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday……..
— Jaguars 31, Chargers 30
Chargers led 27-0 with 1:00 left before halftime.
Lawrence in 1st half: 10-24, 77 yards, 1 TD, 4 INT’s
Lawrence in 2nd half: 18-23, 211 yards, 3 TD’s
Jacksonville won, despite being minus-5 in turnovers.
I cannot emphasize enough how rare it is for an NFL team to be minus-5 in turnovers and still win the game. Doug Pederson is 5-2 as a head coach in the playoffs.
— 49ers 41, Seahawks 23
Seattle led this game 17-16 at halftime.
49ers had nine drives; they scored 4 TD’s, kicked 4 FG’s.
San Francisco averaged 10.5 yards/pass attempt.
Metcalf caught 10 passes for 136 yards, 2 TD’s for Seattle.
College basketball stuff………
SEC
Kentucky 63, Tennessee 56— Wildcats outscored Tennessee 22-7 on foul line. This is Kentucky’s first top 50 win this season.
Vanderbilt 97, Arkansas 84— Vandy outscored Hogs 63-42 in second half. Arkansas has injury issues; they’ve started SEC play 1-4.
Alabama 106, LSU 66— Crimson Tide led 59-22 at halftime.
SEC has seven teams in top 50; Alabama/Texas A&M are the two unbeatens in SEC play.
