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

Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but…….​

Bengals 34, Jaguars 31, OT
Backup QB Browning was 32-37/354 passing for his first NFL win.
McPherson kicked a 48-yard FG in overtime for the win.
Chase caught 11 passes for 149 yards and a TD.
Bengals were 8-14 on third down, Jacksonville 6-15.
Jaguars lost QB Lawrence late in game with an ankle injury.
Jaguars scored four touchdowns on their first seven drives.
Jaguars’ last four drives: 27 plays, 111 yards, 3 points.
Under Pederson, Jags are 2-6 ATS as a home favorite.

— There are two Monday night games next week, both at 8:15:
Packers @ Giants, Titans @ Miami

— In their 6-0 loss to the Chargers Sunday, New England’s average starting position on their 10 drives was their own 14-yard line, which is terrible field position.
In all the NFL games since 2000, counting playoff games, this was the worst average starting field position by any team, in any one game.
New England is also the only team since 1938 to give up 10 or fewer points three games in a row, and lose all three games.

— Bears beat Minnesota 12-10 last Monday night; in that game, Justin Fields’ average pass length was 2.7 yards downfield, the shortest by any QB in a game since Tony Romo in 2010.
He threw 12 screen passes; only 19 of his 37 passes were beyond the line of scrimmage.

— In their two post-bye games, Atlanta Falcons haven’t allowed a touchdown on 22 drives; opponents have tried 8 field goals on those 22 drives, but haven’t scored a TD, and Atlanta won both games.

— In their last three games, Denver Broncos are only 8-37 on third down.

— Tennessee Titans lost in overtime Sunday; they’re 4-8, and fired their special teams coach Monday. Titans had a punt blocked for a TD Sunday; their punter also lost a fumble, and hurt his knee trying to recover it- he’s out for the year.
Tennessee also blocked a Colts’ PAT and ran it back for two points, but they lost, and there have to be scapegoats, so the special teams coach was told to take a hike, after six years with the Titans.

— Steelers’ QB Kenny Pickett had ankle surgery Monday, to “accelerate the healing process” on his sprained right ankle, according to Mike Tomlin.
— Word of the Day: Anagram- a word or phrase that is made by switching around the letters of another word or phrase.
For example, “listen” is an anagram for “silent”
“ocean” is an anagram for “canoe”

— Random trend for the upcoming bowl games:
Over the last five years, bowl underdogs who lost their conference championship game have gone 15-9 against the spread in their bowl games.

— Hotel rates for Super Bowl weekend (February 9-12) in Las Vegas:
Aria $1,467/night.
Bellagio $1,600/night.
Cosmopolitan $1,600/night.
Fountainblue $1,567/night.
Venetian $1,199/night.
Yikes.

— Wealthiest owners in pro sports:
$100B- Steve Ballmer, LA Clippers
$67B- Rob Walton, Denver Broncos
$32B- Miriam Adelson, new owner of Dallas Mavericks
$21B- Dan Gilbert, Cleveland Cavaliers
$20B- David Tepper, Carolina Panthers

— In their first 34 years of existence, the Minnesota Timberwolves spent a total of 10 days as the #1-seed in the NBA’s Western Conference. Thats 10 days in 34 years.
This season, Minnesota is 15-4, the #1-seed in the West; they’ve spent more time as the #1 seed in the West this season than they did in their first 34 years of existence.

— 23 years ago, Mark Cuban bought the Dallas Mavericks for $285M; he just sold them for $3.5B, plus he retains control of basketball operations in the deal.
There are some conspiracy theories as to why this happened:
The Adelson family wants to own a casino(s) in Texas, once Texas legalizes gambling.
If that doesn’t happen, Adelsons might move the Mavericks to Las Vegas
Cuban might be thinking of running for President.
We’ll see what happens, but it must be nice to be so freakin’ rich.

— I mentioned a few weeks ago how I was intrigued by Rice QB JT Daniels as a longshot NFL Draft prospect; he’s played at several different colleges, but now word comes out of Houston that Daniels has been advised to medically retire from football because of all the concussions he’s had over the years.
Daniels told ESPN that he plans to get into coaching; he knows a lot of people after a playing career at four different schools over six years. Networking will help him get his first job.

— When Florida State got left out of the college football playoff, it cost the ACC $6M from the money that the playoff generates; 14 teams in the ACC, that’s $428,571 per school.

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

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..

— USC QB Caleb Williams isn’t going to play in the Trojans’ Holiday Bowl game, coach Lincoln Riley announced Monday; Williams threw for 3,633 yards and 30 TD’s in USC’s 7-5 regular season, when they lost five of their last six games.

This raises an interesting question; the QB is the heart of the team right, the most important player? What does it say about a quarterback when he skips out on the team’s last game of the year to protect his own self-interest?

If you’re an NFL general manager, does this change how you evaluate Williams? I’m serious about this, if a QB jumps ship on his team, what does it say about him, if anything?

Guess I’m old fashioned, but he’d have some explaining to do before my team drafted Williams to be the QB of our future.

— Kansas State 72, Villanova 71, OT
K-State won its last four games, the last three in overtime.
Villanova lost its last three games; they’re 6-4.
In his head coaching career, K-State coach Tang is 9-0 in OT games.

— Southern Illinois 70, Oklahoma State 68
Salukis’ G Johnson scored 32 points, had five assists.
Oklahoma State is 1-5 vs teams ranked in top 200.
Salukis are 6-2, shooting 39.8% on the arc (#17).

— Delaware 87, Xavier 80
Xavier is 4-5, losing last three games, by 2-6-7 points.
Musketeers led by 10 points in first half.
Delaware came into the game on a 3-game losing skid.

— Illinois 98, Florida Atlantic 89
Illinois scored 1.31 ppp; they shot 75.7% inside the arc.
FAU is off to a 7-2 start, against schedule #38.
Right now, Illinois has the #2 eFG% defense in country.

— UConn 87, North Carolina 76
Huskies scored 1.23 ppg, shooting 68.6% inside arc.
UConn is grabbing 39.3% of its missed shots (#9 in country).
Carolina is 3-2 vs top 100 teams; their next game is 11 days from now.

— Grand Canyon 79, San Diego State 73
This is arguably the biggest win in Grand Canyon history.
Antelopes shot 64% inside the arc.
This is why top 50 teams don’t like to play road games before Christmas.

— Wisconsin 70, Michigan State 57

Wisconsin won its late six games, with three top 50 wins.
Spartans are off to a sputtering 4-4 start, 1-4 vs top 100 teams.
MSU is shooting 27.5% on arc (#325), 67.1% on foul line (#278).

— Word of the Day: Camaraderie- mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together.

— Red Sox traded OF Alex Verdugo to the Bronx, in exchange for three minor league pitchers. Verdugo will be a free agent next winter; the last two years, his OPS was .732/.745, numbers that should go up with the short right field porch in the Bronx.

— White Sox signed P Erik Fedde to a 2-year, $15M deal, after Fedde was MVP of the Korean League last summer. He was 21-33, 5.41 in 88 major league starts in six years with Washington, going 6-13, 5.81 in 27 starts for the Nationals two years ago.

— There are already 1,184 kids in the college football transfer portal; not all of them are QB’s.

Texas Tech QB Tyler Shough is bolting to Louisville; next year will be his 7th season of college football- he’ll be 25 years old, and has previously played at Oregon, Texas Tech.

— Tim Boyle started at QB for the Jets the last two weeks; they cut him Tuesday, and added QB Brett Rypien, who has already been with the Rams and Seattle this season.

— I don’t give a rat’s ass who wins the Heisman Trophy; it might be the most over-hyped thing in all of sports. I’m not big for individual awards, but this one they start speculating on around Labor Day, which is ludicrous.

— Arizona State G Jose Perez has had an interesting college basketball career; he’s been all over the country, could write an excellent book.

2018-20- Gardner Webb- shot 37% on arc as a freshman, 26% as a sophomore.
2020-21- Marquette- He only played in 10 games; the coaching staff got fired after the year.
2021-22- Manhattan- scored 19.3 ppg for the Jaspers, who fired their coach after the year.

2022-23- Bolted to West Virginia but wasn’t granted eligibility. Not surprisingly, the coach at West Virginia got fired after the season, but it was for non-basketball reasons.
2023-24- Arizona State- is scoring 11.3 ppg this year; Sun Devils are 28-15 since the start of last season, so at least the coach’s job is (probably) safe.
