Tuesday’s 6-pack
Plays of 20+ yards last season:
83— Chiefs
80— Eagles
75— 49ers
72— Dolphins
71— Bills
70— Jaguars

Quote of the Day
“I love the competitive aspect of [the playoffs]. This is where all the best players, they show up and they show out. I’m not saying I’m one of those best players; I just want to be looked at as such.”
Jimmy Butler

Tuesday’s quiz
Before he was a pro wrestler and later an actor, Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson played college football. What school did he play for?

Monday’s quiz
Last time the Detroit Lions won a playoff game, Troy Aikman was the other team’s quarterback, way back in 1991.

Sunday’s quiz
Seattle SuperSonics were an NBA team from 1967-2008, but then they moved to another city. Oklahoma City Thunder used to be the SuperSonics.

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

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

— Aaron Rodgers got traded to the Jets Monday:

Jets get: Rodgers, the 15th pick in Thursday’s draft and a 5th round pick.

Green Bay gets:
the 13th pick in Thursday’s draft
a 2nd round pick in the draft (42nd pick)
a 6th round pick in the draft
A 1st round pick in the 2024 draft.

The 2024 pick becomes a 2nd round pick if Rodgers plays less than 65% of the Jets’ plays this season. If he plays 65%+ of the Jets’ plays, then it stays a 1st round pick.

Jets are going to be on primetime TV a lot this season.

— Jordan Love is the Packers’ QB now; his backup, if there was a game tomorrow, would be the world-famous Danny Etling, who is 28 years old but has never taken an NFL snap. He started at both Purdue/LSU, started for three years, but his last game at LSU was in 2017.

He hasn’t played a football game since 2017; Green Bay will likely add a QB or two before they begin training camp.

— Jets haven’t made the playoffs since 2010, the longest current drought in the league. That is about to end.

— Colorado Rockies’ TV guy Ryan Spilborghs was telling a story on himself Monday night; he played in the major leagues for seven years, hit .272 for his career. Pretty good ballplayer, but at the end of his career, he got traded from Cleveland to Texas, in a cash transaction.

Spilborghs was imagining how much $$$ the Rangers paid to acquire him in the deal; $50,000? $100,000? Years later, he found out the truth.

Turns out the guy who drafted him in Colorado 10 years earlier was working for Texas then, and he thought Spilborghs still had some game in him, but the Rangers weren’t willing to give up anything to get him.

They gave Cleveland $1 to make the trade. One freakin’ dollar. Had to be humbling to find that out.

— 15 or so years ago, there was a Little League team in the Dallas area that had both Trevor Story and Josh Bell on it. Imagine coaching that team? A freakin’ Little League team with two major leaguers on it. Must’ve been fun.

— Josiah Gray has started four games for the Washington Nationals this season; Washington scored a total of one run in losing all four games.

— The baseball they use in Japanese pro leagues is a quarter-ounce lighter than the ball they use in the major leagues. It is also slightly smaller, and it is stickier than the American baseball.

A’s 11, Angels 10 (10)
Oakland led 7-2 after five innings, but blew the lead.
A’s led 11-8 in 10th inning; they got Trout out with two men on to end the game.
Brent Rooker, Jesus Aguilar hit two homers each for Oakland; they hit back/back homers in two different innings.
Angels are now 0-7 in games where the winning run scores from the 7th inning on.

Braves 11, Marlins 0— Spencer Strider threw 7.1 no-hit innings; he struck out 13 of the 25 batters he faced.
Jean Segura got the first hit for Miami.
Strider’s grandmother turned 90 years old Monday; she was at the game, only the second time she’s seen him pitch in the big leagues.

Giants 4, Cardinals 0— Alex Cobb threw a complete game shutout, his first one since 2012; it has been 94 years since a guy tossed complete game shutouts that far apart.

Minnesota 6, New York 1— Bronx has a payroll of $272,559,898 this year; you would think their leadoff hitter would hit .200, hell, maybe even .250.

Brett Volpe batted leadoff the last six games; he is hitting .194. Analytics make people do some weird things.

Tampa Bay 8, Houston 3— Rays are 14-0 at home; they lead the AL East by 4.5 games.

Lakers 117, Memphis 111, OT
Lebron James scored 22 points, grabbed 20 rebounds, dished out 7 assists.
Grizzlies are now 2-15 ATS this season as a road underdog.
Lakers lead the series, 3-1

Heat 119, Bucks 114
Heat outscored Milwaukee 41-25 in 4th quarter.
Jimmy Butler scored 56 points for Miami.
Heat leads this series 3-1.

Seattle 3, Colorado 2 OT
Home team wins, the first time in three nights (1-11) the home team won a hockey game.
This series is tied 2-2.

Wednesday’s 6-pack

Fewest plays of 20+ yards last season:

43— Giants

46— Rams

49— Cardinals

50— Colts

51— Ravens

52— Saints, Steelers




Quote of the Day

“(Jalen) Carter is clearly a complicated prospect……..In mid-March, he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and racing……..he was sentenced to 12 months of probation and 80 hours of community service………he also showed up at his pro day nine pounds heavier than he was at the NFL combine, and he couldn’t finish the position drills……On the field, he is a fantastic prospect.”

Mel Kiper Jr, draft expert




Wednesday’s quiz

Before he was a pro wrestler and later an actor, Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson played college football. He was a defensive lineman at Miami, FL.




Tuesday’s quiz

Before he was a pro wrestler and later an actor, Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson played college football. He was a defensive lineman at Miami, FL.




Monday’s quiz

Last time the Detroit Lions won a playoff game, Troy Aikman was the other team’s quarterback, way back in 1991. Lions beat Dallas 38-6 that day.


***************************************
Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings………

— NFL teams use a thing called the S2 cognitive test to help evaluate quarterbacks in the draft; there are nine parts to it, which are graded separately, kind of like the SAT test we took in high school.

The measurements used in each section include a quarterback’s ability to track multiple objects, make complex decisions, and filter through if/then scenarios with different defensive scenarios — with an ability to improvise.

Someone released the scores from this year’s QB’s; Alabama’s Bryce Young, Fresno State’s Jake Haener did the best. NFL teams are all worth $4B or so each; not sure I’d choose the most important player for my $4B franchise because of his score on a cognitive test.

I have no freakin’ idea if these tests can predict NFL success; I’m thinking studying game film might work better, but the draft is a fascinating process and later this week, we’ll learn a lot more about all that stuff.

— 242 players declared for this year’s NBA Draft, down from 283 players last year, 353 the year before that. There are 48 international players in this year’s draft.

Here’s the thing: the NBA Draft is only two rounds. This year’s draft will have only 58 players taken, so 184 kids are going to be disappointed.

College players who withdraw from the draft and want to be eligible in college next fall must withdraw by Wednesday, May 31.

— Suns 136, Clippers 130— Phoenix wins series 4-1, advances to play……..

— Nuggets 112, Timberwolves 109— Jokic had 28 points, 17 rounds, 12 assists. Denver wins their series, also by 4-1 margin.

— Hawks 119, Celtics 117— Trae Young scored 38 points, dished out 13 assists. Boston still leads the series, 3-2, but they led this game by 10 after the third quarter, couldn’t close the series out.

— NBA playoff series are too long; no team has ever been down 3-0 in a series and won it; only three times ever have been down 3-0 and forced a Game 7. Series should be best-of-5.

— Good news/bad news for the Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday:
Good news— Pirates signed OF Bryan Reynolds to an 8-year, $106.75M contract, the biggest contract in Pirates’ history.

Bad news— Pirates led 7-3 after five innings, lost 8-7 at home to the Dodgers.

— Reds 7, Rangers 6— Texas led 6-1 in 8th inning, but Reds exploded for six runs in the bottom of the 8th; Jonathan India’s 2-run single was the game-winner.

— Giants 5, Cardinals 4— Blake Sabol hit a 2-run, walk-off homer in the bottom of the 9th; Giants scored three runs in the 9th, dropping St Louis to a disappointing 9-15 mark.

— Nationals 5, Mets 0— Mets played 17 of their first 23 games on the road; now they play 10 of their next 13 games at Citi Field.

— Astros 5, Rays 0— Tampa Bay finally loses a home game, after starting the season 14-0 at home. Luis Garcia tossed six shutout innings for Houston.

— Aaron Rodgers will wear number 8 with the Jets, the same number he wore in college with the Cal Bears. Jets retired #12 for Joe Namath a long time ago; Namath said Rodgers could wear number 12 if he wanted to, but Rodgers is smarter than that— don’t mess with a legend.

— Cincinnati Bengals picked up QB Joe Burrow’s 5th-year option; he’ll make at least $29.4M in 2024, unless they work out a much more lucrative deal before then.

— College quarterback happenings:
TCU lands experienced QB Chance Nolan from Oregon State; Nolan started 20 games for the Beavers, but left because Oregon State landed Clemson QB DJ Uiagalelei in the transfer portal.

Notre Dame QB Tyler Buchner entered the transfer portal; Notre Dame landed Wake Forest QB Sam Hartman in the portal, and these days, if a QB ain’t startin’, he’ll likely be departin’
