***************************
Rams’ first five drives: 23 plays, 51 yards, five punts
Rams’ last five drives: 45 plays, 218 yards, four field goals.
Steady rain in 2nd quarter; no rain in second half, until last 2:00
Rams won 44-42 last week, 12-6 this week.
Really good teams find different ways to win games.
Rams outgained San Francisco, 302-191; there were no TD’s in this game.
QB Stafford threw for 160 yards, 97 of them to WR Nucua.
RB Williams ran ball 29 times for 108 yards.
49ers completed only 14-31 passes (3.8 yards/attempt).
San Francisco has now lost four of its last five games.
— In a year where strange things keep happeniong, Bill Belichick is the new football coach at North Carolina, at age 72. Belichick won six Super Bowls as an NFL head coach; he has never coached in college. This is going to be very interesting.
— Iowa State 89, Iowa 80
Cyclones trailed 62-53 with 11:37 left in the game.
Both teams shot 11-28 on the arc.
ISU’s Jefferson was 10-12 on foul line; entire Iowa team was 13-15.
— Strange but true stat: So far this season, SEC basketball teams are 26-3 vs ACC teams.
— QB Tommy DeVito is starting at QB for the Giants this week against Baltimore; Drew Lock is in a walking boot.
Saints are giving Jake Haener his first NFL start this week, with Derek Carr hurt.
— QB transfer info:
QB Thomas Castellanos is bolting from Boston College to Florida State, where he will re-unite with FSU’s new offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, who coached Castellanos at UCF.
QB Connor Weigman is bolting from Texas A&M to Houston, which is 4-8 in its first season as a Big X team.
— Former UNLV coach Barry Odom is now the Purdue coach, after going 19-8 with the Rebels the last two seasons. Odom had previously gone 25-25 in four years at Missouri.
Purdue has some advantages that UNLV doesn’t; a strong alumni base led by former NFL star Drew Brees, a recently renovated stadium, other upgraded facilities and a reputation as a cradle of quarterbacks. UNLV has Allegiant Stadium, but not much of a football history.
Big 18 is also a much deeper pond than the Mountain West; Purdue has finished under .500 in 10 of their last 13 seasons.

— 1B/2B Spencer Horwitz had himself an eventful day Tuesday; first, the Blue Jays traded him to Cleveland, part of a 4-player deal.
Later that day, the Guardians traded him to Pittsburgh, for P Luis Ortiz and two prospects.
Horwitz played in 97 games for Toronto LY, hitting .265 with 12 home runs, and a .790 OPS. Not often a guy gets traded twice in the same day.
— Texas Rangers acquired 1B/3B Jake Burger from Miami, in exchange for three prospects; Burger hit .250 with 29 homers for the Marlins LY, with a .750 OPS.
He is expected to mostly be a DH for the Rangers.
— Unusual to read that 3B Nolan Arenado is asking off the St Louis Cardinals because he thinks they’re in decline; he has a no-trade clause in his contract, but supposedly will agree to be dealt to a contending team— he might even agree to move to first base.
Arenado is an 8-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glove winner who is entering his age-34 season and coming off his worst offensive year (.272/.325/.394) since his rookie season.
— White Sox traded P Garrett Crochet to Boston to four prospects, two of whom got a strong thumbs-up from MLB Network analyst/former Colorado GM Dan O’Dowd.
Catcher Kyle Teel, OF Braden Montgomery are the two prospects.
— Rule 5 Draft was this week: it is designed to prevent teams from stockpiling too many young players. Players not on a team’s 40-man roster can be chosen by other clubs.
If a player is chosen in the Rule 5 draft, the player must be kept on the selecting team’s major league active roster for the entire season that follows the draft, so the 15 guys taken this week will be in the big leagues this entire season.
11 of the 15 players chosen this week are pitchers.
— RIP George Kreske, better known as the Amazing Kreskin, who passed away this week at age 88; when I was a kid, Kreskin was a fixture on a lot of talk shows- he was on The Tonight Show 88 times.
Kreskin was a “mentalist”, kind of like a psychic; one of his best-known tricks was to find his own paycheck for his current performance.
If he did not find it, he didn’t get paid for that day. He would instruct the audience to hide an envelope containing his paycheck, while he was escorted off stage and into seclusion by other members of the audience. He then re-emerged and hunted through the audience, almost always being able to find where it was.
It was fun to watch his act, especially as a kid. RIP, sir.

Quote of the Day
“Baseball hasn’t forgotten me. I go to a lot of Old Timers’ games and I haven’t lost a thing. I sit in the bullpen and let people throw things at me, just like old times.”
Bob Uecker
Saturday’s quiz
Josh Harris owns the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers and the NHL’s New Jersey Devils; which NFL team does he own?
Friday’s quiz
In the history of the New York Knicks, Patrick Ewing has scored the most points.
Thursday’s quiz
Patrick Mahomes is the Kansas City Chiefs’ all-time leader in passing touchdowns.
*********************************************
Tucker has a career OPS of .870, hitting 112 homers the last four years; he is a free agent after next season.
— Cubs also added C Carson Kelly on a 2-year, $11.5M contract; Kelly has played most of his career with Arizona- he is .224 career hitter who is well thought of defensively.
— Milwaukee Brewers traded closer Devin Williams to Bronx for P Nestor Cortes and a prospect; New York apparently also tossed $4.5M in to complete the deal.
Williams had 36 saves in 2023, was hurt a lot of last year, had only 14 saves- he had a 1.25 ERA in his 21.2 IP last year.
Cortes was 9-10, 3.77 in 30 starts last year; he was 33-20, 3.61 in 84 starts for New York the last four seasons.
— Two short years ago, Juan Soto turned down a 15-year, $440M deal with Washington; now he has a 15-year contract worth $325M more than that.
— Nebraska 85, Indiana 68
Cornhuskers shot 62.9% inside arc, scored 1.23 points/possession.
Indiana is 2-3 vs top 100 teams; they shot 8-35 on the arc.
— Seattle Redhawks are bolting from the WAC to the WCC next year; Seattle is off to a slow 3-6 start this season, but the last three years, they were 66-35, 36-20 in WAC games.
— Bronny James played in his first road game in the G-League Thursday; he scored 30 points for the South Bay Lakers in a 106-100 loss to the Valley Suns. ,Lakers are 4-9, 0-6 on the road. Not really sure why James didn’t play in their first five road games.

— I’m not a fan of Thursday night NFL games; I think the product isn’t as good- football wasn’t meant to be played on three days’ rest.
Understood that NFL owners just want to wring as much $$$ as they can out of the TV system and Amazon is helping them with the Thursday package, but at same point, the quality of the product needs to matter.
I’d be in favor of Monday night NFL doubleheaders instead of Thursday games.
— As far as I can tell, there are seven teams playing in bowls this month who have changed head coaches, either firing theirs or having them move on to a different job.
Irony for $500, Alex: North Carolina’s bowl game is in Fenway Park, where a long time ago, the Patriots used to play home games. Bill Belichick is UNC’s new head coach; am guessing he’ll do the TV rounds to get publicity to help their recruiting.
— QB Hank Brown is bolting from Auburn to Iowa; he threw for 403 yards, six TD’s for Auburn this season. He has three years of eligibility left. Brown played high school ball at Lipscomb Academy in Tennessee, where his coach was former NFL QB Trent Dilfer.
— UNLV named ESPN analyst Dan Mullen its new football coach; he worked on ESPN the last three years (and was very good) after going 69-46 as the coach at Mississippi State, 34-15 at Florida. He has a 7-3 record in bowl games.
— Florida Atlantic named 33-year old Zach Kittley their new football coach; he is the youngest I-A head coach in the country. Kittley originally went to Abilene Christian to play basketball, but transferred to Texas Tech and worked as a student assistant to coach Sonny Cumbie, then became a grad assistant, where he worked with a QB named Patrick Mahomes.
He’s been Tech’s offensive coordinator the last three years. Red Raiders are 8-4 this season; they scored 56-52 points in their last two games.
— Kenny Dillingham is Arizona State’s 34-year old football coach; he started coaching when he was 17 years old, after tearing his ACL in high school. ASU is 11-2 this season and won the Big X title in their first year in the league.
2007-12- Chaparral HS, QB coach

“Baseball hasn’t forgotten me. I go to a lot of Old Timers’ games and I haven’t lost a thing. I sit in the bullpen and let people throw things at me, just like old times.”
Bob Uecker

*********************************************
Saturday’s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind……..
— Houston Astros traded OF Kyle Tucker to the Cubs Friday, for 3B/1B Isaac Paredes, P Hayden Wesneski and IF prospect Cam Smith.Tucker has a career OPS of .870, hitting 112 homers the last four years; he is a free agent after next season.
— Cubs also added C Carson Kelly on a 2-year, $11.5M contract; Kelly has played most of his career with Arizona- he is .224 career hitter who is well thought of defensively.
— Milwaukee Brewers traded closer Devin Williams to Bronx for P Nestor Cortes and a prospect; New York apparently also tossed $4.5M in to complete the deal.
Williams had 36 saves in 2023, was hurt a lot of last year, had only 14 saves- he had a 1.25 ERA in his 21.2 IP last year.
Cortes was 9-10, 3.77 in 30 starts last year; he was 33-20, 3.61 in 84 starts for New York the last four seasons.
— Two short years ago, Juan Soto turned down a 15-year, $440M deal with Washington; now he has a 15-year contract worth $325M more than that.
— Nebraska 85, Indiana 68
Cornhuskers shot 62.9% inside arc, scored 1.23 points/possession.
Indiana is 2-3 vs top 100 teams; they shot 8-35 on the arc.
— Seattle Redhawks are bolting from the WAC to the WCC next year; Seattle is off to a slow 3-6 start this season, but the last three years, they were 66-35, 36-20 in WAC games.
— Bronny James played in his first road game in the G-League Thursday; he scored 30 points for the South Bay Lakers in a 106-100 loss to the Valley Suns. ,Lakers are 4-9, 0-6 on the road. Not really sure why James didn’t play in their first five road games.

— I’m not a fan of Thursday night NFL games; I think the product isn’t as good- football wasn’t meant to be played on three days’ rest.
Understood that NFL owners just want to wring as much $$$ as they can out of the TV system and Amazon is helping them with the Thursday package, but at same point, the quality of the product needs to matter.
I’d be in favor of Monday night NFL doubleheaders instead of Thursday games.
— As far as I can tell, there are seven teams playing in bowls this month who have changed head coaches, either firing theirs or having them move on to a different job.
Irony for $500, Alex: North Carolina’s bowl game is in Fenway Park, where a long time ago, the Patriots used to play home games. Bill Belichick is UNC’s new head coach; am guessing he’ll do the TV rounds to get publicity to help their recruiting.
— QB Hank Brown is bolting from Auburn to Iowa; he threw for 403 yards, six TD’s for Auburn this season. He has three years of eligibility left. Brown played high school ball at Lipscomb Academy in Tennessee, where his coach was former NFL QB Trent Dilfer.
— UNLV named ESPN analyst Dan Mullen its new football coach; he worked on ESPN the last three years (and was very good) after going 69-46 as the coach at Mississippi State, 34-15 at Florida. He has a 7-3 record in bowl games.
— Florida Atlantic named 33-year old Zach Kittley their new football coach; he is the youngest I-A head coach in the country. Kittley originally went to Abilene Christian to play basketball, but transferred to Texas Tech and worked as a student assistant to coach Sonny Cumbie, then became a grad assistant, where he worked with a QB named Patrick Mahomes.
He’s been Tech’s offensive coordinator the last three years. Red Raiders are 8-4 this season; they scored 56-52 points in their last two games.
— Kenny Dillingham is Arizona State’s 34-year old football coach; he started coaching when he was 17 years old, after tearing his ACL in high school. ASU is 11-2 this season and won the Big X title in their first year in the league.
