Armadillo: Tuesday's Den: Nobody asked me, but??

13) An ethical question to start off today: if you owned an NFL team (an average NFL team is worth $3B), and your team had the worst record in the league in December, would you to tell the coach to make sure the squad kept losing, to make sure you get the #1 pick in the draft?

Drafting Trevor Lawrence will sell a lot of tickets, when fans can go to games again; trading the first pick would bring a back a big haul of draft picks, which would fill a lot of holes that a bad team obviously has.

Lot of money at stake; these conversations would have been interesting to hear.

12) CBS analyst/former NFL QB Rich Gannon had the Bears-Jaguars game Sunday; he was very critical of the Jacksonville coaches as Chicago pulled ahead and routed the Jaguars, but it has to be a possibility that Doug Marrone was doing his job, making sure Jacksonville lost and clinched the #1 pick in the draft, which they did Sunday.

For the long-term success of the Jaguars, having that #1 pick is probably the best way for them to become good again.

11) An unnamed someone bet $500,000 on the Carolina Panthers? money line Sunday; that person mustn?t think much of Dwayne Haskins as a quarterback. Panthers won 20-13, and the gambler had a big day, just in time, too. Washington released Haskins Monday.

It takes a lot of onions to wager $500,000 on the Panthers to win straight up- they had lost eight of their previous nine games.

10) Haskins was Washington first round draft pick LAST YEAR, the 15th pick in the draft, and they freakin? cut him before his second year was over, making him the only QB in the last 20 years who was drafted in the first round, then cut before his second year was over.

Four 1st round QBs in the last twenty years were traded/cut after their second year in the NFL: Paxton Lynch, Johnny Manziel, Josh Rosen and Brandon Weeden.

9) Mike Glennon played QB for Jacksonville Sunday; he?s had a nomadic career:
2009-12: NC State, started last two years, replacing Russell Wilson
2013-16: Tampa Bay- Was 5-13 as a starter, with 30 TD?s, 15 INTs
2017: Chicago- Went 1-3 as a starter, with 4 TD?s, 5 INT?s
2018: Arizona- Threw 21 passes in two relief stints.
2019: Oakland: Threw 10 passes in two relief stints.
2020: Jacksonville: 0-4 as a starter, with 5 TD?s, 5 INT?s

6-20 as a starter, still making seven figures a year ($1.19M this year)

8) Was a little odd Sunday, watching NFL games on the dish, and CBS get doing promos for the Ball State-San Jose State bowl game, but both teams have really good years. San Jose is actually undefeated; good for them!!!

7) Baseball stuff:
? Texas Rangers signed Japanese P Kohei Arihara.
? San Diego signed Korean IF Ha-seong Kim

6) RIP to Phil Niekro, the knuckleballer pitcher who won 318 games in a 24-year career, mostly for the Braves. Niekro pitched until he was 48 years old; he passed away this weekend. RIP, sir.

5) College hoop scores of note:
? Maryland 70, Wisconsin 64
? Drake 66, Indiana State 63 (Drake is 11-0)
? Evansville 84, Southern Illinois 72

4) In their 52-33 win over Minnesota Christmas Day, the Saints had 11 first downs on their first 14 plays, which is incredibly bad defense by the Vikings (and good offense by the Saints).

52 points the Saints scored are the most points the Vikings gave up since 1963, when the Cardinals drilled them 56-14.

3) Rams? QB Jared Goff had his broken right thumb surgically repaired Monday, is out for this week?s game with Arizona. Backup QB John Wolford will get his first NFL start; he started for four years at Wake Forest, then played for the Arizona Hotshots in the AAF in 2018- they were 5-3 when the league stopped playing, and Wolford was leading the league in TD passes.

2) Minnesota Timberwolves? star Karl-Anthony Towns dislocated his left wrist, will be evaluated every week. Timberwolves are obviously hoping for a short absence for their star.

Nets? Spencer Dinwiddie partially tore his ACL, is out for the season.

1) Bills 38, New England 9
? Bills sweep New England for first time since 1999.
? Buffalo won eight of last eight games, covered last seven.
? Bills outscored last six opponents 128-61 in first half.
? Over is 11-4 in their games this season.

? New England lost last three games, are out of playoffs for first time since ?08.
? Last three games, Patriots scored only one touchdown.
? Patriots converted only 9 of last 34 third down plays.
? This was Buffalo?s 7th win in last 42 series games.

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

Wednesday?s Den: Mid-week musings??

13) Buffalo Bills? QB Josh Allen is having a great season, which makes college football recruiting gurus look even dumber. Recruiting/drafting are fascinating, because no one KNOWS. They THINK they know, but no one knows for sure.

When Allen was coming out of Reedley College, a JC in California, he got two scholarship offers; Eastern Michigan and Wyoming. Now he?s an All-Pro quarterback; go figure.

12) Washington told QB Dwayne Haskins to take a hike Monday, then he went unclaimed on the waiver wire. SOMEONE will take a chance on him; he was a first-round draft pick last year, so someone will take a shot at developing him as a QB of the future. Good luck there.

? It is an underreported thing how many totally obscure guys are backup QBs in the NFL:

11) John Wolford is making his NFL debut when he starts for the Rams Sunday; he started for four years at Wake Forest, starting as a true freshman, which ain?t easy. He went 15-11 the last two years at a school that isn?t a football factory. Not a lot of QB?s are 4-year college starters.

Wolford also played for the Arizona Hotshots in the AAF in the spring of 2018; he was leading the AAF in touchdown passes when the league shut down. Rick Neuheisel was his coach, an old QB himself. Wolford is mobile; will be fascinating to see how he does Sunday.

10) Rams have other issues; two of their three running backs have ankle injuries, WR Cooper Kupp is on the COVID list (status unknown). LA signed QB Blake Bortles to back up Wolford.

9) Social media is funny; people are so damn fickle; everyone is either great or needs to be cut, no middle ground. The typical fan is like ?We?re with you win or tie and we aren?t crazy about ties?

But when I woke up Tuesday morning, and I?m scrolling thru Instagram, someone had posted these film packages on Wolford playing in the AAF? I probably saw 30-40 of his plays, which was interesting.

8) Arizona Cardinals? backup QB is Chris Streveler, who helped the Winnipeg Blue Bombers win the Grey Cup before coming to Arizona; he played college ball at Minnesota for two years, where he threw 11 passes, ran ball 40 times, before he transferred to I-AA South Dakota. Reading about him, he seems like the Taysom Hill of Canada; he played some WR for Winnipeg.

7) Tennessee Titans? backup QB is Logan Woodside, who was a 3-year starter at Toledo; he?s thrown three passes this season, landing with Tennessee after hanging around with the Bengals for a while in 2018.

6) Seattle?s backup is Geno Smith, who went 12-19 as a starter in New Jersey. Smith had a great college career at West Virginia, where his WR?s were Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey, both of whom wound up with the Rams (Austin is with Green Bay now).

5) I?m going to do a whole thing pretty soon on how Ohio State quarterbacks have fared in the NFL; the results, up to now, have not been good. Justin Fields could turn the whole thing around, but so far, the best Buckeye to play QB in the NFL seems to be Joe Burrow, who transferred out of Columbus and starred at LSU.

4) NFL stuff:
? Washington outscored its last ten opponents in 2nd half (total 152-44)
? Last three weeks, Buffalo outscored opponents 58-14 in second half.
? Last three weeks, New England was outscored 43-6 in second half.

3) Until couple days ago, I had no idea that Ron Reiner was the director of A Few Good Men, which is a great movie. I usually associate the Reiner family with comedies, but that movie is no comedy. The courtroom scene at the end with Jack Nicholson is a classic.

2) Oklahoma State 37, Miami 34:
? OSU stormed out to a 21-0 lead, had to hang on for dear life.
? WR Presley caught six passes for 118 yards, three TD?s for the Cowboys.
? Miami QB King (knee) got hurt in 2nd quarter, didn?t return.
? Backup QB Perry threw for 228 yards, two TD?s; Miami gained 512 yards.

1) Alamo Bowl was in San Antonio last night; I was in San Antonio for a couple days, maybe in 2003, anyway it was a while ago, but San Antonio is a cool place. There is a river that goes right thru part of the city, and they have restaurants with patios where you can sit by the water on either side and watch boats go by while you eat.

The actual Alamo is very small; it looks like an old convenience store. People were nice enough, I enjoyed my brief time there. Should?ve gone during basketball season, I guess.
