Saturday?s List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here??
13) First time the Eagles played in the Super Bowl, 36 years ago, the tickets cost $40. Now you can add a couple zeroes to the end of that.
12) Lot of big-time money-line bets on the Eagles this week; as of 4pm Friday. CG Technology said it had a 7-figure liability on the Eagles? money line. Interesting.
Just can?t envision someone taking $700,000 and betting on New England to lose SU, but that is what makes gambling so fascinating? you and I look at the same things in different ways.
11) NCAA is investigating UConn?s basketball program, so speculation can begin on who will take Kevin Ollie?s job. Huskies are struggling badly, so Ollie will get told to take a hike pretty soon, if there is anything at all to the NCAA?s probe.
If he was winning, they?d take a deep breath and stay the course.
There is no real logical successor at UConn; Steve Pikiell? Jim Calhoun worked wonders in the Nutmeg State? it wasn?t a very good job before he took it.
10) College football coaches are nomads: Dan Enos was the offensive coordinator at Arkansas the last three years, but the Razorbacks changed coaches, so Enos signed on with Michigan Jan 8th, but this week, Enos quit and will now be the quarterbacks? coach at Alabama.
Seeing how Alabama?s football program turned a $45M profit LY, they can pay their coaches really, really well and with a freshman and sophomore QB battling for playing time next fall, Nick Saban needs a QB coach who can develop at least one of them? chances are one will also transfer, eventually.
9) When Dick Vermeil took the Eagles? head coaching job in 1976, he took a family vote on whether to move from UCLA to the Eagles? he was the only person to vote yes. That must have been a fun first couple of years, when the kids were cold as hell in winter and the team sucked.
Everything turned out well; the Eagles wound up in the Super Bowl, then coach Vermeil retired and went into TV work? he stayed in TV for 14 years before coaching the Rams, by which time his kids were all grown up.
8) TNT announcers were killing the Washington Wizards during their first half of their game in Oklahoma City Thursday night; phrases like ?Going through the motions? and ?Maybe they should have another team meeting? were heard more than once. All this and the Wizards are tied for 5th seed in the East.
All this drama surrounding NBA teams lately, and most of it involving good teams; what the hell must the bad teams be like? They must really hate playing with each other.
7) Billy Donovan has gone from being one of the best college basketball coaches in the country to coaching the Oklahoma City Thunder, one of the NBA?s better teams. I?d love to know if he enjoys it, or if he would ever go back to coaching in college? I?m just curious, thats all.
6) If someone doesn?t name a racehorse ?Secret Society? this summer, I?m going to be very disappointed. Catchy name.
5) Stormy Daniels will be on the Jimmy Kimmel Show Tuesday night, after the State of the Union address. Asking for a friend: when was the last time a porn star/escort was a guest on a network TV talk show? Again, I?m just curious.
4) Former NFL QB Tarvaris Jackson signed up to be a graduate assistant football coach at Alabama State? he hopes to coach in the NFL someday. He played 10 years in the NFL.
3) The Earth doesn?t take 24 hours to rotate the sun; it takes 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds.
2) Pelicans beat Houston last night, but DeMarcus Cousins limped off with an achilles injury late in the game and it didn?t look good. New Orleans has been on a roll lately, was moving up the ladder in the Western Conference, but if this is a serious injury, then sayonara to that.
1) Miami Marlins? GM Michael Hill is going to try to run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days starting next week, which takes him off the grid. No wonder the Marlins always suck; when baseball isn?t your GM?s priority just before spring training starts, what do you expect?
But hey, the guy went to Harvard, so who cares if he is running a marathon in Antartica when someone wants to call about a potential trade for JT Realmuto?
