*****************************************
— Long time ago, 41 years ago, I lived in an apartment in downtown Albany with six friends of mine; I had just graduated college and was working midnight-to-8am for NY State- the other six guys were still in college, at UAlbany.
At one point during the year, two pieces of paper were taped on the dining room wall; one was the NBA’s “1 Club”, NBA players who scored one point in a game. Doesn’t happen that much; for example, this past Wednesday night, in nine NBA games, two guys scored one point; Cam Payne and Oscar Tshiebwe (it was Tshiebwe’s first-ever NBA point).
— The other list was called “Square Pegs”, named after an obscure TV show that was on for only one season back then. Square Pegs were people who did something unusual/funny; the seven of us would vote on whether a person was a Square Peg or not.
This is 41 years ago, I can’t remember all the details, but one of the first Square Pegs was a guy named Curtis Sharp, who hit the lottery for $5M, back when they first started the lottery.
It was a big deal; they had a news conference, and Curtis Sharp shows up, with his wife AND his girlfriend!!!! The three of them were yukking it up, they were all rich, and Curtis Sharp was one of the first Square Pegs.
I’m trying to think of who would be a Square Peg today; we didn’t vote that many people in, but I’m thinking that Tommy DeVito’s agent would definitely get on the list.
— Random Square Pegs trivia; on the actual TV show, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jami Gertz were two of the stars, while Bill Murray, Tony Dow (Wally Cleaver on Leave it to Beaver) and Jerry Seinfeld were all in an episode or two.
— Raiders 63, Chargers 21
Chargers trailed this game 42-0 at halftime, a dismal performance.
Bolts are 0-5 ATS in last five games as an underdog.
LA is 1-7 ATS TY in games with spread of 3 or fewer points.
Chargers are 4-9-1 ATS in last 14 AFC West road games.
Raiders are first team since 1950 to have 8 different players score a TD.
Raiders scored two defensive TD’s in the second half.
Las Vegas is 8-3 ATS in last 11 games as a home favorite (4-1 TY)
Only 2nd time all season Raiders went over their team total.
This is the same Raiders team that lost 3-0 at home last week.
— By the time you read this, Brandon Staley might not be the Chargers’ coach anymore; this was as putrid a performance as I’ve seen an NFL team have.
— RIP to basketball star George McGinnis, who passed away this week at age 73; he was a 3-time ABA All-Star and a 3-time NBA All-Star who was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2017. He is one of four Indiana Pacers to have his number retired.
A sturdy power forward, McGinnis scored over 17,000 points in his pro career; he led the ABA in free throws taken three years in a row, grabbed 10+ rebounds/game seven years in a row.
RIP, sir.
— Word of the Day: Debacle- a complete failure.
— College football bowl games start Saturday; here is some quick knowledge on how the conferences break down, bowl-wise:
AAC- six teams in bowls, four of them are underdogs.
ACC- 11 teams in bowls, six of them are underdogs.
Big X- nine teams in bowls, seven of them are favored.
Big 14- nine teams in bowls, six of them are underdogs.
Conference USA- four teams in bowls, 2 favorites, 2 underdogs.
MAC- six teams in bowls, all of them are underdogs.
Mountain West- seven teams in bowls, four of them are underdogs.
Pac-12- eight teams in bowls, four of them are underdogs.
SEC- nine teams in bowls, six of them are favored.
Sun Belt- 12 teams in bowls (12!!!!), eight of them are favored.
— Dodgers acquired P Tyler Glasnow and OF Manuel Margot from Tampa Bay; Glasnow has to sign a contract extension for the deal to go thru, but that is expected to happen.
In return, Tampa Bay gets P Ryan Pepiot and a minor league outfielder.
Glasnow has thrown 100+ innings in only two of his eight major league seasons; he threw a career high 120 IP last year, going 10-7, 3.53.
— Detroit Tigers signed P Jack Flaherty to a one-year, $14M contract; he was 8-9, 4.99 in 27 starts last year, for the Cardinals/Orioles.
Texas Rangers signed P Tyler Mahle for two years, $22M; Mahle had Tommy John surgery last May, won’t be ready to pitch until the middle part of the ’24 season.
— Portland Trailblazers were favored over Utah Thursday, the first time this season they’ve been favored, the last NBA team to be favored in a game this season. Celtics are the only team that hasn’t been an underdog this season.
— NFL teams who have gone under the total the most this season:
Vikings and Steelers have both gone under 10 of 13 games; Raiders/Chargers had also gone under in 10 of 13 games, until Thursday night’s debacle.
— There are six teams tied for the last playoff spot in the AFC, with 7-6 records; there might be tie-breakers involved by the time we get to Week 18.
— Cleveland Browns signed QB Joe Flacco to a contract for the rest of this season, getting him off the taxi squad; Flacco has thrown for 565 yards in two games, with 5 TDs, 2 INT’s.
Browns’ kicker Dustin Hopkins is 8-for-8 this season on field goals of 50+ yards.
— Remember last week, when there was a private jet flying from Anaheim to Toronto, and people thought Shohei Ohtani was flying to Canada to sign with the Blue Jays?
Turns out it was Canadian businessman Robert Herjavec on that jet; apparently he is on that Shark Tank TV show with Mark Cuban. Have never seen the show, but he must be really rich, if he rents private planes.

Quote of the Day
“These decisions are never easy, nor are they something I take lightly — especially when you consider the number of people they impact. We are clearly not where we expect to be, however, and we need new vision. Doing nothing in the name of continuity was not a risk I was willing to take. Our fans have stood strong through so many ups and downs and close games. They deserve more. Frankly, they’ve earned more.”
