Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but..........
13) Stephen Drew and Adrian Beltre both hit for the cycle, first time two players hit for cycle on same day since Sept 17, 1920.
12) Tremendous coaching job by Neuheisel/Chow Monday, as far as keeping QB Craft's head together after he was dreadful in first half vs Tennessee. Craft looked like a different kid in the second half, as UCLA-Tennessee turned into great game.
11) Vols (7-1), Bruins (6-1) were a combined 13-2 in OT games, with both teams losing in 2000. Have to feel for the Tennessee kicker, whose 34-yard miss was kicked straight as an arrow, but the kick was from an angle. The kid made a 47-yard FG to force overtime, but now he's the goat. Sports can be tough.
10) All of which underlines one of my pet peeves about college football; the SEC, Pac-10, two best conferences, haven't met in a bowl game since after the 1989 season. Totally ridiculous.
9) Official scorer in CC Sabathia's one-hitter in Pittsburgh was all wet giving Adam Laroche a hit Sunday. Laroche was in 0-15 slump; there are political considerations, since he was part of the Jason Bay trade, but Laroche is not a fast runner, and in no way should that have been a hit. Hometown scoring. Not good
8) Google "Sarah Heath, sportscaster" and you can see the VP candidate giving Iditarod and college basketball results back in 1988. What genius let this person get out of the TV business?
7) At this point, NY Giants have two QBs, Jets have four. Jets need to realize the Ratliff kid is better than Ainge. Why in the name of Don Majkowski would Favre's team need four QBs?
6) Colts will struggle with Manning not 100% and their center Saturday out for six weeks. Indy has top-heavy roster with few really high-paid stars and whole lot of unproven players.
5) Packers lost their long snapper last week, were trying out a few new ones on Monday; doesn't sound like much, but it will next Monday, if their game with Vikings is a close one.
4) How good can Shawne Merriman possibly play with a pair of torn knee ligaments? Who is he helping by playing?
3) Kansas' basketball team, with ton of new players, went up to Canada this weekend and beat Carleton U, best college hoop program in Canada, 84-83 in front of 7,000 fans in the arena that the NHL's Ottawa Senators call home. Good experience for KU.
2) Vijay Singh won another golf tournament; looks like he'll be getting a $10M check pretty soon.
1) Before Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans had a population of 485,000; now, it is roughly 275,000; not to be rude, but why in the name of Al Roker would anyone choose to live there?
