Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but……..

13) NFL scouting isn’t easy; front office types make big money, with their decisions largely deciding whether teams win or lose.

With that in mind, here are QB’s taken in the 2012 NFL Draft:
Round 1 (1st pick): A. Luck – retired, played 86 games
1 (2): Robert Griffin III- Ravens’ backup
1 (8): Ryan Tannehill – Titans’ backup
1 (22): Brandon Weeden – out of football
Round 2 (57): Brock Osweiler – out of football

3 (75): Russell Wilson – Super Bowl champ
3 (88): Nick Foles – Super Bowl MVP
4 (102): Kirk Cousins – Vikings’ starter, makes $28M a year

Undrafted: Case Keenum— Redskins’ starter
Kellen Moore- Cowboys’ offensive coordinator

12) Golfers Dustin Johnson/Lucas Glover tied for last at the TOUR Championship Sunday; they both went home wth a check for $400,000. Pretty solid consolation prize.

11) Robbie Ray threw five shutout innings in Arizona’s 5-2 win in Milwaukee Sunday; he faced 21 batters, threw 103 pitches, which is an awful lot for a guy who didn’t allow a run. Usually the average pitches per batter is 3.6 or 3.7, not 5.0+.

10) Major League ballfields need more 8-foot high outfield fences; the most exciting play in baseball is an outfielder trying to rob the hitter of a home run.

9) Off the top of my bald head, I‘m thinking that the Broncos, Colts, Vikings will all be bucking the NFL’s pass-happy trend and will try to run the ball more this season.

Vic Fangio and Mike Zimmer are defensive coaches; defensive guys like to run the ball to protect their defense. Indianapolis is breaking Jacoby Brissett in as the new QB; they’ll try and lighten his load by depending on their improved offensive line and moving the ball on the ground.

8) Remember the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and the kid with the Detroit Red Wings’ jersey who was Ferris’ friend? Haven’t seen that actor in 33 years that I know of, but he showed up on my TV in the HBO series Succession, which is about a horrendous bunch of rich people.

He wears a suit now, instead of the Gordie Howe jersey.

7) Baseball stuff:
— A’s DFA’d OF Nick Martini, brought up OF Seth Brown from AAA.
— A’s also put OF Stephen Piscotty (ankle) on the IL.

6) Why would FOX hire Urban Meyer as a studio analyst? The man has no personality, seems incapable of humor. He was awful analyzing games on ESPN. Don’t understand this.

5) I wonder if dogs enjoy having their pictures taken as much as it looks like they’re enjoying it.

4) Kansas City Chiefs signed QB Matt Moore to back up Patrick Mahomes; Chad Henne broke his ankle last weekend, so KC needed a solid backup, and Moore is that.

3) Over the last 25 months:
— Baltimore Ravens are 12-0 in exhibition games, Atlanta is 0-12.
— Ravens are 19-14 in regular season/playoffs; Atlanta is 18-16.

Some teams just try harder to win preseason games.

2) We talk about this too much now: “If I ain’t startin’, then I’ll be departin’…..’”

Sophomore QB Jake Haener wasn’t going to be Washington’s starter this year, so he will now transfer. Haener is from Danville, CA; his mom and grandfather both went to college at Washington, but he will leave the Huskies, sit this year out and be eligible to play wherever he goes in both 2020 and 2021. Hard to impress NFL scouts by sitting on the bench.

Washington’s new QB is Jacob Eason, who bolted to Seattle because he didn’t win the starting job at Georgia (sound familiar?)

1) Turns out that OJ Simpson is in a fantasy football league, and he drafted Andrew Luck an hour before the retirement story broke. Whoops.
