Brief Add-on posted up top by noon, Tuesday.
NBA Quiz: We haven’t had a repeat champion since the Warriors in 2016-17, 2017-18. Name the last seven champions since. Answer below.
World Series
It was assumed the Dodgers, who had been so dominant this postseason, would easily handle the Toronto Blue Jays for their second consecutive World Series title.
But Friday night, the pesky Blue Jays got to starter Blake Snell and, led by the first pinch-hit grand slam in Fall Class history off the bat of Addison Barger, part of a nine-run sixth inning, Toronto thrilled their fans with an 11-4 win in Game 1.
Alejandro Kirk followed Barger’s blast with a two-run homer of his own, the nine runs the most in an inning in the World Series since Detroit against St. Louis in 1968.
“Just madness,” Barger said.
Snell, who was virtually unhittable his last six starts of both the regular and postseason, two hits in his last 14 innings in the playoffs, was reached for five runs in five innings, 100 pitches. And the Dodger bullpen obviously didn’t get the job done.
The Blue Jays struck out the second-fewest of any team in baseball this year, and only four times Friday night. That’s their identity, put the ball in play, and they do have some guys with pop in the lineup.
On to Game 2, Saturday…and it was a brilliant pitchers’ duel between Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers and the Blue Jays’ Kevin Gausman, 1-1 after six.
But in the top of the seventh, L.A.’s Will Smith and Max Muncy went yard off Gausman, the Dodgers would increase the lead to 5-1 in the eighth, and the rest was all Yamamoto, going the distance for a second consecutive playoff game, a feat last accomplished by Curt Schilling in 2001, with Atlanta’s Tom Glavine the last to do it including a World Series game.
Yamamoto threw 105 pitches, allowing four hits, no walks, struck out 8, retiring the last 20 batters he faced. He singlehandedly is bringing back a golden age of pitching.
On to Game 3, in Los Angeles, Monday.
–Meanwhile, the San Francisco Giants created some waves with the hiring of University of Tennessee coach Tony Vitello as their manager on Wednesday for his first job in professional baseball.
San Francisco president of baseball operations Buster Posey made an unprecedented gamble on a coach with no previous experience in the pros. The 47-year-old Vitello will make the jump after spending his entire career in the college ranks.
“Tony is one of the brightest, most innovative and most respected coaches in college baseball today,” Posey said. “Throughout our search, Tony’s leadership, competitiveness and commitment to developing players stood out.”
Posey said the Giants look forward to the energy and direction Vitello brings, given that his passion for baseball aligns with the club’s values.
Vitello guided the Volunteers to regular season success in the SEC since being hired in June 2017. That included leading the program to its first NCAA title last year to go with six regional appearances, five NCAA super regional berths and three College World Series trips.
He’s had 10 players from Tennessee selected in the first round and 52 Vols overall in MLB’s draft. Among those is Giants outfielder Drew Gilbert.
The Giants missed the playoffs for a fourth straight year.
Posey is taking a route once tapped by the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys with Miami Hurricanes coach Jimmy Johnson in 1989. That worked out with Johnson winning two Super Bowl championships in 1992 and 1993 during a Hall of Fame career.
I hope Vitello succeeds.
College Football
With No. 1 Ohio State idle this weekend, 2 Indiana (8-0) will pick up more first-place votes following an impressive 56-6 takedown of UCLA (3-5). The Bruins, who started 0-4, then ripped off wins over Penn State, Michigan State and Maryland, so this was thought to be another good test for the Hoosiers…as in just how good are they? And they have answered that question again in resounding fashion.
Brothers Fernando and Alberto Mendoza combined for five touchdowns, both rushing and passing.
3 Texas A&M (8-0) may have buried 20 LSU’s Brian Kelly as the Tigers (5-3) fell to the Aggies 49-25, the home fans crying for Kelly to be fired. He has at least three losses in all four seasons in Baton Rouge, but he also has a $53 million buyout.
4 Alabama (7-1) got all it could handle on the road at South Carolina (3-5), Bama prevailing 29-22, Germie Bernard with two late touchdown runs, including a 25-yard scamper for the deciding TD with 0:34 in the game; South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers with a costly fumble leading to the winning score.
6 Oregon (7-1) had a very unimpressive 21-7 win over a lousy Wisconsin (2-6) squad, and the Ducks could fall a notch.
7 Georgia Tech is 8-0, 41-16 over Syracuse (3-5), as Haynes King should be picking up more Heisman consideration, King with a 25/31, 304, 3-0 day through the air, plus 91 yards and two touchdowns on the ground…he was essentially the whole show yet again for the Yellow Jackets.
8 Ole Miss (7-1) is playoff bound following a big 34-26 road win at 13 Oklahoma (6-2). The Rebels have a very favorable schedule the rest of the way.
9 Miami (6-1) rebounded from its loss to Louisville with a 42-7 win over Stanford (3-5).
10 Vanderbilt (7-1) is off to its best start since 1941 and could be playoff bound following a good 17-10 win over 15 Missouri (6-2), Vandy now with three wins against Top 25 teams.
11 BYU (8-0) continues to fly under the radar, 41-27 at Iowa State (5-3), picking off the Cyclones’ Rocco Becht three times, including a pick-six.
14 Texas Tech (7-1) whipped pathetic Oklahoma State (1-7) 42-0.
North Carolina (2-5) for the second straight week suffered a heartbreaking loss, 17-16 in overtime to 16 Virginia (7-1), despite outgaining the Cavaliers 353-259.
Alas, Bill Belichick’s boys had three turnovers and missed the 2-point conversion in OT.
But at least the team is competing, despite all the turmoil surrounding the program.
17 Tennessee (6-2) took care of business, 56-34 over Kentucky (2-5), as Joey Aguilar had a super day, 20/26, 396, 3-0, with three receivers each having 100 yards+.
18 South Florida (6-2) had a tough loss on the road at Memphis (7-1) 34-31, the Tigers down 31-17 after three quarters before a rousing comeback that could propel Memphis to the Group of Five bid for the CFP.
19 Louisville (6-1) beat surprisingly bad Boston College (1-7) 38-24.
21 Cincinnati (7-1) beat Baylor (4-4) 41-20 and is rather shockingly atop the Big 12 title race at 5-0, same as BYU.
22 Texas (6-2) needed overtime to defeat Mississippi State (4-4) 45-38, as Arch Manning had his moments, 29/46, 346, 3-1.
But he was injured on the first play of OT and it was backup Matthew Caldwell who entered and threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Emmett Mosley for the win. Manning has an apparent upper-body injury.
Texas was down 31-14 after three before staging an impressive comeback, that included a 79-yard punt return for a touchdown by Ryan Niblett.
Houston (7-1) is very much in the Big 12 race, 34-26 over No. 24 Arizona State.
And 25 Michigan (6-2) beat Michigan State (3-5) 32-20.
In other games of note, Rutgers (4-4) got a much-needed ‘W’ at Purdue (2-6) 27-24 for the Scarlet Knights’ first Big Ten win.
Navy (7-0) will finally be ranked, at least they should, 42-32 over Florida Atlantic (3-5), as Blake Horvath rushed 21 times for 174 yards and four touchdowns. He’ll pick up a few Heisman votes. And Navy is very much in the CFP race, atop the American Conference.
Pitt is in the ACC title chase, 6-2, 4-1, following a 53-34 win over North Carolina State (4-4), as Mason Heintschel threw for 423 yards and three touchdowns, the Panthers winning four straight.
And then there is Wake Forest. As one scribe who writes a weekly football roundup put it, “shockingly decent Wake Forest.” The Deacs, despite five turnovers, including two fumbles at the SMU (5-3) 5-yard line, defeated the Mustangs in Winston-Salem, 13-12.
With 1:52 to play and Wake down 12-10, the Deacs were at the SMU 5, setting up the winning field goal, when our star, Demond Claiborne, fumbled it away.
But Wake had one timeout left and held SMU, forcing a punt. The Deacs fielded it at their 42, just 12 seconds to play.
And then Deshwan Purdie threw a 25-yard pass to backup tight end Kamrean Johnson to the SMU 33, the clock stops briefly on the first down, and the Deacs were able to spike it, 0:04 left. Freshman kicker Connor Calvert, who new coach Jake Dickert brought with him from Washington State, then barely cleared the crossbar on a 50-yard field goal for the dramatic win. Wow.
This game was nuts and included four turnovers in the final minute of the first half, none resulting in points.
Dickert and the shockingly decent Deacs are 5-2! For us to play in a bowl game would be massive for the team. Expectations were zero at the start of the season.
Equally shocking is the Wake defense. SMU was a playoff team last season, and they have the same quarterback, and the Mustangs had scored 30+ points coming in off wins against Syracuse, Stanford and Clemson. It was SMU’s first loss in ACC play after 11 straight on joining the conference.
–And the new AP Poll!
- Ohio State (54) 7-0
2. Indiana (11…up five) 8-0
3. Texas A&M (1) 8-0
4. Alabama 7-1
5. Georgia 6-1
6. Oregon 7-1
7. Mississippi 7-1
8. Georgia Tech 8-0
9. Vanderbilt 7-1…highest ranking since 1937.
T-10. Miami 6-1
T-10. BYU 8-0
12. Notre Dame 5-2…very favorable schedule rest of the way, Mark R.
13. Texas Tech 7-1
14. Tennessee 6-2
15. Virginia 7-1
16. Louisville 6-1
17. Cincinnati 7-1
18. Oklahoma 6-2
19. Missouri 6-2
20. Texas 6-2
21. Michigan 6-2
22. Houston 7-1…surging….
23. Southern Cal 5-2
24. Utah 6-2
25. Memphis 7-1
If you carry out the votes, Navy is No. 26. LSU is out…after being No. 3 for three weeks in September. Bye-bye Brian Kelly, despite the massive buyout. Texas A&M bought out Jimbo Fisher and look where they are.
Back to Wake Forest, recall, we lost to then 4-0 Georgia Tech earlier, 30-29, when we went for two in overtime rather than kick the extra point and send it into another session. Imagine if we had won that game, we’re 6-1, and ranked!
A yawner of a schedule next weekend, though we’ll be tuning in for Vandy at Texas.
NFL
–So of course I watched the entire Jets-Bengals game, because I have watched every Jets game essentially since 1967. And what a treat, totally out of nowhere, we were given as the Jets, down 31-16 late in the third quarter, kept coming back, relentlessly, with 502 yards of offense, quarterback Justin Fields, almost maliciously dissed by owner Woody Johnson during the week, leading the way (21/32, 244, 1-0, 99.0), without Garrett Wilson and the No. 2 receiver due to injury, the Jets also with 254 yards rushing, Breece Hall, 18 carries for 133 yards and two touchdowns, plus the deciding 4-yard option pass to tight end Mason Taylor, and what do you freakin’ know? The Jets win it, 39-38, coach Aaron Glenn’s first in the NFL, Glenn going for two, with New York down 38-30, and it paid off.
It was so sweet, as much as all of us love Joe Flacco, who wasn’t the reason the Bengals (3-5) lost, their season now over.
–The Giants (2-6) lost star rookie running back Cam Skattebo to a gruesome dislocated ankle early in the contest with the Eagles (6-2) and New York lost 38-20. I said last week that rookie QB Jaxson Dart and Skattebo have to stay on the field, as they play rather recklessly, and Skattebo is gone.
Saquon Barkley, off to a lousy start to the season, took the first possession 65 yards for a touchdown and finished 14-150-1. Jalen Hurts was 15/20, 179, 4-0, 141.5 for the Eagles.
—New England is 6-2 following a 32-13 win over Cleveland (2-6), Drake Maye 18/24, 282, 3-1, 135.8 for the Pats.
–I thought Miami coach Mike McDaniel was going to be fired last Monday, but he’s still here and the Dolphins (2-6) surprised the Falcons (3-4) in Atlanta, 34-10, as the slumping Tua had a terrific day, 20/26, 205, 4-0, 138.6.
—Buffalo is 5-2, 40-9 over the Panthers (4-4) in Charlotte, running back James Cook III with a monster game…19-216-2.
–The Bears (4-3) suffered a bad loss, 30-16 to the Lamar Jackson-less Ravens (2-5), Caleb Williams with a late interception deep inside Bears’ territory that sealed Chicago’s fate.
I mean Baltimore had former NBC News anchor Chet Huntley’s son at QB, Tyler, after all.
…I was just informed this is not correct…sorry, I relied on ChatGPT…
–And the Texans (3-4) held the 49ers (5-3) to just 223 yards of offense in a 26-15 win in Houston.
—The Jets reported some very sad news today…All-Pro center, and all-time Jets great, Nick Mangold, died of kidney disease at the age of 41. He had recently gone public with a plea for a kidney transplant, family members not sharing his blood type.
“Nick was more than a legendary center,” owner Woody Johnson said in a statement. “He was the heartbeat of our offensive line for a decade and a beloved teammate whose leadership and toughness defined an era of Jets football. Off the field, Nick’s wit, warmth, and unwavering loyalty made him a cherished member of our extended Jets family.”
The two-time first-team All-Pro was a first-round draft pick in 2006 by the Jets out of Ohio State. He had 164 career starts in his eleven seasons (2006-2016), all in a Jets uniform.
Mangold was tough and a warrior, but also just a great guy. He lived in the next town over from me and I’d pass his house often in my daily routines, but never saw him outside (of course he was at the Jets’ nearby practice facility in Florham Park no doubt).
He was an integral part of the Jets’ two AFC Championship game appearances, 2009-2010, the last two times the Jets made the playoffs, and was inducted into the Jets’ Ring of Honor in 2022.
RIP, Nick Mangold.
NBA
—The NBA’s return to NBC was a rousing success last Tuesday night, with a doubleheader averaging 5.61 million viewers, the most-watched October opening night in 15 years according to Nielsen data.
It was also an 87% increase over the 3 million that watched on TNT Sports last year.
So good start to the NBA season…and then the roof caved in….
—The head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers and a player for the Miami Heat were arrested Thursday along with more than 30 other people in two cases alleging sprawling criminal schemes to rake in millions by rigging sports bets and poker games involving Mafia families, authorities said.
Portland coach Chauncey Billups was charged with participating in a conspiracy to fix high-stakes card games in Las Vegas, Miami, Manhattan and the Hamptons that were backed by La Cosa Nostra organized crime families. Heat guard Terry Rozier is accused in a separate scheme to concoct fraudulent bets by exploiting insider information about NBA athletes.
The indictments unsealed in New York create a massive cloud for the NBA and show how certain types of wagers are vulnerable to massive fraud in the growing, multi-billion-dollar legal sports-betting industry. Joseph Nocella, the top federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of New York, called it “one of the most brazen sports corruption schemes since online sports betting became widely legalized in the United States.”
“My message to the defendants who’ve been rounded up today is this: Your winning streak has ended,” Nocella said. “Your luck has run out.”
Both men face money laundering and wire fraud conspiracy charges and later turned themselves in and were released on bail.
FBI Director Kash Patel said dozens of people were arrested in connection with an alleged sports betting case.
“The fraud is mind boggling,” Patel told reporters. “We’re talking about tens of millions of dollars in fraud and theft and robbery across a multi-year investigation.”
The alleged fraud paled in comparison to the riches the athletes earned on the court. Billups, who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame last year, had about $106 million in career earnings over his 17-year career. Rozier made about $160 million in his stops in Boston, Miami and Charlotte.
Both were placed on leave by their teams.
“We take these allegations with the utmost seriousness, and the integrity of our game remains our top priority,” the NBA said in a statement.
The poker scheme cheated at least $7 million out of unsuspecting gamblers who were lured into rigged games with the chance to compete against former professional basketball players like Billups and Damon Jones, who was also caught up in the case. The games were fixed using sophisticated cheating technology, such as altered card-shuffling machines, hidden cameras in poker chip trays, special sunglasses and even X-ray equipment built into the table to read the cards of unsuspecting players, authorities allege.
The scheme often made use of illegal poker games run by New York crime families that required them to share a portion of their proceeds with the Gambino, Genovese, Bonanno and Lucchese families. [All but the Colombo family, in other words, in terms of New York’s “five families.”]
In the sports betting scheme, Rozier and other defendants are accused of accessing private information from NBA players or coaches that could impact a player’s performance and giving that information to others so they could place wagers. Players sometimes altered their performance or took themselves out of games early to rig prop bets, such as whether the player will finish over or under a certain total of points, rebounds or assists, according to the indictment.
In one instance, Rozier, while playing for the Charlotte Hornets in 2023, told people he was planning to leave the game early with a supposed injury, allowing gamblers to place wagers earning them tens of thousands of dollars, authorities say. That game against the New Orleans Pelicans raised eyebrows at the time, as Rozier played the first 9 minutes and 36 seconds of the game before leaving, citing a foot issue. He did not play again that season.
But this is not new news. The NBA investigated Rozier in 2023 and didn’t find enough evidence to do anything about it. Incredibly, though, the Heat claim they weren’t aware of the investigation when they acquired him in a trade in 2024. That’s hard to believe.
Out in Portland, assistant coach Tiago Splitter assumed the interim head-coaching duties in place of Billups, the team announced Thursday.
“We are aware of the allegations involving head coach Chauncey Billups, and the Trail Blazers are fully cooperating with the investigation,” the Blazers said in a statement. “Billups has been placed on immediate leave, and Tiago Splitter will assume head coaching duties in the interim.”
In his first comments since the federal indictments were announced, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he was “deeply disturbed” by the allegations.
“My initial reaction was I was deeply disturbed,” Silver said Friday in an interview at the Knicks-Celtics game. “There’s nothing more important to the league and its fans than the integrity of the competition.
“And so I had a pit in my stomach. It was very upsetting.”
Silver also explained the events that led to the NBA investigating “aberrational behavior” around a game March 23, 2023 – one of several in the indictment – involving Rozier while he was playing for the Hornets in New Orleans.
Rozier was investigated by the NBA, and the league said at the time it “did not find a violation of NBA rules” and he continued playing, though he sat out the rest of the 2023 season with injury.
“So what happened was because bets were placed through legalized legal betting companies, they picked up aberrational behavior around a particular game in March of 2023,” Silver said. “And so, it was brought to our attention by the regulators and the betting companies. We then looked into that situation and were very transparent about it. And while there was that aberrational betting, we, frankly, couldn’t find anything.”
Silver also said that Rozier cooperated with league officials at the time, including being interviewed by them and surrendering his phone, before “we ultimately concluded that there was insufficient evidence, despite that aberrational behavior,” and reiterated that the league has continued working with the government.
“The federal government has subpoena power,” Silver said. “[It] can threaten to put people in jail, can do all kinds of things that the league office can’t do. So, we’ve been working with them since then. And, of course, what they announced yesterday was an indictment.
“And 2 ½ years later, he still hasn’t been convicted of anything, in fairness to Terry. Obviously, it doesn’t look good, but he’s been put on administrative leave, and so it is a balance here between protecting people’s rights and investigating.”
–There were some terrific individual performances this first week, such as Victor Wembanyama’s 40 points and 15 rebounds in San Antonio’s 125-92 opening victory over Dallas.
It was Wemby’s first regular-season game since his 2024-25 season was cut short in February due to deep vein thrombosis.
Cooper Flagg, making his NBA debut, had 10 points and 10 rebounds, but was only 4-of-13 from the field.
In his second game, Friday night against New Orleans, Wembanyama had 29 points and 11 rebounds in a 120-116 win.
–In Friday night’s 128-110 Lakers win over the T’Wolves, Luka Doncic had 49 points, giving him 92 his first two games of the season, after a summer where he spent it getting into top shape. He is just the fourth player in NBA history to begin a season with back-to-back 40-point performances – and he barely missed a triple-double twice, too.
The only three players to ever start a season with back-to-back 40-point efforts: Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan and Anthony Davis.
Doncic also had 23 rebounds and 17 assists in the two games.
—The Knicks started out 2-0, beating the Cavaliers and the Celtics at the Garden, Wednesday and Friday. In Friday’s 105-95 win over Boston, Josh Hart made his debut and had 14 rebounds in 19 minutes, classic Hart.
New York is playing under new coach Mike Brown, and it’s especially important for the team and his support among the fan base to get off to a good start.
Golf
–This week marked the midpoint of the PGA Tour’s Fall Season, the Bank of Utah Championship at the Black Desert Resort Golf Course in Ivins, Utah.
Three tournaments remain after this week. Players ranked 91-110 in the FedEx Cup Fall standings need to crack the top 100 to secure exempt status for the 2026 season. Those positioned 51-60 are fighting for spots in the AON Next 10, which unlocks early-season access to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Genesis Invitational, two signature events.
And so after three rounds, in a shocking development, Michael Brennan, a 23-year-old from Wake Forest, making just his third PGA Tour start on a sponsor invite, had the lead heading to the fourth round; Brennan having shot 67-65-64, leading by three. Could he close the deal?
I have to post before the end of the tournament, but with five holes to go, Brennan is up by 3 shots.
–But the Tour had to formally announce what we all knew would be the decision…to cancel The Sentry Tournament of Champions, the opening event, and a signature one, of the 2026 season.
The Plantation Course at Kapalua was unplayable due to water restrictions, and there was too little time to find a suitable substitute venue due to various logistical challenges.
The Sony Open at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu will now serve as the opening event.
Players eligible for The Sentry in 2026 via a tournament win, but who were not among the top 50 finishers from the prior season’s FedEx Cup standings, will have access to another signature event in 2026, with those players being added to the RBC Heritage field. Good move by the Tour in this regard.
But this does suck. Kapalua is so beautiful on television and it’s a fun course and a great way to start the golf season, especially for those going through winter back on the mainland.
Premier League
—Saturday, Chelsea fell 2-1 to Sunderland, who was just promoted this season and is 4th in the table! Good lord. Manchester United won its third straight, 4-2 over Brighton, and is moving up the table. And Brentford handed Liverpool its fourth straight loss. Talk about shocking. The defending champions had won their first five of the season.
Today, Arsenal edged Crystal Palace to stay on top, while Manchester City fell at Aston Villa 1-0. And Bournemouth, in second place, beat Nottingham Forest 2-0.
In the late game, Tottenham had a nice road win at Everton, 3-0, to vault to 3rd.
So, the surprising table after 9 of 38 matches….
- Arsenal 22 points
2. Bournemouth 18
3.Tottenham 17
4. Sunderland 17
5. Man City 16
6. Man U 16
7. Liverpool 15
8. Aston Villa 15
Stuff
–The Alpine skiing World Cup season got underway this weekend in Solden, Austria, two giant slalom races for the men and women.
And the U.S. Women had a terrific giant slalom, Paul Moltzan with her third career second-place finish (no wins), Mikaela Shiffrin 4th and Nina O’Brien 6th. Shiffrin is still working her way back into top shape from her injury last season and this is very encouraging.
Austria’s Julia Scheib won it, her first World Cup win. They were partying Saturday night in Solden. Wish I was there. ‘Premium lager,’ for one. Some wiener schnitzel with spaetzle and brown sauce…oh baby, my last meal on Earth, ala the plot to “On the Beach.”
On the men’s side, Switzerland’s Marco Odermatt (of course) won the GS, his 46th World Cup title. He gets his chocolate in-house, tariff free.
Separately, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation announced plans to step up continuing efforts to improve course safety, both for races and training, after Italian skier Matteo Franzozo died in a downhill training crash in Chile in September.
The season consists of 38 men’s and 37 women’s races; mainly scheduled through Europe, but the men have two races in Colorado – and the women have one in Colorado and one in Mount Tremblant, Quebec…all over late November into early December.
–I watched the last half of the Mexican Grand Prix, good stuff, fun looking course, and Lando Norris won it, Charles LeClerc in his Ferrari second, and Max Verstappen third.
Verstappen, winner of the last four championships, has been staging a huge comeback in the standings, having won three of the last five races coming in.
More in the Add-on. But Lando Norris is suddenly the leader in the standings, with four races left. It is very tight.
—William Byron won the NASCAR Cup Series race in Martinsville, VA, to qualify for the championship race. Also, more in my Add-on.
Top 3 songs for the week 10/26/63: #1 Sugar Shack” (Jimmy Gilmer and The Fireballs) #2 “Be My Baby” (The Ronettes…Brian Wilson’s favorite song, what he called the “perfect” rock ‘n’ roll tune…) #3 “Deep Purple” (Nino Tempo & April Stevens)…and…#4 “Busted” (Ray Charles) #5 “Blue Velvet” (Bobby Vinton) #6 “Donna The Prima Donna” (Dion) #7 “Mean Woman Blues” (Roy Orbison) #8 “Washington Square” (The Village Stompers) #9 “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” (Peter, Paul & Mary) #10 “Cry Baby” (Garnet Mimms & The Enchanters…B- week…little did America know that in less than four months, the Beatles would appear on Ed Sullivan…and the rest would be history…)
NBA Quiz Answers: Last seven champions, beginning with the 2018-19 season…Raptors, Lakers, Bucks, Warriors, Nuggets, Celtics and Thunder.
Very brief Add-on up top by noon, Tuesday.
