LAS VEGAS — Redshirt freshman Graham Mertz made a strong first impression in his debut as Wisconsin’s starting quarterback. Nearly a month later, Mertz still is waiting to make his second start.
The Badgers, tangled in a COVID-19 web, have not played and rarely have practiced since Mertz completed 20 of 21 passes for 248 yards and five touchdowns in a 45-7 victory over Illinois on Oct. 23. Despite the team’s inactivity and uncertainty surrounding Mertz, Wisconsin has been bet to a 4½-point favorite against Michigan in Ann Arbor on Saturday.
Bettors are obviously down on the Wolverines, who opened as 2-point favorites and are off back-to-back poor performances in losses to Indiana and Michigan State. Michigan’s sudden demise has put coach Jim Harbaugh on the hot seat.
Wisconsin will be missing at least 10 players as part of the Big Ten’s protocol, which mandates a 21-day absence for players after a positive COVID test. Mertz is expected to be cleared to play, but the long layoff should be considered a negative.
Two weeks ago, the Wolverines would have been around 3½-point favorites in this game, so the move in the betting market appears to be an overreaction. Mertz and the Badgers are still somewhat of a mystery. Illinois has been the worst team in the Big Ten, so it’s reasonable to wonder if Wisconsin is worthy of so much respect.
The pick: Michigan +4.5
Arkansas (+17) over FLORIDA: The Razorbacks, 3-3 straight up and 6-0 against the spread, are the surprise team in the SEC. It’s not going to be surprising if they put a scare into the Gators, who are in a possible letdown spot after a breakthrough victory over Georgia last week. Arkansas quarterback Feleipe Franks, a transfer from Florida, will be highly motivated. Franks has completed 67.2 percent of his passes with 14 touchdowns and three interceptions this season. It’s doubtful he can outduel Kyle Trask, but the Hogs are capable of covering a big number.
BOSTON COLLEGE (+11.5) over Notre Dame: Here’s the definition of a flat spot — upset the No. 1 team in the nation, watch fans storm the field and hit the road the next week to face a rival. In the most dramatic high-stakes game of the season, the Irish upended Clemson 47-40 in double overtime. That was the game Notre Dame’s players had circled for the entire offseason, not this one. Eagles quarterback Phil Jurkovec, a transfer from Notre Dame and former four-star recruit, passed for two touchdowns in BC’s 34-28 loss at Clemson on Oct. 31. Sharp money has been showing on the underdog this week, pushing the line down from 16.
New Mexico (+17.5) over Nevada: The Lobos, who were a complete mess at the tail end of former coach Bob Davie’s tenure, are turning into live ’dogs under new coach Danny Gonzales and defensive coordinator Rocky Long. New Mexico, a two-touchdown underdog, rolled up 279 rushing yards in a 39-33 loss at Hawaii last week. This game will be played in Las Vegas, the Lobos’ new home on the road during a COVID crisis in New Mexico.
Last Week: 1-2. Michigan (L), Florida (W), Oregon State (L).
Season: 17-12-1.

newyorkpost--2020-11-14--Trump and family looking at big paydays on speaking circuit

President Trump and his family have lost a `` fortune '' by ...

President Trump will continue to draw huge crowds when he’s out of office — and can expect huge fees to speak to them.
The 45th President of the United States will easily receive $1 million, and likely more, for speeches in the US, TMZ reported. He could rake in even more overseas, the site maintained, citing bookers who help celebrities get such deals. The president can also expect first-class digs, and likely some golf trips thrown in. So far, it doesn’t appear that any talent agencies have signed any members of the family yet, but with the president staring down at least $400 million in personally guaranteed debt, he’ll welcome the cash flow. Trump and his family members claim the presidency cost the family “a fortune.”
Politicians frequently earn significant sums on the speaking circuit when they’re out of office. The millions Hillary Clinton took in from speeches to the likes of Goldman Sachs was a major issue during the 2016 campaign. That could raise concerns for Trump if he decides to run again in 2024.
The demand will extend to the first lady and the president’s kids, whose roles in the campaign and administration raised their profiles.
Melania Trump will command between $75,000 and $125,0000 in the States and up to $175,000 abroad as long as she stays married to the former president. Should she divorce him — as the rumor mills like to speculate — or writes a tell-all book, her fees would likely jump higher, the gossip site reported.
The president’s golden child, Ivanka, can also look forward to taking in hefty sums. As a published author and established brand, she should be able to garner $75,000 to $100,000 speaking before American audiences and up to $125,000 internationally.
Don Jr., Eric and Tiffany Trump will likely see less demand from international markets, but could take in about $75,000 per appearance in the US.
The Trump family will likely include significant non-disclosure agreements in any speaking contracts, including allowing the president to ban recordings.

newyorkpost--2020-11-14--Queens man Makijah Lino, 22, charged with attempted rapes

No matter who you are , whether you work in a ...

A Queens man arrested in a string of attempted rapes after his stepfather reported him to police was held on $20,000 bail on attempted sexual abuse charges.
Makijah Lino, 22, of Richmond Hill, didn’t enter a plea during the Saturday afternoon court proceedings.
Cops charged Lino with forcible touching, two counts of attempted rape and acting in a manner injurious to a child, the NYPD said. Lino, who has at least two prior arrests in Connecticut, faces four years in jail if convicted.
Lino’s alleged fiendish acts were committed over a two-and-a-half-hour span Thursday, police said.
Lino was busted after his stepdad saw his image on the news and called cops, officials said.
“He was a sweet little boy,” one former neighbor told The Post.
“I watched him growing up,” she said. “His mom and stepdad were good with him,” she said.
“It must have been a tough decision for his stepdad,” she added. “But it was the right one.”
“To turn in your own kid is not an easy thing to do, but you have to do the right thing. I feel bad for the parents because they really tried with him,” she said.
The spree allegedly began when the suspect targeted a 20-year-old woman on 104th Street near Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill around 10:40 a.m., authorities said.
Cops said the assailant allegedly put his arms around her and lifted her up while grabbing her buttocks.

The attacker ran away when the woman resisted.
Then, around 12:35 p.m. about a mile away, on the corner of 84th Avenue and 118th Street, the man walked up to a 14-year-old girl who was chatting with her friend on FaceTime, picked her up and tried to take off her pants, according to police. The victim fought back and the assailant ran off.
Shortly after 1 p.m., the suspect attacked a 24-year-old in Forest Park while she was on a trail near Woodhaven Boulevard and Forest Park Drive, knocked her to the ground and pulled down her sweatpants. The woman fought off the assailant, escaped and called the NYPD.
Cops got “very good video footage” of the creep from his attack on the teen and blasted it out to the media, where the suspect’s step-father saw it on the morning news, prompting the parent to kick him out of the house and call police.

I still remember where I was standing .
I can still see the people surrounding me .
I still remember the crestfallen feeling , the utter confusion .
I was a 9-year-old Notre Dame fan — by default , living in New York with no college football teams nearby , the Irish on TV every week and parents whose Brooklyn College degrees didn ’ t provide an alternative — peeking through a restaurant crowd to see the TV display David Gordon ’ s field goal as time expired , giving Boston College a 41-39 win , crushing Notre Dame ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one week earlier , the undefeated , No .

The Irish arrive at Boston College on Saturday , coming off their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top-ranked team in 27 years .

Just one week earlier, the undefeated, No. 2 Irish won the “Game of the Century” against No. 1 Florida State and eventual Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward. I thought a national championship was a lock, but I was too young to understand the energy, focus and emotion expended in such a massive game, unaware that Boston College was a live ’dog the next week.

The Irish arrive at Boston College on Saturday, coming off their first win over the nation’s top-ranked team in 27 years. With the double-overtime win over Clemson, Brian Kelly notched his first victory over a top-five team in six tries at Notre Dame, giving the school its highest ranking in eight years.
“We’ve got a target on our backs now,” Kelly said this week. “The real challenge now is to keep this football team accelerating. … Boston College is going to be a challenge for us. I’ve got to get this football team back up, emotionally ready to play.”
Kelly has never lost to Boston College in six meetings, winning last year’s game 40-7. But a 54-7 win over the Eagles in 1992 meant nothing the next year.
Boston College has already played some of its best football against the nation’s best — led by former Notre Dame quarterback Phil Jurkovec, who has excelled in his first season as a starter after being granted just 17 pass attempts in two seasons in South Bend.
Against No. 12 North Carolina, Boston College was a two-point conversion from tying the game in the final minute. Against No. 1 Clemson, the Eagles led in the fourth quarter. Again, BOSTON COLLEGE (+13.5) will be in striking distance for a potential upset.
Illinois (+6.5) over RUTGERS
Take a picture. The Scarlet Knights haven’t been favored in a Big Ten game since 2014. Though Rutgers has shown improvement under Greg Schiano, the COVID-afflicted Illini will also look significantly better than the past few weeks, as several key pieces return from quarantine.
VIRGINIA TECH (-2.5) over Miami
D’Erik King took over to save the Hurricanes from an upset to N.C. State, but this duel will be won by fellow dual-threat Hendon Hooker, who enters averaging 103 yards rushing per game, while completing more than 66 percent of his passes.
Penn State (-3) over NEBRASKA
James Franklin has averaged 10.5 wins over the past four seasons. An 0-4 start seems as likely as widespread mail-in voter fraud. Once the Nittany Lions limit their turnovers, the talent will take over.
Indiana (-7.5) over MICHIGAN STATE
The Hoosiers are still getting used to seeing themselves in the rankings each week, but they’ve learned how to handle success. After upsetting Penn State, Indiana comfortably took down Rutgers. So, even after ending a 24-game losing streak to Michigan, the Hoosiers aren’t likely to look past the Spartans, coming off a 42-point loss to Iowa.
LIBERTY (-32.5) over Western Carolina
The Flames have opened the season with seven straight wins, most recently knocking off Virginia Tech. The FCS’ Catamounts have lost 15 of their past 17 games and will be introducing a new quarterback in their first game of the season. There will be blood.
Usc (-14) over ARIZONA
The Pac-12 favorites needed a late comeback to top what might have been their toughest opponent of the regular season. Things will only get easier against a weak Wildcats secondary, which Kedon Slovis should torch for over 400 yards.
Arkansas (+17.5) over FLORIDA
Even with first-year Arkansas coach Sam Pittman sidelined by COVID-19, the impact of his game plan will be felt. So will that of QB Feleipe Franks, who is set to face his former team after throwing 11 touchdowns and one interception the past four games.
WASHINGTON STATE (+10.5) over Oregon
The Air Raid era is over. In the first game since Mike Leach’s departure, the Cougars ran for 229 yards (7.6 per carry) and three touchdowns in a win over Oregon State. The Ducks gave up 197 yards (6.4 per carry) in their season-opener.
TULSA (-3) over Smu
The Golden Hurricane already beat UCF and the nation’s top-ranked aerial attack. Tulsa is ready for Mustangs QB Shane Buechele and another explosive offense to come to town.
MICHIGAN (+4.5) over Wisconsin
The Wolverines just lost to Indiana for the first time since 1987. Jim Harbaugh seems more likely to return to the NFL than to turn Michigan into a title contender. The Big House isn’t much help when it’s empty. If the overwhelming majority of the planet’s inhabitants hadn’t jumped into bed with Wisconsin — which hasn’t played since Oct. 23 — I’d probably be backing the Badgers, too.
Northwestern (-2.5) over PURDUE
The Boilermakers’ one-dimensional offense will have few appealing options against one of the nation’s top secondaries. Meanwhile, Northwestern — off to its first 3-0 start in two decades — should pad its 205-yard per game average on the ground against Purdue’s soft defensive front.
Best bets: Boston College, Penn State, Arkansas
This season (best bets): 70-60-1 (13-13-1)
2014-19 record: 772-756-13


newyorkpost--2020-11-14--Trump supporters head to streets as he pushes false election claims

President Donald Trump ’ s supporters will take to the streets on Saturday to back his unsubstantiated claims of election fraud as he pushes ahead with a flurry of longshot legal challenges to overturn President-elect Joe Biden ’ s victory .
Trump has made little headway in the courts with his lawsuits and for the first time on Friday he began to sound doubtful about his prospects , telling reporters “ time will tell ” who occupies the White House from Jan. 20 .
There have been other pro-Trump protests around the country since Biden was projected the winner on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ small and unfolded with few incidents .
The pro-Trump demonstrations in Washington and other cities are scheduled to feature a mix of the president ’ s backers , far-right personalities and members of the Oath Keepers militia and Proud Boys in a public display of support for his effort to stay in power .
Organizers have given the rallies various names , including the Million MAGA March , the March for Trump and Stop the Steal .
MAGA is an acronym for the Trump campaign slogan “ Make America Great Again.
” Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ groups are planning counter-demonstrations in Washington and other cities .
Biden further solidified his victory on Friday as results from Edison Research showed him winning Georgia , giving him a final tally of 306 Electoral College votes , far more than the 270 needed to be elected president and above Trump ’ s 232 .
The 306 votes was equal to what Trump won in his 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton , which he then called a “ landslide.

“ This administration will not be going to a lockdown .
Hopefully the , uh , whatever happens in the future – who knows which administration it will be ?
I guess time will tell , ” Trump said in his first public remarks since Biden was projected as the election ’ s winner a week ago .
With the election outcome becoming clearer , Trump has discussed with advisers possible media ventures and appearances that would keep him in the spotlight ahead of a possible 2024 White @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is considering starting a television channel or social media company to compete with those he felt betrayed him and stifled his ability to communicate directly with Americans , according to several advisers .
In the near term , Trump is expected to campaign for Republican candidates in Georgia ahead of two Jan. 5 runoff elections that will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate .
Trump has refused to concede to Biden and claims without evidence that he was cheated by widespread election fraud .
State election officials report no serious irregularities , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ failed in court .
A Michigan state court on Friday rejected a request by Trump ’ s supporters to block the certification of votes in Detroit , which went heavily in favor of Biden .
And lawyers for Trump ’ s campaign dropped a lawsuit in Arizona after the final vote count there rendered it moot .
Federal election security officials have found no evidence that any voting system deleted , lost or changed votes , “ or was in any way compromised , ” two security groups said in a statement released @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agency .
To win a second term , Trump would need to overturn Biden ’ s lead in at least three states , but he has so far failed to produce evidence that he could do so in any of them .

Trump ’ s refusal to accept defeat has stalled the official transition .
The federal agency that releases funding to an incoming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has yet to recognize Biden ’ s victory , denying him access to federal office space and resources .
But Biden , who will meet with advisers about the transition on Saturday in his home state of Delaware , has pressed ahead with the process , identifying legislative priorities , reviewing federal agency policies and preparing to fill thousands of jobs in the new administration .
“ We ’ re charging ahead with the transition , ” Jen Psaki , a senior adviser to Biden ’ s transition team , said while stressing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the Trump administration to deal with the resurgent coronavirus pandemic and national security threats .
Although the national popular vote does not determine the election outcome , Biden was ahead by more than 5.3 million votes , or 3.4 percentage points .

This hardly was a big-screen case of “ Austin Mack , no matter what , ” on draft day .
The undrafted wide receiver out of Ohio State fought his way onto the Giants practice squad and then kept working to be added to the active roster in Week 6 .

“ At the end of the day , [ my mindset ] was just come in and work hard , put my head down , and just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there was an opportunity , just try and maximize it and just keep competing each and every day.
” The Giants already have enjoyed immense success with one undrafted free agent wide receiver , Victor Cruz , and they obviously would be elated if Mack can come anywhere close to having that sort of impact .

This hardly was a big-screen case of “Austin Mack, no matter what,” on draft day.
The undrafted wide receiver out of Ohio State fought his way onto the Giants practice squad and then kept working to be added to the active roster in Week 6. He made his first true impact as an NFL player in last Sunday’s win against Washington, contributing a 50-yard reception and a would-be touchdown that was overturned by replay review.
Mack’s role for Sunday’s game against Philadelphia still remains uncertain, probably hinging somewhat on Golden Tate’s availability while working his way back from team discipline and a knee injury suffered Thursday in practice.
“It’s been a grind. I’ve been really focused in knowing that it wasn’t going to be easy,” said Mack, who finished with four receptions for 72 yards in the Giants’ 23-20 win over Washington. “At the end of the day, [my mindset] was just come in and work hard, put my head down, and just wait for an opportunity.

Giants coach Joe Judge described Mack earlier this week as “definitely a scrappy dude” and someone who “makes plays and does things” on the field, whether it be blocking or making tough receptions. Wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert added that Mack also has impressed the coaching staff with his willingness to serve as “an enforcer” both in the running game and on special teams.

newyorkpost--2020-11-14--Rory McIlroy rebounds after Augusta member’s ‘colorful’ pep talk

AUGUSTA , Ga. — So , you say you don ’ t believe in ...

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Rory McIlroy was on his way out, his sixth try at completing the career Grand Slam seemingly halted before the weekend.
McIlroy, who needs just a Masters victory to become the sixth player ever to win all four major championships, shot 75 in his opening round, which was completed Friday. At one point, he hit his tee shot into the middle of the water on the 170-yard par-3 16th.
He looked a mess.
Then McIlroy rallied to shoot a 6-under 66 in his second round Friday — a nine-shot swing — and is 3-under through 36 holes, still in touch with the lead at 9-under.
McIlroy said he received encouragement from friend and Augusta member Jimmy Dunn between his first and second rounds.
“Jimmy Dunn gave me a pep talk between rounds going on to the range,’’ McIlroy said. “I honestly have been playing so good coming in here, and I go into the first round and shoot 75 and I’m like, ‘Where the hell did that come from?’
“I knew it was in there, it was just a matter of trusting a little more and being committed. It was better [in the second round].’’
Asked what Dunn’s pep talk was like, McIlroy said, “It was colorful.’’
“I turned it around nicely and shot a good one, at least gave myself a chance going into the weekend,’’ McIlroy said.
Maybe someone needs to remind Bernhard Langer the Masters is not a Champions Tour event. The forever-young 63-year-old German, who has dominated the senior circuit like no other player in history, is not out of contention to win the green jacket for the third time.
Langer, who’s playing in his 37th Masters and won in 1985 and 1993, is 3-under entering the weekend, just six shots out of the lead. Langer making the cut overtook Tommy Aaron as the oldest player ever to do so.
When informed of that he was the oldest player to make the Masters cut, Langer said, “How about that? I’ll drink to that.’’
Asked what he’s drinking, he said, “Shandy.’’
“There have been so many great players here before me, including Jack Nicklaus to Gary Player to all the greats that have competed here, and to be the oldest to make the cut, it’s certainly an achievement,’’ Langer said. “Hopefully, I get to play a few more years and enjoy this place.’’
Adam Scott got a terrible break Friday when his approach shot to No. 15 hit the flag stick and rebounded into Rae’s Creek, leading a double bogey.
The same thing happened to Tiger Woods on that hole in the second round of the 2013 Masters, which Scott won.
“Unfortunately, I think we hit the wrong club there, but then compound that with a bad break,’’ Scott said. “It was a good shot. I think I was making a par and ended up making a good double. I’ve seen that happen before on the 15th hole [Woods]. I was nervous then when I was hitting my sixth shot because the 6 can turn to 8, and it can spiral really out of control.’’
Scott ended up shooting 72 in his second round and is 2-under for the week.
“It’s such a momentum-killer,’’ Scott said. “If I’d managed to make a 4 there and be 5-under for the tournament, the momentum is really going and you just never know.’’

The light sentence followed an emotional statement by their son, Ethan Kelly — now an 18-year-old high school senior — who recounted his years of torture after his adoption in 2007.
“This wasn’t the dream. I cried every night and prayed for Jesus to end it all” Kelly told the court.
“I’m not who I used to be. I’m not even who I was supposed to be. I lived the story of Cinderella with no happy ending.”
The couple was accused of keeping Ethan locked in prison-like conditions in the basement for around two years.
For nearly 23 hours a day, he was forced to stay in a locked room with a camera, alarm system and box spring for a bed.
The abuse came to light on Nov. 12, 2016, when Richard took the gravely ill boy to the hospital weighing. Though age 14, he weighed less than 55 pounds.
Doctors told police at the time that the boy was near death — suffering from malnourishment, dehydration, acute respiratory distress, shock and hypothermia.
“His body was failing in all of the critical ways that keep us alive. He was essentially dying,” Children’s Hospital of Alabama Dr. Melissa Peters told the court, according to AL.com
Both parents testified that they had not abused Ethan — and that they did not believe they did anything wrong.

“Maybe we missed some signs. If I could do it over again, I would get him help,” Cynthia said, AL.com reported.

A handful of Saturday’s games have been postponed by COVID-19 outbreaks — including more than half of the SEC slate — but there are still a number of games on the docket that feature players that could be of interest to the Jets or Giants next April.
There’s one more week to get through without Trevor Lawrence on your television screens, with Clemson on a bye, but until he returns next week, here’s a look at which players and games to keep an eye on:

Washington had its season-opener delayed by a week but now they will get to show off what is expected to be a stout secondary, with cornerbacks Elijah Molden (an All-Pac-12 nickelback) and Keith Taylor (a 6-foot-3 threat) leading the way. The Huskies also have left tackle Jaxson Kirkland and tight end Cade Otton among their top draft-eligible prospects.
Oregon State’s most attractive player to Jets and Giants fans may be pass rusher Hamilcar Rashed Jr., who racked up 14 sacks and 22.5 tackles for loss last week.

newyorkpost--2020-11-14--Banged-up Giant Devonta Freeman to miss at least 3 weeks

There were times , as hard as it is to believe ...

Devonta Freeman will miss at least the next three weeks, giving Alfred Morris a full-time roster spot with the Giants and a continued share of the rushing duties with Wayne Gallman entering Sunday’s game against Philadelphia.
Freeman, who has missed the past two games with an ankle issue, has been placed on injured reserve after he also suffered a hamstring injury this week.
The Giants signed Morris, who has rushed 17 times for 95 yards the past two weeks, to replace Freeman. Morris already had been called up from the practice squad twice (the maximum allowable times), so he would have been exposed to waivers unless he was signed fully to the 53-man roster.
A new injury to watch is cornerback Isaac Yiadom, who has been listed as questionable with a calf injury. The Giants already are without Ryan Lewis (hamstring), and they lost Corey Ballentine via waivers this week to the Jets. Yiadom played every defensive snap in Sunday’s win over Washington. Defensive back Montre Hartage also was signed off the practice squad.
Starting left guard Will Hernandez (Reserve/COVID-19) is expected to return after missing two games.
“He had a good practice [Thursday], and we’re looking forward to him playing this week,” coach Joe Judge said.
Judge and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett have stepped up the usage of trick plays in recent weeks, including an attempted flea flicker Sunday against Washington.
“I think the biggest thing you’re trying to do is put your players in a position where we can have some success executing plays. Part of that is your deceptives. I think our guys are capable of handling those,” Garrett said. “Sometimes you call that stuff and you don’t have success with it.
“You’d like to have more as we go here, the chance to make some explosive plays. I just think that’s a part of playing offensive football, your deceptives, along with the base stuff that you run in your run and pass game each week.”


newyorkpost--2020-11-14--Yankees face unfamiliar problem finding Gerrit Cole rotation help

If the Yankees limit payroll next season to stay under ...

Call this The Case of the Missing 40 Percent.
As the Yankees stand now, still in the first inning of this Hot Stove season unlike any other, they must replace 40 percent of their 2020 starts, probably for less than half of what they were prepared to pay for that ($52.5 million) last year before the novel coronavirus struck. Almost certainly for less than the $36 million they’ve committed to Gerrit Cole for 2021.
Masahiro Tanaka (pre-pandemic 2020 salary of $23 million) made 10 starts for the Yankees this past season, J.A. Happ ($17 million) nine and James Paxton ($12.5 million) five. Add those up and you get 24 starts out of the Yankees’ 60 games. That trio, all part of the free-agent pool now, teamed for a 4.05 ERA, considerably better than the cumulative American League starting pitchers’ ERA of 4.52.
Yes, now that the Yankees enter a winter with an undisputed ace for the first time in a long time, they must construct his supporting cast on (relatively) limited funds. And don’t forget that Luis Severino, who underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in late February, will be making $10.75 million. His return by the All-Star break should be considered a victory.
Perhaps you’ve figured out by now that a Trevor Bauer hookup with the Yankees looks quite unlikely because of the dollars he should get somewhere before we even dive into his unique, social-media-heavy personality and his frenemy-ship with his former UCLA teammate Cole. So let’s look into the three obvious, non-Bauer avenues to building this 40 percent.
1. Free agency. Of the Yankees’ three own free agents, only Tanaka appears a viable option to return. I say go ahead and re-sign him … on the condition that you can’t convince Charlie Morton to come aboard. Morton, 37, is nearly five years older than Tanaka, yet I’d argue he possesses superior upside for next season.
Nevertheless, Morton hasn’t hid how much he loves the Tampa Bay area, where his family lives year-round. If he re-ups with the Rays, then the Yankees should roll the dice on Tanaka’s character and track record while recognizing that his 2020 — during which he took his family back to Japan during the shutdown, then suffered a concussion within minutes of spring training 2.0 starting, and still turned out adequate until the rough October — proved especially challenging for him. Possibly cheaper options include Jake Odorizzi and long-ago Yankees minor leaguer Jose Quintana.
2. Trades. This goes hand-in-hand with the DJ LeMahieu/Gleyber Torres/Luke Voit puzzle. If the Yankees re-sign the free agent LeMahieu, wouldn’t it make sense to play LeMahieu at first base and Torres at second and find a new shortstop? Voit could bring back a young, high-end starting pitcher in a trade. So could Torres, if the Yankees played LeMahieu at second with Voit at first. If LeMahieu signs elsewhere, then Miguel Andujar could be the trade chip, obviously bringing back a lesser return than would Voit or Torres.
The dollars they dole out (or don’t) for a free agent pitcher will factor into how experienced/expensive an arm they’d get in such a trade. Of the three young pitchers The Post’s Joel Sherman (our top talent scout) suggested in his annual “How to fix the Yankees” column, the Diamondbacks’ Zac Gallen and the Marlins’ Pablo Lopez are not yet arbitration-eligible, while the Rockies’ German Marquez will make $7.8 million next year, $11.3 million in 2022 and $15.3 million in 2023 — no small commitment.
3. Internal. It would stun if the Yankees, having exported three significant starting pitchers, imported more than two. They’ll count on more starts from their returning arms. There’s Severino. There’s Domingo German, assuming Hal Steinbrenner lets him back from his suspension for domestic violence. Then there is the very promising Deivi Garcia, the highly encouraging Clarke Schmidt and the interesting Michael King.
The more successful the Yankees are at finding the 40 percent to join Cole and Jordan Montgomery (whose 3.87 FIP projects a better 2021), the closer to 100 percent their chances of a title will become. The search is on.


newyorkpost--2020-11-14--Phil Mickelson in contention at Masters after ‘driving like a stallion’

AUGUSTA , Ga. — You ’ ve been waiting 19 months for this ...

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Through 36 holes, Phil Mickelson is in position to win his fourth Masters, which would tie his idol, Arnold Palmer, for four green jackets.
Mickelson is 5-under, four shots behind the leaders at 9-under, but he believes he should be in much better position entering the weekend — if not for his balky putter.
“I’m striking the ball exceptional, and I’m putting horrific,’’ Mickelson said Friday. “If I get that fixed this weekend, I’m going to make a run. I’m very frustrated and disappointed with the way I’ve putted. I’ve let eight, nine, 10 shots on the green, and it’s pathetic. I’m going to fix that and hopefully make a run.
“You can’t make those mistakes, give those shots up in this field, in this competition. But we’ve got 36 more holes, and I’m playing well enough. I struck it well enough to keep me in it despite probably being last in the field in putting. But I’m going to get that fixed for [Saturday’s] round.’’
Mickelson, who’s 50 and has struggled of late on the PGA Tour, has won the two Champions Tour events he’s played recently. Always in pursuit of hitting the ball longer, Mickelson put a 47-inch driver in his bag for this week (the average on Tour is about 45 inches).
Asked how he feels he’s driving the ball, Mickelson was not bashful.
“Awesome,’’ he said. “I’m driving like a stallion.’’
Asked for examples, he said, “I’m driving it over the trees on [number] 9 all the way down to the bottom, hitting wedge into 17, wedge into 14, 5-iron both days into [number] 2. I mean, I’m driving the ball very well. I’m hitting the ball great, and I’m putting awful. I’ve been putting well this year, and if I get this fixed for the weekend, I’m going to make a run.’’
Asked what his plans were to fix his putting, which produced several lip-outs on short par putts on Friday, Mickelson said, “I’m going to go get on a Quintic system right now and see if it’s alignment or stroke or path or what.’’
Stay tuned. If he gets the putting fixed, it could be an epic weekend. Jack Nicklaus is the oldest player ever to win a Masters, winning in 1986 at age 46. Mickelson is four years older than that and still feeling as frisky as a “stallion.’’


newyorkpost--2020-11-14--Fantasy football: Players to start, sit for NFL Week 10

Generosity is one of the best human traits you can ...

The Post’s Drew Loftis evaluates all the relevant fantasy football news ahead of Week 10 of the 2020 NFL season.
Big Weeks
J.D. McKissic RB, Washington, at Lions (FanDuel $5,300/DraftKings $4,900)
Antonio Gibson still will be the main ground threat, but McKissic is getting enough work, and targets out of the backfield, and the Lions can’t seem to stop running backs.
Jakobi Meyers WR, Patriots, vs. Ravens (FD $5,400/DK $4,500)
Forced into actions by a slew of injuries, over the past three weeks, he has the sixth-most targets in the league with 30, including 24 in the past two weeks.
Nelson Agholor WR, Raiders, vs. Broncos (FD $5,100/DK $4,900)
Has scored in four of his past five games, and the Broncos have a new habit of playing in shootouts.
Rob Gronkowski TE, Buccaneers, at Panthers (FD $6,100/DK $4,700)
He has scored in three of the past four games. Should benefit from coverage by Shaq Thompson.
Small Weaks
Joe Burrow QB, Bengals, at Steelers (FD $7,200/DK $5,700)
Expect Burrow to face an amount of pressure he hasn’t really seen yet from a Steelers D-line that should dominate the trenches.
Darrell Henderson RB, Rams, vs. Seahawks (FD $5,800/DK $5,900)
The Bills virtually ignored the running game last week vs. Seattle, with great success. Why wouldn’t the Rams try to mimic that, especially when their best weapons are in the passing game?
D.J. Chark WR, Jaguars, vs. GB (FD $6,600/DK $6,200)
The Jags would be much better off attacking the Packers weak run defense than stronger pass defense. Coming off a big game, bit he battled an illness this week. And we’re not ready to put trust in backup QB Jake Luton yet.
Hunter Henry TE, Chargers, at Dophins (FD $5,500/DK $4,100)
The Bolts had yielded zero TDs to tight ends all season until two to scrubs last week. Hunter has broken the double-digit barrier just once in the past five games.
