(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)
1.)—On this date in 1973: John Hadl threw four first half touchdown passes to Harold Jackson in the Los Angeles Rams, 37-31, victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys were driving for a late score but LA safety Al Clark intercepted Roger Staubach to secure the win.

3.)—Shohei Ohtani stays in the Dodgers’ lineup for NLCS Game 3 (tonight vs. Milwaukee, 8 p.m. ET on FS1). Manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani was “adamant” he can help despite knee/biceps issues and a deep slump (3-for-20 this postseason, no homers since mid-August). Brewers lead the series 2-0.
4.)—The Dallas Cowboys have hired Mike Pettine as a senior defensive assistant/senior adviser to the defensive staff to aid DC Christian Parker. Pettine was the Cleveland Browns head coach in 2014 & 2015 and compiled a 10-22 record.

I get that Ohtani is a superstar. But at what point does Dave say to him that in order for the team to be better, he needs to sit. An auto out at this point. DePaula has a great eye for the strike zone and usually doesn’t swing at pitches way off the plate or at eye level.
1) Hadl to Jackson was a thing , explosive combo for a couple years , great offensive teams
