Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend........

13) Joe Paterno needs a new agent; he made $1.03M last year, while nomad Nick Saban earned $3.8M at Alabama. Doesn't seem right.

12) Then there's Les Miles at LSU, whose contract says he has to be paid $1,000 more than any other SEC coach, so he apparently made at least $3,801,000 last season. JoePa needs to call Miles' agent.

11) What would happen if another SEC coach had the same clause put in his contract that Miles has?

10) New Mexico football coach Mike Locksley was accused of both sexual harassment and age discrimination recently, which is unusual only because he hasn't even coached in a game yet. Maybe Locksley can call Lane Kiffin for advice on how to break into a job quietly.

9) When San Diego State beat Fresno State in NCAA tournament in an elimination game Saturday, it was first NCAA tourney win for the Aztecs since 1990. Tony Gwynn has done a solid rebuilding job.

8) Freddie Lewis of the Giants is only major leaguer ever whose first two big league home runs were 1) a grand slam and 2) part of a cycle.

7) Four of the starters in Florida Marlins' rotation are 6-7 or taller.

6) You'd think with three sons as major league catchers that the dad in the Molina family was a backstop himself, but no-- he was not only a second baseman, but good enough to be in the Puerto Rican baseball Hall of Fame.

5) Adrian Gonzalez is the first major leaguer to 20 HRs this season.

4) Angels trailed Seattle 6-0, rallied to win 9-8, but Scioscia has to be concerned with his starting pitching.

3) Edwin Jackson allowed only three baserunners in eight innings as Detroit blanked the Orioles 3-0 at Camden Yards. Jackson was lone major league starting pitcher to finish the 8th inning Sunday.

2) Playoff teams, if baseball playoffs started Monday morning:
AL: Bronx-Detroit-Texas-Red Sox
NL: Philadelphia-Milwaukee-Los Angeles-Cardinals

1) What genius decided the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals had to be played on consecutive nights? At what point is it the job of the commissioner to step in, tell TV no? Hockey is a great, physical game; players need a day to recover in between games of the Finals.
