Pop Quiz. Quick. Burkina Faso. A small country in West Africa that won its first-ever Olympic medal or Gov. Cuomo’s 12th accuser?

The season premiere of “Hard Knocks” airs Tuesday night. HBO decided to go with the Dallas Cowboys over the Albany Predators.

The Tigers visit the Orioles and I haven’t been this excited since the invention of pretzel crust pizza. Detroit’s Casey Mize (6-6, 3.57 ERA) shut out Baltimore for seven innings on July 29. The O’s Keegan Akin (0-5, 7.66 ERA) is hard to recommend. Akin’s 25 runs allowed over his past 22 innings speak volumes. The Orioles have lost five straight and are 17-34 at Camden Yards. Play 20 units on the overachieving Tigers.

Royal pains. The Yankees let Kansas City hang around but finally put the pesky Royals away in 11 innings. Final score 8-6. Down -765 piniellas.
