So I go to ESPN today and see that Jay Cutler is now being actively shopped by the Broncos. The Vikings better get their cards on the table and offer as much as they can. It is not everyday that a 25 year old Pro Bowl QB becomes available in a trade. Yeah, I know he hasn’t won anything yet and was a contributor in the Broncos collapse and Mike Shannahan subsequent firing, but here are three key reasons why the Vikings need to offer their first and third round picks (if that is enough).
1. Cutler is a NO-BRAIN UPGRADE over TJack and Sage Rosensucks.
2. AD and Cutler for 10 years sounds amazing. Imagine the running lanes that would become available with an above average QB behind center.
3. Whether or not the front office wants to admit it, the Vikes are built to win now. That is not going to happen with TJack or Rosenfels. Pat and Kevin Williams are getting older. ‘Toine just had his best year, but the guy will be 33 next year. Chester Taylor will be gone after this year (AD still needs a complement, that is the NFL nowadays). Our draft picks have been poor the last several years leaving our depth hurting; yes I know we have to give up more picks for Cutler, but he is a Pro-Bowler, kind of like the Allen trade last year.
theFlash is back…look for his highly anticipated AL Central Preview this weekend.
Brett Favre, not to be mistaken with a Brad Farve, was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in 1991. We all know what Brett Favre looks like, I tend to picture him in a Brewer’s uniform taking batting practice because it’s just freakin hilarious.
But what did Brett Favre look like in 1991 on the day that he was drafted? Great question. Luckily the Sun Herald was there to capture this moment. Whether it’s the rolled up tight jean shorts, or the hot chick in blue from pic 2, or the Favre 4 Heisman sign in his bedroom, this photos are amazing. Enjoy!
**UPDATE**
Here’s a link to the podcast from the KFAN discussion on RickRickert.com. Fast forward to around the 28 minute mark. Then once they get off topic go ahead to the 37-38 minute mark to hear them call yours truely a “chowderhead”.
Thank you KFAN for recognizing my true journalism skillz. I AM NOT RICK RICKERT AND HAVE NEVER CLAIMED TO BE ANYWHERE ON THIS SITE! But I do have an Accounting final tonight, so wish me luck (that should be enough to prove I’m not Rick Rickert)
Sorry about not having more posts but I’ve been busy with school and work. I also apologize for the trend of just posting embedded music videos from YouTube. Classes and work projects end April 13th so I will have more time to dedicate to you, my fans. Ha.
Any way, here’s what I’ve been playing non-stop for the last week. They’ll be on the party bus next month, so be prepared. What do you think?
I’m very happy that I can write this preview today. Because the Gophers are playing today, I have them in the tournament, barring any odd teams winning their confernence tourneys, like Baylor.
OK, let’s get this out of the way right now. I have $17.71 on MSU beating the Gopher’s by 6 points. I personally see that as a safe bet. I would have taken this bet if the point spread was 12. On to the preview.
The Gophers are 0-2 against MSU this year, suffering a 12 point loss at home and 29 point banger in East Lansing. Typically I would say “well it’s tough to beat a team 3 times in one season” but MSU killed us both games. The 12 point game was never close.
The game yesterday showcased the Gopher’s problems. They can’t make 3’s outside of William’s Arena. They don’t look inside enough. Hoffarber can’t pass. Hoffarber can’t shoot. Hoffarber can’t defend. They foul way too much. Tubby’s rotation is the dumbest shit I’ve seen. There is no way the Gopher’s can win today. And Tom Izzo is gonna make it rain….
I had plans to pump out an amazing preview for today’s Gophers v Northwestern game, then shit got messed up at work and I need to fix shit. So the preview is not going to happen. I was going to look at the other teams that are already in the tournament and see how it affects the Gophers fate. For example, Cleveland State upsetting Butler the other night means that that conference (is it the Horizon still or Conference America or something) is getting 2 teams in the tournament instead of 1. The Gophers need to hope that trend doesn’t continue, otherwise they’ll be hosting a few rounds of the NIT.
Anyway, to the game itself, the Gophers are favored by 2.5 points, which I think is ridiculous being that we lost the NW by 9 in Evanston and beat them by 27 in Minneapolis. On a neutral court, which it should be since NW doesn’t travel well, the Gophs SHOULD win by 10+. The problem is that it’s a neutral court and the Gophers can’t shoot worth shit on any court but Williams, that’s a fact. And the game is at 11am, I’ve seen the Gopher’s practice in the morning, they are not a morning team. The Gophs are 2-4 in games that start before 1pm. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how good the team is, if the players aren’t awake they can’t win. Tubby better have woke these fools up at 6am.
Last comment, Iverson better be playing today and Williams better stay on the bench. That’s it.
I have $25 on the Gopher’s to win by 3 points, and I’m going to be super pissed if they throw this game away. YOU HEAR ME WESTBROOK!
ASHWAUBENON — A 31-year-old man showed up at the Ashwaubenon Public Safety offices about 6:15 a.m. Tuesday wearing two sets of body armor to demand the return of a gun seized after he allegedly pointed it at a police officer last month.
Public Safety officers detained the man Tuesday morning and ended up wrestling him to the ground after he began to fight with officers, according to the agency.
Public Safety officers have referred the man to prosecutors for charges of resisting arrest, criminal damage to property and bail jumping.
I like the Lil Wayne part in this song, that’s really about it, only about 1 minute. It sounds good over Apologize. Much better than the original song the lyrics are from.
Alright, terrible white rap song… but it’s addicting. Nice Weezer beat. College. Reminds you of the good days.
Ya Boy! We Run LA. Complete 80’s feel. Not a great song, but has a nice chill and relaxing vibe.
So, Cory Johnson. I do not know of Cory Johnson. I’ve not stayed up to date with the Duluth high school basketball scene. But one of my 14 avid readers brought this gentleman to my attention.
The problem with me saying anything negative about Cory Johnson is that I have no idea who he is. But I do know that he is no Rick Rickert. According to the Iowa State men’s bball page, Cory won’t the Mr. Hustle award in 2007, Rickert wouldn’t have a shot at this title. Also, I don’t know Cory’s biography, but I’m guessing that he didn’t announce that he was God’s gift to the Arizona basketball community only to come back to Minnesota because he would be a nobody down there. Cory also didn’t declare for the NBA draft after 2 seasons only to become the pity pick for the local NBA team just to get cut and sent overseas.
I’m sorry. I don’t want to pick on my reader(s) or shoot down their ideas and suggestions, but I don’t feel comfortable about this. The only thing I can do is thank him for not choosing Minnesota. We have too many white guys who can’t play
In the Pop Champagne Remix, Ludacris says that line. I’m a huge hip-hop fan, it’s my music of choice, but I can’t stand stupid lines like this that make no sense at all. Someone please tell me what this could mean or make up something funny that it could mean. Thanks.
