Perfect Hobby for Wade
So I was perusing today\’s West-Side Fish Wrap Factory\’s website today and came across a story about the Minneapolis Hash House Harriers. No, it\’s not what you think. I\’m not suggesting Wade take up smoking reefer. Hashing is the activity of running and drinking. Sometimes done before running, sometimes after, sometimes during. To get Wade…

Quick Hits: Sports Talkers
I had wanted to write a long indepth analysis/commentary on two specific sports stories. One was the resignation of Terry Ryan, other was the Patriots being busted for cheating.

They\’ve had great pitching for years, and it seems that the organization is incapable of adding enough hitters to win a title. They handed Cuddyer the…

Three Games?
The Minnesota Wild will take the ice tonight down three games to one in their NHL playoffs series with the Anaheim Ducks. They will do so without their leading ice-time defenseman, Kim Johnsson, who was sucker-punched at the end of Tuesday\’s victory by noted bounty hunter Brad May. Click here for a picture of the…

don\’t call him fat, call him tubby
huh. while i haven\’t followed gophers basketballl closely since the late \’90s, the prospect of a coach with smith\’s pedigree has me intrigued. a coach has to have quality players to succeed, and i don\’t get the impression that the gophs have a whole lot of those right now, but who knows if smith can…
