  • Move aside CNN… and ESPN

    While perusing deadspin.com the other day I came across the announcement that the Onion News Network (when did The Onion move into videos, I know they always had the AV Club, but a full out online channel?)… where was I… oh yes, the Onion News Network had launched a sports network appropriately titled Onion Sports…

  • Pet Peeve: Midwest

    Number 1 in the 2385 part series of things that annoy me. Today’s topic is use (or should I say ‘misuse’) of the word “Midwest”. I really hate when people use the term “Midwest” to basically mean anything west of New York and east of Los Angeles. (Besides, we all know that the proper term…

  • The Best Thing I Ever Ate

    So I was watching Food Network the other night and came across a show called \”The Best Thing I Ever Ate\”. It featured different Food Network \”stars\” (I put that in quotes because for the most part they were all minor characters from Food Network like Mario Battali\’s Sous Chef on Iron Chef, the guy…

  • Revisionist Short Term History

    In case you hadn\’t notice, our 43rd President has been on a grand farewell tour over the past several days. Giving several speeches, holding his final press conference (which brought the total up to 9 for his eight years, right?), and tonight he will give his farewell speech to the nation. Most of our recent…

  • 2008 Vikings Season Wrap Up

    Researches say that the secret to beauty lies in symmetry. People who have symmetrical features are found to be rated more beautiful in studies. Architecture that is symmetrical tends to be more aesthetically pleasing. So there must be some beauty in the Vikings season as it ended the way it began.

  • Week 16: Vikings vs. Falcons

    The Vikings game versus the Falcons was moved to 3:15 this past Sunday to become the \”national game\” for Fox. However, I am in the New York area for the Holidays and unfortunately Fox chose to show the Eagles/Redskins in this market. But never fear, via the internet I was able to watch the game…

  • Week 15: Vikings @ Cardinals

    If I had told you before the Vikings v. Cardinals game that one of the quarterbacks would have a rating of over 139.0; we all would have assumed that would have been Kurt Warner picking apart the porous Vikings secondary. But we would have been wrong.

  • If I Ran The World: Gay Marriage Edition

    The furor over California\’s passage of Proposition 8, an amendment to the state\’s constitution banning same-sex marriage, continues to boil. Newsweek had a recent cover story discussing whether or not the Bible supports or condemns gay marriage. I found the article poorly researched and not well written, something I would expect on a blog (insert…

  • Week 14: Vikings @ Lions

    (An open letter to Gus Frerotte from Minnesota Vikings Fans) Dear Gus, There was a time when you and we just clicked. You came into our life when we needed you the most. We were troubled, having a difficult time with Tavaris, and you were there to provide stability and guide us through troubled times.…

  • Week 13: Vikings vs. Bears

    As I walked through the cold toward the Metrodome last Sunday night I was nervous. Make no mistake; I want the Vikings to win their division. My disdain for the Bears and Packers far outweighs my disdain for Coach Brad Childress, washed up quarterback Gus Frerotte, and whoever the Vikings special teams coach is. Even…
