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. Sadly, life (both work and non-work) have gotten in the way. As they have for much of this year. Good and and on http://www.ljscope.com/nwq/metformin-500-mg/ is she:…

There isn\’t anything we here at SP can say except that are thoughts and prayers go out to those directly affected by this tragedy. Although it may sound trite, it does perfectly capture our feelings, and…

Drunken Idiots in Blaine
The title of this post might seem a bit redundant. I mean we are talking about Blaine (the city, not Mr. Arneson who isn\’t a drunken idiot, just a bit on the sexist side). What prompted this post was an article in the Strib. The basic version is that the cops are spending so much…
