2 things: I love entourage, and how is it like 50 degrees in MN?

Vick makes debut

Mike Vick played his first game for the Eagles last night, and he impressed many. Vick went 4 of 4 as QB, and ran some routes as a WR. Vick is getting a second chance in life and it's good to see he is making the right decisions and moving on with life. If he can return to the high caliber football player he was in Atlanta, I see good things coming for the Eagles. Maybe the Vikings should have picked him up for 10 million less than what we payed for old man Favre. I can't wait to see what happens this year.

For the dudes

Operation Pet Bee. Post op stage 1. You'll notice a hair tied to his leg.

It's hard to tell, but this is a bee tied to a human hair. It flies around like a pet!

Remember me?

I thought I'd take this time to go back in NBA history and point out one of the top 5 draft busts ever!! Sure Adam Morrison was a great college basketball player. Still, I hated his guts and made it known. He thought he was top dog with his hideous stache, nappy hair, and an un-athletic build. I knew that Morrison would never be good beyond a couple great statistical years at Gonzaga. I'd just like to say "I told you so" and please feel free to laugh in Adam Morrison's face.

Minnesota Favre Vikings Fever

Well well well, look what we have here. Brett Favre decided to play for the Vikings after all. The fact that he changed his mind again doesn't surprise me. The fact that he is making up stories about the communication between the Vikings front office does. I've heard that his daughter said she wanted Brett to play for the vikes and thats why he changed his mind. I've heard that Childress called Brett and asked him to reconsider. I've also heard that he took a dump and the poo took the shape of a the vikings "horn" logo. Who cares what made him decide to play for Minnesota. The fact is he will be the starting QB and he makes the team better.
I was torn at first when I heard he signed a 25 Million dollar 2 year deal. First of all, he will be 40 in October and that is old. I question if he'll hold up through the entire season. Second, what about the rest of the Vikings team? They all went through 2 a days and slept in dorm rooms. Then in comes Favre on a private jet followed by ride in a cushy escalade to Winter Park and begins taking snaps with the first team right off the bat? Not fair in my mind. Lastly, Brett has been putting the fans through turmoil as well. Is he coming? Is he not? Then he is talking to Childress. Then he retires "for good." As a Minnesota fan I finally felt relief when Brett's "decision" was made a few weeks back. Sage looked good in the first pre-season game and I was excited. The next day I hear Favre is going to sign a deal. It was a roller coaster ride as a fan so I can't imagine what it has been like for the rest of the Vikings. Unless of course they knew all along and this was a conspiracy. Who the heck knows?
Overall I'm glad to see a Hall of Fame QB come to the Vikings and make us a super bowl contender this season. But if Brett sucks I will hate him forever.

Wolves land Rambis

The Minnesota Timberwolves finally land a big name coach. Kurt Rambis worked along side Phil Jackson for years, and now the wolves will get to work with him as head coach. I see a very successful Timberwolves team in the near future. It's about time we have something to look forward to in Minnesota sports. We need a championship ASAP.

Two For The Money

Matthew McConaughey and Al Pacino star in this sports betting movie inspired by a true story. Grade = A-
Bobby Lang (Matthew McConaughey) is a Division 1 quarterback who wrecks his knee during a spectacular game winning play. While he rehabs over the next 6 years, Lang offers picks for college football via a 900 line. He makes very little money, but picks 80% winners consistently. This sparks interest with Walter Abrams (Al Pacino), owner of the biggest sports betting company in NY. Abrams recruits Lang to work for him. Money starts rolling in and Lang establishes a well know alter ego named John Anthony, all for the company. Well things are successful and business is booming until "John Anthony" can't pick winners any longer. This is when, of course, things go wrong. I wont give away the ending, but I can tell you there is a twist you would never expect. I highly recommend the film. It is as Tony the Tiger would say - "Grrrrrrrrrrrreat!"

Back to my roots at Lake Minnetonka for a couple days.

The love of my life. Gets me through those rough days.
