LIONS (+9.5) over Vikings
Has Brad Childress ever given an interview in which it didn't look like he should be staring through penitentiary glass holding a black phone?
(Wait a second, did I just pick the Lions? That was an accident. Hold on.)

Not to beat a dead horse since the Wolves have finally dumped one of the worst GM's in history, but lets take a final look at the flawed theory that trading away OJ Mayo and replacing him with Mike Miller's outside game so we could get Kevin Love could make any sense at all.

In the NFL record books you’ll find one interesting WR record – Torry Holt along with Marvin Harrison are the only receivers with multiple 1,600 yard receiving seasons. It just happens both players are now free agents having been cut by their respective teams. With...

The pink elephant in the room is QB. What will the Vikings do at QB? In today’s NFL you have a short window to be great, then a window to rebuild so you can have a short window to be great again.
All Day isn’t getting younger. With LT’s latest woes it’s safe to say an [...]

Another day in the StarCaps drama brings us a little closer to the end. Today with the courts getting invovled it is looking a little more promising for the players to play this weekend, but probably not beyond that. It seems as though there are three main issues at hand.

A common theme amongst Minnesota sports fans is having things begin to go our way and then having the proverbial “rug” being pulled out from underneath us. Well, we can add the Vikes to the list for 2008. I know, I know, all cities and states have their relative issues...

Pitching v. Hitting, Take Pitching

With the Twins struggling to win 3 of their last 10 I thought I'd dive into some AL stats.
As a team the Twins rank 3rd in batting avg and 4th in runs in the AL. But they rank 12th in ERA and 14th in both opponent batting avg and OPS. There is no doubt the Twins posses the greatest...

Let's stop all of these comparisons. It is not doing anyone any good and those who dare to make the leap (yes I said leap) to put Kobe at Jordan's level is nothing short of asinine.
I'm not trying to make the case that Kobe isn't a great player. He is a great and...

I didn't really break it down like I did last year. Well, I guess that's because second round projections aren't that interesting. Here are my two scenarios: 1) Vikings trade down to the late second or early third round to get an additional 4th round pick. They then use...

Ok, with 4 games remaining the Timberwolves are currently slotted in the 3rd best position in the draft lottery, which would give them a 15.6% chance of landing the #1 overall pick. However, at 19-59 the Timberwolves are only one game in the win column ahead of the...
