$64K means playing naked. I would demand another $100K to wear a uniform.

Agree. He's probably going to be holding a clipboard 90% of the time, but for $840,000 per year I'd stand on the sidelines with a clipboard naked. The league would probably kick in another million a year to force me to wear a uniform. It would be a tense negotiation.

It's not a top-tier receiving corps. Not saying Maye would have done better with a better set of WRs/TEs, but the Seahawks' D was all over him all day long. NE just doesn't have the personnel to make an aggressive defense pay. And I like Brosmer, but we saw the problems he had against the...

Mafe almost got a sack. Maye unloaded the ball just as Mafe was getting into his bubble. I don't know what his status is vis-a-vis free agency, but he's the kind of guy who is going to stick around in the league because he's so athletic. Seattle uses a hybrid 4-3 that incorporates a lot of...

Great toe drag on the TD.

If it was really hot outside after a Twins' game, it was a refreshing breeze on the way out.

I've worked around the Legislature all my adult life (which is getting to be a very long time) and I remember the whole discussion around building the Metrodome and basically how Mike Lynn painted the Twins into a corner and convinced the Gophers (thanks Sid!) to go along as well. What I...

Izzo will be remembered as a great coach, but he really gets a pass (as did Bobby Knight) as the media calls his teams tough, disciplined, physical, blah, blah, and another blah. Dick Bennett was probably the master of the approach of basically having his guys tackle the opponents early in the...

Augsburg College grad who wrestled and played football and baseball there. Great story.

I was already relegated to the corner, so I couldn't risk both her wrath and that of my parents.

I was actually thinking of my second grade teacher from 1960 who once uttered "Can February March? No, but April May."

Was Luke Tressel Dick's son? I seem to remember Luke being on Mason's staff for a bit.

I'm not criticizing April. There's pressure everywhere, but I think for coaches the pros are the place to be. I just think the tweet from the Badgerhead was goofy.

What a stupid tweet by this chucklehead. Leonhard gets passed over for the Badgers' head coaching job, gets passed over for the Packers' defensive coordinator position, and ends up in Buffalo. Yet somehow, the Badger faithful can look at the situation and find a way to dis Fleck. Don't get...

I was hoping April would stick around until May.
