Glen Perkins is available. Same age as Verlander who is also back in the AL Central.

With the expanded CFP and NFL set on total domination, there really aren't many "good TV times", in terms of exclusive prime time windows. Between the CFP 1st Round and New Year's there I think there were just a couple of nights to squeeze in a Consolation Bowl. 2 maybe 3? Late afternoon games...

Perhaps Neal takes solace in that he's the only player you can read the name in this iconic photo.

Broten had a pretty quiet Olympiad, despite being one of their leading scorers during the 61 Game Pre-Olympic Tour. No memorable goals, but did score against the Czechs. I would argue that Mike Ramsey had just as good of an NHL Career as Broten, probably better. Speaking of the game against...

3rd Bowl to be cancelled this year joining the LA Bowl & The Bahamas Bowl.

Root cause.

The Clips had a pretty good Super Sunday.

The Vikings only making the Playoffs 4 times since 2015 at least achieves mediocrity when compared to the other NFC Teams. They rank Tied for 8th with the Saints amongst the 16 Teams. You can choose to celebrate mediocrity to whatever your heart desires. There is no credit for Playoff Wins by...

The Vikings have not been one of those 6-8 teams to advance for six seasons running. That SUCKS. 68% of the NFL has accomplished that. The Vikings are part of the 32% failures.

Twins Alert on the Grid. "Soup" is my only Newbie for the Twinks. I was surprised Yadier Molina was also a 1st Timer. Also RIP Mickey Lolich who passed away last week. His 1968 World Series performance was one for the ages...

The 2024 Vikings had two chances to get to the Divisional Round and came up small both times. Season ender at Detroit they got run out of Ford Field, in what was a game to determine the NFC North Winner, a Bye and Home Field. They could not do what Washington did just two weeks later, defeat...

Depends on how they would have played the following week against the 49ers in 2022. We'll never know, because they lost to that "shitty NY Giants team" (at the Zygi Dome) which is really quite damning in and of itself. The fact that KOC lost to that crew diminishes the confidence that he has...

Thanks for pointing out that since 2020 the opportunities to win Playoff games increased from minimum of 4 teams to now 6, the franchise the Wilfs own have still failed to Win such a contest. Now the only teams with greater futility did it when the field was only 6 teams per conference. I find...

I said prior to the season that Rodger would likely lead the Steelers to the Playoffs and likely fail to win once there. Facts. Also a fact (per SKOR North) since the Wilfs took over the Vikings in 2005 only 4 franchises have won fewer Playoff games (3) than the Vikings: Lions Browns Raiders...
