Do you see Eli as a HOF'er? I just can't. He's like Flacco in my mind (and yes, I know he's got one more Super Bowl in his pocket). Looking at his career comps on football reference, seems a lot closer in my mind to Donovan McNabb and Carson Palmer than Ben Roethlisberger and Warren Moon.

I went with: Halos: Rob Wilfong (.5%) Cards: Steve Braun (.7%) White Sox: Phil Roof (.2%) (thank you '70s baseball card collection) Funny, besides Braun, Herr, Tom Brunansky, and Jim Kaat I was having a really tough time thinking of Twins/Cards yesterday, so I just took a look at the...

Top row: Carew, Puckett, Dozier Middle row: David McCarty, Molitor, Knoblauch Bottom row: Scott Ullger, Killebrew, Gaetti

I was able to use all Twins today and kept my overall score under 10–good luck to you all-I will reveal my grid later as there’s sure to be a lot of crossover with some of the categories.

And as little as I saw the Vikings live or even in highlights, when Turner flashed, it was noticeable--he has the look of a guy who can be a nightmare for years to come. Might not happen, but I'm puzzled about the criticism on the pick at this point, especially as mentioned, he was playing...

This is an incredibly interesting graph, not just from the perspective of the Twins lack of spending, but the vast disparity between those top two franchises and everyone else--if you add up the entire NL and AL Central franchises plus the Angels plus the Marlins--all those teams combined would...

What can I say? I was 9 years old and an AWA fanatic 🤷‍♂️

That may be true and I’m no Jeter-stan, but I think it’s undeniable that he’s a no doubt about it HOF’er.

How bout a little love for Ellis Valentine and Jesse Barfield too? One of baseball's great joys is the right fielder with a gun for an arm, as you've already stated.

To me, the most ironic aspect of all of this is the only player who has ever been unanimous in election is Mariano Rivera--a specialist. A specialist who threw roughly the same amount of innings in his career as Carlos Silva. A specialist whose particular craft the baseball cognoscenti had...

When it came to the Twins SS, I had a bevy of riches sitting in front of me-Jiminez, Ron Washington, Lenny Faedo, Chuck Baker, Alvaro Espinoza-all that mediocrity between the post-Smalley and pre-Gagne era of shortstop play with the Twins. The early '80s had some lean years of Twins fandom, but...

As usual, my baseball card collection of the '70s/80s was what delivered for me--I'm currently sitting at 10%, that Orioles/Royals square is the only one that kept it from one of my all-timers.

Twins-Wolves-Vikings trifecta on the grid today! Go hunt those low scores.

Trent Tucker was my first favorite Gopher; Willie Burton was the best player on the renaissance of the program following the Mitch Lee fallout. Two great Golden Gophers. If this article is about the 5 best Gophers (my achievements in college) to make it to the NBA, there's a good argument for...

I came across 1980's The Dogs of Wars on one of my streaming services the other day and saw that it was rolling off the service at the end of the month, so I gave it a watch-the descriptor said it was a mercenary movie based on a Frederic Forsyth novel (who also wrote The Day of the Jackal)...

He provided a great guest spot on one of the best songs from the '80s:

He also designed and wore this t-shirt:

I think you hit it on the head-I feel like anyone that was in the John Prine galaxy possesses that kind of ethos. Not that he was the progenitor of that movement (I read a book some time ago about the outlaw country origins and he was brought into the fold by the likes of Guy Clark and Jerry...

I had a rough day on the Grid—7 of 9, with the no-hitters getting me. When I wasn’t flaying about, I was putting Twins to get use-the first row, vertically (one team) had Puck, Hrbek, and Willie Norwood all sub 1%. I wonder if Olivia would have garnered a lower score than Cordova-I used him in...
