Good day on the grid today, Twins and Vikings with long established franchises, go get your low scores!

The last time the Vikings faced Jones, he threw for 382 yards, 2 TD's, no interceptions with a passer rating of 119.8 (in '22). Let's hope the vastly improved defense this year doesn't allow for Magical Mac Jones to rekindle his career on Sunday.

I was totally stumped by the TWolves/Pelicans-Hornets today, I think the first time I've ever run into that with a Minnesota team. Once I clicked onto the summary, I see that Randle and NAW played with the Pelicans, which I guess I should have known, but otherwise? Bobby Jackson? Dante...

I did the same 😎

Hey it's been awhile since I've posted a "Holy Hell, I didn't know/don't remember that he played for that franchise!" so I'm turning my attention towards the Friars today, aka the San Diego Padres. It wasn't so long ago that I predicted that the Rockies would be the only team that didn't have a...

Where?

Buzz has a beauty of a ‘76 Topps card that captures the old Braves uniform very well. There’s a fun write-up on his Baseball Reference page including why Pedro Borbon once tore Buzz’s cap to shreds with his teeth!

It’s a fine time to break out Buzz Capra too

After rewatching Get Shorty this past weekend, I think it's time for a Dennis Farina appreciation post. Can you think of a movie where you've seen Farina and he hasn't made it markably more enjoyable, because I cannot. A couple months ago I watched his debut in Thief (with James Caan) and was...

Where's the enthusiasm for a Wolves W? It's not every day you can beat a starting lineup that trots out 39 year old Taj Gibson. Goodness, has there been a more anonymous franchise since the Bobcats/Hornets rebooted in 2004? 4 seasons above .500, 3 playoff appearances, no advancement past the...

Now that you mention Edwin Jackson, I think we both had a major oversight. . .Ron "Papa" Jackson--actually of course, where's Reggie? How did we miss him? Let's see what we can do with a Twins-only edition: C 1B Ron Jackson 2B SS Ron Washington 3B LF Craig Monroe CF Michael A. Taylor RF Dan...

Utility player-Homer Bush? Now that you have my mind rolling. . . CF Willie Wilson RF Trot Nixon LF Claudell Washington (played more right field, but was in LF quite a bit too) And a solid four man rotation with Johnson, Whitey Ford Mudcat Grant Reggie Cleveland And on the bathpaths, Willie...

The Twins are hearing good things about their bullpen sessions and believe there's some magic left in their arms:

Ahhh, she was my crush back in 11th grade--probably best that I didn't pursue her type to settle down with ;)

I found this on the airline menu for my recent trip and despite being exhausted, I was transfixed for the nearly 2 hours of this film. Your recommendation was spot on--it's the best recently released movie I've seen in quite awhile. So many moments in this movie, big and small, that were so...

Just got back from a trip on an airline that had a great movie lineup of classics, so I've got some thoughts on. . . In the Heat of the Night--I first watched this in high school and rewatching it so many years later, wow, has it held up wonderfully. Norman Jewison (the director) keeps the...

You must have been thinking Glenn Davis on the other side of the infield when you typed in Caminiti. Give yourself a mulligan ;)

MNF, right? It's our good fortune that these boneheaded plays always seem to find the bright lights.

Who did it first, Jackson or Leon Lett in the Super Bowl? Had to be Lett, right?

October was pretty rough for me--I was knocked out of perfection on October 5--a Saturday no less!--when I made the mistake of thinking Tony O. had 2000 hits +.300 average. Oliva finished his career with 1917 hits, alas. I also was struck hard by the expansion era teams during the...
