Top 5 quote from BS
"I cannot do two things at once I can barely blink my eyes and breathe maybe that is why I always have dry eyes.." I respeCK that
A couple of things I would like to clear up on my side of the Daunte debate as a Vikings Fan. I think he is an amazing athlete.
He has everything you want in a quarterback for physical ability. Daunte plays footbal for Daunte this is not unusual but I am not sure this is who you want leading your team. He is a very immature person not unusual for a football player (please read all previous posts) but not someone you want leading your team.. It was said again last night he is not good at reading defenses how is that possible this his eight year.. He doesn't react well under pressure probably not a good trait.. Has he grown or become a better "student of the game" in the last 3-4 years.. No in fact he is worse. You cannot rely on him to win games from him.. If he could just relax and run within the offense he could have been one of the best QB's ever and he still might become one if he will get over him self. If he could have been paired up with a great O-line and the Randy Moss of Old who knows he might be a Superbowl contender but he is not.. If Miami is counting on him to win games they will lose.. He is the anti-player maker.. When he tries to do something special he fails.. When you need to pass he cannot look off a defender and make the smart play.. All that said I think his will to play this year is nothing short of incredible although selfish as usual and dumb.. He is about 70% healthy and if you watch him really run he is going to damage his other leg but he would rather prove people wrong..
I hope all goes well for him in his home state.. But no matter how much success he has down there.. I cannot knock the vikings for going in a different direction.. That is not to say I love the Brad Johnson quarterback situation I just think they are looking farther down the road.
OK I will post some more later..

I agree with your Daunte take. This is from Bill Simmons (aka Sports Guy) ESPN.com article today: As always with a bad Daunte game, the numbers failed to reflect the depth of his suckitude -- grounders to wide-open receivers on third downs, lob passes to opposing cornerbacks in the end zone, receivers running back to the bench and shaking their heads, interceptions in crunch-time served on a platter to free safeties and outside linebackers. When you wager on Daunte, he doesn't just beat you. No, he pulls your soul out of your body and stomps on it a few times. After nearly a decade of making picks for my column, I should have known better.
D,
Had a hearing today, and afterward, this special agent I'd been questioning and I get to talking...he said he was a friend of yours from your college football days (Joe Jacox), and that you were a cool guy (although a bit of a limp wristed blocker)...he also said though that he ran into you in St. Paul recently and said hello, but you had this frightened look on your face, and were real quiet. I of course had to explain your impending gender reassignment surgery, etc., and your trepidation at taking on the name "Patricia"...
...Seriously though, I told him where you work...and said you probably wouldn't mind if he called you there...he's married with kids, seemed like a great guy...I knew his brother Willis at UND before Willis went to play with the CFL and later the arena football league...anyway...if you want to call him, he's based in your work city, and I have his business card...let me know...
