Minnesota ViCant's

The NFL draft is Saturday.. You can almost feel the anticipation in the air.. I hope this year we can get another Iowan with a bad knee.. I am proud to say this year that I will not be watching it live .. (I might tivo it) Or hey maybe we can get a quarterback who can't throw or a offensive lineman that can't block or defensive end that can't sack the quarterback( no we already have two of those) or maybe a receiver that can't catch (no we used the 7th pick 2 years ago on one of those..) Maybe they have some running backs that can't run…I guess it all comes together when we have an offensive coach that can't coach offense (even though it is a kick ass offense) or can't call plays.. Hmm it is all coming together.. We got him to run a tight ship.. Wait that ship doesn't float when we have had 10 arrests this year.. Yes 10 , can you imagine another sport where it is normal for the players to get arrested.. Oh yeah it happens in the NBA.. I am going to start watching more hockey at least they don't arrest them for fighting.. No I can't, I don't get the outdoor life channel or whatever it is that they have stuck hockey on.

Ok I need get this out first.. I am so frustrated with this that I have not been able to even blog about it.. The Timberwolves are going to bring Kevin McHale back. Apparently they where in discussions to bring in Matt Millen but they broke down since he is not one of us so they stuck with the horse that got us here. I think this is part of the David Stern death sentence for the Joe Smif fiasco. You will lose 5 first round draft choices and you have to have Kevin McHale in charge for 10 years.. Sort of like when Jordan was forced to play baseball because of his gambling problem.. .. The team entered the season with 8 guards and then "McHale says at the last press conference we need some bigs. It took him 82 games to realize that." Wow there are some chemistry issues when you have 8 guards for two positions. I have a plan for the Minnesota State Magnet.. (props) Install the triangle of leadership at target center.. I would put BOH in charge of player personnel. I would put SW in charge of the coaching staff.. And I would be the official ball buster.. If BOH loses his mind and wants to sign any player to more than a 2 year deal I kick BOH square in the jewels.. If SW starts TDUD I kick BOH again because he signed him and because I like kicking BOH.. I cut them all every last one of them that has contract of more than 2 years.. I would also put in an ugly clause that does not allow you to sign any player that looks uglier than me.. That will keep out THUD,Cassell maybe that won't work I set the bar pretty low.. No one on that team deserves the salary they are getting from McHale on down yes Hoiberg too yeah I know you have a bad heart and all but still someone has to say enough is enough.. I can't take it anymore you can't have a successful league or team when guys like Ricky Avis (No D in Davis) making the kind of money he does when he says and acts like this. I quote " I play defense when the teem needs me to.". (What the heck does that mean Avis) I have plenty of anger but I just have to stop somewhere.. Garnett you lost me when you decided to sit at home while "your" team finished the season. You make 20 million a year and you don't have the class to show up to the game.. That was bush league I used to think you would rise above that but you did not. Yes this is a horrible team but you are not a great player unless you are a great leader as well.. Just my opinion take your 20 million and enjoy it you will never win a title..

So back to the Vikes
Here is my prediction.. They are much smarter than we are so they are going to get guys that will help this team in the long run Yeah... I am not a very bright guy but if you want to get a stadium here you might want to get someone in here that make people want to watch.. And this is a thought it is kind of difficult to run an offense when you don't have a guy that can throw and you have a high jumper receiving the ball.. So I look for the Vikings to draft this Landry guy from LSU at safety even though we have 5 safeties on the team and it is arguably the best position on the current roster.. Or if possible they will take another D end so we can have yet another first round draft choice that can't rush the passer.. Seriously here is what I would do.. Either trade a player or a pick to move up and get Calvin Johnson or slide down in the draft and pick up a few quality receivers like the Mechum kid from Tennessee or Garret from USC.. Staying at 7 buys you nothing I believe you would get just as much value near the 20th pick. I think they really need to draft at least two more corners.. Maybe one to return kicks and another to backup and play the nickel.. I would fill this roster with some playmakers regardless of size or position I believe you can get some tweaner guys that are good possession receivers/running backs that could break some plays after they catch the ball.


Weight/Workout
My knee is still hurting but I keep icing and running on it sparingly. My weight is sitting right around 229 or so which is pretty good but I am trying to build some tone before I get any lighter.. I will be in Germany next week so I will have to stick to walking and playing badminton.. I like playing it because it gives you an opportunity to say shuttlecock and make people around you really uncomfortable but talking about when you really smashed that shuttlecock..


GWE
JLO my blogs have been boring and few and far between I could use a great topic or statement form you to get me going again.. Looking forward to the planning session on Saturday.. What film should we see?

BOH turned 44 wow you think he would have aged better.. Well it is what it is..

Crap one more thing.. IJ what is the Penfold that we had the other night.. That was just a step up in my mind..

IJ just reminded me it was a Penfold Bin 389 a very good wine to impress people with I give it 3.5 baldies.. Rich smooth full bodied.

Popped Balloon

Out

Sometimes it snows in April

Sometimes you feel so bad..

Ok.. No excuse I just need to quit being so lazy and start posting more.. Lets run down a few updates..

We are going to have a brief name change on the site.. One of the original characters (BS) in this blog continues to amaze me with his feats of stupidity. I used to keep him around simply because he is as bald and ugly as I am but he always maintained the upper hand by being thinner and smarter than me… (Sort of like being the best cruise line in Greece..) But upon further review he is still thinner than me but he is equally as dumb.. So from this point forward I will reference BS as BOH as in dumber than a Bag of Hammers..

I am not going to complain about the weather it is just too easy and personally I have succumbed to the beast this year.. We had a year of no snow until March but effectively have had winter conditions from October until Mid April. If I wasn't as dumb as BOH I would have moved already but you get used to it..

Weight has been a been tougher than ever to move this last five pounds but hey I finally hit a number this 5lbs lighter than I was 15 years ago at my wedding.. I hit 225 before Easter Dinner 229 after.. So hey I was feeling pretty good about myself since I have mantained this whole healthy thing through a pulled porkstring a torn veal and now a torn mcl.. So the following morning I went for the ultimate test I attempted to shave my head and face without wearing my second skin (white t shirt) in front of the mirror.. Well after looking at my misshapen cranium acne ridden complexion and overall popped balloon upper body.. I opted to put the second skin back on brush the vomit off my teeth and vowed to myself to never do that again until I am sub 210 and have at least attempted some sort of weight lifting program..


Please skip


I am going to add something new to the blog just really for me but feel free to give me your opinion.. I am going to be adding the wine that I am drinking and what I thought of it so that I can remember what to buy next.. IJ and went to the Hasels nickel wine sale last week.. Great idea if you want to try a ton of different types of wine and get some decent deals on stocking your wine rack at home.. So here goes and again I am too dumb to remember since I looked at so many different things that day but I believe IJ and I had a tremendous red with a couple of steaks on the grill this was a great wine for the money Pedroncelli Motherclone Zinfandel under 10 bucks at the wine sale..
I really enjoyed the big full flavor of this.. And I am now starting to think that Zinfadel is my favorite grape.. Since most of my favorite reds have Zin in them..


I wanted to find a resling that wasn't too sweet for me and that my wife would like as well.. After tasting a few at the store I wound up buying Dr. Loosen Riesling.. We shared it with my bro and his wife and really is the perfect wine before dinner or with cheese and crackers(what isn't) any way I am going to be keeping a supply of this around since it turned out to be a very nice smooth wine that even my wife enjoyed and that was not to sweet..


Vikings..
I am completely bored with them

Wolves
I am so angry with this entire organization.. I have hard time believing I will follow them next year unless the organization is gutted from McHale down the line and most of the roster is just plain cut..

Twins
It is going to be tough year if we play the Yankees a lot but since we don't it should be a great year..

HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAVYYYYYYYYYYDDDDD
