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..
