Vikings' Punter Considers Changing His Name To 'World Of Warcraft'
Do you love video games so much that that you would consider changing your name over them? No? well...Chris Kluwe does!
Vikings Clinch a Playoff Spot, Lions Stay Perfect
By eking out a one-point victory over the Giants, who mostly sent in their second team for the second half, the Vikings didn't even need to wait out the Texans victory over the Bears to win a very mediocre division and clinch a playoff berth with at least one home game. They will probably see the Cowboys next week, though there may be a rematch against the Falcons, whom they faced last week. The biggest concern for the Falcons in that game was the Vikings vomit getting on their uniforms. Post your predictions here.
Laurie Coleman Gets Daunte Culpepper's Lawyer
While Rod Blagojevich is picking R. Kelly's attorney to be his own, Laurie Coleman and Norm Coleman picked their top-notch lawyers in light of the FBI investigating wrongdoing related to the Colemans. Laurie picked Daunte Culpepper's successful lawyer, Earl Gray.
Pat and Kevin Williams Suspended
Vikings defensive linemen Kevin Williams and Pat Williams have been suspended for the last 4 regular season games. Both players had taken a weight loss supplement called "StarCaps." The supplement itself isn't banned by the NFL, but it contains an unlisted ingredient that is. Both Williams' argued that they had no way of knowing the banned ingredient was in the product. Sounds reasonable to me.
How Good Is Good Enough?
Another day another bullpen failure for this eminently likable 2008 edition of the Minnesota Twins. Strib writer Jim Souhan, who so presciently clamored for regular innings on behalf of Denard Span and Nick Punto (while I mocked him for being "off his rocker") nailed the dilemma confronting manager Ron Gardenhire and the Twins these days in today's column-recap of yesterday's 3-2 loss to the lowly Royals.
1. The starters are young and need their arms protected for the future.
