Just finished watching the Lakers-Wolves game and on more than one occasion I thought I saw fans drinking beer out of bottles. Was I right?  Please tell me no.

I have no idea if beer is served in bottles at Wolves home games, but a couple questions occur to me when you plea for that not to be true:

* You prefer they spill instead of drink?

* You fear the chance that someone may throw a bottle, but wish to hide the coastal envy of Midwestern manners that show adults can refrain from acting like children?

* You dislike idea of tasting some amber nectar without the polluting tang of plastic cups ruining the experience?

* You are disappointed in the lack of red cups clearly showing that no Johnnies were in attendance?

Oz, very funny stuff but alcohol can have the same effect N,S,E,W.  Just dont think it is a great idea.  Maybe they are trying to help the Wolves get the benefit of the close calls from the refs.

Seriously, it only takes one drunk fool......

NOOOOOOOOoooooooooo........

I take a few minutes during lunch to hit the Strib and find out what is up with the Vikings and the QB situation.  Lucky I only had a sandwich, as I feel like bringing it all back up after reading this.

Childress indicated Friday that he plans to have Tarvaris Jackson vie for the starting job in training camp and that Gus Frerotte could provide the competition -- if the veteran elects to return for the final season of his contract...

Asked if there was a scenario under which he could see the Vikings acquiring an unquestioned starter, Childress paused for a few seconds and then said: "Yeah. But right now I would be honest with you and tell you I wouldn't know who that person would be."

Ferotte has already declared that he won't return to the Vikings to be Jackson's competition next year.  Start him or he walks.  If Ferotte walks the job automatically goes to Jackson.  Who's gonna take it?  JD "can't tie my own" Booty?  Don't think so.

Next year is going to be another dog of a season.  I figure Ziggy is doing a Major League and intentionally tanking the team so he can move them without complaint.  Childress will never get another pro-league coaching job after this disaster, so I would have a look at his contract and see what sort of magical bonus there is for losing his job due to team transfer.  Vikings in LA.  Stupid.

Snoop, remember the movie The Graduate?

Oz, I wasnt suggesting the above at all, but in todays crazy world why give a drunk a chance?  ......and no one should be more aware of that than the king of bizarre, unbelievable news.

[snoop dawg]

Since this is Johnnie Central, I figure I might as well post this year, too.

SJU is 7-2 since Cole Isetts rejoined the starting lineup. Could Wonka actually cheer for the hated Johnnies because of a local connection? Don't count on it...but I hope he plays well.

For those in the area — fins? Dusty? — this hoops rivalry has a recent trend of players getting thrown out. Plus, Jim Smith could win his 700th career game against my squad. It might be worth the trip, even if you aren't a hoophead.

Fins and sum had the bandwagon going a couple of years ago but I think Fins hocked it.

Bad news for the hockey guys.  They had the MIAC playoff bid in their pocket but lost to St. Mary's on home ice to end their season. Arrrggghhh.

Great Saturday at the EelPout Festival in Walker. As you might expect, the highlight was the performance by the Bikini Ice Fishing Team. Comparable to having the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit  models dancing. Little different seeing the dancers holding ice augers while they were performing.

Maybe we should invite the Bikini Ice Fishing Team up for a Stiftungsfestivities this fall. Homecoming game when we host Bethel?

Those girls don't yet know the meaning of an icy chill until they have danced in front of a crowd of Bethel Alumni.
