The Minnesota Vikings are going to build themselves a new stadium. This was announced right around the same time that ownership was going on about how safe their head coach’s job is, right now. My guess is: Out with the old, in with the new!
Mike Tice‘s job is safe, says Vikings owner Zygi Wilf. The Vikings had just lost their second game, getting crushed by the Cincinnati Bengals 31-7. “We’re going to turn it around,” Wilf said. “We spoke in detail with the coach and coaching staff and we know what we have to do. We have to get…
Leavander Johnson faced off against Jesus Chavez last weekend, where he sustained a subdural hematoma. Johnson died Thursday at 4:23 pm. You hate to see anybody in any sport die, especially due to their athletic contest. Whether it be a football player or a Nascar driver (no matter how you define sports), it just is…
Gym etiquette is important for beginners to learn, preferably before offending fellow gym-goers. Five tips from ACE (the American Council on Exercise) provide a good starting point. Don’t be rude. Maintain good hygiene. Restack your weights. Stay back when starting a group exercise class. Hire a personal trainer. Read the original article for more details….
The Boston Red Sox have called up rookie Craig Hansen from the Portland Sea Dogs yesterday, and gave him his first start last night. Hansen did pretty well, striking out 2 of the three batters that he faced and retired. The kid is not doing too shabby, with a four million dollar, four year contract,…
The The Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund was set up by the two former presidents to help raise money for relief after the Hurricane disaster down in the gulf states. Last night they held a telethon during the football games with former and current NFL stars manning the phones. I could not find any press releases that…
The second game last night was also a joke. The Washington Redskins played their annual rivalry game against the Dallas Cowboys, with the game starting halfway through the Saints “home” game. This game was all Dallas until they choked at the very end.
The (first) game last night was a joke. The New Orleans Saints played their home opener against the New York Giants, except that they played in New York. So even though the Giants had away jerseys, and the Saints had home jerseys, and still had to deal with the visitors locker room, and still had…
The New England Patriots played the Carolina Panthers yesterday and lost 27-17. The Patriots looked and performed awful. They had no running game, and Tom Brady made an uncharacteristic amount of mistakes. The Panthers’ lines both looked and performed much better than New England’s. The Panthers did a better job of kicking the ball, and…
Today was the Portland Trails 10k. Two years ago, I placed fourth. Last year I lost by 2 minutes and placed second. This year I lost by a minute and a half and ran a minute slower than last year and placed 4th. The course is not overly inspiring; it runs along the Eastern Prom…
