Anyone who watches any amount of television will probably have the pleasure of watching a fitness commercial or infomercial promising a new body if you only buy their product or exercise program. Those 6 packs abs are just around the corner and you will be the envy of the beach this summer according to their […]
So how many of you out there are ready for a mulligan on your NCCA picks? If you are, you are in the risk taking group. Nothing that has happened so far has really shocked me at all. The Big East has 5 teams in the sweet 16 which should come as no surprise to […]
You could say last week was certainly the worst week of our new president’s term. He had several blunders ranging from the non-disclosure about his party’s involvement in the AIG bonus mess, his budget, which was revealed will create a much higher deficit than originally thought and of course, the silly idea that veterans should […]
Every March, there are a number of things which are guaranteed to happen. We get more daylight, there is a crippling snowstorm somewhere in the United States, usually here in the upper Midwest, and of course, the talk about bubble teams and which teams deserve to get into the men’s NCCA basketball tournament.

Last Friday, it was announced that the Minnesota Vikings had acquired Sage Rosenfels from the Houston Texans for a 4th round draft pick. When I heard about the big pick up, visions of seeing the Vikings in the 2010 Super Bowl were dancing in my head. Well actually not! I mean, who is Sage Rosenfels? […]
Anyone who has lived in a cold weather state such as yours truly, probably has a number of cold weather stories to tell. I won’t bore people with my walking to school stories but I have a particular cold weather story that really stands out. My native hometown in northern Minnesota used to have an […]
