Here’s the player to watch this year on the Minnesota Twins: at 21 and acnefree, center field prospect Ben Revere is expected to make his major league debut, perhaps as soon as this season. He’s quick with a smile, has great energy and enthusiasm and could, if he performs well, become one of the signature [...]
Whether Brett Favre retires or not, the Minnesota Vikings should pursue a trade for Eagles restricted free agent QB Donovan McNabb. Why? Well, because you can never have too much talent at the position when your top guy is 40 and could either retire or lose it at any given moment. McNabb may not be [...]
Let’s just hope it’s not another retirement announcement. Word is that Jay Leno, back in control of the Tonight Show thanks to incompetent NBC dimwits, has landed Vikings QB Brett Favre as his guest for a March 4 show, the first week of Leno’s second reign. Odds are, Favre won’t be there to promote www.successfulhomebusiness.org. [...]
It was only one point, but it fell to the wrong team as the Minnesota Gophers on Wednesday lost to number three-ranked Purdue, 58-59. This was despite sophomore center Ralph Sampson III’s college career-best 21 points and seven board performance on the night. The loss all but assures that the Gophers, at best, will sneak [...]
The Minnesota Timberwolves made a minor move before the trading deadline, sending away a guy they barely used to the Knick for a guy New York barely used: seven-foot center Darko Milicic. He’s been ill-used by the league; so much so that he’s barely in game shape and needs to learn how to build muscle [...]
The Minnesota Twins are getting serious about winning. Now that they are moving into a new stadium this season, the team has gone on something of a shopping spree for talent. Already they have added DH Jim Thome, starting pitcher Carl Pavano, and completed a trade for shortstop JJ Hardy. Today, they added Gold Glove [...]
One of the most highly-sought recruits this year, Cretin-Derham Hall offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson today chose USC as his college of choice on National Signing Day. His choice came despite the recent departure of Pete Carroll, who moved to Seattle to run the Seahawks recently, and has been replaced by Lane Kiffen, formerly of the [...]
Following their 22-point loss to Ohio State, Tubby Smith’s Gophers this year seem destined to finish no better than 18-12 overall, including a 9-9 mark in the Big 10. That would make this year’s Gophers the first Tubby Smith-coached team not to reach 20 wins in 17 years. Of course, with the team rocked by [...]
It’s nothing to get too excited about just yet, but the Timberwolves won back-to-back games this weekend, defeating the LA Clippers and the New York Knicks, by margins of 14 and 21 points respectively. The wins were sparked by some lineup shuffling by coach Kurt Rambis, who sent Kevin Love and Damien Wilkins to the [...]
