Berrian Is Healthy
From the Twitter account of Access Vikings’ Judd Zulgad comes a tidbit of good news. Bernard Berrian (I refuse to call him “B-Twice” VH1!) says that both of his hamstrings, which were a chronic problem last season, are fine and he is ready to go. In 2008, Berrian notched 48 catches for 964 yards and seven [...]
Dome Wins The North In Food Safety Inspections
Here is a somewhat off topic (but yet disgustingly interesting) story from Kevin Seifert over at the NFC North blog on ESPN: Before you fork over $5 for a hot dog or $7 for beer at your next NFC North game, you might want to check out this “Outside the Lines” report on food service [...]

There was no fall guy, however. And instead, Bieniemy has gotten a promotion and a raise prompted by an offer from USC [...]

Weekend Discussion
I am working on developing a weekly “calendar” of recurring features on this site with hopes of adding a little structure to what is otherwise an unorganized and chaotic series of ramblings out of this hack blogger. So, the “Weekend Discussion” it is. This is where I will pose a question or two that are [...]

Favre Says He Learned A Lesson
We discussed a few days back the humorous rant that Bus Cook went on about Favre being a “drama queen” in front of a Men’s Journal reporter. Favre said that Cook was just “joking around” and he has now, at age 40, learned an important lesson. “I guess the lesson to be learned in all [...]
