Election Day

As they say in Chicago, "Vote Early and Vote Often."
Rumor has it you no longer have to be registered (or even a citizen).

Sweet!


Ex-Vike Sues Dr. Andrews for $180 Million

Shariff Floyd was going to have some "routine" arthroscopic surgery in his knee two years ago, and be out for about a month.

Once they started operating they decided he needed micro-fracture surgery, which according to Floyd, was done poorly.

Long story short. His NFL career is over and he's suing the Andrews and his sports clinic for $180 million.

The 27-28 year old Floyd, who was outstanding, wants to be compensated for what happened.

THIS will be an interesting case.

How long before sports medicine becomes too expensive for the doctors to perform? Maybe athletes who get hurt will simply be done. No sane surgeon will want to touch them.

The financial risk will be too great.

And the days of billion dollar contracts will be over as well. What sane owner will pay that kind of money to a player who can no longer be fixed?

Vikes!

Offense was average.

Defense was spectacular. TEN Sacks!

My Patriots beat my Packers in the late game.

Ans New Orleans handled the Rams in the best afternoon game.

And the Saints play in that one made me realize that the Vikes loss to them  last week wasn't as bad as I thought.

Bye week, and then 4 straight tough games. The season is a bit over half over and the next four should determine how good or bad they really are.

Skol Vikes! (Arms in a safety position.)

Vikes/Lions

Still not sure what to think of this season.

Nobody in the NFC North looks like they are good enough to do anything. The Vikes and the Lions are just two of those teams.

I expect nothing today. Just like most weeks.

Thursday Night Football

On paper, the game was an absolute dud. Only one win  for each team going in.

SO, how do you make it interesting?

San Fran started a rookie QB, in his first pro game. AND had the best stats by a rookie starting in his first game, ever. And the 49ers rolled 34-3.

Nobody cares about those two teams, but they at least made the game watchable.

Wolves Win!

And Derrick Rose scored a career high 50 points!

8 games into the season the Wolves are sitting at .500.

THAT is a good start.

Go Wolves!!
