My 8 year old son always plays NHL 13 as the hometown Minnesota Wild. I am forced to play as my second favorite NHL franchise, the Boston Bruins. What can I say? I Love that Dirty Water… Boston Today You Are My Town. We create our own characters on the PS 3, and we laugh [...]
Win Twins song exposed as beer commercial ditty for Hamms Beer. I found this old Hamm’s beer commercial that was used for Minnesota Vikings broadcasts during the1962 season. I was mildy surprised to learn that it is exactly the same song that the Minnesota Twins use as their team introduction music at Target Field. In [...]
Big Brothers of the World unite! The Ravens and big brother John must stop an ugly statistical trend by destroying the 49ers, their perfect 5-0 record in Super Bowls, and his little brother Jim. That’s right, I am cheering for the Ravens in this weekend’s Super Bowl for the sake of in restoring order in [...]
Even-though the Dolphins were defending World Champs, and were playing in their third straight Super Bowl, I honestly felt like we were gonna dominate them. How wrong I was.
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. How else can you explain this fluke Super Bowl that was won when Pittsburgh recovered a “mistake” second-half kick off?

On this day in MN sports history, the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory in 1969 ruined the Minnesota Vikings first NFL Championship.
Disaster struck and the opportunity was squandered when Brent McClanahan fumbled the ball away to the Raiders. The turnover was the worse thing that could have ever happened to the Vikings. In this sports daddy opinion it was the purple’s worst nightmare.
I am now officially like the Huey Lewis song Hip to be square, working out most everyday and watching what I eat. For months I drove my daugher past the Lakeville, MN LifeTime Fitness on our way to skating lessons, gymnastic practices or trips to the library. A stay-at-home dad for over a year now, [...]

I love my friends, and this year’s social media posts were all over the map on election. Crud my friends write: My Favorite Social Media comments about the elections 2012. So, now that that’s all over, we can get back to rebuilding the East Coast, right? Reading comments about separation of church and state. I went to a [...]
I have come to the conclusion that picking a democrat or republican to lead our country is like picking between McDonalds and Burger King to be your daily nutrition. Seriously, both options suck. Time to diversify and look for healthy alternatives. This requires extra work and deeper thoughts, something that most people don’t want to [...]
“I’m just very fortunate to go back where it all started at. We had some great times in Minnesota. I’m looking forward to just hearing the Metrodome rock. Now I’m on with the away team and I look forward to a good game.” – Randy Moss, September 2012 as a San Francisco 49er about to [...]
