I can justify it for 3 reasons: he knows far more about football than I ever will, he watches miles of tape every week (there is a great piece on Grantland from earlier this season that will make you respect the guy), and he’s not Gruden/Tirico.
I’ll have to respectfully disagree and give Swanson an A+, as our philosophies on breakfast food and nothing getting done at work are extremely compatible.
Cuddyer who won a batting title playing in Colorado and then saw his average drop over 70 points this year (and carries a career AVG over 50 points lower than his batting title year AVG) while playing a horrible RF? Yeah I’m cool calling him a present day Cuddyer.

Hey, I love Joe Mauer. So much so that my kid got his first pre-school picture taken in a Mauer t-shirt jersey. But we are talking the present Joe Mauer.

What kind of question is that…..of course I got a sticker.
I’m a Jim Adler “The Texas Hammer” man myself, but this is greatness.

That’s probably the greatest compliment a man can pay another.

That mom is the real MVP of this post.
They gave us 161 more competitive games than I thought they would. Go Twins.
We should never not be talking about the legend that was Carlos Zambrano.
I often wonder what it feels like to have a good hair day.
I unintentionally left out the Seahawks, but let me just say, their sub .500 record feels good

Don’t let him fool you, he’s actually in jail.
If I had to choose between going to the DMV or hiking my ass to Mordor, give me Mordor every day of the week.
