Are we also signing Samuel L. Jackson? I approve. As far as Happ's signing, also thumbs up, even though i would give that to most any signing. Happ is a player, and i look forward to seeing how he can help. Mostly i'm just too lazy to form well considered expectations. And as for Mr. Jackson, my guilty pleasure is his role as the Octopus in The Spirit. "Toilet's are always funny!"

And that woulda been us. Oh well. Maybe if Green Bay wins it all, then all we need to do is beat them, and we got it made...

I think it is fair to be patient. We don't spoil the end of the Mandalorian season for them. They don't spoil the end of the Twins' season for us. Besides, if we sign Baby Yoda to a nice long contract, i imagine pitch framing might finally get the respect it deserves...

Apparently Swarzak also threw at the Kluber work out. Maybe he impressed?

Am i permitted to be a creature of habit and follow the Twins on game threads? That's good enough for me.

The real question is who do we drop from our roster to make room for 40 pens? The stapler?

Is it okay to root for the Bears in the play-offs, thinking if only we had beaten them, that coulda been us? So very far from the 0-16 ideal...

I resolve to earn my trope for participation!

I resolve to procrastinate smarter, not harder... or is that softer? I'll get to the other resolutions eventually... before i need to, at least.

I would watch the Tom Kelly special. Nothing wrong with Die Hard neither.

I drink Surge when i can get it, and if were a Coca-Cola distributor, i might be offended if someone implied it gave you wind. But if i am grasping at straws, it is only to drink more Surge to drown my sorrows at being offended. Please forgive my wind.

Holy smokes! Congrats to both of 'em!

I bet there are teams as bad us at the 2 minute offense. How are is the Jets' 2 minute drill? But it doesn't get exposed quite the way ours is to such criticism...

Oh well. That's that, then, eh?

Just as long as he doesn't miss the game tie-er. Someone else can always win the game for the Vikes.

Another PAT. Not out of this game yet...

And a field goal!

Made 1 kick! A PAT no less. (and there was much rejoicing.

How many kicks are we going to miss this game? My pop always thought the excellence of the kicking game took away all the meaningful/interesting strategic 4th down decisions, as does the DH in baseball. So i am at least intrigued to see how our modern team handles the adversity.

Oh... With a headline like way too early projection, i was hoping for something like realignment in 2050 following homoginization of rules where the Central loses Detroit and Cleveland, but gains St. Loius and Denver, and becomes the plains division, making our division great again. But i got no problem enthusiastically looking forward to next season. Am glad to keep the target on our backs as well as our field.

If we win out, and Arizona loses a game, do we still have the tie breaker?

Wichita Attitude? I wanted to offer a palindromic mascot name, but it just doesn't quite work. This is as close as i could come. (Well, unless a sneaze is acceptible... which would pair well with homer hankies... that could double as a backup face mask.) And if you want to appeal to thumpers of a bible, you can say that in olden days, AAA was just A, so AA was actually B. Not sure this adequate, but i will settle for creative for now, and keep thinking...

Meh.Missed kicks are a part of the game. Just kinda wished they weren't quite so big a part of ours... Do we have someone who will do a better job? With all the misses, we were closer than the score said. Am i still allowed to be optimistic? We still got an outside shot at the playoffs.

Don't you have to like, ford a river?

US 52 goes to Rochester, not I 35... And yeah, i am envious of modern times for being able to google things. Hearing a prospect was playing in Rochester when i was growing up there left me confused as to why i couldn't go to a game and watch them. Google woulda straightened me out right quick.
