The professor gives too much credit to Kevin McHale and his ability to find talent in a draft. The fact that McHale likes Love should be reason enough to question the draft pick as McHale has never drafted an All-Star (except Garnett a HS project that happened to work out 13 yrs ago and some All-Stars he traded away on draft day).

The problem with drafting Love is that you don't get any upside. What you get is a predictable 6' 10" guy who won't change defenses. NBA history has shown...

The legacy argument is overrated. If Favre wants to keep playing, then let the man keep playing. Who cares if it isn't with the Packers. Jerry Rice spent time with the Raiders and the Seahawks - I still think of him as a 49er. His best years were with the 9ers and that's how I'll always remember him.

Emmit Smith did some time with the Cardinals, Montana with the Chiefs, Jordan with the Wizards. Big deal I still remember them as a Cowboy winning Super Bowls, a 49er hooking up with Clark and the greatest player in history winning 6 championships with...

The team with the leagues 25th worst payroll continues to roll in June. The Twins have continued this seasons trend of AL teams beating up on NL teams. So far in interleague play the AL has dominated wining 135 games to 88 losses. The Twins have had fun beating up Milwaukee, Washington, Arizona and San Diego.

It's official, we now have the Timberwolves Trilogy. Go out and buy the box set and please, please, please buy tickets to watch our team lose 50 games next season.

With the Twins struggling to win 3 of their last 10 I thought I'd dive into some AL stats.

As a team the Twins rank 3rd in batting avg and 4th in runs in the AL. But they rank 12th in ERA and 14th in both opponent batting avg and OPS. There is no doubt the Twins posses the greatest collection of singles hitters in baseball. But it may be time to forget hitting and start building pitching. Pitching wins games, pitching wins championships.

The Texas Rangers are an offensive...

Know your history, know your celebrations.

Let's stop all of these comparisons. It is not doing anyone any good and those who dare to make the leap (yes I said leap) to put Kobe at Jordan's level is nothing short of asinine.

I'm not trying to make the case that Kobe isn't a great player. He is a great and very dominent player in the NBA. He is not however Jordan.

Check out some of the career stats for both Kobe and Jordan...

Sammy C. delivers an out-of-this-world performance as the Celtics beat the Lakers in Game 1. For a photo album of Sammy's alien looks visit thegoldseat.

This guy is a living legend, look out NFL when you visit London.

I don't need your stinking towel, towel boy.

The key to Sir Charles' Success. His big butt.

Judging by the dad's haircut, this might actually be real... welcome to Arkansas.

When Spokane and Tri-City meet in the playoffs...huge hits ensue. Where are his teammates to back this guy up? The bench needs to clear.

Vikings 4th Round Draft Pick John David Booty, pulls an Elway and tries to snap the ball under the left guard.

I didn't really break it down like I did last year. Well, I guess that's because second round projections aren't that interesting. Here are my two scenarios: 1) Vikings trade down to the late second or early third round to get an additional 4th round pick. They then use their first two picks on the offensive line (tackle, center, guard or tight end) or wide receiver. 2) Vikings keep the 47th overall pick and take Fred Davis from USC. Shane Co. was a huge bust last year and we really need a TE that can run the seam route to keep the opposing safeties honest covering Berrian and Rice.

Ok, now that the draft speculation is out of the way - the Gophers got new uniforms! Believe it or not, Gopher Football is about to be...
