*There are 5,500 tickets remaining for the Packers playoff game with San Francisco. I find that astonishing.
*A seven year deal for Jay Cutler with the Bears. Wow. He won't see the end of that contract.
*Speaking of the Bears, ex-coach Lovie Smith is now the new Tampa Bay coach. Let's face it, there just isn't any good available coaches out there.
*Which means the Vikings are in trouble. It was obvious they had to make a change but now what? I really don't care for any of the names I've heard associated with this opening.
*The Winter Classic yesterday in Ann Arbor was a classic. Great game in front of 106,000 people at Michigan Stadium.
*I've seen a handful of movies in the last couple of weeks:
*Anchorman 2: It was slightly funnier than I thought it would be. It might have been a little too long with the obligatory fight scene at the end dragging on. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5.
*Saving Mr. Banks: Great movie. Tom Hanks is magnificent in the role of Walt Disney. Lots of great actors filling in some smaller spots in this film. A very good behind the scenes look at the story behind the making of Mary Poppins. 4 out of 5.
*American Hustle: A very unique and interesting movie. I liked it a lot. This is not your normal movie. If you're waiting for explosions and car crashes, this film is not for you. If you like tons of dialogue and witty 70s humor you're in luck. Can't wait to see it again. 4 out of 5.
*Bonus movie: Finally got around to seeing This is the End. Great movie. Very funny. Movie stars starring as themselves as they face the Apocolypse. James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride among others. A below the radar movie that didn't create a lot of buzz at the box office. Non stop laughs. 4 out of 5.
*-30 this morning in Grand Forks. It really doesn't make sense.
*I do want to see Wolf of Wall Street but I'm not sure when I have three hours to dedicate to it.
* Reggie Tales shout out to Thomas in Rochester.
*Doug, if I need to mail something to you, do I just send it to Zorbaz in Brainerd?
Reggie, as for a new Viking coach, Mark Kroulik is available and last time I checked he has more wins in the Metrodome than each of the last 3 Viking coaches. I would also doubt that a Kroulik coached team would get a too many men in the huddle penalty, after a time out in the NFC Championship Game! I have yet to see any team in my son's football league get flagged for that - he is 10.
