*The Adrian Peterson saga will come down to money. It almost always does. If the Vikings pay him the $13 million, he will be in Minnesota. No other team is going to give him that kind of money.
*Speaking of running backs, it's hard to believe Maurice Jones-Drew is retiring. When running backs' skills begin to diminish in the NFL, they diminish quickly.
*I might be late to the party, but the Mac and Cheese at Panera is a life changer. Wow.
*I dipped my toe into the water that is Twitter. @ChrisJRegimbal Once I'm more comfortable I'm going to begin live tweeting day to day life.
*How much do I like watching televised sporting events? I spent a couple hours Wednesday night taking in the Minnesota Gophers and Minnesota Twins in an exhibition baseball game.
*My snowblower is looking lonely in my garage but not lonely enough to root for a last minute storm.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Top Dog Grooming in Grand Forks. Long gone are the days of Googling "grand forks dog groomers."
*The last 18 or so NHL games should be interesting. Can the LA Kings catch either Winnipeg or Minnesota? I wouldn't bet against them.
*Speaking of betting, wouldn't it be fun to go to Vegas?

*Sad, really, watching Adrian Peterson attempting to force a trade out of Minnesota. The Vikings will never get close to his real value in a trade.
*There is something about Spring Training that makes you feel like everyone has a chance. Even the Twins. Maybe Paul Molitor is just what the doctor ordered.
*I came within one point of predicting the Super Bowl score and winning team.
*The two hottest teams in the NHL are your Minnesota Wild and my Los Angeles Kings.
*Reggie Tales shout out to The Good Doctor, who is celebrating another birthday this week.

*I wonder what happened to the "technology and stuff" guy from the World Series?
*Remember when the Detroit Lions would take Barry Sanders out of the game when they would get to the one yard line?
*If the Minnesota Twins get to 75 wins this season, would that be considered a success?
*I dislike both Super Bowl participants, but I think I dislike Seattle a little more. So by default, I'm rooting for New England. I'm also rooting for a horrendously, controversial call which underscores the awful officiating in the NFL.
*Wouldn't it be fun to watch a Super Bowl in Vegas?
*Reggie Tales shout out to Mitch in Horace.
*I watched "The Interview" the other day. It's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. How's that for a vote of confidence?

My Dad
This morning, the first of 2015, my dad will wake up in Hawaii.
Which is pretty cool because it marks the 50th state he's visited. Yep, all 50 states. He and my mom loved to travel and had conquered 48 of our United States when she passed away a couple of years ago.
But even at 83 years of age, I knew my dad would make it to Hawaii. It was just a matter of which of his six kids was going to be able to coordinate the logistics of this undertaking. Enter Bro #3 and his wife and family to pull it all together.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: my dad is pretty cool. He's not just living life, he's attacking it. Born on the Fourth of July in 1931, he's been on the run figuratively and literally since.
And so, dad, as I go outside to shovel the overnight snow from my driveway in the 14 degree weather, please enjoy your time in Hawaii. You've earned it.

*Congratulations to Ryan Leaf on getting released from prison in Montana.
*Congratulations also, to my pal Alec in Hermosa on the nice contract extension. First round is on you at Ercole's.
*We're going with a real tree this Christmas at the Home Office. Both dogs have been sniffing around it. This should get interesting.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Shawn from Stephen. He and his brother Greg used to stay at my house when it would blizzard during school. We would turn out the lights in the basement and commence a rudimentary Fight Club. A good time was had by all.
*If Torii Hunter punches Joe Mauer during Spring Training I will consider his signing a success.
*I wasn't shocked at all by the Minnesota Timberwolves losing to the previously winless Philadelphia 76'ers. I found it more surprising people paid to go and watch the game.
*Remember Cordarrelle Patterson? I don't.
*Do you ever put pepper spray on your burrito?
*I'm going to skip Horrible Bosses 2. And Dumb and Dumber To.

*I've never been a fan of cranberries.
*Does celery really deserve a place in stuffing? I think not.
*I'm old enough to remember when CNN wasn't a complete joke.
*I'm happy gas prices have dropped. I'm curious as to why it is still cheaper in Crookston, Fargo, Hillsboro, Bemidji, Minneapolis, Erskine and Fosston than it is in Grand Forks.
*Are you ever concerned that Family Feud might run out of surveys? And who takes these surveys? "100 people were surveyed and the top six answers are on the board...Name a state with a lot of sunshine."
*Reggie Tales shout out to Claire in North Carolina.
*"Birdman" is a very good movie. And very different. And Michael Keaton is sensational. He might be one of our most underrated actors ever.
*Two words: Pecan pie. That is all.

*Wendy's is underrated.
*Bryan Cranston as Dr. Tim Whatley on Seinfeld is one of the great characters in television history.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Blonde Daughter, celebrating her 16th Birthday today!
*I highly recommend "Fury." And to a lesser degree, "The Equalizer" with Denzel Washington isn't the worst movie I've ever seen.
*So Paul Molitor is the new manager of the Minnesota Twins. That's nice. Now, if they don't spend any money this season upgrading their pitching staff and suffer another 90 loss season, what difference does it make?
*I haven't taken my snowblower out of storage yet. Today might be the day. Or not.
*It might be time to put Summer Sidekick on the side of a milk carton. I haven't seen that clown since the Sacred Heart Golf Tournament where he led us to a 17th place finish.
*It seems strange to me that the Minnesota Vikings are satisfied with a terrible punter.
