*Whatever happened to Subway stamps?
*Remember that rule in the NFL where if the visiting team couldn't call its offensive signals due to crowd noise, a penalty was called on the home team? Remember how visiting quarterbacks would look at the ref and wait for a flag? That was a weird and dark time in our football history.
*You ever wonder why kitchen mixing machines cost so much?
*As I've grown older, I've become less tolerable of the cold weather.
*According to Jimmy From Accounting, you can find gas in Fargo for $2.82 a gallon. It's $3.05 in Grand Forks.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Natalie in Newport Beach.
*I really hope Terry Ryan knows what he's doing in regards to the Ryan Doumit trade to Atlanta for a left handed pitcher. I liked Doumit.

*Whatever happened with the Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin story? I have a feeling that when the truth comes out people will be quite surprised.
*I love when Jim Schwartz of the Detroit Lions loses. It almost removes the smug look on his face. And I still wonder if Matthew Stafford is an above average quarterback. Sometimes I feel bad for my Michigan relatives than I quickly remember I'm a Vikings fan.
*Does the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induct everyone?
*Speaking of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I often wonder how huge Nirvana would have become. I really think there was true genius at work there.
*Reggie Tales shout out to TPetter in Warroad. Still the best shortstop in Northern Minnesota.
*When the dust settles, it will be interesting to see who survives the finger pointing over the failed Christian Ponder experiment. I'd like someone to address why the experiment went on for so long.
*Out of Work Hockey Guy got an advanced screening of "Anchor Man 2." His one word review? "Disappointing." I've been worried about this for a couple of weeks now. They have been promoting the movie so much it seems strange. I will still go, most likely on Saturday. I will let you know.
*I've never seen a "Fast and Furious" movie. In my mind, Paul Walker will forever be remembered for his work in "Varsity Blues," where he plays a quarterback. And at the end of the movie he becomes the head coach.
*I'm craving Chippers.

*Ron Burgundy on The Dan Patrick Show this morning was comedic gold. I hope the movie is half as funny.
*Hunger Games 2 was absolutely fascinating.
*Blowing snow the first couple of times is always fun. Then it's not.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Carson in North Carolina.
*I'm pretty sure Mike Tomlin knew what he was doing.
*I have no choice but to be excited the Minnesota Twins signings. Ricky Nolasco is a solid starter who immediately becomes their number one pitcher. And Phil Hughes might benefit from getting into a more spacious ballpark.
*I was torn between rooting for and against the Vikings last Sunday. But since Jacksonville is on a hot streak I'm convinced the Vikes can sew up that first pick. Which they will subsequently screw up.

Random Thursday on a Friday
*The Atlanta Falcons owner looks like a villain from an old black and white movie.
*The curious tale of Vikings quarterback Josh Freeman is so puzzling I'm not sure anyone can figure it out. They bring the guy in to take a look at him, have him start a game for which he's not prepared, and then never play him again? I think that situation alone tells you how horribly the Vikings are run.
*P.s....Is there really not a better wide receiver available than Joe Webb?
*The Minnesota Twins seem quiet on the free agent front. My guess is they will wait until all the top tier players are gone and then rummage through the discount bin once again. I wonder what they are going to do when attendance drops off 50% next year.
*I'm still trying to comprehend how gas is $3.15 a gallon in Grand Forks and just 70 miles south it is less than $3.00. That really grinds my gears.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Mrs. Rain Man celebrating a birthday tomorrow!

*The New York Yankees won't allow facial hair on their team but they will allow known steroid users. Strange, but true.
*Is it safe to put the lawnmower away and to take out the snow blower?
*Sometimes I miss Duane's House of Pizza.
*Happy belated birthday to Blonde Daughter. And she's behind the wheel of a car. You've been warned.
*Is it just me, or do the Vikings always play in Seattle?
*"Billy Madison" is some of Adam Sandler's better work.
*Is there much better than "Million Dollar Listing, Los Angeles?"
*Reggie Tales shout out to Big Doug in Brainerd.
*Shepherd's Pie.

*I wish I had some lefse.
*Nice to see the Vikings win a meaningless game. I do think Adrian is nearing 100% again.
*The Packers without Aaron Rodgers are very similar to the Vikings.
*How about that Gopher football team?
*I'm starting to think that a trip to Lambeau Field for a game is a bucket list type thing for me.
*I hope Rain Man was able to catch me a deer this weekend.
*Shout out to Uncle Tommy in Swartz Creek, Michigan.
*I went to "Last Vegas." It was exactly what you would think. Junk.
*Next up is "12 Years a Slave."

*Congratulations to the Red Sox and to Red Sox Daughter. About 12 years ago she picked Boston as her favorite baseball team and you know the rest of the story.
*The Minnesota Twins didn't need David Ortiz. Now he's on the doorstep of the Hall of Fame.
*This gem from Jimmy From Accounting: JJ Hardy won a Gold Glove and hit 30 home runs this year. The Minnesota Twins, you will recall, had him for one season.
*Also, the Red Sox were 30 to 1 long shots to win the World Series this year. I'm incapable of math, but if you had put $100 on them to win it all, you would have made some nice "walking around money" as my friend Rain Man calls it.
*I love Facebook. I especially love when people talk about all the housework they are getting done. It's really interesting. I'm sure that's what the inventors had in mind.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Doc Litin in Rochester.
*I'm seriously contemplating going to "Last Vegas." Morgan Freeman and some other old guys go to Vegas. I'm setting the over/under at five laughs. Anything over that will be a success!
*Apparently the Vikings contemplated trading Jared Allen this week. I was unaware he was still on the team.
*Chris Cook has 0 (zero) career interceptions. I think former Tiger Chad Kuz once had three interceptions in one game at Mayville State.
