Very sad. (Link) Minnesota Vikings receiver Koren Robinson was in jail Wednesday on suspicion of drunken driving, a newspaper reported. Sgt. Loren Jansen of the St. Peter Police Department told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that Robinson was arrested around 10:46 p.m. Tuesday for “driving while impaired.” At least Koren isn’t alone on the police […]

Kornheiser’s MNF Debut
Watched some of last night’s Vikings-Raiders game solely for Tony Kornheiser’s debut. I enjoyed it. Tony is a fan. He thinks like a fan. He speaks like a fan. He is going to do just fine in his new role on MNF. This link will take you to a summary of “(Almost) Everyone Loves Tony”

Amato Still Needs a Title (?)
