The Vikings continue to disappoint

What started as a promising first half start has most people turning the channel and finding other past times at Sunday noon. Even though Miami tried everything in their power to self destruct with Harrington the Vikes failed to take advantage of any of the opportunities presented to them.

Not too many games ago, before they entered the cream puff portion of their schedule, it was said that Brad Johnson may not be lighting the offense on fire but he is not hurting them. Well clearly that has changed with key turn overs in the end zone killing 2 weeks of late 4th quarter drives. It is not all Johnson's fault. Williamson is much like the Stone Hands character in Necessary Roughness. He shows just enough brilliance at moments to tease us with what is possible with a great catch and effort, then this first round pick shows us what he is really about: long on speed with no ability to catch a football. Is it time for a look at Jackson? If the season becomes an even bigger horror show, then let's give the younger guys a chance. When the Twins did it this summer, they stepped up to win the Central. Look for Tavarius in 2 weeks.

Gardy runner up as manager of the year

After several magazines in April / May were calling Gardy the worst manager in baseball, this voting shows how fast things can change. I am always amazed how quickly perceptions change with a few wins since his coaching style remained relatively consistent. He was chosen as manager of the year as a runner of to Jim Leyland.
