… jared allen set the nfl sack record this year (at least in my book) … granted, officially, michael strahan still holds the record by half a sack, but his last sack was ‘given’ to him by brett favre. jared allen earned every one of his sacks … pure awesomeness … up until today, #44 chuck foreman was my favorite viking of all time … #93 john randall was a close second … now, jared allen is officially my favorite viking of all time … tied with chuck foreman … :O)
… you don’t have to like the guy or even the broncos, but i admire anyone who believes in something and goes out and gets it … with dignity, humbleness, gratitude, and character … i don’t know tim tebow, personally … maybe i don’t know who the true tim tebow is, but from what i can tell, i don’t really think he’s one who asks for a lot of attention (like terrell owens or deion sanders) … he simply gets out on the football field and does what he can for his team. i admire that … i think that defines awesomeness.
… and he’s created quite the rage … even a new word in the dictionary (tebowing) … but it doesn’t really matter if you agree with his religious beliefs or not, this is a man born on this planet with talents and opportunities … and he’s making the most of them … it wouldn’t surprise me if this man gives a vast amount of his income to charities that he thinks are important and make the world a better place … how many of us can say that?
… i grew up in minnesota … didn’t play much hockey then … have grown to love the sport lately, though … wish i could play it more … back then, i was a north stars fan … 1991 was pretty exciting when mike modano took the cinderella team to the stanley cup playoffs.
… but then the north stars moved to dallas … man, that sucked … and of course, the ‘stars’ won a cup … good for modano, though … one of the greatest u.s.-grown hockey players ever.
… anyway, after moving to colorado, i became an avs fan as soon as they moved to colorado (sorry quebec … but you already had the canadiens) … cool they won the cup that year and another one in 2001 … what a team … it’ll probably be a long time till they have a team like that again … cool to still see hedjuk on the team today … they have some promising players … love the logo and jerseys.
