Sports, sports, and more sports

wow! I can't believe how close the top players were to each other.

Congratulations to the WINNERS AND to the runner ups!

Good job!

I think just weekly participation made for a lot of the points - so many people don't stick it through the end of the season. One missed week does seem hard to recover - but not impossible - I missed a week last year and was still fairly close to the top at the end.

I didn't realize we had to keep picking in to the playoffs otherwise I woulda been higher but not nearly close enough.

that was a change that went in last year, j.

ooooh okay thx

Troy Aikman predicts NFL will lose popularity

I can't agree more. The NFL has pandered too much to TV networks trying to create single-game TV 'EVENTS' and hosting games all over the calendar. They need to stop doing these goofy off-night games on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, period.

W2G Saints. Nice black eye boys.

WE DID IT! The stadium bill has passed in both the House of Representatives and Senate and, once signed by the Governor, will make the construction of a new publicly-owned stadium for the State of Minnesota and the Vikings a reality!

Get out and celebrate because YOU DID IT! Your calls, emails, tweets and rallies helped push us over the top. We could not have done it without you! Thanks to you, thousands of jobs will be supported, the Vikings will stay in Minnesota where they belong and the tradition will be passed on to many future generations.

Please take a minute to THANK the legislators in the House and Senate who gave a final vote in favor of the bill and call the bill authors, Senator Julie Rosen and Representative Morrie Lanning.

Again, we could not have come this far without such incredible, passionate, active fans like you! THANK YOU for your ongoing support and commitment. We will continue to keep you updated on the stadium plans as things move forward.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Minnesota Momentum

Fun stuff at the Capital today! Look close, you can see us in the senate gallery

So.. not to be a debbie downer, but what areas do I need to stay away from now that will have a higher sales tax?

That shot sure has the look of a 'setup' for the media.

Are you getting any royalties?

Funny how we were told to shut up real fast by Madame President. And we did. Yikes :coolfrown:

There's a reason why you see ball boys standing around the bullpen...

It's being financed by electronic pull tabs in bars.

And the city of Minneapolis as of the 25th

And it's a done deal! :cool: :cool:

Assuming no one shows up with a sword and starts slicing and dicing people.... sad that I need to be cautious about such things...

Bwah!!! :sillygrin:
