I was born and raised in San Diego, California - so I'm still a big baby during the Minnesota winter. My 10 year old son, Isaac, is the most important thing in the world to me - but don't tell that to my dog or three cats. I am a sports fanatic, and admittedly, a fan of most types of gambling (good thing I never have any money, eh?) I love St. Cloud, and currently live in the great city of Sauk Rapids....Go Storm!

T’ Wolves Need To Trade Rubio’s Rights ASAP!
I might be the only one left in Minnesota that considers themselves an avid T' Wolves fan, so I have a suggestion for management. It may seem a bit harsh, but here goes. TRADE THE RIGHTS TO RICKY RUBIO - ASAP!
I'll admit, it is not fair to blame the Timberwolves horrible last few seasons on a young man who has never even set foot in Minnesota...
If Vikings Take QB – Here’s A Vote For Ryan Mallett!
We don't even know if we are going to HAVE football this fall, but the draft leaves us with eternal hope. To me, the draft in April, is always the first sign of the upcoming football season. I get fired up, no doubt. Every team has reason to be optimistic on draft day...
Baseball 101 – What We’ve Learned So Far This Season!
There is no question that the baseball season is a long one. In no other sport, are the playoff teams as absolutely deserving, as they are in baseball. If you win your division, or even make it as the wildcard playoff team, you had a great season, period...
McNabb Makes A Lot Of Sense For Vikings!
Consider me one of those that is officially "drinking the Donovan McNabb kool-aid". I'm on the bandwagon. Compared to the drama, and horrible inconsistency, that Vikes fans have recently been forced to endure at the quarterback position - the perennial winner, and ultra-professional, McNabb would be a Godsend to Minnesota...
The ‘Real’ Miami Heat Has Finally Surfaced
The Miami Heat have, apparently, been playing opossum with us this entire season. True, they had some injuries to deal with, but they had some bad, ugly losses this year - for what is supposed to be such a powerful squad.
The 'bad' losses aren't even the ones that scared Heat fans the most...
This Year’s Derby Will Be One To Remember!
This year is unlike most for horse racing enthusiasts. Every time there is a horse that appears to be on the verge of becoming the "clear-cut Derby favorite", that horse ends up getting beat.
It happened yesterday at Oaklawn Park in the Arkansas Derby...
Twins Will Begin Turnaround Tonight At Home!
Concerned at all with the Twins 2-4 start? Don't be. The Twins are still the class of the division (though just barely, thanks to Adam Dunn's arrival in Chicago), and should enjoy some "home cookin'" on their first homestand of the year, starting tonight against the A's...
No Doubt – Rodman Is A Hall Of Famer!
There will never be anyone like Dennis Rodman. One of the more memorable athletes of our time, is going into the basketball Hall Of Fame. There are a lot of folks that didn't want him in. But his contributions to the game, his consistent work ethic, his uncanny rebounding ability, and his personality, all make him an absolute "MUST" for basketball immortality...
Hard Not To Root For Butler In Tonight’s Championship Game!
The classic movie "Hoosiers" has actually come to life.
Unless you are from the state of Connecticut, or are a UCONN alum, it is very hard to root against the Butler Bulldogs in tonight's NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Game.
Everybody loves an underdog, and the Bulldogs are just that going into tonight's game...
Bracket Advice — If You Need It!
The NCAA men's basketball tournament gets into full swing tomorrow (there are actually 2 play-in games tonight), and most of us have filled out some brackets by now. Picking winners in "The Big Dance" is an inexact science. But through years of doing this for REAL MONEY, and from paying close attention to this college basketball season, I think I've got a pretty good idea of how this o
