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!

5 NFL Teams That Did Not Make The Playoffs In ’11 – But Will In 2012!
ESPN has been going nuts this off season with their predicting and prognosticating for the upcoming 2012 season.
Some of the predictions and analysis are so predictable that it's hard for me to even believe these guys are getting paid...
Bye Bye Michael Beasley!
What was your favorite "Michael Beasley" moment?
Because there won't be anymore of them in a Minnesota uniform.
Beasley is a guy that I really tried to root for as a Timberwolves player (more than once, actually), but his inconsistency got to be a little too much for me to bare at times, I will admit...
Nicolas Batum Would Be Great For T’Wolves!
Free agent swingman Nicolas Batum has said that next season he will either rejoin the Portland Trail Blazers, or come to Minnesota and join the Timberwolves.
T'Wolves fans should collectively pray for the latter.
Batum would immediately give the T'Wolves two things that they very desperately need - a great 3 point shooter, and a great defender...
Twins Pitching Staff Is Historically Bad!
We knew they were going to be bad, but we had no idea it would be like this.
The Minnesota Twins have the worst pitching staff in all of baseball. Sadly, that's not just my opinion, as the pitching statistics thus far in 2012 are proving that to be fact...
Who Should Be The Twins All-Star?
It's a fair question.
Until very recently, my answer, and really the only deserving candidate, was Josh Willingham.
His batting average has certainly come back to earth, as now he is hitting a very average .277 - but he is the team's co-leader in home runs with 15, and he leads the team in RBI's with 49...
T’Wolves Will Love Chase Budinger Deal!
It may not seem like a big deal to most of the NBA.
In fact, most of the league views this as a move mostly for the Rockets - who are apparently trying to make cap room for a serious run at Dwight Howard. The Timberwolves, as usual, are basically an afterthought...
5 Early Fantasy Football Thoughts!
Let's face it, it's NEVER too early to start thinking about fantasy football. Draft day is always one of my favorite days of the entire year, and we all love our team right after our draft, right?
Last year was not a particularly good one for me, in any of my three leagues...
Roger Clemens Is In No Way “Innocent”!
Roger Clemens was once thought of as one of the good guys in sports. And now that the jury has come back with a "not guilty" verdict in his case regarding lying about his alleged steroid use, the Hall Of Fame surely awaits.
And it should, the career accomplishments are unbelievable...
Miami Takes Control With Big Home Win!
I believe I called this one.
Most people in the basketball world, or with any knowledge of the game - picked the Oklahoma City Thunder to win this series. Kevin Durant has emerged as the most dangerous offensive player in the game, for sure...
Cathedral Goes For Back-to-Back Championships!
This afternoon on The Fan - the St. Cloud Cathedral baseball team will go for back-to-back state championships - as they take on the Fire, from Holy Family Catholic.
The Crusaders have come up clutch in the post season. They have gotten great pitching when they have needed it, and have come up with some very timely hits...
