Nice takes throw the word sample size away find another phrase then it doesn't sound like you've ripped out some other show that's on the weather radio stations in town. your take on the twins well it's pretty easy when you see a team that loses 103 games there's not really much to say do you want to find bright spots there were plenty I think you're wrong about the bullpen you got two guys one in Rogers the other and Jt Chargious are promising with G agreed coming of the pipeline all power picture arms Still need to learn how to pitch in the big leagues Buxton and snore still promising it's way too early to tell on that As far as your Vikings granite I'd say they have the best ravens again way too early for only four weeks into the season you really don't know what the Hells going to happen until about nine that's when you see who might stay healthy or not the gams way to physical to tell. You can hat on the patriots all you want it usually gets you knowhere cause they usually play late into January maybe February.

Hey Ron - Thanks for the comments and for listening! I love your rambly response, it reminds me of me ;)

As far as "ripping off" other shows, with my music as with my writing, I'll always unapologetically nod to the legends. There is nothing new under the sun, after all.

The Twins bullpen has a couple arms, but a couple arms a bullpen does not make. It still needs work and is still at the bottom portion in the league.

My ripping the Patriots has nothing to do with how successful they are. Hitler was successful for a long period of time, too. How successful someone is doesn't make them impervious to criticism about how they run things.

Again, thanks for your thoughtful response and for listening. I always love going back and forth with you about sports. You should be on the podcast sometime, I'd love your input...
