Re: Favre/Vikings

I like (and believe) Pat Kessler’s conspiracy theory that the Vikes never wanted or expected to get Favre - the so-called tampering was simply meant to jumpstart a mess that would destabilize Packer Nation:

Spielman: Mr. Wilf - we’ve just received word from agents Bevell and Childress that initial contact has been made. Operation BlueCheese is a go. I repeat… Operation BlueCheese is a go.

Wilf: But Rick… at what cost?

Spielman: Sir, I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed. We’re estimating two 3’s and a 5th rounder… one 2nd and two 4th tops. Depending on the breaks. Oh, and a big fine…

Wilf: Rick - I can’t live with the loss of those picks on my conscience. And my image is already…

Spielman: Sir, you need to worry less about your image and more about the greater good of Viking Nation.

Wilf: Fine. Contact proceed with Operation BlueCheese. And may God help us all.

I vote for beer reviews from Dave Minnesota. I’m down to one Hopslam, supplemented with a couple of Avery IPAs, and wish for a recommendation for my next trip to the Wine Thief.

“Wait, referring to yourself in the 3rd person isn’t cool anymore? I keep missing these memos…”

Hootie - Now that Will Leech isn’t running Deadspin any longer, the Royal “We” is no longer “En Vogue”.

Unless I missed some memo.

Wait, referring to yourself in the 3rd person isn’t cool anymore? I keep missing these memos…

I don’t think the bachelor party will be boring, just not too crazy. I’ll be sticking to beer, (or so I say now) as the last time I drank exclusively hard liquor resulted in naked paddle-boating. Not a pretty sight.

Dave- Love THH. Up till now I’ve been blatantly ripping off Rand and referring to her as The Future Mrs. Hootie (TFMH), so it’s nice to have an alternative.

AZ Gopher Girl:

The Hootie’s just writing that because THH (The Hootie’s Hottie) is an avid RandBall reader, and he needs to stick to the story…

Actually, what he’s described sounds quite a bit like I would imagine my bachelor party to be…

I think Miles Tarver’s Mustache has been about three different people today. In related news, so has Herschel Walker…

Sheesh, you fail to submit 75 words for a couple of months and you get shunned.

I was going to vote for The Hootie so we could get a bachelor party report. And then:

1) He referred to himself in the third person.

2) He made his bachelor party sound boring.

My vote is for Miles Tarver’s Mustache.

Town Hall has the outdoor patio which is perfect for pre- or post-game hanging out. While there, try the Cara Java (new release this week).

No, I don’t work there, but I am a Pint Club member.

Thanks for the suggestions, Dave. Maybe it’s time to give Town Hall another chance.

I want to hit Gleuk’s, but I’m not sure beyond that. The Hootie is not much of a dance club kinda guy, and mostly just wants to hang out and have some beer with his friends.
