The Dog Named Lady

My cousins are in town right now and for my reading I read a book called the Dog Named Lady. I read this picture book to them. It was really dumb but they enjoyed it. It was about this little white curly haired dog named Lady. In the book Lady goes on an adventure and meets lots of other dogs. It just so happens that dogs can talk in this book. I miss the days where stuff like this was actually interesting. Being a little kid is so easy, I really miss it. 

Yay Vikings!

Finally a big win out of the Vikes. Tarvaris Jackson got another shot at starting quarterback, and what a show he put on. In the article I read called "T-Jack's big day leads Vikings." It talks about the win the Vikings had against Arizona. I also watched parts of this game. Playing in place of injured Gus Frerotte, Jackson threw 4 touchdowns and the Vikings beat NFC West champion Arizona 35-14 to stay alone atop the NFC North. Adrian Peterson rushed for 165 yards on 28 carries, his franchise record ninth 100-yard game of the season for the Vikings (9-5), who won their fourth in a row. They can clinch the division title with another victory or loss by Chicago. This is a great sign for the Vikes! This win was much needed, and from this I think they will continue to gain some confidence and do some damage the rest of the season! Go Vikes!

Missing Man?

In the article I read today, on the startribune online. A 45 year old man named Mark Vetsch has gone missing. St. Cloud Police are searching for a vulnerable adult who has a history of mental illness He apparently left his St. Cloud home on the evening of Dec. 3, driving a 1998 green Ford Taurus with Minnesota license plates RNY890. Police said he left a note indicating he may hurt himself. In the article they mention that the man has no weapons with him but no one knows where he is going or where he currently is. I think its really weird that people do this kind of stuff. I mean I know he has mental problems but still, why just randomly drive off? Hopefully the police are able to find this guy and figure out whats up with him. When they find him they should probably get hime mental help so things like this don't happen again.

Is Gaborik gone?

Marian Gaborik has been with the Wild for a very long time, he is pretty much the "backbone" of the team. He is the one player that everyone has always known the Wild for having, unfortantly hes looking for a trade. In the article I read called Gaborik and Wild: A road to nowhere? by Michael Russo, it talks about how Garborik is looking for a trade. Why? He desires a more wide-open system, assistant GM Tom Lynn has presented Gaborik statistics to prove he is not held back. Gaborik is tired of being leaned on, and wants consistent linemates. He has been frustrated by the Wild's lack of impact trade-deadline and free-agent moves. I don't blame him. The Wild never spends any money on well known players. Nor do they ever have a good team in general, they have yet to win a stanley cup. It would be bad to lose Gaborik because he is pretty much all the team has.

How bout those Vikings...

The article I read is called "Suspended Vikings head off field, maybe into court." Its about how Kevin Williams and Pat Williams will be suspended for the final four games of the regular season without pay for violating the leagues rules on anabolic steroids and other substances. However both of them, along with four others who were suspended on Tuesday, may apply for injunctions Wednesday in U.S. District Court in an try to continue playing. This is crucial for the Vikings to figure this out. There finally winning and they need to get things straight if they want to make play-offs. I don't know a whole lot about football and if these guys are "key" players, but if they are they better figure things out. I don't understand how professinal athletes who have everything going for them screw up by doing drugs and stuff like that. Its really terrible because kids look up to them.
