I'm a little surprised that Claeys broke up the staff immediately when Kill left, after spending more than 15 years together. I hope he can find an offensive coach that can develop Croft and he can take over full-time at QB next year. He also really played the injury card this season, which is one of the oldest cliches in the book. Every single college team goes through injuries, and ends up playing kids that weren't expected to contribute. Just call it like it was, a failed season. Going into next year, I'm very intrigued with Brooks and Smith as the backfield tandem. The team will only go as far as the QB takes them, and I'm tired of Liedner.

I should go back and re-watch it too, I bet it'd be even better knowing how it all plays out, because the first time watching I was very intrigued, but confused as to what was real and what was not real. I thought they did a great job disguising the fact that Slater was all in Elliot's head. To be honest I thought he was still alive and real up until the Whiterose episode when he kisses his sister Darlene. The next episode after that when he took a trip to his childhood town was crazy intense and at the end, I remember thinking Elliot is officially insane. Tough to say what happened to Tyrell, I'm sure that will be answered quickly in season 2. I hope he sticks around and wasn't killed by Elliot since he hasn't been seen in 3 days. Before Tyrell was on a mission to be the youngest executive in the company's history, but clearly that didn't work out. Now I think his end game is to destroy the currency of the world just like Elliot wants. That's a very good thought that maybe we're all seeing what happened through Elliot's eyes. So maybe the dialogue was exaggerated because that's what Elliot wanted to hear. I wouldn't doubt that was the case. As far as other characters returning, I'm pretty intrigued with Angela, Elliot's childhood friend. I think there's more to the story with her. I don't think she's as innocent as she claims to be.

Someone from the Twins FO forgot to send the memo to Detroit that they were supposed to rebuild, not reload.

According to Jon Heyman from CBS Sports, Jordan Zimmerman is closing in on signing a 5 year, $110 million contract with the Detroit Tigers.
-
Yeah I'm with you on that. I learned my lesson after the 2009 Vikings season that I'll never fully invest my emotions in that franchise again. There are plenty of sports to watch this time of year, but I could care less about basketball, and my passion for hockey is dwindling now that I'm gone from the "State of Hockey"
-
Yeah it really should be common sense, instead of making it a day... October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month if that helps... Even so, just don't do it. And the people that do those sorts of things, are the scum of the earth. Scorching hot take.

We've got a few fine choices today.... Today is National Parfait Day. Big fan of that with fruit, ice cream, and a dash of yogurt - mix it all together and bam! A tasty treat. Today is also National Tie One On Day. If you're like me, you need to get your mind out of the gutter. The description is pretty sexist, where they celebrate the women wearing aprons preparing thanksgiving meals. I'm a guy who will gladly throw on an apron and get to work preparing a meal. Most importantly, it's International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. My favorite choice, is National Blase' Day. So, like, whatever man. Aaron Hicks was traded? Meh. Byoung-Ho Pak still hasn't signed with the Twins? Bleh. I'm over it.

Pretty close to a TR thread??

HUNDREDS of years we've used anchovies as a source of food, and only 1 good way to use them (on pizza)? That's the definition of mediocrity. When have anchovies ever been aggressive and acquired an ace level food source to team up with them? Anchovies are past their time, and need to go.
-
Yeah I don't think you can look at any examples in the past that show 1 elite prospect netting an ace caliber P like Fernandez. Then again there probably isn't a lot of examples of 23 year old star P's being shopped around. None the less, it's going to take quality, and quantity to acquire someone like Fernandez. I'm on board to try and acquire him.

The company potluck is done. 2 full plates and now I'm ready for a nap.
-
Sardines and peanut butter? Ish....
-
I think you can make that case. I'm just thrilled that the show didn't take a nose dive in season 2 like True Detective.. Speaking of Breaking Bad, it felt like Ed made a transformation last night similar to that show. Up until last night it seemed like a guy caught up in circumstances and letting it snowball out of his control. Now all of a sudden he's finding Milligan's phone number and toying with him? Sounds like he finally realized there's only one way out of this mess.
-
Today may be the worst National Day of the year...... National Sardines Day. "Some people are afraid to even taste these small, silver fish but sardines have a delicious taste that is loved by millions across the United States." Millions?? That may be a stretch. I'm going to make up a National Day since the real one is awful. Today is National Corporate Potluck Day. Today seems to be the day that every company in America has a pre-Thanksgiving meal together, and my office is no different. I brought in green bean casserole to share... I'm very excited for the turkey and brisket being catered in for lunch.
-
Not surprising for us FARGO fans, but the show was renewed for a 3rd season today http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2015/11/23/fargo-renewed-third-season-fx/76267476/ I have no doubt that they will strike gold again.

Are you saving up for this potential trip when the Twins are in town? That's my only regret when I visited the Windy City in 2012. We went to go see a lousy Cubs game instead!

MLB Rumors: A lot of interest in Plouffe
Vanimal46 replied to HitInAPinch's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Plouffe's value seems to be all over the map.... The Twins could probably get some thing more exciting if more players other than him are included in a trade. I really don't believe that a middle of the road 3B is causing GM's to line up outside of 1 Twins Way offering top 10 org. prospects to acquire him. -
Agreed on that. Now that Baylor and OK State are pretty much toast, I don't see anyone from the Big 12 making the playoffs.
-
Yep, agreed. Who cares what I could have spent my Las Vegas losses on... I still had a great time!!
-
Wilin Rosario is a guy I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on. Drew Butera? Good god no.
-
I'm with you on the espresso Chitown. It makes me way too hyper and jittery whenever I have it. Normal coffee does the trick for me to wake up. No love for pistachios? My top 3 nuts: Pistachios, Cashews, Almonds

The Big 10 Championship game is going to be a lot of fun to watch this year. Whoever wins between MSU and Iowa is a lock to get into the College Football Playoff. ND is a tough one... They don't play in a conference, and arguably hasn't played the strongest schedule. They might be the ones losing out when it's all said and done. As far as expanding the field to 8 teams, I'm not sure if that will happen, mainly for scheduling reasons. Not sure if they want to have the National Championship Game at the end of January, or in February when you're going up against the NFL Playoffs. No matter how many teams they have - 4, 8, 16, 68 - There's always going to be a pissed off team that didn't make it in. 4 seems like a good number to keep going forward.
-
We have a couple of decent choices today.... Today is National Cashew Day. There's several dishes that I like cashews in, and they are good on their own too. I will say it's not my favorite nut; that award goes to Pistachios. Most notably the salt and pepper pistachios from Costco. Today is also National Espresso Day. If I am in a coffee shop, that's one of my favorites to order. Most days I'm just a regular coffee with a little bit of cream guy. Finally it's National Eat a Cranberry Day. I only get my cranberry fix around Thanksgiving, and I don't seek the fruit any other time of the year.

MLB Rumors: A lot of interest in Plouffe
Vanimal46 replied to HitInAPinch's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
High aspirations, low expectations folks. Would I like a position player or SP for Plouffe? Absolutely. Do I expect that to happen? Not really. I think it's fair to expect that the return for Plouffe is a solid bullpen arm. I will be excited to see who it is when the deal is made. -
Are you taking bets? I'd love to have 6 months rent free.
