Blizzard: NBA Finals Tonight

I don't think LeBron and a mediocre team have a chance against a team as deep and good as the Spurs. But I will watch every game hoping for something special. In 1962, the Celtics outlasted the Lakers in 7 games, but that doesn't make Elgin Baylor's 61 point game 5 any less extraordinary.

Via PFT, the AP reports the sheriff who is described as "leading the investigation" into dogfighting at the Vick property says there are informants linking Vick himself to dogfights.

The Strib reports on Chad Greenway's recovery from his knee injury. His performance in 2007 is going to be key to the defense. Last season E.J. Henderson was an excellent outside linebacker, but with the loss of Napoleon Harris, Henderson is moving to middle linebacker. If Henderson can perform as well at MLB as he did at OLB, and Greenway step up successfully as the OLB, the defense may be able to maintain its dominance from last season.

Access Vikings reports on how Sidney Rice is handling the NFL.

Wages of Wins gives a brief preview of the NBA Finals.

NFC-North.com suggests Adrian Peterson is going to be "the man" at RB, and Chester Taylor is delusional.

Blue Viking Devil is working out ways for the Timberwolves to trade Kevin Garnett.

The Big Picture interviews Bethlehem Shoals of Free Darko.

Last week Phil and I discussed the merits of the NBA MVP; at Double-Nickel, Phil takes a closer look at the meaning of NBA MVP.

10,000 Takes gives us the underrated things about being a Minnesota sports fan. I think the most underrated parts are the anxiety, self-loathing, and despair.

VikingsCards.com is an interesting site if you are a Viking fan and have any interest in football cards and memorabilia.

One of the earliest readers of this blog was Jetsgrumbler, who wrote a very entertaining blog of his own. He slowly faded out of blogging, but is back at a new blog, HalfTurn.
