Wednesday (Lebowski) edition: Wha’ happened?

Mark it zero: The Wild was blanked 3-0 in Calgary and fell to 0-10-1 in its past 11 road games. In fact, Minnesota’s last regulation road victory was Oct. 21 in San Jose. This road thing is past the point of ridiculous.

It’s a league game, Smokey: The Mavs beat the Jazz 108-105 in what seemed to be somewhat of a Western Conference statement game. Dirk Nowitzki had a season-high 38 and Jerry Stackhouse was tossed after his second flagrant foul.  

Also, my rug was stolen: The write-in campaign for Rory Fitzpatrick yielded about 550,000 votes for the journeyman Canucks defender — about 23,000 short of what he needed to make the All-Star game. It was a good time while it lasted.

Donny, these men are nihilists: Tom Coughlin, who oversaw the train wreck of a Giants football season that somehow yielded a playoff spot, might get one more chance to lead this club, sources say. Oh, that sound you just heard? Eli Manning punching a wall.

Rory Fitzpatrick was screwed–just like Homer Simpson the year the student body elected him president of the MSA at the U of M!

Like Eli could hit the wall he was aiming for.

Crap, forgot the obligatory Lebowski quote…um, let’s see, okay:

How ya gonna keep ‘em down on the farm once they’ve seen Karl Hungus?

Also, “Karl Hungus” is a wonderful fantasy football team name. As is “Logjammin’”.

Good ones, Stu. What about “Little Lebowski Urban Achievers” (and how proud we are of all of them).

It’s settled, then. Each Wednesday Wha’ Happened (if I remember, that is) will feature lead-ins with quotes from different movies.

That was my attempt at another Big Lewbowski quote.

I think it migth still be down there.

One of my favorite Sportspickle.com (if you haven’t been to the site yet, shame on you!) headlines….”Eli Manning not sure how to tell Giants he was adopted.”

Although the iron saturates, the motion continues to inflate as in air, so the b curve is under no conditions plane.
