Mid-day: There’s a lot of stuff on the Internets
Posted on March 30th, 2007 – 1:32 PMBy Michael Rand
If you ever wanted to know more about the guy who created the “One Shining Moment” song they play during the NCAA tournament, look no further. “Writing this song changed my life,” David Barrett said. ZZ Top feels the same way about, “Tush,” we’re guessing. (thanks to Don for the link).
And, in keeping with the spirit of only accepting links from folks’ whose names start with “Do,” thanks to Doug for pointing out the Tilt-a-Whirl might soon be the official ride of Minnesota. Your tax dollars at work.
It’s neck-and-neck between Mike Max and Paul Allen. If you don’t know what we’re talking about, you’d better get over here and vote!
It’s only the NIT, folks. Really, no hurry on those T-shirts. Make sure you get the word spelled right. And be sure … oh … oh no … it doesn’t say West Virgina, does it? Oh dear.

I thought Kelly Lynch was the official ride of Minnesota.
Oh, it’s Maxy, gotta be Maxie. I think he’s actually the bottler of Homer Soda. PA may be annoying, but at least he has Dubay who interrupts The Brows enough to talk some Gopher hockey, but Maxie is the only guy in town whom I would like to choke with his own tongue.
Any poll like that that has Shooter at less than 5% of the vote is a sham, in my eyes.
Although I guess he does have the excuse of not actually being a sports journalist, since he just makes stuff up for his column…
Hey, I don’t get it. I must be missing something. Nathan you can clue me in because with Maxy getting 25% of the vote, you obviously align the quarter of people who are not happy with his work. But is there not to like about the way this guy conducts himself? Do you think he’s to jovial and cozy with the jocks? Is it his hardcore stance in favor of the hunting of winged creatures? Is it the LandRover? Because personally, when I look at Maxy, I see what I maybe aspired to be, but didn’t have the cajones to acheive: a hardworking guy from a small town who chased a dream to be a big fish in a small sports media market (yah, the Twin Cities is still small time.) I mean, you gotta admire a guy with a face like that who procures some TV time for himself! And if this seems like I am damning him with faint praise, well I’m not intending to. I seriously think he does his JOB (you may find his job disgusting) as well as anyone.
