Comments on: The Internets: Whither “Goat of the Week?” http://blogs2.startribune.com/blogs/randball/2008/01/21/the-internets-whither-goat-of-the-week/ Exploring the soft underbelly of sports Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:06:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: skolvikings http://blogs2.startribune.com/blogs/randball/2008/01/21/the-internets-whither-goat-of-the-week/#comment-36058 skolvikings Tue, 22 Jan 2008 13:53:20 +0000 http://blogs2.startribune.com/blogs/randball/2008/01/21/the-internets-whither-goat-of-the-week/#comment-36058 I also think Favre is a goat. If you stop and think you will realize that Brett Favre has the same amount of Super Bowl rings as Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, and Mark Rypien. The way he has been canonized by the football gods you would think that he has won 9 Lombardi Trophies and has thrown for 100,000 yards. If he is as good as everyone seems to think then he should have won the game the other day. He should have led the comeback against the Broncos in the Super Bowl, he had over 3 minutes. Three minutes is an eternity for the likes of Joe Montana and John Elway. I also think Favre is a goat.

Those dirty Canuks took him out a few weeks back and he evened things out with a BIG goal. Solid payback. Even the empty-netter was solid. Great win for the Wild. Too bad Green Bay doesn't have a hockey team. I would have loved to read PPP's recap of this Wild game and why they suck so much. RandBall, are you still employed, or did PPP's threat of getting this blog pulled end your tenure with the Trib? Koivu screaming at the Vancouver bench after his goal in the third was the highlight.

Even the empty-netter was solid. Great win for the Wild. Too bad Green Bay doesn’t have a hockey team. I would have loved to read PPP’s recap of this Wild game and why they suck so much.

RandBall, are you still employed, or did PPP’s threat of getting this blog pulled end your tenure with the Trib?

Lots of scoring chances. 3 goals in about a 2 minute span in the second period. Dude got hit in the face with a stick, no call. It was a Vancouver player, no uglier/no foul.

I have to admit I was cheering for the Pack, but it is nice to have them have their own 1998 to grind their teeth on for the rest of time!

Although Baron Davis had to miss a last second layup for it to happen, and Golden State had to miss the second chance tip. First road win since November 26th, apparently. I guess when there are only 6 wins to count, they tend to be spread out. And now KSTC is having technical difficulties with the post-game interview. They weren't sure what to do when the Wolves actually won. Timberwolves Win!
