Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. I enjoyed having four days off, and a weekend of food, football and fun that included a trip to Atlantic City. I capped off the weekend last night by taking in the WWE's Survivor Series at the Wachovia Center, my first live wrestling in several years. I had fun, but I think wrestling has passed me by at this point.
A few other notes from the weekend:
- Apparently Becca and I aren't the only Steve and Becca around.
- The latest Vikings embarrassment: they almost lost to the Cardinals before preventing a last-second touchdown. Had they lost, Childress would totally have been entitled to a "just crown their ass"-type speech. As for the Eagles, Childress is lucky he got a head coaching job last offseason, because had he stuck around this year, he'd be radioactive.
- As for the Turkey of the Year column, I agree with all the nominees, but it's hard to agree with the winner: University of Minnesota womens' basketball coach Pam Borton. I'm sure she's deserving, but I don't see how a performance that only affected the 10 people who watch Gophers womens' hoops is more turkey-worthy than, say, Fred Smoot or Koren Robinson.
