Jeff:

Because the Vikes don't play this week, and because I don't have time, I'm going to put off the Daunte opinions until early next week. Nice to see Zygy not do the right thing and give Tice the vote of confidence today. Although, usually when that happens, that means the coach is walking the plank. We'll see.

Friday I'm going to start a new feature. No, not regular writings on this site! We might actually get regular readers if we did crazy stuff like that. No, instead I'm going to type the inaugural edition of "The Whine List". To explain, let me take you back to 1999. People were scared to death of the Y2K bug that was going to wipe out our banking system and cause mass chaos. Or something like that. Well obviously that didn't happen, but I found something it DID do: it has caused the world to be a completely fair, balanced, and just world. Yup, everyone is entitled to their rights, and by rights, I mean getting anything they want whenever they want it. Oh, and they don't have to earn it. They just deserve it because they want it. As a matter of fact, it's even more unfair if you do have to work for what you want.

If, for some strange reason, you don't get exactly what you want when you want, you have the right to bitch, complain, rant, rave and scream about it. Or hire lawyers, which do the same thing. Every kid that plays a sport now has to make the team and be a winner. Anytime something bad happens to somebody it's definitely not their fault- even if it clearly IS their fault. Yup, the world is fair, and people are unhappy when it's unfair. And therefore there's been a LOT of whining since the turn of the century.

There's been a few, mostly (ok, actually entirely) sports related whinings this week. I'll share those Friday.

PS-- the NHL starts tonight. Celebrate in the best way you see fit. I'm going to do homework. Yippee!!
