Posted on 09/03/10 at 09:41 am in response to Want your child to become a professional athlete? Raise him or her in a small town, research suggests

Children attending smaller schools have more opportunities to actaully "make the team" and play their chosen sport(s). I know plenty of decent athletes who did not make varsity teams (simply because of numbers) when attending high schools of 2,000 students.

Riverboat gambling...
So we can have more people stealing from their employers, bilking charitable organizations, and fleecing family members to feed their gambling addictions.

Posted on 02/15/10 at 01:59 pm in response to AM1500's Reusse moving to afternoons; pairs up with Soucheray

KSTP can probably make a "go" of being an all sports station, but sadly, the Twin Cities lost a good radio station. Perhaps the ratings weren't the best but their news coverage is good and their weekend personalities were appealing. I don't know why they would essentially pin their wagon to two personalities: Ruesse and Soucheray. Patrick's work ethic is unrivaled but Soucheray is off the air nearly as much as he is on. Best wishes to all who lost their jobs.

A nicely written article.
Instead of "Smooth Operator", I'd recommend Sade's "Is it a Crime?"

Posted on 01/04/10 at 11:50 am in response to For flapjack-loving former U president Yudof, it's now mostly flaps

Mr. Yudolf is less smart than I thought him to be.
Why would one take the President job at the University of California when you know what an economic and social mess the State has become?
I think it's about ego and I have little empathy for him. I can understand leaving Minnesota to go home to Texas, but how many big universities does one need to be President of? I sense it's about ego and money and aside from his salary, the lack of latter will lead to an unpleasant stay in...

Posted on 12/04/09 at 10:03 am in response to AM1500 takes a hit in November Arbitrons

Part of the problem for KSTP-1500 is that their meal ticket is Joe Soucheray, who for some perplexing reason, seems to be gone from the air as much as he is on the air. Each time I tune in and find a substitute for Joe, I turn to the radio to KFAN.

Posted on 12/01/09 at 09:26 am in response to Mike Huckabee's unfortunate connection to the Seattle police-shooting suspect

Two points:
1. "Unfortunate" is a poor choice of words by Mr. Eric Black, considering four people are dead and four families devastated.
2. Mike Huckleberry is a second teamer and nobody cares if he runs for president.

Mr. Wilf needs to be reminded that he had a financial partner in Anoka County and Blaine. He is the one who scuttled that deal. I could care less about the Vikings. You own the team, Mr. Wilf. If you wish to leave, just leave.

Posted on 11/13/09 at 02:04 pm in response to Jeanette Trompeter returns home to California station

WCCO blew it when they let Jennette Trompeter go. I now longer watch their newscast. Leah McLean on channel-5 is equally as charming and engaging. One might as well stick with channel-5, locally owned and not as likely to pull saw a stupid stunt. Good luck to you, Jennette.

He would get highter approval ratings if he got rid of that ridiculous beard. Seriously.
