James "Hollywood" Robinson: How does one thrive in the last five minutes of garbage time when they have been glued to the bench throughout the first 43 minutes of the game? This should be a psychology case study. You single-handedly won three to four games by yourself that the Timberwolves had pretty much given up on...you drained three after three after three until Flip would bring the starters back in to help assist you in the dramatic comeback victories.
Spergon Wynn: If Randy Moss and Cris Carter can't make you into an NFL caliber quarterback, it's time to hang up your cleats. So by default, your One Shining Moment was somebody naming you "Spergon".
Jim Wacker: I love how you come in here from coaching the Necessary Roughness team down in Texas, and then decide that we are going to alter the uniforms so they don't even resemble our school colors. Jim, in case you didn't understand we have some tradition here in Gopher Nation Football...1. losing 2. losing in Maroon and Gold uniforms.
Paul Molitor: My fondest memory of Paul Molitor was when he was a bench coach for the Twins. Twins were playing in Cleveland and the umpire was shrinking the strike zone when the talented Indians team was up to bat. Molitor who is usually pretty calm, loses it and gets kicked out of the game for arguing the inconsistent strike zones for both teams. Before he does though, he throws a batting tee onto the field to symbolize how small the strike zone was for Cleveland...it was classic, but even more classic since it came from a mild-mannered Molitor.
Ndudi Ebi: I still have flashbacks of David Stern saying..."the Minnesota Timberwolves select Doody E.B..." That has to be your moment in the sun, other than depositing that guaranteed money every two weeks, for three years into your bank account.
Cris Dishman: You are one of the many reasons I don't care for cornerbacks. While the infamous Antonio Freeman catch, let him fall down and don't touch him, and then let him get up and run all the way to the endzone while I try to find the closest camera to celebrate/sulk...irritates me...it brings up a bigger point. Why do cornerbacks always celebrate the "almost" plays? Just because the offense didn't make a play, doesn't mean that you necessarily made a play. I don't need your stupid gestures and/or facial expressions to tell me you "almost" made a play. Just catch the ball...oh yeah you guys can't catch it, otherwise you would be on the offensive side of the ball (insert: unless your Troy Williamson joke here).
Shane Heal: You had International success against the USA team in the Olympics. The Timberwolves are really interested and obtain you...yet, you never had an impact on our franchise the way we had hoped. Did I just describe the Ricky Rubio situation...??
Butch Huskey: You were one of the pioneers...of "washed-up veteran baseball player that the Twins will sign for cheap to make it seem like they are improving the ball club to the fan base, then they either release or trade you midway through the year because the experiment shockingly failed."

1) I think you have underestimated your readership. You have at least two followers--that's 100% more than you thought.
ReplyDelete2) The Butch Huskey call is out standing. He did pave the way for the Rondell White's of the world to latch on with the Twins.
