Paging Top Jimmy

Aug 15th, 2008 | By SBG | Category: WGOM Headlines

Minnesotan excels in bad writing contest.
Globally acclaimed bad writer Russ Winter of southern Minnesota says he keeps up on current events and just goes "in a strange direction ... jotting down and taking a look at it. Then, the more you look at it, the worse it gets."
With that recipe, Winter won for himself [...]

In Which SBG Suffers Greatly

Aug 3rd, 2008 | By SBG | Category: Featured Articles, Miscellaneous

My teeth are gritted and I'm strapped into my chair. Time to read a week's worth of columns from the six columnists in town and summarize them for you. I do it because I love you and believe me, it hurts me more than it hurts you.

Top Jimmy: Excuse Me, But These Twins Stories Are Pretty Good, Too

Jul 18th, 2008 | By SBG | Category: WGOM Headlines

TJ makes some sense, and says he'll take the Twins All-Stars over Josh Hamilton.
Redemption is a glamorous story-line, but isn't it better this way, following three model athletes with no need for it?
Yeah, I can get behind that.



Cup of Coffee: July 14, 2008

Jul 14th, 2008 | By SBG | Category: Cup of Coffee

I happened to catch a couple of minutes of Reusse and Top Jimmy talking about Mauer and Morneau and their leadership (I thought they weren't the leader types -- oh, that was last year, heh). TJ addressed the issue of his dressing down Mauer last year, saying that he wrote about it only because [...]



TJ Wants to Be Rick Reilly

You know, I just hate Rick Reilly. He's a pompous ass and he has a tendency to inject himself into his stories. That makes this article (complete with pictures) of Souhan working out with Matt Birk all the more cringe worthy. A middle aged sportswriter can't keep up with a Pro [...]
