Meanwhile, Mat’s crazy mayhem will be posted here.

When you have three kids and Christmas rolls around and you unload all that crap that piles up in the minivan, it seems that your house has just started vomiting …life… from every corner. Every freaking room in my house is an absolute mess, and it is all thanks to you Santa! Why don’t you fold my laundry when you come next year instead?

If you do I will leave you a bottle of homemade Irish Cream!

I watched my Vikes make the playoffs from the friendly confines of Pooley’s Sports Bar in Madison, WI (A fantastic site for any sports fan, check it out if you are in Madison).

While there I was told by another Viking fan (who I did not know) that I shouldn’t say stuff like “the Bears are going to come back, due to their BEARMAGIC” because as he said…

“This is serious.”

My response was, “this isn’t serious it’s football!”

Anyway, all you Sconnie Vikings fans need to try to settle down a bit. Don’t you know half of being a Vikings fan is to predict and expect the letdown? I hate it, but it always seems to happen.

Besides the obvious but less than exciting appointment of T-Jack as the starter and Gus-Gus as the backup, I thought it would be interesting to look at a few possibilities for that position.

#1. Donovan McNabb
It seems like everybody in Philly wants him gone, and since he’s Childress’ boy, that would make some sense.  But, his past few weeks of play will keep him eating cheesesteaks for a few more years.

#2. Matt Hasselbeck
Matt still has a live arm, and is going to be a free agent when the Seahawks cut his huge salary loose.

#3. Derek Anderson
Do we chalk up 2008 as a mirage and hope that 2007 was the trend?

#4. Carson Palmer
He’s not really on the market, but the Bengals might want to unload him and his salary and try to start fresh.

#5. Kurt Warner
Did he sign an extension on Arizona? The Iowa boy might want to sign close to home. If not, Matt Leinart should be available.

#6. Matt Cassell
I think that the Pats need to hold on to Cassell simply because we don’t know if Brady will return in 2009.  The franchise tag may be in play too.

#7. Brian Brohm
The Pack’s third stringer could prove too expensive and may be one of those camp casualties.

Who do you think might be available?

Obviously, i haven’t posted anything in quite a while.  A softball season and a third kid will do that I guess.  I fully intent to work on that, but I am toying with what I want the format of this blog to be.  I think the Crock Pot might be changing a bit in the not too distant future.  Stay tuned for more updates.
