Former Gopher WR Barker Arrested for Marijuana

Minnesota’s best WR AJ Barker left the team suddenly and unexpected last November. Barker, a St. Paul native who went to high school at De La Salle, led the Gophers this year with 30 catches, 577 yards and seven TDs before spraining his ankle. After a disagreement with head coach Jerry Kill, Barker left the Gophers and accused coach Kill of abusive behavior. There was not much more explanation as to why he left. A few weeks later, he accepted a scholarship with the University of Houston. He was set to begin classes at UH next Monday. However, last...

Kevin Love Expected to Return in March

It has been a difficult stretch for the Timberwolves. Losers of four straight and eight of their last eleven, the Wolves can’t seem to catch a break. A team that hasn’t been near full strength the entire season continually finds itself facing more and more injuries. With a 16-19 record nearly halfway through the season, the Wolves’ hopes to finally return to the playoffs seems fleeting. Minnesota has received a tiny bit of good news, although it’s not nearly as good as we would hope. At this point, however, we’ll take any bit of good news we can get....

Bad Lip Reading of Adrian Peterson

We came across a site that inserts fake dialogue into conversations. Their bad lip reading of NFL players had us rolling on the floor. We couldn’t stop laughing. The clip opens up with Adrian Peterson being interviewed by Pam Oliver after he willed the Vikings to victory over the Packers and into the playoffs. Most everyone remembers the actual interview, which included Pam Oliver revealing to AP that he was 9 yards short of Eric Dickerson’s all time single season rushing record. Here’s Bad Lip Reading’s take on what AP said: AP: “Egg roll. I wish I had a...

TCH YouTube Favorites: Three Amazing Shots

January 15, 2013

These shots have nothing to do with Minnesota Sports at all, but they’re just too unbelievable not to be providing them to you. Grab a coffee or a beer, sit back, and enjoy.   The shot and the comical reactions afterward are incredible. There are so many questions left unanswered. Did the shot win the game or was it meaningless? Why is the red team celebrating more than the black team? Why is the one kid from red team celebrating with the black team at center court? Did the coach draw up this play? Will this be the story...

New CBA Should Help Wild Become Profitable

The Minnesota Wild’s first game is less than a week away. Hockey fans throughout Minnesota are abuzz with anticipation for the NHL season to open. For the Wild, it begins against Colorado this Saturday night at Xcel. NHL fans throughout the U.S. and Canada were frustrated by the lockout, which persisted for 113 days. The lockout, however, is the thing that just might make Minnesota’s franchise profitable. While fans grumbled throughout the state as the beginning of the season was pushed back further and further in 2012 and eventually into 2013, owners like Wild owner Craig Leipold knew he...

No Love for Wild in Preseason Rankings

Despite signing Zach Parise and Ryan Suter last July for nearly $200 million combined, the Minnesota Wild apparently have some work to do on the ice before the national media buys in. Buzz around the Wild is higher than it’s ever been in franchise history, save the one exciting run to the 2003 Western Conference finals. Yet some media pundits are still in wait and see mode. In ESPN’s preseason power rankings, the Wild rank #15. A spot that is probably low for this team. Here’s what Pierre LeBrun had to say: “Yes, I know, lots of people are...

Spielman Has No Issues With Percy Harvin

Vikings GM Rick Spielman seems to have grown tired of the speculation that there is a major tiff between WR Percy Harvin and the Vikings organization. In something that has been going on for quite awhile, Speilman finally tried to quell the idea that personal conduct issues were a factor in putting Harvin on season ending Injury Reserve. “Percy comes to work every day. Everybody sees what Percy puts on the field. He plays the game as hard or harder than anyone else in the NFL, the effort that he puts up out there,” Spielman said. “So, we have...
