The Minnesota Twins have dominated the AL Central in recent years but they backslid slightly in 2005 to just 83 wins after posting over 90 wins in each of their previous 3 seasons.

Keep in mind that the Twins were just 16-21 versus the World Champion White Sox and emerging Cleveland Indians last season.

Fumbling six times and throwing two interceptions won't produce conference championships. I'm not one to argue the better team lost, because if they were better, they'd have won. But Sunday's Vikings team? Whoooooff. How many touchdowns do they win by if the Saints don't figure out the fumble button on the joystick? At least two, right? Regardless, that was one of the sloppiest playoff games I've ever seen. The officiating was dreadful, the coaching was questionable, and the mistakes were endless. Maybe we should just give the Jets a second shot at the Colts for the Super Bowl. Of the final four teams, New Orleans was the team I couldn't bear to see in Miami. Now, because Minnesota[..]

Minnesota is a great place to go ice fishing for catfish. Ice fishing is growing in popularity all the time as more anglers are learning some of the advantages it has to offer. In the past, many anglers consider ice fishing to be more difficult than fishing in warmer weather because you can't just go boating through the water until you find a spot you want to try. Instead, you have to drill a hole through the ice and try that one area to see what kind of luck you have. If there are no catfish in that spot you will have to move to a different location and drill another hole and start over. Therefore, you are much more limited. Still, there are many reasons why ice fishing for catfish in[..]
