Everythings funnier at 3...

Studying at 3 in the morning, I come across a message among my notes:

"He doesn't have a lot of answers today. He should guess, make something up. If I was teaching, I'd make stuff up."

One advantage of becoming a teacher is that your students take you at your word.

Four days after the story broke, Jared Allen is still a Kansas City Chief. The NFL has a rule in place that says a player can only visit a team for a period of 48 hours, forcing Allen to leave Minnesota earlier today (Sunday). Although he hasn't signed a contract, there are conflicting reports that the Vikes were close to both contract agreements with Allen and trade agreements with the Chiefs. However, now it sounds more like the Vikes are going to try to sign Allen to a poison pill contract after the draft, which would mean they'd be giving up their next 2 first round draft choices. It's an interesting choice, considering right now, the price would likely be the 17th pick in this year's draft, as well as a 2nd or maybe even 3rd round draft pick. The big difference is that if Allen makes the impact that the Vikes think/hope he will make, the first round draft picks will be late ones. I'm torn on the issue.

On a side note, I just joined a touch football team.
