I'm always surprised when all sorts of crazy breaking news happens at once. Today it has happened in the sports world. My favorite basketball player, Kevin Garnett, has been traded to the Celtics. One of my favorite Twins has been traded to New York. Bill Walsh died. Michael Vick's co-defendant pled guilty. The Vikings signed their #1 pick, Adrian Peterson. All of this news broke in the last 24 hours. And on top of it all, in legal news, the Chief Justice of the United States was injured in a fall at his summer home and was hospitalized. (Sorry: obligatory legal comment for a blog that tends to be about law.)
One thing that isn't news: Vikings receivers are only four days into training camp, and they already appear to be dropping passes like they're trying to set a record. Is there any song that's the opposite of "Drop It Like It's Hot?" Can we get a sports psychologist and music therapist working together on this one?
But I digress: the biggest item of today is KG. That old Don McClean song is so overused and overquoted in these situations. But I can't help feeling that if KG is gone from Minnesota, then despite all the other news events, today is the day the music died.

Bummer about Garnett. Too bad he couldn't get to a championship in MN. Ponder this: will the vikes win more games than the t-wolves this season?

Haha. I've got the Vikes going 3-13. Wolves look like about 4-78. So it's a close call, but I'm taking the Wolves.
Other interesting stats: will the Wild double the Wolves victories? Will the Wild's victories top the Vikes' by a factor of 10?
