This Week’s Column in The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead
This week’s column is all about vehicle deals. Need a new one? Thinking about something a little larger for the family? A sturdy performer that has good cargo space. I’d like to bring your attention to an option you may not have considered. Deals Abound on Space Shuttles
Vikings vs. Saints: Whose Destiny Wins?
The relationship most fans have with their NFL team is one built on love, trust and understanding. They understand there will be peaks and valleys. They acknowledge there will be times another team will tempt them. And they accept the fact that love alone does not solve all problems. It’s with these delicate points in mind, [...]
This Week’s Column in The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead
My column in the Forum this week is on the art scene in Fargo and how it relates to other cities. I’m once again a little late on the draw but no matter; the column is there for the reading. Hope you enjoy it! WARNING: The elements of satire, irony and parody, in varying degrees, are at [...]
In Derek Dooley, Has Tennessee Finally Found Their Man? (video)

Is a Loss Ever Irrelevant? Some KU Fans Think So
When the Kansas Jayhawks come to town for a basketball game, it’s an Event. It makes little difference if the team is top-ranked, top 10 or top 25. It’s Kansas, and KU spells Historic. It’s much the same when UCLA comes sailing into your town from the west coast for a game. They can be a [...]
This Week’s Column in The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead
I’m a little late on the draw this week… nevertheless… My first 2010 column centers on college football bowl games. My thought: Let ‘em ALL play in a bowl game! It’s gotten completely ridiculous, with 68 out of 120 teams playing for the right to become national champion or… 7-6. A Need for More Bowl Games
