The Sixth Sense NBA Playoffs: Everyone but the Heat have been dead the entire time...

I see the Heat winning...cause these glasses are big enough to see in the future and dead people.

How many times have you re-watched the movie “The Sixth Sense”?

Before you answer, consider that it doesn’t count if you watched it on a Saturday afternoon on TBS because nothing else is on TV on a Saturday afternoon other than old movies.

With that in mind, if you answered with anything more than “0”, I guess you can stop reading now. You won’t get the rest of this post. Stop reading! No seriously, we’re done here; we don’t need you ruining this post for the rest of us. If you are one of those that watched it (or any other movie) again on a long Saturday afternoon on commercial TV, you can keep reading, because, like me, you must have a lot of time to waste if you watch a movie that turns into a 7 hour mini-series with commercials.

Ok, I think the weirdoes are all gone.

Ken's Bachelor Party: How I Remember KC...

Joe Toasting the Bachelor

5 Dudes, 1 SUV, Kansas City the destination, celebrating the end of a bachelor the goal. Looking back, we made the destination after going "souf" only to miss a turn and have to go back "norf" (#faith). In the end, we definitely celebrated the end of Ken's bachelorhood, but what else? Last Sunday we all returned and were only one broken heart and thousands of dead brain cells worse for the wear.

Why Kansas City? Ask Ken.

Via Bleed Purple Blog: Vikings Draft Review

Yet again, it's a post from our buddy Andrew over at Bleed Purple Vikings blog. I heard that there was a draft over the weekend, I wasn't paying much attention as I was filling myself with BBQ and booze down in Kansas City. More on that trip coming up later this week. Until then, enjoy the Vikings draft breakdown from Bleed Purple and be sure to check out Bleed Purple often for Vikings news and opinion.

The Minnesota Vikings get an A- during the NFL Draft. Of course the Vikings hit it big with three first round draft picks in Sharrif Floyd DT from Florida, CB Xavier Rhodes from Florida State and WR Cordarrelle Patterson Tennessee. I believe each one of these guys can make an immediate impact this year.

Via Bleed Purple Blog: Vikings NFL Draft Preview

In year's past I've done a NFL Mock Draft, and those have always been spot on...

This year though I'm lazy...don't have enough time I'm bringing in a good buddy of mine, a Viking obsessed expert in Andrew from Bleed Purple blog. (GO TO HIS SITE!) He graciously lent us this post that he posted on his site yesterday for us to share with the STOB'ers.   Check out his site for Vikings news and more and hopefully we'll be doing some draft review, including Andrew, next week sometime. Until then, enjoy his analysis.

Can you believe it's almost here! The Minnesota Vikings head into this year’s draft with the 23rd and 25th pick in the first round. Look for the Vikings to make some trades Thursday night to move back and get more picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. This is a very deep draft at certain positions and the Vikings must find value in rounds 1-4. They could also move up to grab a guy like Tavon Austin, but I don't see the Vikings trading draft picks to move up. Areas of needs are WR, CB, S, LB, DT and you can never use enough depth on the offensive line. Here are some guys I see the Vikings willing to take at 23rd or the 25th pick.

Not Your Normal 2013 NBA Playoff Predictions

Bringing the Thunder on the Thunder.

Ever since STOB came into existence we've done some sort of NBA Playoff Preview/Prediction post. This year Ken and I decided we'd go a different route in making our picks. He is going to make his picks based of the mascots of the teams, and his analysis of which mascot would win in an imaginary fight between mascots. 

As for me, I'll be choosing my own personal favorite individual player from each franchise's history and then picking the winner based off of who'd win between the two players in their prime, in a game of 1-1. Unlike March Madness, the NBA Playoffs are usually not as hard to predict, the series allow for the favorites to have an off-night or two. With that, our odd way of picking the games may backfire and make us look like idiots, but A) we're used to it and B) the picks actually turned out pretty good.
