Worth Noting

Posted on February 15, 2010February 7, 2012 by David Shama

The Vikings will draft No. 30 among 32 teams and will take defensive tackle Dan Williams of Tennessee, according to Don Banks of Sports Illustrated.  The Vikings will miss an opportunity to take Florida quarterback Tim Tebow who will be chosen at No. 26 by St. Louis.  https://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/don_banks/01/28/mock.draft.1/index.html.

Former Vikings defensive tackle John Randle, who was recently selected for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, not only was undrafted coming out of college but Tampa Bay wanted him to tryout as a linebacker.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Bobby Knight, already one of the best college basketball color commentators ever, would leave ESPN for the right coaching job.  That could include Minnesota if Tubby Smith were to leave the Gophers.

Last week the roster of racehorses at Gulfstream Park in Florida included a horse with a great name: Don’t Ask the Doc.  A symbolic bet, no doubt, for a person with a high deductible health insurance policy who wants to avoid seeing a physician.

Those with even a casual interest in tennis might check out the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue that features Brooklyn Decker, Andy Roddick’s wife.

Martina Navratilova and Lindsay Davenport will headline an exhibition on Saturday, April 10 at Eden Prairie High School as part of the Tennis Festival of the North weekend.  www.tennisfestivalofthenorth.com.

For the first time in years, Gustavus isn’t the pre-season favorite to win the men’s conference tennis championship in a MIAC coaches poll .  Gustavus, champs every year since 1989, is picked second after Carleton.  In voting by women’s coaches Gustavus, champions each season since 1992, is first followed by Carleton.

The U.S. hockey team received a boost when Zach Parise, the Minneapolis native who has been injured, committed to playing in the Winter Olympics.  Canada will be in mourning if its hockey team doesn’t win the gold medal in Vancouver.
