Is this the Seattle Seahawks being cute? Forty-nine million for seven years–sound familiar?

I don’t know how the Seahawks structured their contract with Nate Burleson, but I have a hard time believing he’s worth that much. According to Judd Zulgad’s Star Tribune article, $5.25 million is guaranteed. That sounds a bit pricey.

As I said before, I like Bureleson but considering our current situation at receiver, I wouldn’t be extremely upset at losing him–especially if keeping him meant overpaying–and getting a third round pick as compensation.

Zulgad reports in the same article that Sam Cowart will sign with the Houston Texans.

Okay, this is a new thing I’m going to do in conjunction with my Twin Cities Bars, Restaurants & Entertainment Hotspots map. I will occasionally write up a little blurb on places in the Twin Cities  that I like for one reason or another and then link to these posts from my Twin Cities mashup. We’ll see if it drives traffic deeper into my blog. Without further ado, then…

My eldest sister is the best! I absolutely love Tavern On Grand and she knows it because I took her there when she visited from Vermont for her annual trek through the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. She remembered and sent me a gift certificage from Tavern On Grand for Christmas. Sweet!

Whenever I have friends or family in from out of town, I take them there for the Walleye dinner. It’s about seventeen, eighteen bucks for a two-fillet dinner but it’s worth every penny. Uhhhhhhhh, so good. They’ve got plenty
of seating but a small bar, so if you’re going there to hang at the bar and take
in a baseball game, good luck.

Not only do they have the best Walleye
ever, but they serve Summit
Beer as well. They have wi-fi access, but it’s restricted. ASIDE: You
might want to mention something to them about that ;-).

Check out more cool places around the metro at my Twin Cities Bars, Restaurants & Entertainment Hotspots map.

The Smoking Gun has posted Vice President Dick Cheney’s rider, stipulating his requirements for staying at a given hotel. The temperature in the room has to be 68 degrees. Four bottles of water. Four cans of diet, caffeine-free Sprite. The decaf coffee must be hot before he arrives and it must be served in a carafe. The television must be tuned to Fox News. Of course. (The Smoking Gun also has the documents in the case where Prince is being sued by his LA landlord, Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer, for painting the place purple.)

Prima donnas.
