Minnesota Twins draft Ohio State’s Alex Wimmers in 1st round

By

Alex Wimmers has already distinguished himself on the playing field as an Ohio State Buckeye by becoming the first-ever back-to-back Big Ten Pitcher of the Year.

With the 30th Pick the Minnesota Vikings select…

By

by Peter Christian The Vikings have a love/hate relationship with the NFL draft. Well, I guess I should say I have a love/hate relationship with the Vikings NFL Draft decisions. They've had their share of great 1st round picks over the years (Randy Moss, Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, Kevin Williams) but they've also had their share of disastrous blunders (Demetrius Underwood, … [Read more...] about With the 30th Pick the Minnesota Vikings select…

NFC North Predictions

By

By the The Sports Bank Staff 1. Chicago (10-6) Jay Cutler hoopla aside, remember one thing, this division isn’t very good. Best Quarterback=best chance at winning week to week. Yes, I know their receivers and overall pass rush is a hot mess, but who else really has the talent to beat a team that was 9-7 last year and greatly improved themselves? 2. Minnesota (9-7) Purple … [Read more...] about NFC North Predictions
