Brought to you by Mr. Cheer or Die and the Vikes Geek, welcome to theI turned on local talk radio station 100.3 (KLTK) this morning to learn what I could about the next snow storm to hit the state. Yes, snow storm. In April. Over a foot expected. I'm so thrilled.
But the first thing I heard was host Chris Baker asking, "Should the cops have shot Carl Eller?" I was floored. Shoot Eller? Are you serious? Baker referenced a poll on his site along with a question "since the Vikings desperately need help at defensive end, should the Vikings consider signing Carl Eller to a contract?"
I went to the site and sure enough, there were the questions.
Are you kidding me? How could anyone talk about shooting Carl Eller? Baker stated he was not saying he wished the cops had shot Eller, but rather that it was an option and he felt the cops should have considered it. The sad fact is, most of the listeners think Eller should have been shot.
All I can say is, the world is turning sick. And I am so thankful the the policemen showed the restraint they did and were able to avoid using a bullet on Eller.
Thoughts?

Last night was wierd, we had those stroms that moved though Iowa. The temp was 57 at the end of the storm, and yes it started to snow with the rain. NEVER in my 50+ years have I ever seen anything like that!
PS Eller still has problems, but he is still a football hero of mine.
cheers
Mike, it was ugly here as well. Rain, sleet then heavy, heavy snow. Windy as hell. And it is April 11. Maybe we've been spoiled as of late. Global warming my left nut.
Posted by: Brian Maas at April 11, 2008 08:49 AMthe fact that the "should the cops have shot him" question was split 66.67% vs 33.33% I'm guessing only 3 people voted. Statistically insignificant (which, incidentally, is also a good word for Chris Baker)
