Desktop Sportsman - 08/26/10 - Alaskan Getaway Edition
Old Glory flies in front of Mt. McKinley, the largest mountain on the North American continent. Whether you call it McKinley or Denali (the debate still rages in Alaska) its still awe inspiring nonetheless.August 26, 2010

The Ellsworth Hubbers decided not have a tournament this year, which had been held in conjunction with the Cheese Curd Festival, and decided instead to hold a golf tournament as their main fundraiser. The First Annual Nick Bayer Memorial Golf Tournament will take place July 17 at the Ellsworth Country Club.

Talking about conference expansion is a lot like eating junk food. It's bad for you - because much of what is being said is pure speculation and some breaking news stories turn out to be false - but the topic is so fascinating that it's like a Whopper, it's hard to turn away.

Desktop Sportsman - Memorial Day edition
Pride and remberance to the fallen on this day, not a day to celebrate war itself but the warriors who gave their lives throughout our nation's history. That is what's important.

It's a good thing Bob Uecker is getting heart surgery. Not just because he is a treasure as a broadcaster, but because if he had to endure anymore blown saves by the awful Brewer bullpen, it would be a workplace hazard.

Is an Opening Day performance any indication of how a team will fare during the regular season? One hopes not but given how much attention one gives to it (whether it's football, baseball, basketball or hockey), it's not hard to feel that a loss maybe an omen of doom. Still, as far as the Brewers and Twins are concern it's just one of 162.

Is co-oping and consolidation on the small school level the wave of the future or can the small schools stay independent. The Elmwood/Alma-Pepin girls' basketball regional semifinal game earlier this month juxtaposed two different approaches concerning this question.

There was something that concerned me at the state individual wrestling tournament and that was the number of close defeats Ellsworth took in the meet. There were several matches that could have gone their way and several that were lost late in the third period.

Is there any better Olympic event than hockey? Can you imagine doing nothing for two weeks in a Winter Olympics but watch hockey? Even a game between two less-than-powerful squads like Switzerland and Norway is still exciting to view. But then you get day like Sunday, where one could watch three games in a row featuring the best players in the world. This, more than anything else, is what the Olympics should be all about. The best at their best on the biggest stage in the world.
