Everybody Gets a Piece of the Action

• Ticket prices for the Packer game at the Metrodome on October 3 on re-sale sites have gone through the Dome's roof. Peanut heaven tix in the end zones that were re-selling for $75-90 last week are starting at $189 today. I guess this year I will have to watch on TV.


• It is really interesting to read today's newspapers in the Twin Cities. You would think that a cure for everything from cancer to the world economy to lutefisk overdose has come to Minnesota. Although one columnist did say that the new quarterback for the Vikings looked more like the Unabomber when he arrived at the press conference.


• Even in Milwaukee on the TV station that bills itself as the Packers All the Time station went from the NBC Nightly News to the live press conference in the Twin Cities since it was "Breaking News."


• Around here this all makes the hype over Michael Jackson's death look calm and sensible.
