Let'sGoHawks! Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 From Grandpa Sid's Thursday column, if anyone cares... "Keith Ballard, the star defenseman who has another year of eligibility with the Gophers men's hockey team, said he hasn't decided if he will return for his senior year. Ballard's NHL rights are held by the Phoenix Coyotes, who haven't made a contract offer. . . . Gophers coaches are convinced forward Thomas Vanek, a first-round draft choice of Buffalo last year, definitely will not return for his junior season." Quote

Maybe he has some information from one of his many sources he always seems to site. Who knows with this bubbling fool. Quote
DLW4GOPHERS Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Sid on a good day does not know what he is talking about. If it happens to be Texas Tech BB with his close friend Bobby I might belive him. When it come to anything to do with Hockey, just ignore him. Quote

When it come to anything to do with Hockey, just ignore him. It really gets tiresome listening/reading Sid and his constant reminders to the listeners/readers about how he is friends with Bobby Knight, how he has lunch with Steinbrenner, how the Minneapolis Lakers were the best team ever to come out of Minneapolis.

Supertrex Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Guys: I got this note from Sid: "Rex, April Fools !!!!". Thought you'd like to know. Quote
Greyeagle Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Guys: I got this note from Sid: "Rex, April Fools !!!!". Thought you'd like to know. This I believe. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 OK, reading what Sid wrote and applying the "Grandpa Sid" factor to the story, that means Ballard's gone and Vanek stays. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted April 2, 2004 Author Posted April 2, 2004 I also get quite a kick out of Sid being everyone's best friend. I don't trust any of his "inside tips". He really needs to retire. His son Chad isn't bad though. Quote
streakygopher Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Chad is okay on T-Wolves BB, but his liberal whining on the Fan is too much to bear...not to mention the voice inflections he uses when he speaks...geez, did someone teach him that or is that how he really talks? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 sids a old dude that will not listen to anyone but himself, not much knowledge when it comes to college hockey... his opinion is the only one in the world!!!!! Quote
JWG Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Please, you can have Sid... and Chad, too -I don't like his KFAN show all that much either. They showed Sid sitting with Yankees Steinbrenner during the Yankees vs. Twins playoff series. Nice to see the hometown guy hanging with the opposition. Just move to NY... Quote

Comon, people sell themselves out to Trump on National television and you're ragging on Sid brownnosing with Steinbrenner? How easily you forget about those two teams. Steinbrenner wants to win so bad he'll buy anyone's mother if it means a world series ring. Pohlad would sell his own mother to make a buck. I don't blame Sid at all for hanging with the guy with the loose wallet. Quote

Even being a Republican/Conservative I don't mind Chad Hartman's radio show, its ok and talks about interesting issues. Quote
Smoggy Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 Even being a Republican/Conservative I don't mind Chad Hartman's radio show, its ok and talks about interesting issues. Sure, but my problem is that it's supposed to be a sports radio station. If I wanted politics and news, I'd listen to every other AM station. Quote
