I am VERY impressed that the name of Holy Cross is still so recognized by the good people in the Land of 10,000 Lakes that the Crusader hockey upset of U. Minnesota in the NCAAs is still so painful that it only needs to be alluded to.
Good luck, Peter!

The unedited text of an email I got from a work friend in MN last night:
I’m watching the last 5 minutes of the Vikings’ 4th preseason game and they just put in some dude at QB named Pujals who is probably destined for the taxi squad, at best. The reason I’m telling you this is that the announcer introduced him by saying “those of you who are Gopher hockey fans will probably not be particularly excited about this young man, as he hails from Holy Cross.” Then Pujals was hit and fumbled and the announcer says “well, what can you expect from a Holy Cross quarterback.” Minnesota will never recover from that hockey game.

Used to travel frequently to Minneapolis, Eden Prairie, etc. for business and a lot of good and very nice people in Minnesota. The hockey loss was traumatic for them. But I figured by now they'd be over it.

Some positive Pujals news -- he may have become the first Holy Cross quarterback ever to start and win a fantasy football matchup. Pujals, the third-string QB on my team behind Garoppolo and Mariota, found himself bumped up the depth chart when Jimmy G went down with injury. Rather than simply insert Mariota into the starting slot, I opted to put Peter there just to have him listed in the starting lineup for a few days. I figured I would simply bench him for Mariota on Sunday morning. However, because Pujals was last a member of the Minnesota Vikings, I was unable to make the move due to the fact that, in the eyes of Yahoo Sports, Pujals had "already played" since Minnesota was in the Thursday Night matchup last week. Not to be deterred, my team went on to win by about 15 points, 120-105.
Peter is currently battling it out against Mariota for the starting job on "Winnie The Pujals" this week.

So, this is what they mean when they say "In your dreams?"

Just to be sure, 92, you're not talking about Fantasy Football are you?

Just to be sure, 92, you're not talking about Fantasy Football are you? Depends whether you consider what the Browns play to be real football or not.

Pujals will be playing vs a former teammate in the AAF as McBeath is with Orlando in the league coached by Steve Spurrier.

Dennis Erickson will be the head coach of the Stallions. Is it indoor ? No. They’re playing at the University of Utah's stadium. Same place where the opening and closing ceremonies were held in 2002. They’re on the road for the first two weeks to give it a chance to warm up. First home game not until 2/23.

Think he’ll be a starter? No gimme. Tommy Armstrong (Nebraska), Garrett Grayson (Colorado State) and two other guys also on current roster.
