TPSG Top 10 Movies of 2007

Continuing with my look at the best movies of years gone by.

Top 10 Movies of 2007:
  1. No Country For Old Men - Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem
  2. Superbad - Michael Cera, Jonah Hill
  3. Knocked Up - Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl
  4. The Bourne Ultimatum - Matt Damon, Julia Stiles
  5. There Will Be Blood - Daniel Day Lewis, Paul Dano
  6. Into The Wild - Emile Hirsch, Hal Holbrook
  7. 300 - Gerard Butler, Michael Fassbender
  8. Gone Baby Gone - Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan
  9. American Gangster - Denzell Washington, Russell Crowe
  10. Zodiac - Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr
"No Country For Old Men" may just be the best Cohen Brothers movie.  "Superbad" and "Knocked Up" continued the trend of great Judd Apatow comedies.  All of the Jason Bourne movies have a spot on my lists.  Daniel Day Lewis gave the performance of the year in "There Will Be Blood".  I couldn't stop thinking about "Into The Wild" for days, it was really haunting and the Eddie Vedder soundtrack was a perfect compliment.  "300" with their use of CGI technology has changed movies forever.  The Affleck brothers showed they are a force to reckoned with in "Gone Baby Gone".  I love gangster movies and "American Gangster" didn't disappoint.  "Zodiac" did a great job showing the tracking of the infamous Zodiac killer, Jake Gyllenhaal & Robert Downey Jr were fantastic.

Adam Smith on Inequality

Some interesting quotes from Adam Smith, the father of economics on inequality

“It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion.”


“No society can surely be flourishing and happy of which by far the greater part of the numbers are poor and miserable. ” 


"Our merchants and masters complain much of the bad effects of high wages in raising the price and lessening the sale of goods. They say nothing concerning the bad effects of high profits. They are silent with regard to the pernicious effects of their own gains. They complain only of those of other people.”


"The disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition is the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments."


“No person, I think, ever saw a herd of buffalo, of which a few were fat and the great majority lean."
“The disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition is the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.” - See more at: http://inequality.org/quotes/adam-smith/#sthash.fr3PZxg4.dpuf

Vikings QB in 2014?

With a new head coach now selected, I think that it's a good time to begin pondering (pun intended) who will be the starting QB for the Minnesota Vikings in 2013?  With Norv Turner being hired as Offensive Coordinator, it appears that they will favor more of a vertical passing attack that will push the ball down the field more, that will be a dramatic departure from the west coast offense that they've essentially been running going back to the beginning of the Brad Childress era.  How do the current group of Viking QB's fit into that type of scheme?  The trade/free agent market looks to be a little weak this year but there a few who could help.  The upcoming NFL draft will have as good a crop of QB's as I can recall (there are 4 QB's who could easily go in the top 10 picks, another couple who will go late first/early second round and another 3-4 who could be gone by the end of round 3).  So who will they/should the Vikings be looking at?  Let's take a look:


In House Candidates: 
  1. Christian Ponder - I can't see Christian Ponder being brought back next year, he's had plenty of time to grasp onto that starting QB role and he hasn't been able to do it.  I have also seen very little progression out of him, he has still been making the same mistakes that he made as a rookie.  He also doesn't fit the prototypical Norv Turner type of QB, his arm strength and accuracy down field just isn't there.  I think it would be best for all parties involved if they just go their separate ways at this point.
  2. Josh Freeman - I think that it's safe to say that it was a mistake to bring him in last year.  I hate to judge him on that one game he played for the Vikings on 4 days of practice but it was just so god awful of a performance that it's hard to overlook, his mechanics were horrible and his accuracy was all over the place.  From the sounds of it, his work ethic left a lot to be desired too.  I don't see him back.  
  3. Matt Cassel - if the Vikings bring back a QB, I think it will be Matt Cassel.  When given the chance to play last year, he did struggle some, but he also looked okay for the most part.  He's also a pretty good fit with Norv Turner in that he does have the ability to drive the ball downfield.  If the Vikings do stick with Cassel next year, I'm guessing that it wouldn't be a long term thing though, I'm guessing it would be accompanied by the drafting of a QB and I could live with that.  
  4. Joe Webb - I'm going to include Webb for one reason, not that I think he'll be the Vikings starting QB, but just because of Norv Turners use of MarQueis Gray in the Wildcat formation last year with the Cleveland Browns.  Webb would be perfect in that role for the Vikings, with his versatility he can also help at WR, Special Teams and as the emergency QB.  That type of versatility can give the Vikings all sorts of flexibility with their roster, I think they will find a place for him.
Trade/Free Agent Candidates:
  1. Michael Vick - with the Eagle's seemingly committed to Nick Foles at QB, where does that leave Michael Vick?  I'd guess that he's making way too much money for them to bring back in a back up role.  He's still an incredibly gifted athlete and he's got the arm strength to play in a Norv Turner offense.  I don't think this will happen but I could live with it if it did.  
  2. Ryan Mallett - IMO, Mallett has all the tools to perfectly fit into a Norv Turner offense, he's big, he's got a cannon of an arm, he's got experience working with Bill Belicheck & Tom Brady, he's still got his best years ahead of him, he's just needing a chance at this point.  Tom Brady's still got a couple of years in him too, I can't help but think that the Patriots would love to get a high draft pick in exchange for him while his value is high.  
  3. Matt Schaub -  his time in Houston appears to be over.  He's got plenty of experience.  He was absolutely miserable last year though.  I would hope that the Vikings take a pass on Schaub.
  4. Kirk Cousins - he played well in 2012 and his value was sky high, but when he got the chance to play again last year he struggled.  He's still got some nice tools and the asking price for him has probably dropped considerably.  If the Vikings could get him for a late round draft pick they may consider it.  
  5. Charlie Whitehurst - he's another unrestricted free agent, he also played for Norv Turner in San Diego, so he could come in with a good grasp of the system already.  He's never really done much to distinguish himself but given the Turner ties, he's an interesting name to keep an eye on. 
  6. Josh McCown -  he actually played really good for the Bears last year when Jay Cutler went down. He's been hinting at possible retirement though.  He may be a good stop gap type QB if the Vikings can't keep Cassel and they need a veteran QB.  It's an interesting thought. 
Draft Candidates:
  1.  Teddy Bridgewater - Louisville - he seems to be the consensus top QB in the upcoming draft, he's very accurate, he's poised in the pocket, he's got a quick release, he can make all of the throws, he's also pretty athletic, he can keep drives going with his feet when needed and he's pretty good at throwing on the move.  If he were to drop to the Vikings at number 8, I'm pretty sure that he'd be a Viking.  
  2.  Derek Carr - Fresno State - Carr has moved up to number 2 on my list of QB's in the upcoming draft.  He probably has the best arm of all of the draftable quarterbacks, he can make all of the throws, he's got great velocity, he can drive the ball down the field, I think that he'd be a great fit in a Norv Turner offense.  He had a great Senior Bowl week too, I have to believe that his value will skyrocket.  He's got some critics though, most centering around his performance against USC in the recent Las Vegas Bowl when he struggled against a higher level of competition and the other quite frankly having to do with the lack of success that his brother David Carr had in the NFL.  Personally, I think he'd be worth the gamble for the Vikings at number 8.  
  3. Johnny Manziel - Texas A&M - tool wise, I don't think that Manziel stacks up with most of the top QB's in the upcoming draft.  He's got that "IT" factor though, he just wins, he's the ultimate competitor, he's a great leader, he's exciting, he'd put people in the seats.  That may sound a little bit like a Tim Tebow comparison but that would be unfair because Manziel has some decent QB skills too.  My comp would be Fran Tarkenton, tremendous scrambler, great at buying time, very good vision down field, ability to hurt you with his feet as well as his arm.  Wherever he winds up in the NFL, I can't wait to watch him play.  
  4. Blake Bortles - Central Florida - Bortles really put himself on the map as a senior.  He's a big guy, he's got a strong arm, he's a good athlete, he's got a good pocket presence, he can throw on the move, he can also move the chains with his feet (Colin Kaepernick?).  His mechanics do need some work though and there are questions about his accuracy on the deep ball.  Those one year wonders also scare me some.  I'm torn on this one, there's a lot to like, I'm just not sure if he'd be a good fit in the system that Norv Turner will be bringing with him to Minnesota.  
  5. Zach Mettenberg - LSU -  he's a big, strong armed QB who can drive the ball down the field.  He played, and thrived in the best conference in college football.  He does have some injury concerns.  I don't see him going in the first round but I'm guessing he does go somewhere in round 2 of the draft. If all the QB's they like are gone in the first round, or they decided to trade down, I could see the Vikings drafting Mettenberg and grooming him to be their QB. 
  6. Jimmy Garoppolo - Eastern Illinois - Tony Romo II?  He comes from the same school and he's also got the same quick release as Romo. He had a great Senior Bowl week and seems to have opened a lot of eyes, he may be a better fit in a west coast offense though. He's an intriguing prospect.
My educated guess?  I'm guessing that Ponder and Freeman are gone.  I'm guessing that Matt Cassel comes back and goes into training camp as the starting QB.  I'm also guessing that the Vikings draft a QB in either round 1 or 2 of the 2014 NFL Draft who they will groom to be the long term answer at QB (Derek Carr?).  I also see Joe Webb sticking around as a WR/QB/Special Teams hybrid.

TPSG Top 10 Movies of 2008

Continuing with my look at the best movies of years gone by.

Top 10 Movies of 2008:
  1. The Dark Knight - Christian Bale, Heath Ledger
  2. Slum Dog Millionaire - Dev Patel, Freida Pinto
  3. Iron Man - Robert Downey Jr, Jeff Bridges
  4. The Wrestler - Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei
  5. Gran Torino - Clint Eastwood, Bee Vang
  6. The Bank Job - Jason Statham, Saffron Burrows
  7. In Bruges - Colin Farrell, Brendon Gleeson
  8. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett
  9. Burn After Reading - George Clooney, Frances McDormand
  10. Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Jason Segel, Kristen Bell
In my opinion, "The Dark Knight Rises" was easily the best movie of 2008.  Heath Ledger's Joker will go down in the history of film as one of the all time great villains.  "Slum Dog Millionaire" is an extraordinary piece of filmmaking by Danny Boyle.  "Iron Man" brought Tony Stark to film in an incredibly fast paced, fun ride. Mickey Rourke's performance in "The Wrestler" was the performance of the year.  Clint Eastwood delivered once again as a bigoted Korean war veteran who eventually warms up to his new Hmong neighbors in "Gran Torino".  "The Bank Job" is probably the best work from Jason Statham.  "In Bruges" starts slowly but it really builds to an outstanding finish.  The aging effects of Brad Pitt in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" alone make this one worth watching, it's pretty remarkable.  "Burn After Reading" is yet another top notch movie by the Coen brothers.  "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" IMO was the funniest movie of the 2008.

TPSG Top 10 Movies of 2009

I've been posting Top 10 Movies lists since 2010 but since I didn't start my blog until 2010 I haven't had the opportunity to post my lists for the years prior to 2010.  I thought that it might be fun to do so, so here goes, starting with 2009:

TPSG Top 10 Movies of 2009:
  1. The Hangover - Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zack Galifianakis
  2. The Hurt Locker - Jeremy Renner
  3. Inglorious Basterds - Christoph Waltz, Brad Pitt 
  4. Avatar - Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana
  5. District 9 - Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope
  6. Sin Nombre - Edgar Flores, Paulina Gaitán
  7. Up in the Air - George Clooney, Anna Kendrick
  8. Star Trek - Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto 
  9. Crazy Heart - Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal
  10. The Blind Side - Sandra Bullock
2009 was a great year for the movies.  "The Hangover" is one of the funniest movies ever, it had to be on top of my list.  "The Hurt Locker" was edge of your seat tense.  Quentin Tarantino hit another home run with "Inglorious Basterds".  Christoph Waltz's Oscar in that film was well deserved.  James Cameron's filmmaking in "Avatar" was groundbreaking.  "District 9" was another bit of revolutionary filmmaking for it's use of Red One digital cameras.  "Sin Nombre" was a terrifying look at the Central American street gang culture.  "Up in the Air" is a film that perfectly tells the story of the economic impact of the greatest recession of our times.  "Star Trek" was a great re-telling of the Star Trek franchise by J.J. Abrams, it was fast paced and action packed from start to finish.  Jeff Bridges was fantastic in "Crazy Heart" and who doesn't love a great football movie (i.e. "The Blind Side").

Theodore Roosevelt

Wise man that Teddy Roosevelt: 

". . . . . our government, national and state, must be freed from the sinister influence or control of special interests. Exactly as the special interests of cotton and slavery threatened our political integrity before the Civil War, so now the great special business interests too often control and corrupt the men and methods of government for their own profit. We must drive the special interests out of politics. That is one of our tasks to-day. Every special interest is entitled to justice — full, fair, and complete — and, now, mind you, if there were any attempt by mob-violence to plunder and work harm to the special interest, whatever it may be, that I most dislike, and the wealthy man, whomsoever he may be, for whom I have the greatest contempt, I would fight for him, and you would if you were worth your salt. He should have justice. For every special interest is entitled to justice, but not one is entitled to a vote in Congress, to a voice on the bench, or to representation in any public office. The Constitution guarantees protection to property, and we must make that promise good. But it does not give the right of suffrage to any corporation.

The true friend of property, the true conservative, is he who insists that property shall be the servant and not the master of the commonwealth; who insists that the creature of man’s making shall be the servant and not the master of the man who made it. The citizens of the United States must effectively control the mighty commercial forces which they have called into being.

There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains. To put an end to it will be neither a short nor an easy task, but it can be done."

". . . . .  No man should receive a dollar unless that dollar has been fairly earned. Every dollar received should represent a dollar’s worth of service rendered — not gambling in stocks, but service rendered. The really big fortune, the swollen fortune, by the mere fact of its size acquires qualities which differentiate it in kind as well as in degree from what is possessed by men of relatively small means. Therefore, I believe in a graduated income tax on big fortunes, and in another tax which is far more easily collected and far more effective — a graduated inheritance tax on big fortunes, properly safeguarded against evasion, and increasing rapidly in amount with the size of the estate."

Vikings Hire Mike Zimmer

I know, old news, but I just wanted to voice my opinion on the Vikings Mike Zimmer hire.  I love it!  Zimmer is the guy that I have wanted the Vikings to hire ever since they fired Leslie Frazier.  I didn't want a retread coach or the some hot new flavor of the day, I wanted someone who had earned it, someone who lives for football, someone with a track record of success, someone who commands the locker room, someone well respected by everyone from players, to former players, to fans, to fellow coaches.  Mike Zimmer has all of those attributes and more, he was long overdue for a head coaching opportunity and I am so glad that it's the Vikings who are the ones who are giving him that opportunity. 

The hiring of Norv Turner as the Viking's Offensive Coordinator only strengthens my opinion of the Zimmer hire.  I've wanted the Vikes to blow things up for awhile now, they seem to have been a really bland, predictable team on both sides of the ball going all the way back to the Brad Childress era.  That really needed to change, what better way to to that then to bring in a coaching staff that will play an aggressive, attacking defense and bringing in an offensive coach who preaches a vertical passing attack that stretches the field (as opposed to the dink and dunk approach of Childress/Frazier)?

Does any of this sound familiar?  To me, it's sounding a lot like what the Arizona Cardinals did last year.  Bruce Arians was a well respected, long time assistant who was long overdue for a head coaching job when the Cardinals hired him.  Like Zimmer, he's also a tough, no-nonsense guy who is not afraid to tell it like it is.  The Cardinals also brought in a vertical passing attack and an aggressive attacking defense.  They won 10 games last year.  I'd be thrilled if the Vikings end results are similar.   

Well done Rick Spielman!

Viking Coaching Candidates

Just as I had predicted, the Vikings fired Leslie Frazier.  I know it's old news by now but I wanted to give my thoughts on the firing and some of the names that I've been hearing rumored as getting interviewed.

First, as to the firing, I do think that it was warranted, I was just not seeing enough progress over Frazier's time with the Vikings to justify giving him more time.  There were plenty of negatives to point towards too.  He brought in 2 coordinators who seemed over-matched nearly every game, his inability to develop a QB was frustrating, he clock management abilities were questionable at best, his clinging to a defensive system that has seen it's better days was maddening and this past year at least there appeared to be a lack of discipline off and off the field.  Don't get wrong here, Leslie Frazier is a good, decent man, I wish him nothing but the best, but it just wasn't working out with the Vikings and I thought he needed to go.

I really don't know what direction that I want the Vikings to go with Frazier's replacement, you could make a strong case for an offensive minded guy or a defensive minded guy.  I'd prefer they completely blow things up and bring in a fresh approach (maybe a 3-4 defense), they really need to cut ties with the Brad Childress way of doing things (lest we forget, Leslie Frazier came from the Childress coaching tree).  I'm not big on the retread coaches or college coaches either, I think they can find someone from the ranks of current assistant coaches currently in the league.  Hopefully, it's someone who can command the locker room, someone with a track record of success, someone who who is well respected around the league. 

As to the names that I've been seeing thrown around, here's my thoughts on a few:
