Weekly Top 4 "T"s

Tuesday starts with T, you know what else starts with T…

1. The Minnesota Wild are genetic biologists

The Minnesota Wild unveiled their franchise’s first mascot today, and Charles Darwin would be pleased.

Its name… Nordy. So what would the Wild mascot look like in your head? Okay, now add an entirely different animal.

“He looks a little like a bear and a little like a fox, but the team won't say exactly what kind of animal he is. They call him a hybrid of several wild animals.”

Nordy wears the number 18,001 and fittingly sports a mullet and has an “I was really trashed and my friends wrote on my head” green "M" on his forehead.

Hell, e-mail Nordy at nordy@wild.com. Why not?

2. Tennessee Vols’ Running back Arian Foster really loves Land of The Lost

Despite the team’s horrible start, Foster is in demand for media interviews because he is on the verge of becoming UT’s all-time leading rusher. Foster is just 347 yards away from the mark.

Simple enough, now what seems to be the problem?

Arian had a demand: whoever interviewed him had to speak Pterodactyl, some made-up dinosaur language.

No interview was conducted.

3. Trump helps sell Jets’ tickets by playing pretend

4. Too bad Luke Walton can’t attract the right girl

A woman has been charged with stalking Luke Walton of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Stacy Elizabeth Beshear of El Segundo was arrested Sept. 18 after she pulled up to his car and pretended to fire gunshots at him with her hand.

Ladies he is taken anyway. See.


Walton said Beshear has been harassing him since late last year. He said that she would wait for him outside of his home in Manhattan Beach. Beshear went as far as to write on his car with a marker after he refused to sign an autograph.

Who wants a Luke Walton autograph anyway? She is crazy.

Luke did offer this advice to all of those who have been followed by crazy people pushing empty baby strollers outside of their house at all hours of the night.

Run!

“When we were interacting, I could tell by the stuff she was saying that she's not all there in the head -- which makes me feel bad for her.

"At the same time, most people who go on killing sprees are people who aren't all there in the head."

Why doesn't Lebron have this problem?

I really just wanted to use that picture.
