Wilderness Walk for 10-26-2010

Before I jump in my 2011 Mediocrity and head for Vegas, I figure I better throw a Walk up here for you. OK, no, I'm not really going to Vegas. However, if my throat doesn't stop hurting pretty soon, I wish it was going to Vegas without me.

The Walk today is all from the beat writers. Seems your favorite team doesn't warrant much writing from people outside of Minnesota these days. Who can blame them? When the most exciting thing you team does is draw a major penalty, things are not as exciting as you might think they are.

Don't forget: Facebook Question of the Day.
