Comments: The 2006 Homer of the Year continues his propensity of lobbing rhetorical questions to his Sunday night guests.


Homer Take of the Year


Paul Allen- Called former Gopher and current Wolves assistant coach J.B. Bickerstaff “a great college basketball player”

Lavelle E. Neal – Predicted Sidney Ponson would be a “big winner” for the Twins with 13-14 wins

Mike Max – Observed “it just sounds different” when Justin Morneau hits a home run

Jeff Dubay - Favorably compared the Twins young pitching staff to the Atlanta Braves of the mid 90's with Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux. 

Greg Coleman – Positively compared Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson to Donavon McNabb at similar stages in careers

Dark Star – Suggested Ron Gardenhire deserved to win the 2007 American League Manager of the Year

Joe Christiansen – Wrote that a reason the Twins got swept by Oakland in the 2006 playoffs was because they only had 48 hours to compose themselves after winning the division.

Jim Peterson- Described the play of former Wolves guard Mike James as giving him “goosebumps”
