What: It was another challenging week unearthing any blatant provincial takes due to the underachieving nature of the local sports teams. Yes, a broad brush could be stroked at nearly the entire local sports press for failing to ask the most pertinent question surrounding the Fran Foley debacle: Who was most responsible for hiring him?

The first two paragraphs in "Shooter's" Friday column fit the profile of provincialism that could have easily been misidentified for prose from Sid. Defending the Tavaris Jackson draft (by referencing other teams interest) and "home spun" tidbit about Joe Mauer speaking to middle school kids demonstrates subtle homerism.

Bottom Line: Tweet-Tweet
