I am self-aware enough to know that I have go-to subjects that perhaps get a little too much attention in my published writing and podcasts. And even if I lacked this awareness, these subjects would be front-brain thanks to constant reminders from friends, readers and listeners.
There are a few of them who complain every time I write about Aaron Rodgers, though they should be happy because those screeds have been fewer and far between since he left for the Jets (and started to fade into irrelevance).
The Vikings’ continued employment of Kirk Cousins was a fascination for many years, as I argued in vain that paying a Grade B quarterback Grade A money was foolish. Some readers disagreed. Others agreed. Most importantly, the Vikings finally agreed and dumped Kirk earlier this year (and are 8-2 now).
Brewster did not enjoy a successful three-plus seasons as Gophers coach from 2007-10, but he did give us mountains of content and memorable moments. Brewster was perhaps a little ahead of his time with his over-the-top enthusiasm, and his time as coach probably suffered from the inherent cynicism of the early social media era.
