As I fired up my truck and headed to work early on Monday morning, I abandoned my usual local sports talk radio station and instead tuned into 100.3 KFAN out of the Twin Cities. Being on the outer reaches of their 98,000 watts of power, I’ve been known to listen in once in a while under the premise of the “keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer” mindset.
This idea was just what the doctor ordered for me in a Packer-less January because when my FM dial hit 100.3, a montage of Paul Allen’s misery-filled calls of the NFC Championship Game was played over the terrible “Sounds of Silence” cover.
