- Great brunchBFielderDined on 11/9/2014Three of us went after church last week for brunch. Food was great and all staff were wonderful with the exception of our waiter who did seem to be a little disinterested in our table. We had to flag him down several times for coffee refills, food items and even our check. But we had all morning and were not in a rush so it was not an issue for us. Their small plate idea for brunch is perfect. There is no standing in line spooning thru the same old warmed over eggs and bacon. There is an omelet station and other items are prepared fresh. We would definitely return again, soon. Can't wait to come back for "Wine Wednesdays."Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service was poorOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/9/2014I don't know where to begin. It appeared the wait staff was not sure who was supposed to have us. we had two come up to us and introduce themselves. then once it was a specific one, he was never there when we needed him and then when he did appear he was inconsiderate - tilted my plate to have the silver ware fall off so he could take my plate. Additionally, we were trying to put our coats on and the second water decided to clear our table at that time thus making us wait until he had stacked all of the dishes on the table.Special Features:
- Great for leisure lunchlewiDined on 11/8/2014My friends and I talked for a long time. No one tried to rush us, as they were not very busy in the middle of the day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/2/2014Best brunch spot in the city. Great for a big group or just two. Just make sure to make a reservation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KevinKevinDined on 10/31/2014Ideal setting, great food always a pleasure-for dining.Special Features:
- fish fry milwaukeeFood2LoverDined on 10/31/2014Retro atmosphere and art deco look was great. Hostess was friendly as usual. Overall food was a nice change from the typical fish fry. First order of fish excellent, second piece dry. They offer a different twist on the fish options. We will be back.Special Features:
- foodloverVIPDined on 10/18/2014presentation was great -- food very tasty. Not sure about the "supper club" theme -- doesn't seem to fit, but then I'm used the the supper clubs "UP NORTH" :) Miss the pumpkin cheesecake and the 2 for $40 menu.Special Features:
- Good food, very slow servicespudsDined on 10/18/2014The ambience is really cool, like stepping back 90 years. While the food was good, the service was really slow and somewhat inept. Our server was slow to take our order and after waiting, we finally asked about our salads. We were told that the change we made to the salad order was holding it up. We had made no change, so clearly the order was placed incorrectly and had to be fixed. The main course also took a long time. A side sauce that was requested in the initial order was not delivered and when we asked for it, it did not arrive until we were finished eating. We ended up rushing through the main course because we had show tickets. We arrived on time for our reservation and had allowed >1-1/4 hours for dinner, but that was not enough.I would recommend this to a friend.
- StefDined on 10/18/2014This restaurant is located inside the Ambassador hotel. It use to be a run down late hotel in the 1990's. Wow it is fabulous now !! Renovations were done in the 2000's. Food and Service was great and most of all the ambiance is fantastic. Envoy is geat. The hotel is beatiful bringing back the orignal 1920's Art Deco style the dining experience is elegant it takes you back into that era. Had a great experience dining there and plan on definitely going back thank you Envoy !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Envoy DiningGeriDined on 10/10/2014The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the service, food are excellent...I'm glad I found this place I go at least 4 times a year....Special Features:
- Envoy the hidden gemrlloyd1951Dined on 10/10/2014The food and atmosphere are carefully set and service is paid to every detail You will not be disappointedSpecial Features:
- Not so hotHeyblueocDined on 10/3/2014Completely understaffed....long waits for drinks, food, etc. had the fish fry...no consistency in the frying of the fish.....my first three pieces that came with my order were super small....my next two pieces were larger, but we pre both burnt...took 10 to 15 minutes to get a refill on fish....fries were ice cold....restaurant would also not accept coupon they emailed me
- The Envoy for lunchBillyoDined on 10/1/2014We have tickets for two theater groups with afternoon performances, and ALWAYS make lunch reservations at the Envoy for those days. No matter what the soup that day, it is always excellent. A lighter lunch works great before theater too, as I am not inclined to doze off from too much food. (Ever had that happen to you after too big a meal?) We love the Ambassador and Milwaukee is so fortunate that it was 'saved' and remodeled back to its glory days. Thanks to the owners for this great favor to us all!Special Features:
- Irish59Dined on 9/21/2014Once again Envoy met every expectation. The food was superb. You cannot beat the décor. Our guest loved it so much that she is taking her out-of-town guests there this Sunday.Special Features:
- Very Good Prime RibScooperDined on 9/20/2014Once again, we enjoyed dining at the Envoy. The service was attentive & friendly. The prime rib was very well prepared, one of the better prime ribs I have had in a while.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An impulse decisiondontwakethebearDined on 9/12/2014We had about a 50 minute drive into MKE on a Fri night and Open Table had multiple seating times available for Envoy. We checked in w/hostess about 20 minutes early (noting the dining room was more than half empty). Hostess did not offer to seat us; asked us to wait in the (SRO) bar area. Hostess did not let us know when table was ready, rather we had to go back and inquire how much longer the wait was going to be. The Bar would not let us txfr our drink charges to the table, so we had to check out before we moved into the dining room. The dining room was lovely and the food was outstanding. Our servers were professional in demeanor but it was evident they were short staffed and overwhelmed. We'll definitely go back, but not soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good but could be bettereagl3sVIPDined on 9/11/2014when I ordered chicken milanese, I did not think I was getting a 'wing' with bone-in....disappointed at size of this entree.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Art Deco gemDarla418Dined on 9/10/2014Not our 1st visit and won't be our last. Only blemish on the meals was that my husband's truffle mashed potatoes were cold. However that was offset b the 2 thick pork chops he had that he said were great. I had Cajun seared scallops with fingerling potatoes and everything was perfect - Cajun seasoning did not overwhelm the mild scallop flavor. Have been to Envoy many times & will go back again as they always have unique items on the menu.Special Features:
- Great BrunchgreateatsDined on 8/17/2014Delicious food and a diverse menu in a lovely Art Deco setting. It's all you can eat but you don't have to stand in a buffet line - they bring the food to you. The service is great too.Special Features:
- Very EnjoyableCRAWDined on 8/16/2014We always enjoy dinner at the Envoy. Wonderful architecture, atmosphere is unique and wonderful, and the meal seldom disappoints. (The bar for a light meal is an enjoyable alternative also.) Perhaps it is not one of the "hot spots" of downtown Milwaukee, but it is a GREAT alternative......one of our favorites.Special Features:
- Both food and ambiance are a treat!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/16/2014Envoy is the lovely restaurant in the art-deco Ambassador hotel: pretty pink linen tablecloths, flowers at every table and art deco details throughout. Be sure to use the complimentary parking in the private and protected hotel lot as the neighborhood is a bit uneven. Our lunch was delicious -- seared sesame tuna salad and a hearty Milwaukee cheese steak sandwich. The service was excellent, helping us select our order and offering to tailor our order for our tastes. One of our favorite dining experiences while on a 10-day vacation in Wisconsin.Special Features:
- lanaDined on 8/14/2014This is my sixth time at Envoy in the past year. Love the place. Have been their for dinner, but mostly lunch. Outstanding service and a great menu to choose from in every category. Worth the time to enjoy a great meal. Talked about trying their Bruch, heard it was outstanding also. You will not be disappointed in thie neighborhood gem. LanaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Brunch in TowndschupDined on 8/10/2014The food was outstanding. The entire table agreed...best brunch in town. We will be back!Special Features:
- MUSODMUSODDined on 8/8/2014As always, the Envoy provides us with an excellent choice of fine foods, we have never had an menu item that did not please the diner! Excellent service by the staff who are very attentive without being obtrusive. We look forward to the changes of the menu and the enjoyment of new foods!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday BrunchaverageguysthoughtsDined on 8/3/2014Recently celebrated my wife's birthday with Brunch at the Envoy. It was our first time. The food was very good, and the price is reasonable. The small plates give you an opportunity to try several different things. We would definitely go back there for brunch again in the future.Special Features:
- The following 367 reviews are from the Envoy reviews archive.
- Great experience!waxstaxDined on 7/21/2014During our very enjoyable stay at the Ambassador, we took in dinner at Envoy, and were pleasantly surprised. A wide variety of menu items included several salad and appetizer choices, and many specialty entrees. It was immediately obvious that the "fresh and local" claim was adhered to, as everything we were served seemed freshly picked and prepared. Wedge salad was INCREDIBLE, cream of mushroom soup OUTSTANDING and not over-salted as it so often is. Steaks prepared and cooked PERFECTLY, no over-seasoning here, either. Breakfast the next morning was also a treat, with eggs benedict over crab cakes that were DIVINE! VERY courteous and knowledgeable staff served us in timely manner. HIGHLY recommended! We'll be back!Special Features:
- Business LunchRandyDined on 7/11/2014Great service and free off street parking just a couple of blocks from Downtown Milwaukee. Great for business lunches and more. I was running late and my guest were comfortably provider for in my tardiness.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific for traditional foodOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 7/4/2014We had a great dinner at Envoy. My expererience has been that there are two types of "foodies". One likes classic dishes prepared well without surprises. The second likes innovation and unusual combinations - tasting menu types. I fall into the first type and so does Envoy. Our party had fish, meat, and duck and all were excellent. The restaurant is in a neat Art Deco hotel and looks great. Check out the lobby before or after you eat. The noise level was low for us because there were not many diners at the time, but I can see it getting a bit noisy if the room is full becasuse of the hard floor and other surfaces. All in all, the four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would (will) go back anytime we are in Milwaukeee.Special Features:
- special eventOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/21/2014I've been to Envoy four times now and really love it. It's my new "go to" place.Special Features:
- Best brunch in town!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/15/2014We have had brunch here several times and each time have left saying "It is the best brunch in town"!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/6/2014If you are looking for great food, a charming setting in a restored historic hotel, and an environment that you can easily hear conversations then you should definitely go to Envoy. The food was great, the service was outstanding ( thanks Jae!) and since we were going to an event at the BMO the shuttle was brilliant. A great overall experience!Special Features:
- love it!foodloverVIPDined on 5/17/2014Love the art deco style and how they have kept the chandeliers and tile ssnd glass. The food is wonderful and the 2 for 40 is an awesome value. Nice wine choices too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Going Back in TimeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/17/2014Entering the bar is a step back in time - beautifully restored 1940s vibe. Single best cosmo I have ever tasted and the bartender made my son a sidecar without blinking an eye. Restaurant is equally beautiful. We would not hesitate to go back for date night or a special event. Food was top notch - even foodies would fine the menu interesting.Special Features:
- Great Food, Service OKDeeCathrynDined on 5/11/2014We came here for Mother's Day Brunch and were pleasantly surprised at the options. I am a vegetarian that doesn't eat eggs so brunch can be hard for me. They had a full buffet including waffles, pancakes, fruit, sausage, omelettes made to order, salmon, shrimp, carving stations and desert table. In addition, they had a shortened menu of their typical small plate brunch that you could order was included in the cost of the buffet. The endless coffee, tea, juice and champagne was also a plus. We had a very nice waiter who was relatively attentive. At times he seemed annoyed that we were ordering more which was kind of awkward. The way the tables were set up with the buffet it was hard to get around, but worth the delicious food.Special Features:
- Quaint neighborhood gemlisak7001Dined on 5/11/2014This is our third year coming here for Mothers Day brunch. We love the buffet, the small plates and the unlimited champagne/ mimosas. It's all very well run and the food is always very good and priced rightSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BrunchScooperDined on 5/11/2014We went for Mother's Day Brunch. My wife & I have eaten dinner there a few times, they have not disappointed. The brunch was very good. The selection of food was a lot more than I would have expected and it was all excellent. We would do it again.Special Features:
- Great food!RooshieVIPDined on 5/3/2014Had the salmon dish and it was excellent! Roasted fingerling potatoes were awesome.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Brunch in MilwaukeeMissTDined on 4/27/2014The small plates give you the opportunity to try many dishes in one visit. This was my second time at Envoy for brunch and everything I had was amazingly delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Special PlaceREDHEADDined on 4/27/2014The Envoy is one of those gems you read about in restaurant guides. The moment you walk into the hotel you are taken back in time to a place where service is number 1. The atmosphere reminds me of a movie set in the 1940s. I expect to see Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall sitting at the bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not for vegetariansKinseyDined on 4/26/201450% of our diners were vegetarians. For those not, the menu was very satisfactory. The pork chops were rated great, though why you would serve 2 of those giants is a mystery when one would satisfy most appetites. The seafood meal was also rated great. But alas, it seems you have no kind thoughts for those who don't eat meat of any kind. Vegetarians are not a tiny fraction of weird folks protesting against something. They are normal folks who should be catered to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

NFL Playoff Tickets
The NFL closed out its regular season with a thrilling game Sunday night with the Philadelphia Eagles clinching the last remaining division title with a thrilling win in Dallas, setting the table for the NFL Playoffs.
The Kansas City Chiefs will take their 11-5 record to Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday Jan. 4 to face off against the AFC South Division Champion Indianapolis Colts (11-5) at 4:35PM ET. The Colts beat Kansas City just two weeks ago at Arrowhead Stadium 23-7. This match-up also features two former overall number one draft picks Alex Smith and Andrew Luck going head to head for the right to move on.
Two high-powered offenses will be on display in Saturday evenings game with the Wild Card New Orleans Saints (11-5) playing the NFC East Division Champs the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field at 8:10ET. Drew Brees and the Saints will have to battle the elements as well as Chip Kelly's 'run and gun' Oregon attack in order to continue onward in this year's NFL Playoffs.
Sunday's action begins with a 1:05ET kickoff featuring the improbable Wild Card winners the San Diego Chargers (9-7) visiting the AFC North Champion Cincinnati Bengals (11-5) at Paul Brown Stadium. San Diego needed a lot of help to advance to the Wild Card round and they got it. The Chargers will be looking to avenge a 17-10 home loss to the Bengals on December 1.
The final game of Wild Card weekend has the San Francisco 49'rs (12-4) traveling to legendary Lambeau Field to take on the NFC North Champion Green Bay Packers (8-7). San Francisco beat Green Bay in the first game of the season 34-28 and also knocked them out of last season's NFL Playoffs.
The AFC West Champion Denver Broncos, the AFC East Champion New England Patriots, the NFC West Champion Seattle Seahawks, and the NFC South Champion Carolina Panthers earned a bye week and await the winners of this weekend's games.

Complaining: Oscar Bait get usage counts
Destruction!!!!!A lot of the examples listed come off as complaining and hype backlash. There's not even a YMMV tag listed up. Any way we can fix this?
We could make this objective. Define Oscar Bait as movies that use tropes X, Y and Z and list movies that use many of those tropes.

Actual Oscar Bait and Oscar Bait Spoof (though with less confusingly-similar titles).
she her hers
Isn't the whole point that these are painfully obvious? How do we take the complaining out of something that is itself a complaint?
Oscar Bait, or at least most, are generally cranked out as an attempt to win as many awards as possible by hitting all the "right" dramatic buttons. If the text gets a bit cynical or snarky at points, that seems justified to me. It just needs to not extend into whining about how X is Oscar Bait and thus is terrible, or Y is a soulless sellout and other such nonsense. Basically, we should keep the snark and sarcasm at affable levels and cut it where it delves into fanboy rage. Otherwise, seems fine.
edited 11th Jun '12 5:36:34 PM by LostHero
I think Oscar Bait at least partially explains the existence of award snubs. In the perfect world, the best movies will get all of the awards (rightly I add). Except, Oscar Bait movies cause award snubs and some angry fans (Boo indeed) and some movies are interpreted for the awards they did/didn't win. Vindicated by History might happen, but patience is lacking and might be And You Thought It Would Fail, Deader Than Disco, or Acclaimed Flop instead. Also, description is a Wall of Text and nothing has yet come out of this.

ReymmãThe obvious criteria to apply here would be to list films that are outside the norm for an actor (especially a comedic one making a dark and serious film) or jarring elements in single films (the ending more than anything) that were most likely made to aim for the Oscars. However, the wiki has difficulty keeping up careful norms; Adaptation Decay was intended to be about things lost in adaptation due to medium differences, but soon came to be used for any bad adaptation. One statement I'm not sure about is

Good 'til the last dropI'm not sure if this is me overreacting or something, but I'm all in favor of just curating this to only include In-universe examples. Many of the actual examples just reek of having a Holier Than Thou attitude and its to much of a Snark Bait magnet, even if we do a cleanup.
"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave".
I'd really rather not cut examples, as that's usually a last resort. It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Just cut the stuff that makes the brass uncomfortable. The rest isn't that bad.

Rockville, MD—The U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) has announced some additions to the latest version of its Food Chemicals Codex (FCC).
News and notes from industry suppliers.
University Park, PA—The fruit of an avocado may be green, but its seed may be helpful as a totally different natural coloring agent.
Hoboken, NJ—Nearly every student has dreamed of taking a pill that would help him or her get through exams a little easier. While there's no substitute for hitting the books, a study has found a link between taking a branded supplement ingredient (Pycnogenol, distributed by Horphag Research) and improved test scores. Cognitive enhancers, says the research team, could benefit numerous individuals from the elderly to military personnel.
Carthage, MO—Much research points to the benefits of natural eggshell membrane (NEM from ESM Technologies) for joint health. Now, the Journal of Medicinal Food has published the results of an in vitro study on a mechanism of action for why.
Norway—Those living with ulcerative colitis (i.e., inflammation and sores in the gastrointestinal tract) often have no other choice but to take "hard-core" medications to control their condition like steroids, immunosuppressants and even chemotherapeutics. Many would love a more natural way to control the inflammation. A small animal study conducted by researchers from the University of Bergen, Norway, may offer a new prospect for this purpose.
In July, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made public a proposed guidance for new dietary ingredients (NDIs) that are included in supplements. Though the document is aimed at finished product manufacturers, it could have a profound affect on raw materials suppliers.
The mark of a first-rate contract manufacturer is a unique flexibility in fulfilling client needs. Beyond the basic capability to churn out products from an assembly line, true manufacturing partners are well-positioned to make a product run work for you.
With all of the effort and investment that goes into developing a product, it may be easy to become excited at the end of the process and say, "Let's throw it on the shelf, already!" But for any product or product line, from dietary supplements to cosmetics, manufacturers would do well not to overlook the crucial last step in bringing something to market: designing the product's home, its packaging.

NAPLES, Fla. - The fire chief is sending out an S.O.S to the city and residents for more man power. It's an issue he's been trying to address for more than 4 years.
Chief Stephen McInerny wants to add 6 firefighters to his 14 man crew. On Monday, he had to call in additional help, from North and East Naples Fire and Rescue District, to battle a high rise fire.
Chief Mcinerny says "we've had fires in the past, we're going to have fires in the future I just can't tell you when and where that's going to break out."
But there is one thing he's sure of, "we have high risk properties, not unlike any major city in the state of Florida but we're a compact smaller area nontheless we have very hazardous type occupancies."
Those include hospitals, nursing homes, some of the largest homes in the country, and high rises. Chief McInerny says fighting high rise fires is labor intensive.
Fortunately on Monday morning that wasn't the case at the Le Parc Condos on Gulfshore Boulevard. Dozens of people evacuated after a plumber working on pipes accidentally sparked a fire.
No one was hurt, but it did cause $100,000 in damage.
In any case, the chief says they don't have enough man power to provide the city with the level of service needed. He says, "can we call mutual aid absolutely, do we use mutual aid absolutely, but do you want to wait 25 minutes to get additional help or do you think we should have that help immediately available."
One resident we talked to agrees. Bill Wiehl says "especially for some of those high rises theres a lot of people in those high rises they need to make sure the sprinklers are up to snuff and the fire supressions there are up to date."
There are 37 high rises in Naples, 15 have no or partial sprinkler systems.
The chief thinks it will cost at least half a million dollars a year to bring in more firefighters.
He will plead his case to city council on March 17.

Colin Kaepernick Picking Up Steam Among PrognosticatorsPosted by on April 12, 2011 – 1:01 pm
The names bandied about most frequently with respect to the Vikings and this year's NFL draft are Jake Locker and Ryan Mallett. As is the case with most draft prospects, both of those guys have a few question marks to go along with their many strengths.
And with respect to the general consensus among NFL draft prognosticators, Cam Newton and Blaine Gabbert will be the first off the board, with Locker and Mallett representing "next best" status. But lately I've noticed another name that's garnered lots of attention – University of Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick.
Three teams in the AFC South – Indianapolis, Jacksonville and Tennessee – have spent time privately with Kaepernick and the website ProFootballTalk.com spoke with a source that gave a flattering review of the athletic, strong-armed QB.
"I'm hearing that the Titans at (pick #) 39 could be the pick [for Kaepernick]," PFT quotes its source as saying. "Unless a team grabs him prior to that. And the possibility of a team trading into the second half of the first round for Kaepernick is very real."
There are several more interesting tidbits from the PFT item on Kaepernick, including the source expecting Kaepernick to be drafted before Mallet, a belief that Kaepernick's stock is on the rise, ex-NFL scout Dave Razzano hearing that Kaepernick is inching into the 1st round on some boards and NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock comparing Kaepernick to Tim Tebow, but adding that Kaepernick is "probably a better athlete…with a rifle for an arm."
The item from PFT is interesting and is worth a read, especially if you're a big Kaepernick fan.
Aside from a bevy of DE names and then the QB speculation of Locker and Mallett, another possibility tied to the Vikings is that of a trade, specifically a trade back into the later stages of the 1st round (which would also lead to the acquisition of more draft selections in either/both the 2nd and 3rd rounds).
So with all of that said, how do Vikings fans feel about Kaepernick? We're not suggesting the team has interest in him, but the rise of Kaepernick is worth pointing out and it's always fun to hear what you have to say about certain prospects. Let us know what you think by posting a comment in the comments section below this entry.
For what it's worth, here's what I said of Kaepernick in the vikings.com QB Collection: Teams looking for a QB that A) spent 4 seasons in college, B) won a lot of games and C) possess a combination of pocket-passing presence and mobility will have to take a serious look at Kaepernick. He played for the University of Nevada, a program that has operated in the shadow of Boise State, but that shouldn't dilute any of his accomplishments. Kaepernick is the first player in NCAA history to record 3 straight 2,000-yard passing/1,000-yard rushing seasons and he did it while elevating the profile of an entire football program at Nevada. Kaepernick's signature win was over Boise State this past season, a win that his head coach proclaimed was "the most important win in program history." A few more statistical tidbits on Kaepernick:
— Joined Cam Newton and Tim Tebow as the only QBs in FBS history to throw for 20 TDs and run for 20 TDs in the same season.
— Finished tied with former Nebraska QB and Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch for most rushing TD's in NCAA history by a QB with 59.
— Stands as the only QB in the history of Division I college football to have passed for over 10,000 yards and rushed for over 4,000 yards in a career.

Kappy is better than Newton and Tebow. If a good Qb coach gets their hands on him he could turn out to be great.
By K'net on Apr 12, 2011 | Reply
The guy is a winner, like you said he played all four years (starting most of the time, I believe), and he is showing a lot of desire, drive and commitment to become and nfl QB that IMHO means that his desire to learn, play, and win could make him a great prospect. He's dedicated, mobile, has a good arm, is athletic, a *leader*, and a *winner*. I really wonder why we haven't heard anything about our organization having him workout, or talking with him, or anything. Colin and Joe are both athletic, eager to learn, mobile, and potentially good team leaders, I'd really like to see them compete for the starting job on our team.
By Parody on Apr 12, 2011 | Reply
Forgive me for asking, but what is with all the hype on scrambling QBs these days? Is it a new development in the NFL where scramblers are becomming more successful? Or is it just a fad? Or have I simply not seen all the successful scramblers in the history of the NFL?
I know a few names that have been successful, but it seems to me that the best QBs are almost always the ones who know how to make things happen from inside the pocket.
By allan on Apr 12, 2011 | Reply
Why not trade down and take Kappy? Add a one or two more draft picks that could be used on a DB, OL, DL, LB.
The rewards would be great as there are many needs the Vikes need to fill.
By Carl K on Apr 12, 2011 | Reply
K'net – I like Colin but because we already have Joe Webb, I think the Vikings probably bring in someone with a different skill set to compete.
Ryan Mallet in the 2nd round… and sign a free agent like Hasselbeck.
By Frederick Jones on Apr 12, 2011 | Reply
@Carl K,
That could work as long as we select an OLineman in the 1st and 4th rounds.
By Adam on Apr 12, 2011 | Reply
I'd be very happy to have Kaepernick join the Vikings. Especially if he's available in the second round of the draft. The Vikings biggest need (Safety) can be addressed in round 4. It's just a shame that it leaves our first rounder to choose between DE, DT, OT, G, C, OLB, and CB. Just way, way too many needs to cover in this draft.

Jake Locker………PERIOD!Kid is a hard worker and a quick study! He has a set on him and he can move, which is what you will need with the O-Line that we will have for the next 2 or 3 years. He also has size! We miss him at number 12………then WE MISS…..because he will be that GUY when all of us lok back at this drafy 5 years from now and we are still kicking around the bottom of the NFC North!
By Bigfan1 on Apr 13, 2011 | Reply
Why wasn't he even nominated for the Heisman? Of course his team beat one of the candidates in Kellen Moore and Boise State, no easy feat. Did he try out with the Vikings?
By Daniel on Apr 13, 2011 | Reply
I still say Luck or Barkley or Pryor or Cousins or Brantley next year.
Any one of those guys, have a way better skill set and future than ANY of this
years QB squad. Luck,and Barkley are for sure FRANCHIZE Qbs. Locker is like
Brady Quinn! Why take him? What do all the scouts say who do this for a

Same with Mallett. The Guy can throw, but so could Ryan Leaf. Don't like his
drug problem and character stinks.

Mallett! Get Locker. Vikings staff! Don't pull the trigger on these guys! Go big
on the draft next year! Sell the farm if you have to for Luck. I would take Luck
over Sam Bradford, and look what Sam has done for the organization.
This is the perfect year to bring in Luck or Barkley's Mentor, And get that
Mentor settled in this year for our Franchize QB. Lets beef up our line and
D-line in picks 1 and 2. Trade down from 12 and get our third back!

Trading down to pick up Colin and extra picks put the Vikings years from getting a starter out of this draft.They need a starter at #12 and everyone on TV(just pointing out)say that Locker is only worth a 3rd pick and taking sooner could cost a team.Cam Jordon has a great motor and a nfl blood line or grab OT Smith,both have great value at #12……..S. Williams in 2nd

I'd like to see the Vikes trade down and get both of the Patriots 1st round draft choices. You get two starters immediately if you pick wisely.

Old School, just curious, how many good QBs today in the NFL had an issue with accuracy before they got drafted? I rather us take Kaepernick over Locker but not before Mallet. We can get a 2nd round pick if we trade down to 17 with the Pats or even more picks if we trade down to 28 with them. Unless the Vikings are SOLD on any of these 3 QBs, we should have a really good chance at Mallet or Kaepernick in the late 1st round. I don't think they will last until our 2nd round pick. In regards to Locker, I'm amazed how so many Viking fans want Locker, some even want him at #12! How do you guys not see the importance of throwing accuracy??? Fine, I get it that he has good work ethic and character. I'm a great guy too and my accuracy sucks, why don't they pick me? (It's a joke, but you guys get what I meant).

I'm telling you, Mallett is going to be a great starter in the NFL. He has great football IQ, ran a pro-style offense, make line calls, check downs, audibles, he understands the game. The Vikings need to take Mallett in this draft.

I like Kaepernick. I don't think it would be a terrible idea for the Vikes to draft him. But I wouldn't take a QB in the first round. If we could get him in the second round, maybe. I'll still be following him, though, no matter where he lands.
By Daniel on Apr 14, 2011 | Reply
There is not that solid Qb in this years draft, no matter how you turn it or look at it. Mallett was benched last year a couple of times! He has a history of bad drug problems, his leadership stinks! Don't pull the trigger on him Vikes!
And Locker! This guy reminds me so much of Brady Quinn. How long would we risk very precious time on that prospect. Not just bad acuracy, but just flat out wrong acuracy. NEXT year fellas. I hate waiting too, but lets get a good mentor in to learn the system and Draft Luck or Barkley Next year. Either one of those QBs have franchise written all over them. Bring it Hasslebeck, Bring in Orton, Bring in even Mcnabb! Lets beef up the line on both sides and replace Lieber!

Whoever we have at QB will get killed until we fix the OL. Draft o linemen and try to snare Kolb from the Eagles.
By Steve on Apr 14, 2011 | Reply
Kaepernick would be a great QB to draft and build around. He has the most upside of any of the prospects. He's a winner, has a strong arm with more velocity than Mallet, team leader that is also responsible off the fiield. He has the prototypical body for a QB with the mobility to move out of the pocket. He has improved his accuracy every year and had a better completion % as a sr than Peyton Manning did. I would love to see him as a Viking !
By jebdamone on Apr 14, 2011 | Reply
this is not a surprise to me at all. from everything i have read and seen, i consider kaepernick one of the best QB prospects in the draft. kid is big, strong, fast, athletic, has a very good arm and has shown to be intelligent and hard working.
By MikeM on Apr 14, 2011 | Reply
I am from Reno and Kapp is definately worth picking up. Watching him over the past four years I can say there is not a more commited and hard working QB out there. His performance in college is only the beginning for this guy. When his passing was a problem he came back the next year and you just look at his completions. Not working under center in his college career should not be held against him. It didn't seem to phase him in the senior bowl. Kapp all the way.

i think that kaepernick would be a great fit in this team cuz this team needs a leader and i know that kaepernick would do so. He lead Nevada to the greatest season that they ever had, and i'm sure that he would do so in the NFL with a great team like the Vikings
By dave on Apr 15, 2011 | Reply
its either kaepernick or mallet as franchise quarterbacks this year dont reach for a quarterback though. our line isnt the greatest and we could use that in the first round offensive or defensive or else get prince if hes there
By Hogfan on Apr 16, 2011 | Reply
Mallet is great quarterback and a leader. His so called drug problem is a mystery to the people of Arkansas. Who are Espn's sources??? He is loved by the fans. What about his accent??? He grew up amongst black athletes like him. He is a great leader. Just ask his coaches. He is a dedicated football player who loves his game. He was so upset with the loss to Alabama that he spent all of Sunday reviewing film of the game. His coaches had to coax him out of film room. By the way, he never failed a drug test

Kaepernick is an interesting prospect, but consider this. If Minnesota drafts Kaepernick, most experts agree that he is 2-3 years away, and with Joe Webb having similar physical skills and a rocket arm, and being a 2-3 year project, what would be the point of taking Kaepernick? I am tired of Minnesota and project QB's. We went down that road with Jackson and looked how that worked out. If we draft Ponder, Dalton or Locker, we have a starter for the 2012 season, or at the midway point of 2011. I'm just sayin'

In the wake of the bombshell from ESPN Wednesday night that the Miami Heat are plotting to add Carmelo Anthony to their terrific trio to make a fearsome foursome in free agency this summer, there was a small note that explains why LeBron James would be OK with taking another paycut in order to make room for Melo.
James invested in Dr. Dre's headphones startup Beats in 2008. Last month, Apple purchased Beats for $3 billion. ESPN reported that James' takeaway from that deal alone dwarfs what he'd have to give up to make room for his friend Anthony.

Snapchat is now the latest prominent app to start using the Play Store beta testing mechanism to get new features in front of users sooner, something we've also seen from Facebook. If you haven't already heard of Snapchat, think of it as a service that could have saved Anthony Weiner a great deal of headache. Users use it to send photos, videos, and text messages that automatically delete from the recipient's device and the server after a set amount of time.
There are any number of photo editors on Android already, but Repix brings something slightly different to the table. This app isn't about getting the colors just right or removing red eye – it turns your boring regular pictures into snazzy art. What? You don't like snazzy things?
There are 16 filters, 17 frames, and over 30 brushes available in Repix. There's not a lot of messing around with settings here – you just pick a tool and have at it.
A couple of weeks ago, Play Store users started receiving frustrating errors when downloading or updating apps. The bug flashed a dialog reading "Package file is invalid" after refusing to download an app. It seemed to affect people and apps randomly. Google marked the issue as "resolved" on the Play support page on August 13th, but it has been moved back into the Known Issues list.
A casual search on the social networks reveals that more than a few users are still experiencing the issue, though it doesn't seem to be as widespread as before.
Welcome to the roundup of the best new Android applications, games, and live wallpapers that went live in the Play Store or were spotted by us in the previous 2 weeks or so.
This is the app roundup. The game roundup from this week can be found here.
As announced on Google+ earlier this morning by the Android Developers page, app devs can now distribute their [free] wares to users in Iran. Paid apps and all apps with in-app billing will have to wait, possibly indefinitely. The complex and restrictive embargoes the US has placed on doing business in the country, particularly when it comes to accepting Iranian currency or working with Iranian financial institutions, probably are something of a hurdle in that regard.
How many times has this happened to you: you're out for a day of shopping/running errands and get home only to find out about a handful of good deals that you drove right past throughout the day? That seems to happen to my wife and me nearly every time we go somewhere; fortunately, there's a new app that aims to keep that from happening again. It's called Clipless, and it essentially runs in the background, just waiting to alert you of a nearby deal.
Just when you thought we were done with the already rather extensive Google Search teardown, another wild teardown appears. Yup, still the same good old Search 2.7, but this time, we found a hidden feature that you will really want, even more than custom hotwords. At least I think you will.
Turns out, there's a secret flag within Search that lets you use the hotword, set by default to 'Google,' anywhere in search results instead of just the home Activity.
Utter! isn't the quiet kid in the back of class who only answers a question when asked, pointing out the answer in a textbook like Google Now, nor is it the class clown who dishes out snarky answers whenever he or she doesn't like the way a teacher asks a question, like Siri. Utter! is the student that sits in the front seat and always raises their hand first, the one that has the answer for every question, no matter how it's phrased or what it's about.
The year was 1993. A young President Clinton was embarking on what was sure to be a scandal-free presidency, Whitney Houston was topping the charts with nothing but fame and fortune in front of her, and Simon the Sorcerer was released on Amiga and MS-DOS. You could say this game has had more lingering appeal than a lot of things from 1993, and now it's available on Android in celebration of its 20th anniversary.
In a way, Angry Birds and Star Wars are a match made in heaven. Both properties are immensely popular, and neither is a stranger to merchandising. You're as likely to stumble across either of them on a lunch box or in a bin of stuffed animals as you are to see them in their native formats. That's why the concept of Angry Birds Star Wars is neither surprising nor difficult to grasp.

"The Bourne Legacy" is the story of a man who needs some medication and spends the whole movie trying to get it. This is good medicine. As the film opens, he dives naked into a river in Alaska, brings up a sealed tube from the bottom, takes a little blue pill and a little green pill, wraps himself in a thermal blanket by his fire, then backpacks across a mountain range while fighting off wolves. Some of the climbing involves steep walls without use of rope or pitons.
Aaron Cross is not a superhero. Like Jason Bourne before him, he's an agent of The Program, a secret U.S. intelligence project that involves modifying the human genome to produce men with incredible physical and mental agility, and the skill set of an Eagle Scout with nine pounds of merit badges.
Cross is played by Jeremy Renner with the kind of focus and detached courage he showed in "The Hurt Locker." Because he isn't referred to by name for a long time, and because everybody keeps saying Bourne is still "out there," and because I had not seen the trailer, I wondered for awhile if perhaps Renner was now playing Bourne, but the film finally, mercifully, produces a wanted poster showing Matt Damon, which clears that up.
The movie spends a lot of time in a Manhattan command center for The Program, which is chockablock with computer screens and communications equipment, and can apparently tap into any surveillance camera in the world. In this room we meet the masterminds of The Program, grim veterans played by Scott Glenn, Stacy Keach and Albert Finney, and headed by Edward Norton. They spend a lot of time in each other's faces, trading jargon and spycraft. These men have decided to terminate The Program by giving all their expert agents a triangular yellow pill that causes them to bleed from the right nostril and die. Always the right nostril.
After Cross eludes a drone equipped with a missile in Alaska and fights off more wolves, he makes contact with Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz), who has "a Ph.D. and two post-doctoral fellowships" and knows all about the pills. Now there is the best sequence of violence in the movie, which involves a lab technician played by Zeljko Ivanek. Then Cross and Shearing join forces in a desperate quest to stay one jump ahead of the masters of The Program while traveling around the globe to Manila, where the medications are manufactured. The Rachel Weisz character spends a lot more time on screen than females are often allowed in action movies, even though she isn't used for sex appeal. Her performance stands up strongly beside Renner's.
These meds are a virus that alters genes. You can take booster pills from time to time, or with a new iteration you can be "locked in," which is what Cross seeks. He has become accustomed to possessing incredible muscle and mind power. One can only guess what other benefits the pills bestow; to my knowledge Cross never eats or drinks during the entire film.
"The Bourne Legacy" is always gripping in the moment. The problem is in getting the moments to add up. I freely confess that for at least the first 30 minutes I had no clear idea of why anything was happening. The dialogue is concise, the cinematography is arresting and the plot is a murky muddle.
There are three major chase scenes — by car, by parkour and by motorcycle. Parkour, you recall, is the art of running up walls and dancing over rooftops, and apparently comes along with the pills. The motorcycle chase takes place in Manila, after Cross and Shearing steal a cycle, the police give chase, and one particularly determined undercover cop with dark aviator glasses persists beyond all reason. Since he doesn't have a single word of dialogue, it's impossible to say if he has any idea how important Cross and Shearing are, but he keeps coming like the Energizer Bunny.
This chase lasts way too long. I glanced twice at my watch. It goes up and down stairs and down the middle lanes of expressways, and causes countless crashes, and is edited in that frustrating style where you see fragments of action but don't always have the whole picture. At its conclusion — poof! — the wind goes out of the picture's sails, and a final scene sets up a sequel. I wonder how long Bourne's name will stay in the series titles. After all, he's still Out There.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...
