As successful NFL personnel people will attest, NFL games are won as much in the front office as on the field, for it is the successful front office that tends to correlate with the successful team. In the NFL, a successful front office is measured by three criteria—contract management, free-agent signees, and draftees.
With few meaningful contract issues this season, the Minnesota Vikings' personnel people are most aptly judged in 2006 on the basis of their free-agent signings and their draft acumen. After a respectable free-agency period, whether the Vikings would keep pace with their division rivals came down to a question of how the Vikings did in the draft. And upon further review, the returns are as much disappointing as they are promising.
In yesterday's column, I noted that one could argue that the Vikings had a respectable draft. After selecting a consensus starter in Chad Greenway in the first round, the Vikings proceeded to add two more players in the second round—Cedric Griffin and Ryan Cook—who potentially fill extant holes. But it is with these picks that questions begin to arise about the draft skills of the Vikings' draft coterie—head coach Brad Childress and personnel men Scott Studwell and Fran Foley. For beginning with the Griffin pick, the Vikings tranformed from a team intent on optimizing their selections to a team bent on proving that counter-intuitiveness trumps conventional wisdom. And that transformation could be the difference between the Vikings merely keeping pace with their division and conference rivals and gaining an edge on those same adversaries through a draft in which the Vikings purportedly had a numbers edge.
The problem with the Vikings' draft picks from the second round on is not necessarily who they drafted—though there are some clear concerns in that area—but what the team paid to get those players and whether the team optimized its selections. And no matter how one dissects the draft, it is clear that the Vikings' personnel people made several gaffes once they moved from selecting, in round one, a consensus player at a position that they desperately needed to fill, to drafting in the murkier waters of the post-round one realm.
The Picks and the Prices
Having addressed their primary need at linebacker with the selection of Chad Greenway the Vikings next moved to address their need at cornerback. With Brian Williams gone the Vikings needed a corner capable both of starting at nickel back and pushing the enigmatic Fred Smoot. There were several comparable cornerbacks of reasonable quality still on the board when the Vikings selected at forty-eight. But rather than selecting the more highly regarded Ashton Youboty, the Vikings opted for Cedric Griffin. That Youboty lasted until the seventieth pick suggests that taking Griffin at forty-eight was an unnecessary reach.
As I've said many times in the past, a reach is only a reach if it adversely affects your bottom line. And Griffin's selection at forty-eight affected the Vikings' bottom line. For, had the Vikings not drafted Griffin at forty-eight, they still could have taken him at fifty or drafted any number of other comparable cornerbacks in round three. The reach on Griffin would be virtually meaningless, however, were it not for the Vikings' desperation to select a quarterback in round two and the team's subsequent comedy of errors made in an attempt to ensure that they landed a player that they could have landed without having to trade away a valuable third-round pick.
Purportedly, the Vikings had Oregon quarterback Kellen Clemens as their target in the second round. The Vikings erroneously assumed that Clemens would still be available when they next selected at fifty-one. When the N.Y. Jets swung a deal with the Dallas Cowboys to move into the number forty-nine position to take Clemens, the Vikings' draft room imploded, with those who wanted to take Clemens at forty-eight at odds with those who did not.
The Vikings reacted to the Jets' move by making two moves of their own. First, they inexplicably took center Ryan Cook with the fifty-first pick. Barring either a revelation that Matt Birk will not be ready to play at the beginning of the 2006 season or a determination to move Birk to right guard, a position that the Vikings purportedly filled with the trade for Artis Hicks, the move makes little sense as center is not a need for the Vikings. With several legitimate NFL players still on the board at positions of need for the Vikings, the selection of Cook—widely regarded as a round-five pick before the draft—therefore is mystifying.
Adding to the Vikings' second-round intrigue was the Vikings' trade of their two third-round picks, numbers eighty-three and ninety-five, to the Pittsburgh Steelers for the Steelers' number sixty-four pick. With the sixty-fourth pick, the Vikings selected a major quarterback project, Alabama State quarterback Tarvaris Jackson.
To summarize the Vikings' round two blunders, it is easiest to work backwards at this point. If the Vikings had wanted Clemens there was no excuse for not taking him with the forty-eighth pick. If that meant that another team snuck in between forty-eight and fifty-one to nab Griffin, so be it. There were many other viable cornerbacks still available—Youboty among them.
If the Vikings were content with obtaining Jackson, however, Griffin was a credible selection at forty-eight and the Vikings still could have had Jackson at fifty-one. And that would have left the Vikings with picks eighty-three and ninety-five—where they could have selected Cook or, if Cook was gone, another center such as the much more highly rated Greg Eslinger, or another player that filled a need.
Who would have been available to the Vikings in the third round? To name just a few, Rashad Butler, Maurice Stoval, Greg Eslinger, Dominique Byrd, Will Blackmon, Elvis Dumervil, and Mark Setterstrom. Even if the Vikings believed that these players were redundant or stretches, they were free additions—the price was merely proper management of selections in round two. That the Vikings failed properly to manage their selections in round two meant, at a minimum, that the team forfeited the opportunity to add at least one more third-round caliber player. That's a peculiar luxury to afford oneself in an era in which third-round picks more often than not make the squad and stay with a team for at least three years.
Ultimately, what might be a decent draft for the Vikings on the basis of a solid first-round pick might as well be regarded as a highly disappointing pick for the loss of at least one pick in the third round without benefit of any meaningful return. And if the purported return is a bust, the second-round maneuvers in this year's draft will look even more amateurish and could lead to a recall of personnel people.
Up Next: More Questions. Plus, remaining needs.
As the Minnesota Vikings prepared for the 2006 NFL entry draft, the vast majority of Vikings' fans predicted a nice haul in the draft. With five picks on day one, history supported such a sentiment. And with a draft replete with good talent deep into the first round—and numerous players that fit the Vikings' draft needs likely to be available when the Vikings selected at seventeen—the Vikings appeared in position to make a draft move.
To some extent, the Vikings did what they needed to do in this draft. Entering the draft, the team's greatest need was at middle linebacker. Three linebackers stood out as potentially filling this need—AJ Hawk, Ernie Sims, and Chad Greenway. Of the three, Hawk widely was regarded as the superior linebacker with Greenway and Sims close behind. But a case could be made that Greenway—with thirty-five more tackles than Hawk in 2005—was the best linebacker on the board, with Sims a distant third both as a player and as a person. That made landing Greenway at seventeen a nice, as well as a less expensive, catch.
The question for the Vikings is how soon it will take Greenway to move to the middle linebacker slot. Vikings' head coach Brad Childress has indicated that Greenway will open camp as the starter at weak side linebacker with EJ Henderson manning the middle linebacker position and Ben Leber lining up at strong-side linebacker. If Greenway shows the aptitude for the game that he showed as a walk-on at Iowa, however, the linebacker alignment could change before the regular season begins and the Vikings could have one of the more solid linebacking corps in the NFL.
Another of the Vikings' pressing needs was a role player in the secondary. The Vikings filled that need by selecting Texas cornerback Cedric Griffin. While Griffin probably will not draw comparisons to Deion Sanders any time soon, the Vikings drafted him to fill an immediate need that does not require star quality—the role of nickel cornerback. And with 86 tackles for the Longhorns last season, he should be more than suited to fill that role.
The Vikings' selection of Griffin meant not only that the Vikings had filled their two remaining vacancies, but also that the team could turn its attention to upgrading positions for which they at least had a body penciled in as starter in 2006. That shift of attention led the Vikings back to their number one problem last season and gave Vikings' fans their first real reason second-guess the Vikings' draft triangle—a group that, through pick forty-eight, merely had followed virtually everybody's big board.
Finding a Fork in It
Shortly after selecting Griffin, the Vikings reached a fork in the road. Holding the 51st pick, the Vikings still sought an offensive lineman, a backup quarterback, and another linebacker. With several talented offensive linemen still available the question for the Vikings was whether they preferred finesse or brute strength.
One option was Outland Trophy and Rimington Award winner Greg Eslinger from the University of Minnesota. The only player ever to be selected both the best interior lineman and the best center in college football, Eslinger appeared to be a good fit for the Vikings as his selection would allow the Vikings to move Birk to right guard and to interject some quickness into a line otherwise heavy of foot.
The Vikings took the road more traveled, however, foregoing drafting Eslinger in favor of drafting the much taller, weightier Ryan Cook out of New Mexico. While the knock on Eslinger is that he is too small, the knock on Cook is that he is too tall'Äîripping the tape at 6'Äô7'Ä?.
The primary concern about the Vikings' selection of Cook, however, is not that Cook is too tall to line up at center for Minnesota, but that the Vikings' took the mammoth center far too early in the draft. With most experts having pegged Cook as a second-day selection, picking Cook in the middle of the 2nd round certainly looks like a reach. And if the Vikings truly could have had Cook in the fifth round—where he was projected to go—then the team blew the pick with respect to what they later had to pay to move up to take Tarvaris Jackson.
If Cook pans out, however, all probably will be forgotten about this gaffe—one that pales in comparison to previous draft-day gaffes—as Vikings' fans predominantly will recall only that the Vikings obtained Cook somewhere in the 2006 draft. And if Cook pans out—as is also expected of Greenway and Griffin—the Vikings will be able to look back at the 2006 draft, in which the team had only one pick in the first forty-seven, as at least a satisfactory draft.
Up Next: Jackson and Change.
Many of you who know me well also understand that I wear my emotions on my sleeve. And I just want to open with that because I could come back here later this week and be in a different frame of mind over what transpired over the last 48-hours at the draft war room inside Winter Park.
But, as of right now I'm too infuriated to even articulate about the picks made on the second day. Just too incensed. And I know some of you, especially the younger fans, won't understand my anger. (And there will be those even angrier than myself.) So, let me try and elaborate for all those you think I'm being too harsh in my assessment.
It's been 46-years since the inception of the team. And the Vikings have yet to win a Super Bowl. So, the fans tend to magnify everything that happens with the team in an attempt to find the promised land.
When a team has been to the Super Bowl four times and come up empty, the fans start reaching for excuses and help. To the fans, progress always seems slow. In fact, fans don't want improvement. We want a ring! And we want it yesterday.
Whenever I'm sick, I'm always reminded of how the Vikings fans magnify every little move the Vikings make. You must know that feeling when all you have to do is lie in bed and concentrate on your condition. It's impossible not to focus on yourself. All your little aches and pains seem magnified. You watch yourself for the slightest signs of improvement. If there isn't any, you wonder why. You wonder what's happening. You start worrying about what you might have done differently to avoid being laid up.
The same with the Vikings. We'll analyze the hell out of every move, every trade, the coach, and even the food served at the MetroDome. So, exactly how do I usually keep a smile on my face?
First off, I gave Zygi Wilf a honeymoon period. And I still don't really have any issues with a man who has spent more in a single year than the previous did in five. Even Red McCombs enjoyed immense popularity his inaugural season. I also gave a honeymoon period to Brad Childress which was suppose to last one full season.....but that period may have abruptly ended over the weekend. And I also gave a honeymoon period to Fran Foley which lasted as long as a marriage with Zsa Zsa Gabor did....to any of her many husbands.
So, for Vikings owners, coaches (Bud Grant excluded), administration, and players, our adoration can be fleeting. Especially when owners decide to raise ticket prices early in the year followed by a crappy draft. But I'm getting off topic a bit. (For a complete rundown on the history of ticket rate increase (and hijacking) please read more here.)
All we really ask of our Vikings owners and players is that we receive your undivided attention and effort. Or at least feign it. We don't like to be shared. Especially when the new owner is exploring the purchase of a Major League Soccer team to bring to the Twin Cities. Perhaps that fits into his new stadium plans or he has another goal in mind. But, the new owner hasn't even reached the Big Dance with the Purple yet. As The Wife® will tell me, "Keep your eyes over here, Mister!"
Yes, Mr. Wilf opened up his pocket book and brought the Vikes closer to the salary cap maximum. I'm not saying Zygi has to spend just to spend. But when the opportunity to vastly improve the team at a weak position presents itself the reply should be, "Cash or check?" and not, "I'll pass."
In that regard, Zygi gets high, high marks.
Additionally, I truly understand the need to bring in additional income for advertising by renting space for signage throughout the MetroDome which was done under McCombs. But, the appearance was more in line with a Texas league high school football than a professional football team. Last season, Zygi took a look-see for himself. He understood being an ECG (East Coast guy) and all. Again, two huge thumbs up in improving the look of the Dome.
And Wilf is riding a high approval rating here on the Viking Underground. Wilf got an 86% approval rating for April. For the year, Zygi actually improved to an overall 87% approval rating. I wonder if that will hold in May given the recent uniform change and then what I am referring to as a draft debacle.
Note: The May Zygi Approval Rating poll is now available. Just navigate to along the left frame to the poll area. And directly underneath the approval poll is a new poll on which NFC North team had the best overall draft.
With any draft, one has to allow time to judge the value of the players drafted. It will be interesting to see how the "experts" grade the team but I have to think no higher than a "C" which is again, helped by the first two picks which I truly loved.
But we aren't even sure Chad Greenway or Cedric Griffin will be "all that and a bag of chips" either. This could be one of the worst drafts EVER in the history of the team.
For example, the Vikes opening day linebacker corps for opening day could be Ben Leber at strong-side, EJ Henderson at middle and Greenway at weak. Um, don't you need at least one guy who can take on a block? There was Abdul Hodge for the taking. Numerous times in the second round and again early in the third. Instead, Hodge was picked up by the Packers. Now the Vikes have to face AJ Hawk, Hodge, and either Nick Barnett or Na'il Diggs twice a year. Hell, the Pack could even go 3-4! And do you know how pissed I get when I have to tip my hat to the freakin' Packers!!!????!!!!
Then there was the reach for Tarvaris Jackson. I fully understand that other teams were looking to move up and 'Äústeal him'Ä? from the Vikes. But, c'Äômon!?!? That was a lot to spend for him. Yes, Jackson has got an absurd arm. Yes, the pundits said the arm of Jackson might be the best in the draft. But, the big negative in his game is Jackson has trouble absorbing an offense and taking it to the field. The West Coast offense is not an easy offense to learn. And the team let a QB leave that had a freakish arm who was already a Pro Bowler and familiar with the personnel. He just didn'Äôt want to be here. So, we are now supposed to start from scratch!?!? (Recall the 46-year Super Bowl draught?)
I might be just too upset to think straight. I know I'm too upset to write any more for a few days and will look for the analytical honey-sweet tones of Vikes Geek to perhaps set me straight....or vindicate my current gut feelings.
How about you? Am I being harsh? Do you consider this draft to be a stinker or does it have the aroma of a Super Bowl? Can you put a smile back on my face? If so, I'd love to hear from you. Tell me what I am missing, please! And grade out the Vikes draft in the poll below.
Update: Sunday evening 9 PM CST
Best comment fed back to me so far....."No Steller names, but all soild players. Remember the Pats?" Slight smile starting to crack on left side of face. Keep them coming!

The band is Stayin' Alive— a renowned Bee Gees tribute band— but their Jan. 25 show at the Rose Theatre is dedicated to 'keepin' alive' the memory of former drummer Michael Griffith.
Griffith, a professional musician hailing from Brampton, died suddenly in June 2012 at the age of 52. He left behind a wife and two teenaged sons, and a community of musicians are now rallying together to help his family go on.
Chris Mullin, bass player for Stayin' Alive and close friend of Griffith's, said the upcoming concert in his late friend's hometown is a fundraiser for the Griffith boys.
"Mike didn't have a lot of money set aside— he was young at heart and thought he'd live forever," said Mullin, who sparked a friendship with the drummer 18 years ago. "So this is for his boys. Both of his boys are musicians...all proceeds from this show will go to his boys to help pay for university."
The bassist and drummer first met almost two decades ago when the band Mullin played in was auditioning new drummers. The group went through about 10 drummers, said Mullin, before Griffith came in and "blew the doors off".
"He was incredibly gifted," said Mullin.
Six years ago, the pair both auditioned for Stayin' Alive, and since then had been playing together in the tribute band, touring the world. Each year the band played a regular gig at Disney World— but last year's event is now marked with an overcast memory of the drummer's death.
Mullin said band members were doing a sound check that day, and he noticed Griffith seemed "out of sorts," but the show went on and the group performed. After the show, Griffith suffered a massive heart attack that would claim his life. It was a shock to everyone who knew him. The band members and crew for Stayin' Alive are all donating their time to present this special performance.
He made quite an impression with his talent, said Mullin, noting he had been playing with Maroon 5 and was offered a full-time gig, and had played at the victory party for Prime Minister Stephen Harper during the last election, worked with Cirque du Soleil in Orlando and Las Vegas, and had played with a long list of high-profile musicians.
Locally, Griffith put his roots down in Brampton some time ago with his wife Joanie, where they raised their two boys. Mullin said the drummer volunteered at his children's music school, and helped out with coaching duties for softball and lacrosse.
Griffith's sons will join Stayin' Alive on stage during the encore of the show, and perform with the band in their father's memory.
But Mullin said while the show is a dedication and fundraiser in memory of Griffith, the concert will be every bit as upbeat and entertaining as always.
"All of these musicians in the band are top-notch studio musicians," said Mullin. "It's really just a great time for everyone. I can't tell you how many times I've look out and seen 80-year-old up dancing— you just can't help yourself."
The set includes all the hits from the disco era, but set list spans three decades— from the '60s to the '80s— and includes songs that some may never have realized were written by the Bee Gees, like Islands in the Stream and Grease.
Mullin laughs when he says that anyone who has seen the Bee Gees perform knows they are perhaps a bit ... boring on stage, and promises that's not the case with Stayin' Alive.
"We do our own version, note for note, but with a lot more energy and other components like multimedia," he said. "Besides, everyone is a Bee Gees fan at heart."
For tickets for the 7:30 p.m. concert on Friday, Jan. 25 at the Rose Theatre call 905-874-2800. For more on the band, visit www.stayinalivetribute.com.

Recipient Mare Traits Passing On to Foals
Q. A friend of mine suggested that receiving mares would influence the foals--especially regarding future performance records--in a negative way. Is there any proof or research available about the receiving mare's effect on the foal?

Now that the Washington Capitals will officially miss the playoffs for the first time in six years, this is a great time to focus more on the tendencies of this Adam Oates-led team. While a lot of positive stories have been written about the team's revitalized power play and its Russian captain, there's a lot of reasons why we think Oates may be holding this team back from bigger and better things. Like, here's twenty of them.
Then there's the whole issue of the Caps sometimes looking like a beer-league team on the ice. Over the last few weeks, Caps players have violently collided into each other three times. Three. Times. And in two straight games.
Because this seems to be more like a pattern than a series of freak events, I collected GIFs and video of all the times it's happened during Oates' tenure. It's happened… a lot.

Clary Cemetery
Hi, I sent you an e-mail on 1/13/2014 about some memorials you have created in the Clary Cemetery in Hiddenite, N.C. I sent it to the e-mail address you show here on Find-a-Grave: firstname.lastname@example.com Please check your spam folder for my e-mail as it is VERY important that I get in touch with you. I am related to the Clarys that are buried in the cemetery and our family Foundation (CLS Cemetery & Heritage Foundation, Inc.) are the caretakers of this family plot and own the property the plot is on. I have added memorials for several more of the individuals buried there and the Clary Cemetery is attached to my account here on Find-a-Grave. I have reviewed your memorials and there are some individuals you are showing as being buried there who are not actually in the cemetery, and you have the name of my 4th Great Grandmother Kerrian Hablock Rector Clary wrong. I sent you the e-mail from: email@example.com with all the details and a request, if you will consider it, that you transfer the memorials you have created to my account for maintenance. Five of them need to be deleted because they are not buried there and one needs information corrected. Our Foundation officers have asked me to send you this request and I feel that the e-mail I sent to you may not have reached you. I will resend if you can give me a valid e-mail address. Thank you SO MUCH for creating the memorials and your considerations. Kindest Regards-Mark Lackey

Brazeau Cemetery
I've been trying to contact someone from the church in Brazeau.
All the searching on line has produced phone numbers no longer in service or no longer associated with the church.
You photographed the church/cemetery. Did you happen to get a contact for the church?
A trustee maybe or a pastor?
I see from on-line that the church separated from the evengelical presbyterian church denomination in 2012... but no contacts were listed
Much appreciated.

Editor's Note: This is the seventh article in a monthly series focusing on business and leadership lessons from prominent figures in history, sports, politics and corporate America.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Marissa Mayer, the new CEO and president of Yahoo! (YHOO - Get Report), is already being hailed as a pioneer: Mayer is the youngest female CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
At just 37, nearly seven months pregnant and less than a month on the job, the pressure is on. Regardless of her age and sex, shareholders of the $19 billion dollar internet company expect her to revive its struggling business model -- and soon.
Mayer comes into a job that didn't end so well for predecessors. From Carol Bartz to the most recent Yahoo! CEO failure, Scott Thompson -- who had to resign after a frustrated hedge fund investor uncovered lies on his resume -- the Yahoo! CEO job has most recently been associated with failure, failure of a spectacular and very public nature.While Mayer clearly made a major contribution to Google's (GOOG - Get Report) expansion and success as one of the search giant's initial engineers, questions persist about whether she has the experience to run a public company. Yet for the technology sector, by nature always looking to the future -- and for a company like Yahoo! which needs a new outlook -- Mayer's selection makes sense for at least one obvious reason. "She brings the youth movement to the table," says Adam Connors, managing partner of Spire Search Partners in Hoboken, N.J. "Leadership these days is trending younger and she is crossing a couple of borders between women, youth and technology, which is signifying the future." "That's a powerful statement to take somebody that young and put her in that position at such a critical point in the company's future," says Steven Raz, co-founder and managing partner of Cornerstone Search Group in Parisppany, N.J. "

This dramedy has a star-studded female cast that includes Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, Carrie Fisher, Cloris Leachman, Debi Mazar, Bette Midler and Candice Bergen. It's an update of the 1939 film of the same name which was based on the play by Clare Booth Luce. Written and directed by Diane English, 2008's "The Women" centers on what happens to four friends (Ryan, Bening, Messing and Smith) after one of their husbands gets involved in an affair with Mendes' character.
Freida Pinto is excited about her new movie because it has so many scantily clad men.
The Mumbai-born actress revealed she signed up to star in the fantasy-action movie 'Immortals' when she realised she would be covered up while the male actors including Mickey Rourke, Henry Cavill and Kellen Lutz would be wearing very little.
She said: "It was very interesting when I learned that the men were going to be objectified and the women could just enjoy themselves. I was excited about doing a project where I was all covered but the men had these tiny miniskirts on. Sometimes the skirt was almost not there!"
Freida plays the oracle priestess Phaedra who can see the future in the movie about the exploits about the mythical hero Theseus but she revealed her biggest worry was trying to act in front of a green screen.
She told Interview magazine: "The director, Tarsem Singh, is a visualist - his mind is almost like a child's imagination. He brings to life what some people can only imagine. The movie was shot using a green screen, which made me nervous at first, but then I realised you just have to let your imagination flow."

Randomish thoughts on Baltimore baseball
- If you didn't know better and had to guess, which of these guys looks more likely to ever to be a major leaguer again? The auto-concussed Brian Roberts or the perfectly conditioned Bugs&Cranks reader and commenter Brady Anderson?
- If scientists could harness the hot wind produced by the relentless bloviation of Jim Palmer on Orioles TV broadcasts, we could plug every oil well, seal up every coal mine, and knock down every pipeline. Gary Thorne, the regular O's play-by-play guy, is doing the Frozen Four tonight. He's the only announcer who can tame the verbal tornado that is James Alvin Palmer. Jim Hunter, Thorne's backup, is no match, though not for lack of butt-smooching.
- Fellow Bug Wayne and I attended Friday's opener at Camden Yards, a 4-2 win over the Twins. Sellout crowd, perfect weather, Jake Arrieta looked like an actual number one starter. The foul ball that whizzed over our heads in the middle innings zoomed straight into the press box and missed The Baltimore Sun's Kevin Cowherd by about four feet. Oh well. Can't have everything.
- Nick Markakis homered in the opener, depositing a first-inning pitch into the left-center field seats – his first opposite field tater since 2008.
- Smart teams are starting their own television networks. NESN and the YES Network are worth more than the teams they broadcast. The Orioles wisely started the Mid Atlantic Sports Network in hopes that the station would generate enough revenue to maybe be able to boost the payroll and compete in the AL East. And by all accounts, the network is doing well. But how well can it do when its advertisers are King's Liquors on Pulaski Highway ("Your lottery cash-in headquarters!").
- More fun from Saturday evening's broadcast: this young gent tells the Twins exactly what he thinks of them, following Nick Markakis and Matt Wieters homering back to back.
One Response to "Randomish thoughts on Baltimore baseball"
Funny, when it comes to the Twins, kid nailed my sentiments exactly.

These are the only googles that fit my small narrow face.I find gasget goggles are painful after 1 hour and leave bruises under my eyes.These goggles are the last of the foam type left.They are also the lowest cost of all goggles so its no tradgedy if you loose them.They last about 3/4 of the yesr and I swim daily for 2 yo 3 hours.I teach kids to swim so I always have a few extras (googles that are brought at toy stores for kids are useless)because good goggles are essential to swimming!
