Some random thoughts, observations and things rattling around in my head during the dog days of summer ...

• Toby Doeden, you lost. The runoff was almost a month ago. Get the signs down. Saving S.D. will have to wait for another time.

• Adam Vinatieri, Hall of Famer. Very cool. Pretty cool too seeing Sioux Falls Mayor Christine Erickson, his sister sitting in the front row for the ceremony. Four Super Bowl rings. Two Super Bowl-winning kicks. NFL’s all-time leading scorer. If Vinatieri isn’t the GOAT among NFL kickers, who is? Fight me.
