Squeeze Its have not been sold in 11 years. C’mon! Here are 47 other stats/pics people born in the mid-eighties will enjoy/be baffled by.

By now you know. Yeah, “The Avengers” comes out today. The bigness of this movie can’t really be overstated. I mean, it cost like a trillion dollars to make. So, to celebrate this momentous occasion, I wanted to individually acknowledge the awesomeness of each superhero in a superhero kind of way.

What if instead of Robert Downey Jr. and that one really good looking actor whose name I don’t know (you know the one, don’t lie), these characters were all played by modern-day athletes? That’ll be fun.

So, without further ado, here are the athletes I would choose to play “The Avengers,” based on their superpowers.

Iron Man: Got to start with Tony Stark. Who is undeniably talented, filthy rich, globally famous, WEARS RED when he goes to battle and sometimes lets his playboy antics interfere with his superhero duties? Duh, Tiger Woods. Moving right along.

Nick Fury: I’m giving this role to Jamie Moyer. I know, Bill Belichick feels like a natural fit given that he is indeed a master spy like Fury. But I’m giving this one to Moyer based on “Infinity Formula” – the special medication Fury took that halted his aging and allows him to be powerful despite being super old. The man is 49 years old and just pitched seven scoreless innings for crying out loud!

Captain America: A patriotic superhero who protects America before all else and has the greatest physical attributes a human can possibly have. Got to go with an Olympian here. And who better than Michael Phelps. He gets an added bonus for all those medals looking a lot like a pretty indestructible-looking shield.

The Incredible Hulk: Kevin Garnett. No doubt. For one, he plays for the Celtics, so he’s green. And I don’t think there’s another athlete whose anger can be so damn palpable. You know the look, Wolves fans. Yeah, you could say he turns into a somewhat of a monster when enraged or excited.

May 12. Be there.

I don’t care what the missus says, I’m putting my Nerf hoop back up in our living room. 

First the SLAM cover, now this video. If we beat the Lakers tonight, this might go down as the most joyous week for MN sports since 1991.  

I might take work off tomorrow to celebrate this moment. #SlamFTW

Pop Culture Advice Of The Week: Once Gotye gets sick and tired of singing “Somebody That I Used To Know” - which he will; I mean, give it a rest if you want this moment to last, people - he should just hire Sonny from HBO’s “Treme” as his stage double. No one will ever be able to tell the difference. It’s like Gary Busey/Nick Nolte or something. Apologies to Foster The People. I can’t think of another group that quite resembles them right now, so they’ll just have to keep playing “Pumped Up Kicks” forever. 

Can anyone confirm this is the first time Ross has ever removed his sunglasses since birth? It’s like going back to 1999 and imagining Fred Durst without a red Yankees hat or something.

Yes, the Wolves should absolutely sport the retro Muskies unis today, tomorrow and on most nights. Page 2 has got the lowdown on all the ABA throwbacks.

Bravo, sir. The “Up” birthday cake. 

It’s happening! It feels like we might be at around the episode where Avon got paroled in Season 3 and it was clear there was some weird tension between him and String. Is the balcony scene coming next postseason?

In unrelated Wire thoughts: I built an IKEA bed yesterday and couldn’t help but want some Jameson after getting confused.  

How are people supposed to make it in America if “How To Make It In America” can’t even make it on HBO?! In similar news, Laura Dern must be a straight boss to get renewed over the shows that got cancelled today. #occupyHBO? 

Breaking Bad Everything.
