PLUS THREE
Prominent sports cartoon characters to precede P.J. Fleck around here in recent years:
• Tim Brewster, Gophers football coach from 2007 into 2010, lives in infamy for his fantastic rhetoric and unkept promises.
• David Kahn, Timberwolves president of basketball from 2009 to 2013, was a wizard of language — "bifurcate'' — but not the draft board.
• Mike Tice, Vikings coach from 2002 to 2005, is a very good football man but also a grand, goofy character as the man in charge.
