I am referring to the dunderhead who denied Hall of Famer and retired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page a blue checkmark next to his name on Twitter.

Page applied for the blue mark and, like most everyone but maybe the dimwit who gave him the Twitter version of the Heisman, he must have figured he would be a slam dunk.

They, ahem, “could not reliably verify the account associated with the request is a notable person …”

Page, who goes by @ACPage_77 on Twitter and has 15.5 thousand followers, had a great tweet after being denied: Not notable! Hmmm.!”

One of my favorite reactions came from noted Minnesota-born writer and blue check marked Steve Rushin, who tweeted, “Ahem. The baller, scholar, philanthropist, Sousaphonist, NFL MVP, U of M JD, have-gavel-will travel justice seeker, antiquer, groundbreaker, syrup-maker & school namesaker who built the Hall of Fame in which he’s enshrined *is* a “notable” tweeter, leader and Purple People Eater.”

But, according to some Twitter loop-de-loop, Alan Page is not notable.

(Bob Sansevere hosts the daily podcast “The BS Show” that also is broadcast on radio stations in Duluth (WDSM), Hibbing (WNMT), St. Cloud (WBHR) and Worthington (the RadioWorks Network). He also co-hosts the weekly JimBob Sports Jamboree with Vikings legend Chuck Foreman and Fox 9’s Jim Rich; that show can be heard on about a dozen radio stations across Minnesota. And he will be returning to the KQ Morning Show, where he spent more than 30 years, to give weekly Vikings updates.)
