Has there ever been a worse time to be a Minn. sports fan?
Gawd...the "Love boat"
The Gophers' self-destruct before the hated Badgers.
Vikings lie down, get dismembered by bears.


Wait, we lost four Super Bowls, too. those were pretty bad days.....

5. They did beat the Cannucks last week 6-0
but then the damned Cannucks answered with a 5-3 win in the next game. Last goal was an open net with 30 seconds left. Fsck.

8. Hell YES! They're a damn good team!
Watch out, they're going to the playoffs. They're very good considering the age of the franchise. Not to mention they sell out every home game they play. They'll do very well this year. Prepare to be amazed.

11. The North Stars are in DALLAS
The Wild actually look alright, may not make the playoffs, but a sound team nonetheless.

7. I hope the 'Queens have a total complete season-long meltdown, which
will put to rest forever any talk of building a bunch of spoiled overpaid underperforming asswipes a new fucking STADIUM...
YOU have the money, fuckers, BUILD IT YOURSELVES IF YOU WANT IT SO DAMN BAD!!!!
Zygi is probably just as bad as T-Wolves owner Glen Taylor...who pays a bunch of whiners like Latrell Sprewell (who wanted to know how he was going to feed his family on his multi-million dollar, I-Get-Paid-No-Matter-What-I-Do contract); meanwhile, the people on whose backs Taylor built his billion-dollar fortune are applying for fuel assistance and food stamps and housing assistance, because he pays the little people some VERY anti-family wages. His idea of a "raise" for the year is somewhere in the neighborhood of $.25-.35/hour. The increase in our insurance costs alone more than wipes that out; add to it the gas prices, and we are losing money.

14. It could have been worse.



You could have been a Bucs fan for the first 20 years of the franchise.


Those were rough years believe me.
