Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been quite busy the last month or so with vacations (yippee), work (boooooo), and just relaxing (aaahhhh).
So, my current thought for the day is ... Why do most Minnesota professional sports teams always disappoint their fans?
Of course, we all know that the Vikings will disappoint you every season, but what the heck, we still root for them. At least next season I can be a Vikings fan. I had given it serious thought that I should switch and become a Colts fan #1, then a Vikings fan. But with the firing of Tice, I might give it another year.
We all know that Garnett won't win a championship with the T-wolves, so why do we keep on rooting for him and the team. I mean really, can they compete with the likes of San Antonio, Miami, or Detroit. They are a good team, but getting out the first round of the playoffs probably won't happen, if they even make it. At least their division is pretty weak this year.
Twins. This upcoming season they are the underdogs. Hasn't happened in a few years. But with the crappy ChiSox winning the World Series last year, what do you expect. At least coming into the next season, most fans shouldn't be expecting the Twins to become AL central champions (of course though, they WILL be AL Central champs!). The Twins really though are the only professional sports team to give the MN fans anything to cheer about the last 20 years or so.

I feel you my brother. Being a Vikings fan is like getting a big scab ripped off every year.
I used to be a bigger t-wolves fan, but I just can't really stand NBA basketball anymore - none of the teams cna play good fundamental ball anymore. Now the only basketball I watch is March Madness.
As for the Twins, they now vie with the Cubs for my attention, but it's easier to go to Cubs games here. I still root for them to witn the AL every year though. Boo White Sox!
Your observation about the NBA is spot on. I used to really like watching the games, but now it is just a bunch of guys showing off. And during March Madness, at least you see team/fundamental basketball.
I've heard rumors that Tice might be hired by the Jets. Just when I thought I wouldn't have to see him on TV anymore! (I get New York news, instead of local news.)
Boo White Sox. Oh, my wife is going to root for the cubs this year because they have a darn good right fielder. Yup, former twinkie Jacque Jones!
