All I can say right now is that it sucks being a Minnesota sports fan right now. First you have the Twins pissing down their legs, and now the Vikings losing to the Jets, and now Brett Favre Donggate.
It's not going to get better. This winter we get to watch (or not watch) the Timberwolves, who will suck yet again this year; the Wild, whose sellout streak has already ended and may face crowds that'll rival Southern cities unless the team shows improvement; Gopher men's hockey, which'll probably live down to the rich history of the program yet again this year; Gopher men's basketball, where we're about to turn on Tubby Smith if he doesn't turn it around; Gopher women's basketball, whose fall back down to the dredges of the Big Ten is almost complete; Gopher women's hockey, a program that has gotten stuck into a position of being a bridesmaid but not a bride (to the dozen people who give a shit); and the Swarm, who ... are the Swarm.
It's going to be a shitty winter. Unless the Vikings surprise the world, this sports malaise won't lift until ... the Twins in the spring. Oh God, it's not going to get better after the winter, either.
