The Ppress has another report on Tarvaris Jackson's progress. I have a feeling that Tarvaris Jackson's progress and performance is going to be near the top of Minnesota sports fans' attention for a while.
Via Kansas Viking, RealFootball365 has a Q & A about the Vikings, telling us not to give up on Troy Williamson. Would I pay 1$ for Williamson in my fantasy draft? Yes I would. Would I pay 2$? Possibly--depends on when in the draft he's named. Would I pay 3$? Absolutely not.
Vic Carucci has an offseason update on the Vikes.
I recommend PFT for following this offseason's Daunte Culpepper shenanigans. Vikes Geek has a solid commentary on how Daunte's problems stem from his lack of an agent.
Civil Liberties at sporting events: the Fanhouse has a comment on frisking to get into NFL stadiums, and Sports Law Blog talks about illegal limits to free speech at baseball games.
Via I Heart KG, Jeff Gordon at Fox Sports ranks the most frustrated sports cities. Minneapolis/St. Paul ranks sixth, just behind Milwaukee. Milwaukee? Even if we ignore college sports (Milwaukee residents likely root for Marquette basketball, Badger basketball, and/or Badger football--but then, residents of Minneapolis-St. Paul may root for Gopher hockey), we shouldn't forget that people in Milwaukee, like everybody else in Wisconsin, devote much of their rooting energy to the Green Bay Packers. The Packers won a Super Bowl in the '96 season, went to the Super Bowl in the '97 season, and have won 148 regular season games in the last 15 years.
Minneapolis-St. Paul has seen exactly two professional championships (the '87 and '91 Twins) since the Lakers moved to L.A. (and since the Lakers did move, we don't really often get to revel in the Minneapolis Lakers' legacy of 5 championships). The Vikings have never won a Super Bowl and haven't been to the Super Bowl since the 1976 season. The Timberwolves have won two playoff series in their existence. The North Stars never won a championship in Minnesota and then moved to Dallas, and the Wild hasn't won a championship yet. Cleveland and Buffalo, I'd agree: you people must be miserable. I'd put Minneapolis-St. Paul pretty even with everybody else on Gordon's list, but I think Milwaukee isn't so miserable as all that.
milwaukee bucks and milwaukee brewers haven't done much of anything in thirty or more years. put that alongside the packers not playing in milwaukee since 94 that must be frustrating.

In this decade, the Bucks have been as far into the playoffs as the Timberwolves have been.
ReplyDeleteI see where the Packers actually play as irrelevant--Milwaukee residents are still rooting for the local team. If the Vikings win a Super Bowl, people in St. Cloud are going to be happy. Fans of a team that live in the same state as their favorite local team get the same happiness from a championship as those that live within the city limits. At least I think so, based on my vague childish memories of the Twins winning a championship.
I'm not sure Gordon realized that if you live in a state with one pro team per league, you're rooting for that team wherever you live in the state. So to talk about Milwaukee fans suffering, without mentioning that the majority of them are likely Packer fans (and may care more about the Packers than the Bucks or Brewers), is a bit of a misrepresentation. It's not like Florida, where your location might make a difference whether you root for the Dolphins, Bucs, or Jags--the Packers are really Wisconsin's team more than one city's team.
