If the Vikings trade for Tim Tebow, it might help swing the Linden deal.

Raving about! Are you kidding me sid. Even when the wolves were in the playoffs they still took a back seat to all the other sports in town. The NBA is the WWE of professional sports.Boring check out stub hub you can buy a ticket to just about any wolves game for 1 dollar.

It is nice to see our WNBA Champion Lynx getting some mention, even if it was only part of one sentence. Perhaps they will get more attention after they repeat as Champions.

Reality is nothing has changed with the Wolves, except the games are a little closer. Unless they win attendance will revert back to previous years

So now the Bagman is against freedom of speech (church member should not make comment about Ziggy) and freedom of the press (Star-Tribune should not put comment on front page). If the Vikings do not get a new stadium, this guy will be one of the primary reasons. What a piece of work!

I see two of Rubios boyfriends made it to the game... couple of drunk yuppies who can't handle a few beers?

What the heck is Sid talking about??? I have no doubt that Glen Taylor is very happy with the success of the Lynx, but the T-Wolves have had ONE good year in the 22 years. That's it. This team has been one of the most poorly run operations in pro sports, and just because they have one new exciting player Rubio and a very good player in Love means nothing. If one of these guys goes down they are right back to where they started. They will not make the playoffs this year. They will offer love a max-contract and then be hamstring in up coming years because Taylor will not want to pay luxury tax by pushing the payroll. Also, all of the Wolves problems are Taylor's fault because they were stripped of 3 first rd. draft picks because of the Joe Smith deal. And that just goes to show how much Taylor knows about basketball, he thought he would be 'sneaky' and sign Smith to a secret deal, but it wasn't needed because Smith was terrible and no one else even wanted him for anything close to what the Wolves offered. Taylor is not as bad an owner as the Pohlads, but he's even more inept.

Sid, look at your own papers poll today. The public does NOT want the stadium at the Linden Ave site.

Only Sid could consider a 3-7 team and a franchise in a league that nobody cares about to be "hitting the jackpot". Also, I like the guy that took a shot at Wilf! Why would anyone feel the need to apologize for that comment?
