The guy pictured above is Jon Krawczynski. Jon is an AP sportswriter from Minnesota. Last week, he wrote a column in the Star-Tribune about the the Minnesota Vikings seeking public funding for a new stadium. For some reason, he decided to use Minnesota's problem as an opportunity to take some mean spirited shots at Oklahoma City. Here is an excerpt:
The Minnesota Timberwolves were in action that night hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder. If that sounds like a sequel to "Bull Durham," it should be, but it isn't.
With bright blue and orange uniforms, a chintzy nickname and a dust-bowl hometown in the middle of nowhere, everything about this franchise screams minor league baseball.
Are there knotholes in the fenceposts ringing the Ford Center in Oklahoma City where kids can peek through to see the games?
Is there a pig that brings the game basketball out to the officials for the opening tip?
