PFD

It's a common ailment among Minnesota sports fans. Post Football Depression or PFD.

It's gotten worse for many of us as the years go on. We used to look forward to spring training and baseball so we never worried about how bad the Gophers, Wolves, and Wild were playing. They weren't real sports anyway, they were just something to keep us mildly interested until baseball started.

But then the Twins decided they would rather have a roster of rejects and the "never was." All of a sudden, we had to live with the fact that football was the only sport worth following and that the season is six months away again.

The Wolves scored 40 points in the fourth quater last night and they STILL lost by TWO.

The illusion that it was a good game or a close game because we lost by only two would be a mistake. It was not a good game. It was not a close game. And the Wolves are just a bunch of losers.

The Gophers may have won their last two Big Ten games, but let's face it, they are just treading water until they face the better teams again. We were all just waiting for the inevitable collapse.

And the Twins have two starting pitchers who may be good.

Why do I follow fake sports like pro wrestling? Because the real ones are no longer much of an alternative and PFD needs to be treated with other sports. Even the fake ones are better than the real alternatives.
