Gophers Lose, T-Wolves Lose

7 Vikings are scheduled for the Pro Bowl today, though.

You know the game that no one cares about and very few watch?

The NFL has stated that if nobody looks like they are trying today, they'll just probably cancel the game from here on out.

Let's all hope no one tries at all.

Did I mention that the team the Wolves LOST to last night had lost SIXTEEN straight home games going into last night? We are NOT getting beat by good teams. folks. We're getting BEAT by the WORST of the WORST.

I called this blog sports and life for a reason. Sometimes (especially in Minnesota) there simply are no sports worth spending time on.

Last night, my wife and I decided to watch a movie instead. "The Other Boleyn Girl" was fascinating. King Henry thought he needed a male heir. What happened as a result of that need became one of history's greatest soap operas.  No swearing, no nudity, no on-screen violence, but "adult" in every other way.

Keeping and wielding power is no easy matter. And it always comes at great cost. A jealous older sister, seeking her own recognition, while denying the jealousy that consumed her, was placated time and again until an entire family was ruined. The emotional support they showed her only made matters worse, but they didn't realize that until it was too late. She didn't need support. She needed to be corrected. Short term "peace" was in reality the seeding of long term devastation.

It would make a great story today as well.
