It's Comedy Day for the Worst Sports Columnist in America. Vecsey calls today's column "Some Rimshots, Please," though if you laughed at a single one of his Yakov Smirnoff-caliber one-liners, that's one more than me.
Then there's this nonsensical paragraph:
The way the T'Wolves, the Off-Target Center and ESPN reacted Friday night, I expected the ghost of Larry O'Brien to show up and cancel the rest of the playoffs. Far be it from me not to give Minny [sic] its props after worming its way out of the first round following seven successive failures, but wasn't this a 1-8 matchup with eight facing a summer fling without its best player?
Why'd they react that way? 'Cause it was the first series win in franchise history, on the back of the league MVP, and the team's first realistic shot at a title. And how is a 4-1 victory in a best-of-seven series "worming out of the first round?"
Oh, and Petey- you're white, and you're in your 50s- please immediately stop using phrases like "give Minny its props." And while you're at it, cut out the "Minny" too.
