00:02 - You know, the Minnesota Wild, there was the North Stars.
00:05 The North Stars never won.
00:07 The Minnesota Wild have never won.
00:09 They've come back and they're just mediocre.
00:11 The Minnesota Vikings, passionate fans.
00:14 Minnesota are a lot like Buffalo.
00:16 Buffalo, of course, lost the four Super Bowls.
00:20 The Vikings were the bills of the seventies.
00:22 The Vikings used to get to the Super Bowl
00:24 like almost every second year in the seventies
00:26 and lose in the Frank Tarkenton era, right?
00:29 And when the Dolphins were good and the Steelers were good
00:32 and the Raiders were good in the seventies.
00:34 And so, like I said, the Minnesota teams,
00:38 the Vikings have been nothing but disappointment
00:40 throughout their entire history
00:41 and frustration for their fans.
00:43 And we all know the Vikings have hardcore fans, right?
00:46 So they've been frustrated.
00:48 The T-Wolves have never done anything.
00:50 The hockey team sucks and they love hockey there.
00:54 And the Minnesota Twins, the Twins won, what?
00:57 30 years ago, you know what I'm saying?
01:00 20, 27 years ago, whatever the hell it was.
01:03 So we're talking about a city that starved, right?
01:06 Like people talk a lot about Buffalo.
01:08 People talk about Cleveland and sort of like some cities
01:11 that are known for heartbreak and losing.
01:14 But Minneapolis-St. Paul has been right there.
