  2. On Sunday night I tried to visit my brother at the U of M hospital (he's got CF, is in for an issue related to that). I was heading East on 94 from St. Paul, and the Huron exit was backed up onto the freeway, so I bypassed and went around to the 10th avenue bridge. I turned right on University and... was promptly stuck in traffic for literally an hour. We moved about a mile and a half in that hour. And then I literally could not turn to go to the hospital because that road was closed in order to help the flow of traffic.

    Apparently there was a Loons game.

    Is traffic always that bad for events at TCF Stadium? Who designed that traffic flow? At one point we all had to merge left so that a parking ramp could empty out, then 95% of traffic was trying to merge right, directly into the newly added ramp traffic, so that people could get to 94. It seemed like a horrible design. What was the thought process there?

      1. I don't understand why traffic was backed up getting off of 94. The game was almost done, and that was the opposite flow of traffic!

          1. No construction on 94 itself, and it was just the Huron exit into the East Bank area that was backed up (all the other lanes were flowing well). Maybe there was some construction just off the exit too? Either way... ugh.

  4. Is it weird that I think a rookie playing his 3rd game might be a better fit than a certan max contract guy for this Wolves team?

    2. To add to this, it is extremely frustrating that this could be a team that is fun to watch and root for but instead they are coached by a joy sucking, bellowing ogre and continue to play a slimy piece of crap big minutes who is no where near a good player.

    3. It is not weird to think.

      I think if Flip were alive, he would have unlocked Wigs full potential, or at least 3/4s of it.

    4. I feel like best case scenario for the Wolves is that they keep Butler the rest of the season, lose him in FA, and convince everyone they have to rebuild because they lost Butler, and someone holding cap space for next summer misses all their FA targets and panic trades for Wiggins to appease marketing/ownership that they made a big move. Then try to moneyball some pieces to put around KAT. KAT’s no guarantee, but Wiggins strikes me as the NBA’s Delmon Young.

      1. I've been using the Delmon/Wiggins comparison since Wiggins' rookie year. I keep hearing how talented and young Wiggins is, but it never shows up in the games.

        Maybe they could do a sign-and-trade with Butler at the end of the season. I'm not that up on the NBA contract rules.

    1. I saw the P4K review this morning. That was some vintage Pitchfork salt, though of course nothing will ever beat the Jet "review".
