From the venerable Onion newspaper

I think the Onion has been picking the low hanging fruit that is MN sports for the past year.  A few of my recent favs;

Twins Shocked To Learn You Can Score 2 Runs In Same Play

Vikings Sticking With McNabb Because They Hate Him

Don't forget in The Onion's "Our Dumb World," they label Minnesota as one of the bullshit states.  This is nothing new.  I suspect since the paper was created in a UW-Madison dorm room and expanded from there that they like to pick on Minnesotans.
