Sorry. I'm a late riser on Saturdays.
Anyhow, updates are below the fold:
Wolves/Lynx
- Mark Remme of Timberwolves.com took a look at the NBA Awards this season and where the Wolves fit in by comparison (and yes, he mentioned David Kahn finishing 10th).
- Mike Bass talks about ineptitude in Minnesota professional sports, but only briefly mentions the Lynx, and doesn't mention the Swarm or the Minnesota Stars FC. (Thanks to TMiss for the find)
