Yeah I think Shannon Sharpe was talking about how the medias response to Cams post game press conference.

Yea, Cam was skewered for that but St. Tom gets a free pass for being a total jerkweed.

Philadelphia joins New York, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles as the only cities with a team to win the World Series, Stanley Cup, Super Bowl and NBA title.

Chicago, New York, LA have multiple teams so they have a greater chance to be on those lists.

Making Philly and Boston the impressive ones.

So has anybody traded off their RAM pickup after the RAM-Vikings commercial? That was cold.

Philly might be the best of the bunch as they own TWO National Basketball Association championships from different teams:  the Warriors AND the 76'ers.

Obviously the Celtics have more championships...I'm just saying Philly has had two different NBA teams win titles.

Who cares? It was inside. People nowadays are SO wimpy

A Grand Forks native, who lives in Minneapolis, and writes for their newspaper states:

Quote

By 2001 I was an adult who could make decisions such as “winter is a terrible time to visit North Dakota” and generally stayed away during hockey season.

Kinda ironic isn't it? 

The city he was going to visit in "North Dakota" has part of it in the state he currently lives in. I often wonder if people who live in Minneapolis often get tired of people from larger warming cities making fun of them for how cold it is there and they have to pass on the favor...

Would the statement even makes sense if it wrote "Winter is a terrible time to visit Moorhead, Minnesota." 

Quote

On Friday the circumstance of helping my mom move to Florida (she, too, has now figured out winter is a terrible time to be in North Dakota) 

Good thing his mom doesn't live in East Grand Forks.

You'd think Rand lives in Florida instead of the apparent balmy heaven that is the Twin Cities.  This is actually a very common sentiment from Twin Cities folks.  They truly believe they are special, and different from all the "outstate" MN people, and my god, don't even get them going on the "Dakotas" or the Iowa and Wisconsin people.  This isn't a weather only thing either, they believe they are no different than Chicago, NYC, LA, etc. 

Nationally, the Twin Cities are seen as flyover country, Prince's home, and an ice cold place where people have funny accents and don't lock their doors.  If you watched/read national media coverage during the week of the Super Bowl, this was very evident.

I think this could be a thread split, starting with Cratter's post from Rand.
