Souhan: A realistic holiday wish list for even the most diehard Minnesota sports fans

Of the 832 things Minnesota sports fans should be asking for this week, here’s my top 11:

Wolves boss Tim Connelly is such a great wheeler-dealer? Let’s see him trade for someone who can improve the Wolves’ rebounding, defense and three-point shooting.

I don’t believe anyone in sports “deserves” anything. You get what you earn. You get what you get.

While I don’t believe the Vikings or their fans “deserve” a Super Bowl title, I would like to see it happen. The current iteration of the Vikings is as likable and professional as any since I came to town in 1990 to cover the team. I’d like to see this group earn a title, and I’d like to finally stop hearing Vikings fans whining about their plight. Folks, you could be without a Super Bowl title and be carrying the weight of a hundred excruciating losses, and have to live in Buffalo, Cleveland or, heaven forbid, Jacksonville. Stop drinking the mulled whine.

Sports ownership makes very rich people much richer. We don’t need to help them with tax dollars that could be better spent on … anything.
