Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 My sister got one of those gigs driving VIPs around Minneapolis to their various media dates and appearances. Yesterday, she was assigned to Merrill Hodge and Kurt Warner. Today? She picked up Aaron freakin' Donald at the airport and has him until 6pm. Pretty cool.

Heimdallr Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I've seen multiple black SUVs with tinted windows and massive TMT logos driving around my neighborhood in EP.... I'm pretty sure Floyd Mayweather is staying at a house somewhere in my neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Floyd Mayweather is staying at a house somewhere in my neighborhood. This is false. TMT in this case stands for Teenage Mutant Turtles. Like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) except they didn't care much about learning ninja skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Nothing says home like the feel of your favorite chair, and I’m finally sitting in it again, after a nine-day excursion to the land of 10 thousand lakes. Minnesota became my second-favorite place, just behind the spot where that chair sits; the people are both friendly and authentic, the food is both great and plentiful (especially at Mancini’s Char House in St. Paul), and the cold is both temporary and invigorating. The entire region should be proud of the way everyone handled the entire Super Bowl experience, especially since it would have been very easy to be salty about the Vikings coming tantalizingly close to playing in the game. The magnificence of the stadium justifies another Super Bowl; a climate that will include endless whining and current-temperature screen-shotting from some members of the media counts as a bonus. So congratulations to Minnesota, the Vikings, and the NFL. You put on a unique and memorable event, from a fan-friendly Radio Row experience to an easily-traversed Twin Cities, to a seamless Super Bowl Sunday.

I do think it's a unique experience to having the SB in a northern climate and something that should happen at least once every decade. People at work think I'm crazy, but every time it drops below 20 here in KC, I miss the experience of the cold. I've always said that the cold, at the very least, lets you know you're alive.
