It was just before 8 a.m. when a trooper tried to help, only to smell alcohol.
That’s such a Minnesotan thing...

richardmolby:
So, really? You gonna confront any of us “fair weather fans” after tonight’s crap-fest and explain why we “always need to be there” for these heartbreaking pinheads? Screw that. I’ll root for the same losers in LA as in Minneapolis.
