Jeez, you'd think Pohlad could afford a player or two, not to mention Taylor either.

[DonBo]

Wouldn't you think he'd like to see a winner one more time before he dies and takes those BILLIONS with him?

[IFallsRon]

Carl is taking a beating these days. He's got a lot of commercial property with failing businesses that aren't making him any money.

[Harmonica Bear]

I don't think he will have to resort to ramen noodles or mac and cheese for dinner anytime soon...

Yep they should waste their money on a bunch of overpaid jocks!

[zamboni]

Yeah I remeber when McCombs owned the Vikes-him, Pohlad and Taylor were all on the list. Not bad- 3 of the 4 major sports teams

[beer batter]

I don't think anyone can complain about Taylor not spending enough money. Blame McHale for mismanaging it.

[Hammer Handle]

The MN team owners are not getting rich off the teams, they buy the teams for they are the only people that can afford them.

Why have a "business" that brings in $100M and spend $120M to maintain it? Easy for us to sya when "they have the money".

Just be glad they are still in MN!
