Malaise for Minnesota
San Julius and I took a punch to the gut last week from which we’ve yet to recover. Who could’ve imagined Wolff’s professional goal was to mimic the 1993 Houston Oilers dramatic collapse vs the Buffalo Bills? Seriously, I am a chicken savant and our hens are good at what they do. However, not even…
