For stealing our storm name, you probably deserve having the polyester (or whatever it is) roof of your football stadium collapsing. I thought Minnesotans were supposed to be nice, but really, you are a bunch of thieves. First you steal our baseball team, the original <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yurasko.net\/wfy\/tag\/washington-senators\">Washington Senators<\/a> and now you still our storm names. HACKS! Couldn&#8217;t you have gotten Garrison Keillor to come up with something witty?<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, a football stadium should have not have a roof, so there is yet another reason why this happened. Then there is the whole begging Brett Favre to come back thing, how&#8217;d that work out for you?<\/p>\n<p>As punishment, I think that the game between the Vikings and the New York Giants, already rescheduled for Monday, should be moved to the Meadowlands in New Jersey.
