Wolves Updates 1/23 Part 2

John George/Perham Enterprise Bulletin sits down for an interview with Wolves mascot Crunch.  
 
 
  
Taylor bought the Wolves in 1995 for $88.5 million. Today, the
franchise is worth $308 million, the Twin Cities’ second-richest pro

right now, a prime example of just how whack pro sports is — you make

From Bill Ingram/Hoopsworld:

  • Why not force-feed Gerald Green starter’s minutes to accelerate his learning curve? Or is he already a lost cause?
  • Is McHale keeping his job only because he has photos of Glen Taylor indulging in some kind of disreputable behavior?
