The Outsider

Potential Vikings owner Reggie Fowler was back in town and back in front of cameras today trying explain away the "oversights" on his resume. The local media continues to refuse to give Fowler the benefit of the doubt and that could be for several reasons.

It could be hangover from the Tom Clancy situation or it could be because some people really want to see Glen Taylor, a native Minnesotan, get the team. The Clancy situation I can understand, the Taylor situation I cannot.

One of my high school classmates opined that if the resume situation does mean Fowler is out, that at least there is another potential buyer (Taylor) waiting in the wings. So you are telling me that we as Minnesotans are apalled that Fowler would lie on his resume, but we're perfectly A-OK with giving the team to a man who broke NBA rules by signing a player to an illegal contract under the table which caused the team to lose several draftpicks therefore explaining why half of the Timberwolf team will be housed in an assisted living center within five years.

This must be that Minnesota nice that everyone always talks about shining through.
