I skipped my 1pm meeting this afternoon and ran over to the Target Center to watch KG collect his MVP trophy. Being a lowly commoner, I had to watch through the glass with the rest of the cattle, but it wasn't all that bad because the crowd was unusually short so I could see ok and the arena was playing the audio through the PA system so you could hear fine. I guess the only downside would be that I had to look at the butts of the various TV cameramen for like 30 minutes. Ew.

The inside-the-glass audience was loaded with a full cadre of local sports reporters. Sid, Little Sid, Rosen, Reusse, Sanny, you name it. I saw Mike Max on my way out so I said hi. I told him to tell Sid to stop using the shut-ins as a pawn in his Victory Sports Channel argument. He laughed and said he would, but I don't really think he understood what I said. It was less of a "witty observation noted" kind of a laugh and more of a "yeah yeah, stop talking to me you freak" one.

Near the end, I tried to sneak into the 'press only' area by claiming I worked for the Minnesota Daily. I had employed this same 'technique' to great success at the big KG press conference last fall when he announced he was going to re-sign with the Wolves. It didn't work this time. Stupid Daily.
