Angry Ward Wednesday: Santa is Coming, Sanders is Staying, and Minnesota is Rocking & Rolling

NEW YORK, NY – It’s now officially one week until Christmas, so you can all start freaking out about plans, shopping, and whatever else is on your overstuffed docket. As for me, I’m going to try to grateful for what I have and let the negatives drift out to sea… tide willing. I’m also going to treat myself to an early Christmas present and keep today’s post short and sweet, like an elf. But first, I want to thank all of many friends and family members that were there for me this year and have always been there. Accepting help, emotional support, and love from others is something that a great many people simply can’t manage. If you’re one of these people, or know someone like this, I will only say: keep on trying. You may not succeed, but there’s solace to be found in trying. Now, let’s get to some sports.

Deion Staying in Colorado. Apparently, Deion Sanders (I refuse to call him by his silly coaching nickname) has made a definitive statement that he will not only be coaching the Colorado Buffaloes next year, but maybe forever. I don’t really care, to be quite honest. The only reason I’m even mentioning this is because Sanders made this declaration on The Pacman Jones Show (???). That is IT! Management won’t even give me so much as my own podcast? I personally think I’ve paid my dues at this point. Let’s f**king go!

Conor McGregor Agrees to Fight Logan Paul. Two of the biggest a-holes living will be fake fighting in India sometime next year. This is what qualifies as news these days. These phony-baloney bouts put me in mind of a quote from a guy who was a REAL fighter, Roberto Duran. As Manos de Piedra would say: NO MAS!

Minnesota FactsMy Vikings are 12-2 after starting the year with an over/under season win total of 6.5 and my Minnesota Wild are arguably currently the best team in hockey. What in the Land of 10,000 Lakes is going on? Strike that. Forget I asked. Just keep it coming, and keep an eye on those Timberwolves.

That’s it for me today. Wishing everyone a very Happy Holiday! Come back tomorrow for Mr. Buddy Diaz, or some reasonable facsimile.

Angry Ward, who has admirers at the New York Times, is the quintessential angry sports fan but for one exception... he's flat-out funny. And the angrier he gets, the more amusing his work becomes. Psychiatrists say, "Angry Ward's 'anger' is a direct result of "Bronx/Mets syndrome: growing up in the Bronx as a Mets fan." As if that weren't enough, his Minnesota North Stars abandoned him for Dallas, forcing him to embrace The Wild the way Nancy Pelosi embraces Mitch McConnell at charity events. And while his Vikings only tease him with success, his Golden State Warriors actually win these days. A-Dubya is MTM's longest-tenured indentured servant, its Larry David and quite simply, "The Franchise." (Junoir Blaber disputes this). Vent, curse and giggle with him on Angry Ward Wednesdays.
