OT: MN Athlete Popularity Contest

Post #1 » by **Klomp** » Sat Jun 6, 2009 4:39 pm

How would you rank them. And I'm talking about players who are currently on the teams.

1. Joe Mauer
2. Adrian Peterson
3. Justin Morneau
4. Jared Allen
5. Marion Gaborik/Mikko Koivu
6. Al Jefferson

Thats about what I'm thinking a lot would say right now, and I might even be giving Al the benefit of the doubt.

Perhaps this is the problem with the wolves. We can argue Al's talent and ability to be a foundational player in pure basketball sense, but we lack the player that an average fan cheers for. Love has the outgoing personality that in time we could see be the fan fav. Brewer is very charismatic and if he recovers then he can have that fan base?

It is strange that the best coach in MN (other than Class 1A) is a college coach and not the pro coach.

Rev, were you just pimping up your Varsity coach? HA! :-)

I love it.

Pretty sure Tubby wouldn't go over well in the Pros. Kevin Love would slap that scowl off his face.

1. mauer, without question
2. ad
3. morneau

do wild fans even like Gaborik? despite the talent, I'm not so sure he's considered a fan favorite. I would almost argue Boogaard over him in terms of popularity.

9. chris kluwe
10. denny hocking
11. al jefferson
