I was scouring the internet last night in hopes of finding some way in which my beloved Minnesota Timberwolves were not going to suck this coming year. Turns out, not really gonna happen. But I did find a couple of very interesting things.
First, I found out that Mark Madsen is indeed still a professional basketball player.
Second, that the T’Pups are paying him $2,840,000 next year to gyrate and yell really loudly on the sidelines.
Well it turns out he is also the teams unofficial ambassador. Due to the recent findings that prized point guard Ricky Rubio is most likely going to stay in Spain for another year or two. The Mad Dog decided to take it upon himself to get Ricky here now, by penning him a letter in his native tongue.
You know I don’t speak Spanish.
Anyways, I like to think that it reads something like this:
Salutations Richard,
My name is Mad Dog Madsen. I play for the Minnesota Timberwolves. I would like it very much if you would come play with us next year for a number of reasons. To begin with, it is the last year of my contract and I don’t have time for you to wait over in Europe (lord knows I won’t get an extension LOL!!!!). In addition to that, I’m already the outcast of the team and it would be neat if there was a really young kid who didn’t speak english so that I would feel more comfortable around the rest of the gang. Anyways if you do come I will teach you some sick dance moves.
Love, Mr. Dog
I guess you have a lot of time to learn spanish when you dont have to worry about playing or anything.
Needless to say I think this is gonna do it. How could ricky turn that down.
