So earlier Monday, I tweeted, “Why is anyone even talking about Antonio Brown and the Vikings?”
That was probably a bit disingenuous because I know why: It’s a fun thing to banter about. It’s February. Any time a quality (and in this case great) player is available via trade, it’s fun to wonder if that guy might wind up on your team.
The Timberwolves did NOT help things (again, harmless fun) by tweeting a picture of Brown in a Wolves uniform.
Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes picked a flame thrower instead of a fire extinguisher (again, still having fun) with a tweet welcoming Brown to Minnesota last week.
