Attention, shivering Minnesota residents: You need to turn down your thermostats because it's allegedly too hot here; also, asthmatic football star Mike Wallace took less money to play in Miami because it's too freakin' cold here

Report says Vikings offered Mike Wallace most, but he chose Miami weather - TwinCities.com

It's always easy for paranoid Minnesotans to blame the weather when top free agents sign with warm-weather teams instead of our frozen-tundra favorites.
In the case of wide receiver Mike Wallace, that was exactly the case.
Wallace, who has asthma, signed a five-year, $60 million deal with the Miami Dolphins shortly after free agency began March 12. He wanted to head south to warmer weather after playing four seasons in Pittsburgh, his father said.
"The (Vikings) had come to the point where they were telling him, 'You don't have to live here; just be here during the season,' " Wallace's father, Mike Jr., said in an interview with the Miami Herald. "He wanted to get out of that snow and cold weather."

The article headline on my hardcopy of today's Pioneer Press reads "Vikings had the cash, but Miami had the climate".
