Links of the Day 6/18/13
This Tuesday feels as though it should be significantly later in the week.
Minnesota is cursed, and therefor, so too is Justin Morneau.
If Tim Tebow had wanted, he may have ended up as an Angel. Like, an Anaheim/Los Angeles Angel, not some sort of hackneyed attempt at religious humor.
Both the Colts and Vikings had a player on this list of hardest hitters.

I don’t want to sound like another member of a tortured fanbase, but Minnesota’s luck with injuries the past few...
