For once, you and I agree on something.

Some of it does fall on the players, but ultimately, it is the coaches job to get them to play a certain way.

It's that same dumbass who keeps starting polls and trashing him

if you have MN drives really low on the list you haven't spent enough time in other places. i used to think we sucked too. relatively speaking in terms of turn signal usage, inclement weather driving, and general consideration we're well above average vs. places i've lived.

JamesRanger · 02-27-2013, 02:15 PM

Turn signals aren't seen as a challenge in Minnesota at least.

Worst to best drivers in large cities I've been to:

Chicago-->LA-->Boston-->Nashville--------->MPLS->Milwaukee

tomgilbertfan · 02-27-2013, 03:03 PM

Orlando and California drivers are the worst I've encountered.

In my experience, albeit limited, Boston drivers have been worse than Chicago. Both are infuriating though.

The first week my fiancee had lived in Chicago we saw TWO separate instances of ladies with kids, crossing AT neighborhood crosswalks, have a large suv come screaching to a halt a mere foot or two from hitting them. I am not joking. It was freakin ridiculous.

They do not stop here, they do not want to stop here. In fact, I think they speed up and actually want to smear you. The weirdest thing is that they are all the nicest people outseid their cars...

Scary and weird

New York sucks too fyi, a lot.

Jarick · 02-27-2013, 03:31 PM

Yesterday I was on an on-ramp from Downtown MPLS to 94. Two lanes, traffic signals, you know the drill.

Car in front and to the left SLAMS on her brakes, throws on the turn signal, and cuts in front of me.

On the on-ramp.

The on-ramp that merges to one lane.

Both lanes were moving normally ahead of us.
