The crazy story of the worst sports curse in America...

Minnesota hasn’t won a major men’s pro sports championship since 1991. No Super Bowl. No NBA Finals. No World Series. No Stanley Cup.

From the missed field goal that shattered the 1998 Vikings, to Brett Favre’s tragic interception in 2009, to the Twins’ cursed rivalry with the New York Yankees, this is more than bad luck. This is America’s longest active sports curse, at 124 seasons in length.

Along the way, we revisit Game 163 at the Metrodome, the collapse of the dome itself, Joe Mauer’s MVP run, Adrian Peterson in his prime, and how the Minneapolis Lakers became the LA dynasty that crushed the Timberwolves’ hopes.

It’s the story of a state that keeps believing... even when everything falls apart.
