What is it with Minnesota and their obsession with the Rocky steps?
You would think they would've learned by now ... guess not.
In case you don't remember where this originated from, let's throw it back to Jan. 21, 2018.
The day of the NFC Championship Game, where the Vikings wanted to 'take over' Philadelphia. I guess their definition of taking over is a really tight camera angle showcasing their 20(ish) fans on the infamous art museum steps.
What they wanted us to see:
Yes, those are Vikings fans doing the "SKOL" chant on the Rocky steps 👀

Funny enough, that wasn't even the most embarrassing moment for Minnesota that weekend. Soon after, the Eagles demolished the Vikings and then went on to win the Super Bowl in Vikings' territory. That, I'm sure you remember.
Well, now the Timberwolves are joining in on the Minnesota fun on the Rocky steps. Wait, is fun the right word? Let's substitute that with embarrassment - Yeah, that sounds better.
Anyways, check it out:

I know I'm not the only one who thoroughly enjoys when Philadelphia teams beat Minnesota, so let's hope the Sixers do just that on Wednesday night.
