In the team's press release... they misspelled the team's name.
"Today, the Minnesota Timberwovles parted ways with President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas. As an organization, we remain committed to building a winning team that our fans and city can be proud of."
Lol. Misspelling the team's name in its own press release is about as pathetic as it gets! The person responsible for that press release should be fired immediately.

Agreed. Along with anybody else who proofed it.
[Note: And I'd be remiss to the teachings of my high school English teacher if I didn't mention ending the quote with a preposition. I know writing rules are a bit more lax -- and that's actually good sometimes -- but it still looks funny to me with so many easy fixes available to avoid it.]

I couldn't agree more, Abe. Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I cannot put.

Don't know what's worse. The Timberwolves spelling the Timberwolves wrong. Or Abe thinking it's 2001 :)
