    Gregg Popovich - Steps Down as HC

    The way I remember it, Pop had someone foul Shaq like a second after the opening tap. Shaq was completely befuddled with a "WTF!?!?" reaction. The camera's then cut to Pop & Spurs bench who were all just laughing their butts off. It has been a set up. Shaq got the joke too.

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    It's hardly revolutionary for players being on the IL for well more than a month to rehab in the minors for 7-10 days to: - Demonstrate they are physically able to play and not immediately go on the IL yet again predicting additional roster moves. - Get accustomed to as near as MLB pitching as...

    Yeah PK 30th out of 32 in the NHL. Worst ever in franchise history. Uffda.

    If the Twins were in a Pennet Race (or had any remote hope of getting in one) I would agree with getting Royce back to the Show ASAP. They aren't. Make sure he's ready, both physically and hitting before activating him.

    All Things Immaculate Grid-related (MLB, NBA, NFL)

    It took me over 15 minutes to recall Chris Archer for today's Pirates/Rays square. Whew. Day 2 only. Sergio Romo (Giants) and Crime Dog McGriff (.300 BA Season) worked for the rest of the Rays categories.

    Rickey Henderson dead at age 65

    Yeah good luck to a HS catcher trying to throw him out stealing. My hunch is also when he retired he was the last active player who played at Met Stadium.

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    A reasonable level headed person can determine Rodgers has not had a decent season since 2021. The Packers got better after he left. The Jets won more games without him in 2023 than with him in 2024. 40 year old QBs not named Tom Brady just don't lead NFL Teams to Super Bowls.

    9 straight Playoff Series the Wild have been "unlucky".

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    The Twins Playoff Game losing streak of 18 was undoubtedly epically futile. That was accumulated over 9 Postseason appearances by the Twins. The Wild have now also lost 9 Postseason Series in a row. That's pretty brutal. Understatement.

    I'd put it more on Nyquist for not dragging the toe of his skate on the Blue Line in G5.

    Rickey Henderson dead at age 65

    See post #13 for more illumination on the 796 walks. The Kurkjian stuff I was referencing was from his appearance on the Tony Kornheiser podcast, FYI, shortly after Rickey passed away.

    You're presuming the Vikings would want Rodgers for that role. I don't think they would, assuming good health for the current QBs on the roster.

    ACC considering reducing conference basketball schedule to help boost the league's NCAA Tournament profile

    The bigger issue for the ACC (IMO) was having ended the Big 10 Challenge, now they have one with the SEC. SEC - 14 ACC - 2 That's has a significant effect on a Conferences overall resume. Going down to 18 Conference Games won't solve that deficiency.

    ACC considering reducing conference basketball schedule to help boost the league's NCAA Tournament profile

    In the aggregate that may be true for ACC teams, but in your example the 20 Game Conference Schedule seemed to work out just fine last year for the Blue Devils.

    Interesting contest going on against the Guards this afternoon. Twins were trailing 2-0 in the 6th when Rain Delay #1 occurred. Tarps were removed and they rallied in the 7th, including an RBI single by Vasquez. Now tied 2-2 in the T8th with Rain Delay # 2 in progress. Twins have 2 on and 2...

    ACC considering reducing conference basketball schedule to help boost the league's NCAA Tournament profile

    Can't the same thing be accomplished by reducing 2 cupcakes from the Non-Conference schedule and replace them with high quality non-conference opponents?

    Yes, we can. That was my point all along (historically) in terms of success in April and beyond for both franchises.
