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

    Twins Alert on the Grid. I finally pulled the trigger on Reboulet. I was hoping to use him in a Twins/C sometime, as he was pressed into service once. Middle and Right columns are New Players, except 1. Thought Gura might be as well, however he's a repeat, but 5 is a good haul. Webb is a...

    CBS is ending ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ next year

    I don't think it will be a "person" replacing Colbert in that time slot as well as the one after it. CBS is getting completely out of the post-late night news talk show game. No idea how they will use the time slots. Game show? Scripted? Entertainment/magazine? Reruns? Comedians? More news?

    Reusse: Timberwolves owners’ plan for development around a new arena seems like a very suburban idea

    Regarding the completion of 494, in the end when it's finished, I don't know if it will add capacity. I only brought it up because in its current status, it is a bleeping mess, been going on long with seemingly no end in sight.

    Best female singimg voice of the 70s and 80s.

    Linda Ronstadt excelled at Pop, Rock, Country, R&B, Latin...whatever. If she decided to front a punk band, no doubt it would have been worth it. How Do I Make You

    Reusse: Timberwolves owners’ plan for development around a new arena seems like a very suburban idea

    If that's where the land is available and development opportunities, then yeah, Eagan, assuming the 494/35W exchange is ever completed. Just saying, it's possible not probable. Get a combo platter with the Wild, it moves closer to the probable potential.

    Reusse: Timberwolves owners’ plan for development around a new arena seems like a very suburban idea

    I'm starting to think a Wolves/Wild shared facility in perhaps Eagan is well within the realm of possibility.

    The Gophers need to get into the statue-erecting business too outside of Huntington Bank Stadium.

    That exactly why I put the qualifier in bold: "...the presumed notion it made it harder for Gopher Coaches to get jocks with borderline academic credentials into Dinkytown." It was quite a Sid Hartman diatribe when GC was eliminated. Several Gopher fans buy into it hook, line & sinker.

    2025 high school football thread

    The 7 counties does seem like a logical definition. Apologies for yet another Northfield reference but it does make an interesting case study because, while the town and school district are primarily in Rice, a small part of it includes Dakota. There are substantial housing developments to...

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

    I was able to work in Matt Olson from the HR Derby participants. He's #1300 for me with 588 Grids completed. Took note he was previously with the A's, so fit in on the 1B combo. Thought I roped in another with Todd Benzinger, but nope. Repeat.

    The Grizzlies are hiring Ryan Saunders as the lead assistant coach under Tuomas Iisalo, per sources.

    Maybe 1 more win over OKC could have saved him, though the new HC probably wanted to change it up a bit regardless.

    2025 high school football thread

    Jeopardy Masters recently called Northfield a Twin City Exurb, in perhaps the easiest question ever for me personally. I was relieved a contestant buzzed in with a correct response. Nerd alert - I do take issue with the phrasing of "St Olaf & Carleton, respectively" part. Carleton was...

    The Grizzlies are hiring Ryan Saunders as the lead assistant coach under Tuomas Iisalo, per sources.

    I think "mediocre" is a very kind description of the Nugs defense.

    Interesting baseball stats

    Courtesy of today's PTI, most MLB Regular Season Games Played without appearing in the World Series at 2,831 is... ...Rafael Palmeiro. Methinks that statistic is not what is keeping him from Coopertown. Call it a hunch.

    The fiasco which is the former Oakland Athletics and their quest for a Las Vegas stadium

    While the Raiders and VGK have reaped the rewards of fans from the opposing teams filling up their Stadium/Arena respectively, I find it hard to believe the Athletics will garner a similar benefit. Just from my own experience, I have been to LV over a couple of dozen times now. All but 2 were...
