As an old lady in line at an Arby’s once told me, “patience is a virtue”.

All I have to say is it has been a loooong time since a MN sports playoff team has been this dominating and fun to watch. This is surreal and my inner skeptic that has developed over time to help me cope with MN sports ineptitude is feeling uneasy.

From what I can find, the Twins' are responsible for $4MM of Margot's salary. Michael A Taylor is earning $4MM this year. Taylor currently has a 0.6 WAR in 91 PA's and Margot has a -0.6 WAR in 66 PA's. Nevermind they had to give up something to acquire Margot. Relatively small potatoes, but I...

Get some 3M Worktunes and you can mow and listen to the game at the same time. I often wait to mow on the weekends until the game is on so I can listen while mowing...

We sure could use the "unbalanced schedule" back. An extra 6 games against this squad would really help.

Holy cow this White Sox team buckles like a wet paper bag.

You are right in that they can't really "fix it" at this point. So your assertation is correct. So maybe if the tweets were just "F U for taking their money instead of lining up a better situation" that would be better as it's more accurate? The message is essentially the same; the Twins F'd up...

They (the Twins, and thus the Pohlads) signed a 1-year contract with Bally's to carry the games in 2024. Bally's is a lame duck situation, and the Twins knew this last year. Instead of taking their lumps last year and spending the year to line something up better in 2024, they sat on their...

I went over to my friends house one day and he was super excited. He showed me that he purchased a VHS copy of Titanic (I had no idea why this would be exciting to any high school aged boy). He then proceeded to show me all of the Kate Winslet nude scenes (he had the timestamp marked down to...

I caught about 10 mins of The 10 Commandments with Charlton Heston on TV a while back (maybe Easter?). Figure I should probably watch that some time. I'll have to request it from the library.

Every super hero movie except Spiderman (Tobey McGuire version- I was in high school and all my friends were going so I went with) and Guardians of the Galaxy (my in laws paid to stream it while I was there). Although I think I saw one of those Superman movies with Christopher Reeve when I was...

Glad they put this together a month ago. Really comes in handy now. Maybe he can just blur out his Minnesota gear and use it at the next place.

They tried that when they drafted Desmond Ridder in the third round. Then they gave up on him almost immediately and traded him. The whole situation is perplexing. From the outside you assume there is some grand plan that is logical. It's entirely possible they just fell in love with a certain...

That's not how it works in the NFL if you're a first round QB. Either you're "the guy" or you're not. They used a fair amount of draft capital to get him. They will give him every opportunity to be successful, as generally speaking, Kwesi and KOC's jobs are riding on it. One of two things will...

Harbaugh is somewhat similar to PJ; generally speaking, he's pretty conservative. I've posted this before, but look at Andrew Luck's stats. Harbaugh coached him his first two years at Stanford. At the time, Luck was viewed as a generational-level talent at QB. And even with that, Harbaugh still...

The people in charge in ATL are getting fired eventually for that move. Cousins has a no-trade clause, so they can't just move him to whomever offers the most. If Penix sits 2 years behind Kirk, he'd be 26 his first year playing. It's like they gifted us the tampering pick swap, as the Vikes...

Averaged 1.1apg in 22.7mpg, so at least how he was used at Oregon it would appear he was not a primary ball handler/distributer. Don't know anything about his game, however. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/brennan-rigsby-1.html Edit: looking at his (Junior years) stats, they are...

If there's anything I've learned in the new age of college athletics, it's that very little of the movement makes sense. For every guy that leaves for a bag of money (a reason that is at least easily understandable), you have 5 guys leaving that make absolutely no sense.

Fair enough, pending some bonuses, it would appear he's made roughly $1.2MM this year. Still not a bad paycheck.

This is the one reason I have hope. College coaches held all the power before this new era of free agency and NIL. They have lost a ton of power to the players. If there's anything we know about human nature is that people love power and money. They're still getting money, but no longer have...
