More (possible) Twins Sale News: LaVelle E. Neal III has article in Strib where, based on talking to "several sources," he gives his take on the potential sale of the Twins. (bullet-point version) 1. There have been double-digit inquiries about team - both local and "as far away as...

as has been discussed before, IF you believe it - Justin Gaard claims "he heard" that at MN, Football will be getting 70% of the revenue-sharing pool. that would be roughly $14.4-million. to date, I have not seen/heard any speculation on how the rest of the pool would be divided. to be...

FWIW - Fox Sports has announced that the Super Bowl will be streamed live on Tubi in 4K. (if you don't know, Tubi is a free streaming service - owned by Fox. this is the first time in my knowledge that Fox has streamed any sports on Tubi.)

if you're talking about the revenue-sharing - a final hearing to approve the 'House' settlement is scheduled for April. at that point, all of the details will supposedly be spelled out. the cap for the 1st year is $20.5-million. each school has to decide if they are going to spend to the...

in a story about this, it was claimed that this is tied in part to the new revenue-sharing money. Supposedly, Volleyball is one of the sports at MN that will receive part of the $20.5-million revenue-sharing pool. the "GM" for Volleyball will help determine how that money is distributed...

reading an article about "what's next for the Vikings" - one number just jumped out at me. if you take the 53-man roster for the final game of the season - 23 of those players will be free agents now or at the start of the new league year. that's 43% of the roster that could potentially...

I remember attending a pro wrestling card in the Twin Cities back in the early 80's. my boss at the time and I went just for shites and giggles. we're sitting there (I think at the old St. Paul Civic Center) and right behind us were some guys who were absolutely bought in. they thought this...

The International Signing Period has begun - and the Twins have the largest pool of money available with which to sign players. Here is a list of players expected to sign with the Twins: Minnesota Twins ($7,555,500)- bonus pool amount Santiago Leon, SS, Venezuela Carlos Taveras, OF, Dominican...

more sports streaming intrigue: DirecTV offering new Sports Skinny bundle: According to DirecTV’s announcement Tuesday, a consumer will be able to access all of ESPN’s channels, Fox Sports, TNT Sports, league college networks and the local broadcast networks, except for CBS at this point, for...

to be clear, I still expect O'Connell to receive a contract extension from the Wilfs. but after the last two weeks, I think it's fair to wonder if that extension is going to be for fewer years and fewer dollars than it might have been two weeks ago. this was a collapse of epic proportions...

Twins news - another player signed as a minor-league free agent. from the Strib: the club added infielder Armando Alvarez to a minor league deal, which includes an invitation to big-league camp. Alvarez, 30, made his major league debut last season, coincidentally against the Twins, playing...

tonight's game is on BTN. in the Twin Cities, it might get some viewers who are killing time before the Vikings game, but at 7pm, the share of TV sets in the TC market watching the Gophers will be less than 1%. and that is not a joke. there may not be 100 people actually watching on TV after...

two things can be true at the same time. Ben Johnson has not been a successful coach ---- AND the MN program is way behind other schools in NIL. If MN had more NIL, and Hawkins and Payne were still here, I think it's fair to suggest the team would have been better. it's a moot point...

a story in The Athletic claims that Carson Beck is getting $3-million from Miami - not the $4-million that has been reported. that's still a lot of scratch. for me, what makes the difference is that a school like MN has raised a lot of its NIL from relatively small donations. you need a...

We've heard this before department -- Tyson Fury announces his retirement from boxing. if this sounds familiar - it's because Fury also announced he was retiring in 2013 and 2017 - and returned to boxing both times. Fury is coming off two losses to Oleksandr Usyk, putting his career...

on the lighter side - was reading an article about what the Cardinals had to do in order to host the Vikings/Rams game. it included this tidbit about food - check out the numbers..... Food? State Farm Stadium was not scheduled to host another major event until Feb. 1, the Monster Energy AMA...

doesn't look like it. his bio from the U - Coaching Experience 2023-present: Minnesota - Safeties / Defensive Pass Game Coordinator 2022: Minnesota - Safeties 2020-21: Minnesota - Senior Defensive Analyst 2019: Minnesota - Quality Control 2018: Minnesota - Graduate Assistant 2017: Minnesota -...

maybe this is a semantics thing - but if he's being promoted to Defensive Coordinator, why not just say that instead of "defensive play caller?" Unless this is going to be one of those co-coordinator things like on offense, where Harbaugh is Co-coordinator with Simon but Harbaugh is the one...

I was reading an article about Beck in The Athletic. (may be the same one you're referring to) BTW, that article in The Athletic said there are reports that Beck is getting $3-million - not $4-million. still a lot. as far as Beck's timeline, the article said he won't be throwing "for a few...

as far as Plitzuweit - when hired at MN, she had only been head coach for one season at a major-level school. She had a lot of success at a mid-major school (South Dakota). She seems to know what she's doing. but I wonder - would the fan base be that excited if - for example - the Gophers...
