Former ink-stained wretch who bought his ink in 50-gallon barrels. Now searching for perfect combo platter on the radio. MN Broadcasters HOF, class of 2022.
The most absurd part of first half: Nuggets had a coach march all way on court and go nose to nose with ref, a starting player throw a heat pack on court and they have 0 technical fouls.
Look at it this way: the embarrassment of losing at home in round one to the Giants prevents this Purple defense from giving up 60 points and 650 yards to the Niners next week in Santa Clara…
Tim Legler calls this the worst possible matchup for the Suns. Gee, wasn’t it only yesterday we were told this was the worst possible matchup for the Wolves?
Any Arraez fans still think it was a bad trade? He is obviously a great hitter but the trade was a necessity. Sonny today means nothing if Pablo doesn’t set the table. Pitching, pitching, pitching. What we’ve been saying for years.
Four years? Can it really be four years since Flip left this earth? We don't forget, Flip. We won't forget. The Funkadelic lives on. The Funkadelic is forever.
Failing, and torturing, a handcuffed citizen clearly in distress is inexcusable. Failing collectively to even show up in the aftermath is inexcusably bad leadership.
To feel the energy of a crowd, of a hungry, deserving fan base, reveling in the belief that there is finally something different going on at Target Center, is something to behold…
You get every call, you win turnover battle 2-0, you face the backup QB, you’re at home and you still choke it away in prime time. Please, Vikings bobos, tell us again that their team is better than the record indicates.
Heavy, heavy heart today. Estimable defense attorney Joe Friedberg passed away yesterday afternoon after a battle with cancer. Fearless. Fascinating. Friend to the show. Friend. We are losing too many of our finest.
Journalist Evan Gershkovich lifts his mother, Ella Milman, as US President Joe Biden looks on, on the tarmac after arriving home at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on Thursday.
Rosenbaum. Vince. Flip. Majerus. Bugliosi. Hackworth. And always, Jay Barreiro. That's who I'm thinking of tonight. The best radio audience in the business will know why.
A 14-point lead twice on the road. A kickoff return for touchdown. Two takeaways and zero turnovers. The tip, and the interception, of the day late in overtime. That is a game you simply cannot lose.

Rosenbaum. Flynn. Majerus. Flip. Hackworth. Five marvelous people who lifted me up, and were so fiercely loyal to our little radio show. I think about them tonight. And most of all, Jay and Raquel Barreiro, who were never on the show, but still influence it every day.
How did it happen that in Minnesota, in a non-isolated metro area, no less, we have come to lose our minds and buy out entire grocery stores as if we won't be able to leave home without a dog-sled until April?
"There's not 100 players better than me,'' Andrew Wiggins said. Properly enraged by the ESPN ratings slight, he then missed 14 of 18 shots, took 2 free throws, missing them both, grabbed 2 rebounds and committed 3 turnovers in 28 minutes against the Bucks.
Draymond Green will be part of TNT's "Inside the NBA" for the complete Western Conference Finals. He has not previously been part of the studio team for its on-site conference final coverage.
You cannot let your jealousy of a man who has 4 DPOY to your 1, cloud your professionalism on national TV as an employed analyst ! A current player ripping another for personal reasons who is in a conference final and you are hired to talk about the game is wrong!
I get this One Minnesota thing but can we stop pretending that there are not individuals from this state capable of contributing to the what devolved into madness the last couple nights?
@DanBarreiroKFAN
is so excited about the possibility of having one of us in the White House that he’s going to do everything he can to help get Tampon Tim elected.
There are a lot of truths to cover up. It takes a village, the size of Minneapolis in this case.
This is the stupid place we are at: My opinion is "biased" on whatever the issue if it does not align with your opinion. I am "objective" if I align with your opinion. But I'm not allowed to use the same logic to dismiss YOUR opinion. No longer are we allowed to simply disagree.
QB who hadn’t played since 9-30 and had thrown 23 passes all year comes in cold, on 4th and 11, and goes 3 for 3 for 85 yards and a touchdown that beats you deep when the only thing that can beat you is a touchdown. That’s not 0-1 in the Illinois season. That’s abominable.
Still stunning to think that the Gophers scheduled, then canceled, an interview with Eric Musselman as they locked in on Richard Pitino. They turned away, more than once, from the only major coach in America who looked upon Minnesota as a destination job. Remarkable.
Maddening part for Wolves: Ant, KAT are combined 21-for-69 from floor in two games (including horrendous 9-for-33 tonight) and Wolves lose twice by a combined 4 points. Translation: mere shooting competence from even 1 of 2 stars means at least a split if not 2-0 instead of 0-2.
Almost infuriating to see degree to which Celtics have clinically exposed Luka’s defensive inadequacies. Wolves had neither the plan nor personnel to do so.
WNBA star Maya Moore sat out the entire season last year and helped overturn the conviction of Jonathan Irons, who was serving a 50-year prison sentence.
He was finally released today.

Forget recency bias. Tonight’s game — largest comeback in Game 7 history, on road against defending champions, overcoming your franchise player going 6-for-24 — easily replaces that one as the most mythic moment in franchise history. There is no turning back now.
The notion that
@KirkCousins8
"insulted Minnesota culture" with his tweet on visiting Miami is so absurd and laughable I'm assuming it's coming from the Onion.
Second-year coach Jeff Brohm, inheriting team with 13 fewer Big Ten victories than Gophers over previous 4 years, leads Purdue over No. 2 Ohio State, 49-20. Now that’s elite.
Sneaky crucial point:
@TheJetOnTNT
suggesting that tonight was the first time he had ever seen Joker get sped up on offense. That’s the highest compliment Wolves defense, any defense, can receive.
