Circa is the absolute best property in Las Vegas.
MGM capped me at four drink tickets after wagering more than $2k at the counter. @CircaSports gave me four tickets for wagering less than that, and offered more the next time I was at the counter. Cheers to a proper sportsbook. 🍻

Grok knows.
@Dessicration79 @johnkriesel The Pohlad family, owners of the Minnesota Twins since 1984, announced on August 13, 2025, they're no longer selling the team after a 10-month exploration. They'll add minority investors but remain in control. Fans are furious, citing decades of low payrolls and profit focus over.

Keep giving the Pohlads money. I hope you have the ballpark to yourself.
My rule of thumb has always been, if you’re not attending ball games when they’re losing 90 games, don’t attend ball games when they’re winning 90 games. Stay out of “my” ballpark! 🤣 Also on the positive side for me, an empty Target Field is the best Target Field! 😊#MNTwins.

I’ve loved the Twins since I was a kid, but as long as the Pohlads own the team, I will not spend a dime on them. They don’t deserve our money. I’m canceling the ticket package that I’ve had since 2017 and I hope other ticket holders do the same.

…and, at that meeting I was told that he, and the front office had never been told “no” from the Pohlads about a personnel decision because of money. 😂😂😂😂.
I didn’t get free coffee when I met with .@DaveStPeter. I chose to pay for my own. I didn’t want it to take away from the Twins payroll.

@johnkriesel There’s no way you’re getting free coffee out of this one.

We get stuck with the same, cheap, awful owners we’ve had for years, but we are told to expect a different result. 😂.

This is the biggest crock of shit that I’ve ever read. They think the fanbase is stupid. It will be more of the same thing that we’ve seen from them for their entire tenure. “We see and hear the passion from our partners, the community, and Twins fans. That passion inspires

Cooked a couple blue cheese crusted Ribeyes. Used the new North Star Char seasoning from Here’s the Deal Spice Co. and they turned out fantastic.
