To put things in perspective for my white friends: every single time I get in my car and go anywhere, because of police, there’s an underlying fear for my life. EVERY time I make it home safely, it’s like I’ve won the lottery. And I should never have to feel that way...
Minnesotans: Please pay close attention to all the media members, hosts, analysts, athletes on here that haven’t had a word to say about the assault on our democracy, capital incident but trashed other protests and Colin Kaepernick. They’re telling you who they are.
As much as of an idiot we see that Aaron Rodgers is, Pat McAfee is just as complicit with all of this. So gross and disgusting. Pat deserves all the criticism and scrutiny. It’s unacceptable.
I’d love to get definitive confirmation. But if Kevin McHale actually showed up to Trump’s rally in Duluth today with everything that is happening now and what Trump’s done and stands for, yeah he’s cancelled.
My fellow Americans, I just want you to know that us Minnesotans are for the most part sane and loving people. I repeat most. Please don’t hold Michelle Bachman and the My Pillow Guy against us forever. We have some crazies like all states, but please forgive us. 😊
This video shared to Facebook appears to show the incident this afternoon in Hutchinson, Minn., in which an officer was dragged by a suspect driver and hit in the head with a hammer. - The officer is in stable condition and the suspect was arrested.
Coach Zimmer taking a cheap shot at Governor Walz today about having no fans at US Bank stadium this year was silly. As if he isn’t aware that Coronavirus is getting worse each day. Absolutely tone deaf.

I find it interesting that the majority of folks that say that everyone is scared to go to downtown Minneapolis are the same people that proclaim that they don’t live in fear…
I know that Thom Brennaman apologized, but in that television clip, listen to not only what he said but how he said it. The tone that he talked in was pure hatred for the LGBTQ community.
I say this, with all due to respect to everybody following me, but if you’re not about building up our community, helping one another, looking to lead our country out of chaos during a global pandemic, then stay your punk ass at home. And wear a mask please.
I’m just going to say it, the Vikings got fleeced in that trade. You don’t let a team trade up TWENTY spots and not get more. To a division rival also. I want to hear the rationale for this.

We are all hurting. To my Minneapolis brothers and sisters protesting, be safe, and be smart. If it’s not helping George Floyd’s family and our community in a positive way, don’t do it. I know we’re angry and need to vent. Be constructive with our protest.
#GeorgeFloyd
Please stay home. Don’t wait until 8pm to leave. I’m asking for peace tonight. Praying for everyone’s safety. We’ve been through enough.
#JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
With the curfew and everything, I went to Whole Foods to grab some things just a little bit ago. I bumped into my guy Devean George. We didn’t even have to say any words at first. We just looked at each other and our eyes said it all. The stress is real and our hearts heavy.
I know the Timberwolves haven’t won a lot of games, but y’all not going to treat Glen Taylor, who saved the team from moving in 1994, like he’s James Dolan or Donald Sterling. Stop that...
NIH Director Francis Collins in response to Chris Wallace's gotcha questions about Biden's booster shots comments: "We're trying to do the right thing... maybe we ought to be talking more about that than about whether the president said this a month ago & FDA said this on Friday"
This is real. There are people purposely inciting and creating conflict that are destroying Minneapolis buildings that are not from here. This is not spin. This is happening all over the country.
#JusticeForAll
The “I need to do more research” line is officially void for any Minnesota Vikings player to use. After Dr. Michael Osterholm visited the team today, that’s not a valid excuse to not be vaccinated. Just tell everybody you’re not doing it no matter what.

TEN people in Boulder, Colorado went to a grocery store today and were murdered. I don’t care what anybody says, we have a gun control problem in America. I know it’s not breaking news, but this crap is unacceptable. 10 people gone forever. I want action, not prayers.
#Boulder
I don’t ever want to see a “we should’ve taken LeMelo Ball over Anthony Edwards” tweet again. Just shut up. Either you’re a hater or just trolling.
#RaisedByWolves
The fact that some Americans lined the streets of Dallas in anticipation of JFK Jr. reappearing from the dead today confirms that we are truly done as a society.
The grief, the anger, the sadness, I understand it. The looting and destruction, no. I don’t live in Brooklyn Center/Park, but I’m in the area all the time. Destroying your hood doesn’t help anything.
I’m done being nice and cordial with some of my local media colleagues who don’t get it or don’t have a clue. I don’t care what outlet you work for. I don’t mind speaking with you when you’re out of line. An example:
I’ve known Ryan Saunders since he was a young kid. Always classy and professional in how he deals with everyone. Wishing him and his young family nothing but the best.

Obama to Mandela Barnes: "Get ready to dig up that birth certificate .... that's the good old days. Remember when that was the craziest thing that people said?"
BTW, it’s not exactly “media pitchforks” about Kirk Cousins/COVID-19 when his own head coach, Mike Zimmer, has been crushing his own quarterback and team over vaccinations for the entire world to see!!
During the pandemic, this 73-yr old dad was in a bad car accident, and hospitalized.
When it was time to go to rehab, the hospital arranged for his son - a paramedic in another city — to be the one to transport him.
Here’s when they saw one another.🌎❤️
No reason to play Justin Jefferson or Kirk Cousins this weekend. Risking an injury, especially to JJ (your best player and face of your franchise) in a meaningless finale isn’t wise. There’s no upside to it.
There should be an immediate investigation as to why you would hold this meeting with this man. Since when did Mike Lindell become an expert on election security?
Today our team met with Mike Lindell of My Pillow. We discussed the 2020 Election. He was very impressed by our efforts & said that Alabama had the best election system & the safest procedures he had seen in America! We look forward to our next meeting!
#EasyToVoteAndHardToCheat
I’ll say here what I said on my radio show last night: Sergeant Anna Hedberg of the Minneapolis Police Federation should resign after her comments about the residents of the city. You can’t reform her. Her mindset before ever interacting with citizens is frightening.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have to do a better job of marketing Anthony Edwards. For him to not be in the top 15 NBA jerseys sold while Tyrese Maxey and Lamelo Ball are is unacceptable.
#RaisedByWolves
Just like I just said on the show, for Brian Peters, Executive Director of the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association to talk about compliance won’t lead to death, that is a slap in the face to the family of Philando Castile. He should publicly apologize. Yes I said it.
I want to publicly thank
@roccodbaldelli
for all of his support with all the issues that are going on in our community. He gets it and I enjoy the interactions I’ve had with him, even though Covid-19 has made them more limited. A genuine, caring, supportive human being.
Minnesota Republican governor candidate Scott Jensen on MPR on his proposal to blow a $15b hole in the education budget by repealing the state income tax: "We can cut a lot of fat."
Condolences on the passing of Tonya Puckett-Miller, the ex-wife of MLB Hall of Famer and MLB great Kirby Puckett. My thoughts and prayers go out to their children, Kirby Jr. and Catherine.

Wow, I’m so sad. I’ve just learned my favorite caller since I’ve been at
@wccoradio
Diana Jensen from Hutchinson has passed away. Never met her but she called every night. Loved the Twins. I become fond of the fun people I talk 2 on the radio. My condolences to her entire family.
This is one of the most outrageous comments I’ve seen in awhile. Unbelievable. How can a college campus be “too diverse?” The letters you’ve received sir are from racists.
The family of Deshaun Hill Jr. has just arrived to the Minneapolis North-Hopkins. The game has been briefly stopped and the entire gymnasium has acknowledged them. A very emotional scene.
