Props to the way
@JJettas2
handled contract negotiations over the past two offseasons. He didn't whine publicly. Didn't demand a trade. Didn't "unfollow" the Vikings on Social Media. Didn't send cryptic messages. He handled it like a true Professional.
Regardless of what Governor Walz says coming up and regardless of what your local school district says, remember they are in a no-win situation regarding school decisions. It's impossible to make everyone happy.
This is war now. We need to press pause on the George Floyd protests & weed out the outsiders. Everyone needs to stay home tonight and let the authorities battle against the outsiders. We can resume the George Floyd protests once this is cleared. Authorities need to use force.
I feel like the Packers are Shooter McGavin and the Vikings are Happy Gilmore and the Vikings finally getting stability at the QB spot is like Happy learning how to putt.
⚠️ INSIDE LOOK at the heroism displayed by Trooper Toni Schuck. As the last line of defense, she placed herself directly in the path of a drunk driver heading toward a road closure where countless innocent bystanders were participating in a 10K race. Thank you, Trooper Schuck!
Wiggins scores 40 in Wolves win over Golden State.
Gopher Hockey sweeps Michigan.
Gopher Football greatest win of my lifetime over Penn State.
We're just a Wild comeback win, Vikings victory at Dallas & Gerrit Cole signing w/Twins away from having a perfect MN Sports Weekend.
You know how it’s hard to find good referees and coaches for our kids because bad parents make it not worth it for them? Well, they’re coming for our teachers next. Now more than ever, let your teachers know how much you appreciate them 👍🏻.
Officer kills black man on video but we can’t arrest him until we have a thorough investigation.
Meanwhile, CNN reporter can be arrested immediately while standing in the street.
Feel bad for all the Minnesotans under 35 years old who didn't get see Kirby Puckett in the Playoffs.
A MN athlete was once clutch in the biggest moments.

If you elect me as the next Governor of the great state of Minnesota, I will make it illegal for gas station pumps to ask you questions like “are you a rewards member?” or “would you like a car wash?” during the winter season.
I know it’s extremely rare to get a Sidney Crosby but his ability to make Zucker look even better just amplifies the Wild’s biggest weakness. Wild have good players, but have never had a star that can elevate good players to great.
It’s always easy in situations like this to blame leadership but given the disappearing act by them and a clear lack of a plan, they deserve a ton of blame. We all knew at noon today this could happen, yet they seem like they were caught off guard. Unacceptable.
I haven't watched the bachelor/bachelorette in many years but apparently we're supposed to feel bad for somebody who got dumped after going on 6 dates with a guy who was dating 20 women at the same time all in front of television cameras.
I’ve seen many people complaining that Kaprizov doesn’t shoot enough.
1) He’s on pace to have a top 5 season in terms of points per game in
@mnwild
history
2) He’s played 18 career NHL games
3) He’s 2nd on the team in shot attempts behind Fiala 🤷♂️
Just ENJOY THE SEASON!
I’m all for taking precautions against Covid-19, but this seems a bit premature, does it not? Why can’t we wait another month or two before making this decision?
The Minneapolis Park Board is closing all public beaches and pools for the entire summer, canceling summer rec programs and team sports that do not allow social distancing.
A bid to have the Minnehaha Academy boys' team and Hopkins girls' team play a national basketball tournament in April in New York was denied by the Minnesota State High School League, citing an "extended season" and "unfair advantage."

@JimPaulsen
I’m sure
@AnsonCarterLA
has sadly and unfortunately been the target of racism from the hockey community countless times in his life, but this ain’t it Anson.
I need a ruling from my fellow golfers: I hit my first hole-in-one today on a par 3 course (
#3
Island Lake) and it was playing just 75 yards. Does it qualify to be considered as a hole-in-one?
Media: "Are you excited to see
@CommonManKFAN
today?"
Me: "Not particularly."
Media: "Why aren't you interested in seeing him?"
Me: "I see him everyday."
I'm proposing a new rule for the next Presidential Debate: If you don't answer the question that is asked, the moderator mutes your microphone and gives your remaining time to your opponent.
If you elect me as the next Governor of the great state of Minnesota, I will make it mandatory that all stop lights are required to have the flashing yellow left turn light.
This is the most fun I’ve had watching
@mnwild
hockey in a long time.
1) They work really hard
2) They are more aggressive in the offensive zone as a 5-man unit
3) Kaprizov is must-see
I know a lot of negativity regarding COVID gets thrown around on this lovely website but just wanted to say thank you to all of you in the Twin Cities that have taken the necessary precautions to keep your family and my family safe. It is appreciated.

The talent… the passion… the story telling
Paul Allen, Minnesota Viking PxP, is FANTASTIC.
Every other city/state celebrates the anniversary of Championships.
Here in Minnesota, we celebrate the anniversary of our stadium collapsing.

Karl has a ton of talent, but you can't talk about how you should be MVP and that you're the best big-man shooter in NBA history, and then have that performance when it matters the most.
Dear Hockey Gods,
Please let the
@mnwild
win the draft lottery tonight. I look forward to Hughes and Kaprizov on the same line together in 2 seasons.

upon my return today, handwritten notes of condolences from every Gopher football player including a very personal one from QB Tanner Morgan who lost his Dad to brain cancer recently.

I once had interest in a gal and was rejected. Two years later, after she had dated two other guys, she pursued me.
That’s kinda what this
@CollegeGameDay
feels like. The spark is not the same. The thrill is gone.
