The first episode of my new podcast, "St. Croix Stories," is out! I talked with one of the biggest advocates of Hudson that I know: Chad Trainor of Urban Olive and Vine. Tune into the episode here, or download wherever you get your podcasts:
I asked Ron Gardenhire pregame about the Ronald Acuna/Jose Urena ordeal from last night. On Urena: "I would be mad enough if I were the manager, I might start him tomorrow and lead him off just so they can smoke him and knock him out just because he did something so stupid."
The last time the Timberwolves made the playoffs:
—Twitter didn't exist
—Facebook was just a few months old
—Gas cost $1.75/gallon
—George W. Bush was in his first term as president
—"Yeah" by Usher was No. 1 on Billboard chart
—KAT was 8 years old
Gardy, on his former players in attendance for his HOF induction: "This group of guys, some of them got me fired. And I still love them to death."

on the iHeartRadio app. If I hear one more commercial for "Mary" winning big by playing Chumba Casino, I might throw my phone into the St. Croix River.
Great point made by a friend of mine regarding pro athletes and the vaccine: when these guys are busted for a banned substance, they claim they had no idea what was in a supplement they were given. But they somehow know all about what's in these vaccines?

Anthony Edwards was asked about his reaction to the Wolves fans not getting free Chick-fil-A for a Raptor missing 2 FTs: "I wanted some. I'd go get some food. I want free Chick-fil-A. I remember I couldn't afford Chick-fil-A, so I can't wait to get some free food."
Excited to announce I will be joining the awesome staff of the Medical Alley Association as the Communications Coordinator. I'm looking forward to this new opportunity and to working in the exciting field of healthcare. (I'm also glad to be able to retire the

hashtag).
By beating Canada in hockey and curling in a span of 7 hours, the United States now gets Canada's universal health care. Those are the rules of the Olympics.
Jimmy Butler was asked if he's playing the best basketball he's played: "Nah. Hell nah. I'm trying to tell you, when I was at Tomball in high school, I was f---ing everybody up. I'm not even joking."
Our baby's due date is today. My
@OneFreshPillow
is being delivered tomorrow. It's now a race to see which one arrives first. (My money's on the pillow.)
I've been glued to Twitter for the past few days, and it's been a bit overwhelming. So to lighten up your timeline, here's my son showing how proud he is that he stacked two water bottles.
