Wild lose to the Coyotes 3-2. Wild tied the game at 2 and then gave up a goal 19 seconds later.

The Coyotes first win at the X in 4 years.

Will someone please compare the payrolls for the Angels vs Twins?

Weird Vikings victory today over the Lions. Vikes win 27-10 and roll up almost 500 yards offense. Turnovers, penalties and a terrible 4th down call prevented this game from being a blow out. Sidney Rice and AP were fantastic today. Favre was awesome again. My one criticism: I am all for Chilli tryi...

Favre! He should get the title of "Director of (offensive) Football Operations"

Indy with a shocker of a comeback victory over NE tonight, 35-34. Belichek goes for it on 4th and 2 from their own 28 yd line with 1;47 to go instead of punting???? Wow.

Wie with her first career victory on the LPGA today at the Lorena Ochoa classic

Love the Birkholtz, Carman, Matson line!!! Huge speed and energy!

How about Jay Cutlers performance against the 49'ers tonight? How are the Bears feeling right now about the contract extension they gave Cutler? So now we've moved from one season to one game in assessing a quarterback's ability? Yikes. He's on pace to throw for 4,000 yards and 25+ td's. I would ha...

Wild lose in shootout.

Tampa's Ryan Malone ties it with 14.7 seconds to go.

Wild give up 2 in the third and were outshot 7-0 the last 9:00 minutes of the third period.

How are Wayzata and Eden Prairie playing in the quarters? Is it strictly a pre determined sectional match up?

No Vaneks or Canadians in the near future for the hockey team: Also, Gophers coaches now are being prohibited from recruiting internationally. That hasn't helped the men's golf team, which considers players from across the globe. The Gophers men's hockey team won't be able to scout international to...

Wild lead 2-1 at Tampa tonight! Pouliot scored his 2nd in the first and Johnson with a pretty goal on the PP for his 2nd and the teams second. Tampa scored on a wierd shorty by Stamkos. Wild look much more fluid on offense and have tightened things up in the defensive zone .. What a goal by Owen Nol...

We're missing one huge point here when talking about the students. Football is by far the most boring sport to watch live. It only adds to it if the team does not do well. Most of my memories of football games involve the tailgating before hand and being bored out of my mind at the game. You stand ...

Man I am loving this. I don't even need to throw a log on the fire here. This is pure gold.

Twins number 1 priority should be pitching (starting or relief).

I like the idea of a discounted / incentive laden contract for Crede with one of the young kids in the system as his back up or platoon partner. Use a platoon system like we had with Pags and Leius.

First we get news on the Leddy (injury). Second Bariball is done for the year news. Now we have a player quitting?? Nice timing!!!

The Karma is just wrong at Mariucci right now. We just can't seem to get the negativity to stop!!!

Thirty-Four,

So you think Go Go is better than Delmon? Please explain why you think this.

Everyone,

What is Hardy's defense like .. range, glove and arm?

Unemployment tops 10% for the first time since 1983.

Don't forget the lost revenue due to taking alcohol out of the club room and suites. Unfortunately, they will do whatever they can to make up that lost revenue... I have a simple solution. Put the alcohol back in the arena's and sell it at the football stadium (we had alcohol at the dome for 28 yea...

I too loved the fact that Chilli went after the Packers .. I do need to disagree here. I am not going to get into a Chilly bashing contest because I believe he has had a pretty decent year to this point and am happy with what I see. When you have the right QB for this offense it is a lot better. Bu...

I've been to 3 games this year, but I have not looked to see if Ryan Stoa has been added yet. Does anyone know if he has been added yet? Also, I brought it up last year, and they still have not updated the plaques on the walls of Gopher Hockey Award winners since 2004. Attention to detail. This rea...

As for Leddy...Wooger had the same opinion as me...I will defer to him.

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING? You just lost the little amount of credibility that you had left!!! Most of the stuff Wooger says is back asswards or just flat out wrong!

I have to agree that the hit appeared legal to me. The rule as stated would suggest that there would be a penalty, but I think there is an implied intent for the player to make the contact to the head. For example, if I fall down and slide headfirst into the goalie, does he get a penalty for making...

Cardinal, can you correct PA when you're on next week. 8) I agree that harvin is a fantastic kick returner, but to say he's the best in the NFL...? That seems like a bit of a stretch. Anyways, the Vikings looked good and I absolutely LOVE the cutthroat approach by chilly. He absolutely went for the...

17 penalties for 157 yds with 6:30 to play in the game. Yes, this is a school record.

Handyman wrote:Wild playing well and still leading in Pittsburgh and I will say that Backstrom has been fantastic this game. Way better than 2 games ago when he was Cloutier-esque

Pitt threw the kitchen sink at the boys but they held on. Goli looked very good!

It is good to see TR get his first road win.

So do the Gophers look to pull North Dakota, St Cloud, UMD, Bemidji or Mankato into the rotation to continue the Thanksgiving format?

Cliff Lee absolutely destroys the yankees. Shuts down #3-#5: 1-12 with SEVEN Ks. Amazing.

How are the Cleveland fans feeling after watching their Cy Youngers pitch game 1 in the World Series? That would be tough to take.

The kids and I went to the home opener last night. It had been a couple years since I was at Target Center. Not much has changed. Bad basketball. Not many people(even for the opener). A lot of hotties and suits in the expensive seats. Lot's of wierd gimmicks from the promotion staff. One such gimmi...

Completely agree with Handy. The bulk of the current Wild lineup just don't have the skillset to be successful in the new system. Get the draft picks, go young, give it a couple of years, and things will be much, much better. The only problem with what you and Handy are saying is that the "sup...

How about Nashville contolling the puck in our zone for about 2 minutes in a 5 on 5 situation in the first period? The defense is now soft and pourous!!! A lot of boo birds at the X and deservedly so!!! This team is offensively challanged .. there is no creativity. I can't believe how bad the passin...

See, in Minnesota, fans don't use rational reasons for wanting to get rid of a coach. When a coach actually delivers (as is shown above) we say that's not the point. :wink: The point is that we don't like him because he doesn't call the game like we would as the all-knowing monday morning QBs.

So if you are Maturi, do you give Brewster a contract extension? Thought?

Handy, Let me turn the tables on you. What if the Vikes lose the game? How bad is Chilli savaged for not attempting to get the first down / TD and then kicking the ball so short? IMO, i think he takes one of the worst public beatings in his career here. All you are going to hear is "why don't ...

Yanks and Angels tied at 3 after 6 in game 3 of the ALCS right now.

Yanks led 3-0. Guerrero hit a 2 run shot off of Petitte to tie the game in the 6th.

Just an FYI, Yanks are something like 30 - 0 in their playoff history when having a 3 run lead.

Another point to raise (i just heard it on KFAN and i thought it was very good) is that one could argue that Baltimore went text book on the situation and got too conservative on their final three plays also and it cost them the game. If Baltimore picks up more yardage, they have a shorter FG. I do...

Handy, You need to have a feel and vibe on how the game is going and being played. Our defense gave up 21 in the 4th and our offense scored 13. Hell, our offense scored 5 of 6 drives in the second half. One could just feel that whoever had the ball last was going to win the game. We played it too co...

Please, someone tell Brewster and the gang to stop wearing the all "white" pajama looking uniforms on the road. They are terrible. Put on the gold or maroon pants please!!!!

Umm...if it is 3rd and 9 and they have no TOs you dont throw the ball because if it is dropped that is a free TO for Baltimore. You run the ball and kill as much time as possible.
