Total city boy question here. What do farmers do in the winter? I would imagine with crop farmers there are busy and slow times of the year? What about those who raise livestock? Again, not questioning the work ethic of farmers. I know they work hard. Just wondering if/when they have slow times. Th...

That's my only hope is for BTN to carry most of the games. But with Big 10 football running later in the year I'm not optimistic.

Estes Park is one of the most beautiful places in the US. It’s a shame.

Yup. We rented a cabin there when the kids were junior high age. A favorite memory for sure. I've never seen a prettier place.

How do 12 players make the starting lineup?

The sky is freakishly dark here in the SE metro right now.
It was bizarre in Capital City, too. Kind of an eerie yellow/gold.
Now it's snowing.

I told my wife it looks like our windows are tinted yellow.

Mediacom still has FSN in the small towns out here in rural MN.

This should go under "dumb questions" but how does Sinclair make money on RSNs if carriers aren't carrying their channels?

I'm about six years late to the game, but I'm 4 episodes into Season 1 of Fargo. I like it, but the movie set an impossibly high bar for me. I'm trying to enjoy this TV series for what it is. IMHO Season 2 of the TV show > Fargo the movie. Speaking of the tv Fargo, can anyone explain the bathtub sc...

I’m not necessarily a big Billy Bob Thornton fan but he kills it in season 2 and that’s one of the single greatest seasons in TV history.

I guess I'll be the contrarian to say I really haven't enjoyed this season of Fargo as much as I have previous seasons, though I'm having a tough time putting my finger on why that is. So far I agree, but it's early. I also thought Season 3 was a notch below the first 2. I would agree WRT to season...

Had 5 friends over. We social distanced around a fire and drank my homebrewed Oktoberfest. They all asked for 3rds, so it must have been good.

Iowa is right. The Whioux river runs from Whioux Falls to Whioux City.

Fargo Season 4 was originally scheduled to premiere in April. It just premiered with episodes 1 & 2 last Sunday. Episode 3 is tonight! Glad to have some new TV on. First two episodes were very good. I don't think they'll ever match the season with the Gerhardt family of North Dakota. And I'm having...

Probably should have mentioned the St Cloud street/road system appears to have been designed for a town of 500.

One thing's for sure: without season tickets, they're definitely planning on spreading out fans this season. What that will look like is anyone's guess at this point, but it's clear that they don't want quite a number of STHs to sit in their assigned seats. They would block rows and create groups o...

What is the MLB testing protocol. Do players get tested every day, before each series...?
Every 2 days IIRC

Why is testing so readily available for pro athletes, but not so much for regular people?

Gotta believe Cruz is a shoo in for MVP.

For Cy Young, probably Ross Detwiler. Didn't allow a baserunner all year.

If you donate blood now, the Red Cross will test for antibodies.
