USMNT is back in action on November 12th! Friendly against Wales, 1:45pm. It will be very interesting to see what the squad looks like. We have a basically unprecedented number of young American players, who are in major roles, at some of the biggest clubs in the world. Christian Pulisic, 22, Chelse...

This should go under "dumb questions" but how does Sinclair make money on RSNs if carriers aren't carrying their channels? I don't think they ARE making money, which is maybe why they're trying to play hard ball with these streaming services. I've seen some talk online, people speculating that Sinc...

f*** Sinclair. I'll go without watching the Twins, Wild, Gophers before giving in to them and going back to cable/satellite. I hope the sports leagues recognize this as a turning point, and get rid of blackout rules in their next TV deals. They'd sell A LOT more subscriptions to their MLB TV's, NHL ...

Is there actually a problem in a business setting with saying things like "No problem!" or "No worries!"? I've seen more than a couple articles about business etiquette that have pointed this out, where you should say things like "Happy to help!" Is that a real thing that people have an issue with, ...

You should have gone for 2, play call was stupid. Should have kicked the FG, play call was stupid. WTF, Zimm and staff? Evidently the percentages say going for it was the right thing to do. These percentages never take into account the Vikings history of completely blowing it in these situations, t...

Absolutely the right call to go for it there. Love the aggressiveness.

What's up with the Loons so far? They haven’t found a striker still that can put the ball in the net. Also having Opara out all year and Alonso missing a large part of it hasn’t helped them defensively First choice keeper having season ending surgery after 3 matches hasn't helped either. Yes - that...

Do we own the playoff loss streak now for all 4 major sports? I saw a tweet that says yes.

Yeah, we set that record yesterday, longest playoff losing streak in North American pro sports history. Today was just building on that record.

Yesterday, we broke the news that YouTube TV will be dropping Sinclair-owned FOX regional sports networks on Thursday, October 1. Today, Sinclair responded to the discontinuation of the networks on the streaming service. “While we are disappointed that YouTube will discontinue carriage of the RSNs,...

It may be 100 years before a level of playoff ineptitude this severe is seen again. It's actually pretty amazing.

This will be a very frustrating season. We'll be good enough to win a handful of games. We'll be like 6-10, while the f*** Jets or someone else goes 1-15, 2-14, to get Lawrence. We'll pick like 7th and draft an offensive lineman.

Aaaaand the cycle continues.

Wow. Wonder if they'll look to relocate and scale down their beer hall? Or just wait the pandemic out and reopen in the same space?

Damn, Nani is good.

They are really nice, I also like these Padres unis: https://ewscripps.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/1894a65/2147483647/strip/true/crop/900x506+0+58/resize/1280x720!/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fewscripps-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F6e%2F8b%2Fea46476e4de48b2582b9a503221a%2Fpadres-angels-machado-...

Convincing win for the Loons tonight! Heath has to get a ton of credit for the tactics today. He got it absolutely right, and neutralized what has been a really high powered attack.

Onto the semis!

Nice to see us advance! But I still wish we wouldn't sit back after we score a goal, and just let the other team control the game.

It'll be interesting to see us play SJ, a real clash of styles. Although we did already beat them 5-2 this year, in the before times. Seems like an eternity ago.

For the first time in over two weeks I feel like I am pretty damn close to back to "normal". Glad to hear it. I’m assuming you tested positive then? First test was negative. For whatever that is worth. I'm debating whether I want to go get an antibody test to see if that sheds any actual clarity, b...

For the first time in over two weeks I feel like I am pretty damn close to back to "normal". I've been really careful throughout this whole thing, and your posts about how miserable you felt have been another validation of why I continue to be pretty cautious. I also have asthma (low grade, I don't...

It seems like all these games are being played on the same field in Orlando. Won’t the field be extremely beat up shortly? It looks like the whole complex has 8+ fields, from the "aerial" shots I've seen. Like, last night RSL and Colorado were warming up on the field next to us as our game was fini...

Just got the wall art in the mail. It looks awesome! Glad I stumbled across this guy on Twitter!

Did you just Tweet at him or DM him? I’m going to order one tonight.

Yep, just send him a DM, and then he'll give you the pricing, and his Venmo.

Yep, you add someone to your Google "family", and then they have access to YouTubeTV. Each member of the "family" has their own separate instance of YouTubeTV with their own recommendations, DVR, etc. You can have 3 concurrent streams/devices going at one time. They say that you have to be physical...

YouTubeTV jacked up their prices from ~50 to $65 a month. They added some other channels to announce with the price hike, Comedy Central is the only one I'm even mildly interested in. It started at $35 a month and now is almost double that... They're starting to creep up to cable/satellite range. I...

I've seen speculation about the PS5 being $700, but man I just can't see that. Surely, that's way too high? They may have a model that goes to that price point, but it can't be the base console.

$500-$600 is my guess.

Does The Sopranos "hold up" today? It's one of those pantheon type shows that I've never seen.

Anyone excited about the PS5 reveal today? I have had a 360 and an XB1, but I'm seriously thinking about switching over to Sony. The exclusives on Sony might draw me over. Horizon Zero Dawn was an amazing game. I'd definitely want to play the sequel. They certainly took a risk with the design. It wi...

The Athletic laid off 46 people today. Has anyone seen if any MN writers were any of them?

Johnny Athletic said that the MN team was untouched by the layoffs.

What are we paying for SkiUMahLaw's retainer?!

Cool, so pretty soon we won't have a Local Broadcasting/Media thread either!

Any fans of the Sid Meier Civilization games?

The Epic Games Store is giving away Civ VI completely free. Offer ends tomorrow at 10am.

No strings attached, no form of payment info needed, just a free 60 dollar game!

On Monday I tried to get tee times for today And remember the forecast was for sun and temps in the mid 80s. As of 1:30 it is only 66 degree and cloudy. How did they screw up so badly just 3 days out? Are you really surprised??? Last week they were saying that is was going to be in the upper 80's m...

Just yet another reminder to not take recruits committing as set in stone.

He "committed" here less than a month ago

Sitting at the cabin on the deck with a drink listening to two owls hoot back and forth at each other

Going along with the "What's the first person you think of when you see this logo?" trend on Twitter. MN sports edition!

Good luck everyone going out this weekend! Too bad it's not going to be a little nicer.

I'm really hoping that my Canada trip in late July isn't going to be cancelled...

Bundesliga officially coming back!

I tried selling my PS2 a couple years ago when I got rid of my Wii and no one wanted it. So I still have that and my NES that my sister and I bought ourselves....it still works and I won't be getting rid of it ever. Yeah, the PS2 stuff is not worth much because there's simply so much of it out ther...

Cleaning out my parent's house as they downsize. Is there a market for any old systems? We have Atari 2600, NES, Super Nintendo, N64 and Playstation 2, with games, controllers, and all the neccessary cables? Thought I would check before just throwing or donating. Some of the N64 games (and games fr...

Wow, big day in Minnesota broadcasting.

Jefferson seems to stick to shorter routes which is good for Kirk and his stats lol. His teammate coming out next year looks like an absolute beast compared to him in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX92JSZqRQw They said on NFL network that Jefferson is a slot receiver.... like Thielen....

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWIdOeOWkAE-78D?format=jpg&name=large I really wish they didn't have the numbers on the helmets, makes it too busy IMO. These are frustratingly close to being really great. My favorites are definitely the bookends. The powder blue with white pants is great, and the dark ...

Wow, that seems like a big get.

I've been following this guy for the graphs he puts out:

The graphs are starting to look somewhat encouraging. Hopefully the trend continues and starts going down.

I don't know why, but I was somewhat skeptical of Westworld S3, but after E1 I could not have been more wrong. My goodness it was everything the series has been so far and imho suggests additional promise. it created such a visceral reaction on many levels that if they can deliver on the opening, S...

I can’t get a link to work for the article but the CNN app has a headline that states South Korea is reporting 140 recovered patients have retested positive for COVID-19.

These are some quotes from the article I read about Steven Ortiz. I know it's a long time before he signs and a lot can happen between now and then, but I love when recruits talk like this. He reminds me of Carter Coughlin when he committed: “They are on the rise and the coaches are very trustworth...

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of comfort food is chicken wild rice soup. Mom always makes it basically completely from scratch. Cooks the chicken, shreds it, uses the broth, oh man it's good. That's one meal that will always remind me of home, or winter days at the cabin with that ...

One (of many) things I am curious about is the machinations that go on behind the scenes during and after the treatment of a patient with COVID. I'm assuming all of the patient data is shared with someone (MDH, CDC ?) who then tracks patient data, treatments, outcomes etc. I'm then assuming that th...

I saw an interesting point of view this morning about healthcare workers. They are not "on the front lines" of this pandemic. They're the last line of defense. It's you and me, out in the world, who are on the front lines of this pandemic. And it's up to us to make sure we have to use that last line...

Damn, T Jack always seemed like a good guy.

Seems like a good get, hopefully he stays committed and can help continue the great play of the secondary. Offense is fun and all, but I love when my football teams have a great defense.

They look basically the same as I can remember when I had a Warrick Dunn jersey the year before they won the SB? Is there something special I'm missing? Nope, just well done for realizing their current ones were an atrocity, and going back to the ones that worked in the 90s. I'm not an 80s kid, so ...

Well done, Tampa. Well done.

There are some interesting graphs and data on the MN Department of Public Health website around COVID 19, if you're like me and like to look at things from an analytical/statistical view. They have tons of breakdowns by age, transmission, location, and more: https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/c...

Our company and sounds like at least one other in MN that I know of went to 4 day work week and 80% pay.

Damn, that was an absolute snipe.

Uh oh, under review!

Booooooooo.

10 minutes in and haven’t seen this kind of talent/good hockey in a while. Wow

I had the same thought watching it. It really feels like this was the golden age of college hockey. At least in my lifetime.

Holy $h!t this is a fun game. So much talent on the ice (and so young for both teams)

No kidding, a lot of high end fire power on both sides. Arena is jacked up, fun to watch.
