"It just sucks."

On the Twins losing Pablo López to a season-ending injury on Day 1, how much of a dent it puts into their already iffy chances of having a competitive 2026, and how they could/should try to replace him in the rotation.

Let's get into it: www.nytimes.com/athletic/705...
How will Twins replace Pablo López? In-house options, free agents and present vs. future
Are the Twins better off leaning on the young starters they have in place or should they go last-minute shopping for a veteran free agent?

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Thank You for Your Attention to this Matter.😂🐺🐜

When Kuminga is one of the “reasons” that Ant would demand a trade to Atlanta, this is farce. LOL

This the same guy Steve Kerr could not wait to bench.

Who also is recovering from knee surgery, that Kuminga?!?

i think about these two women who were kidnapped by ICE and then helped one of the agents who was having a seizure all the time.

Regina Martínez Lorenzo is the first Mexican woman to compete in Olympics cross-country skiing.

Other racers waited at the finish line to hug her. Brazil’s Bruna Moura, an 3 medalists, Karlsson, Ebba Andersson of Sweden, and Jessie Diggins from the US.

She learned to ski while in med school in MN.
Glad you brought this up - this Mexican is the first and only in this sport, and everyone was impressed by her determination - the USA gold medalists were so sweet, she removed her skis and hugged her dearly. The MSNBC cut out all of it. Why? That's the best of the #Olympics! empathy and love.

One thing I have not seen much discussion on is that the Timberwolves have 1-3 games in hand on the teams ties or above them.

That means they have a lighter schedule down the stretch.

The Timberwolves were penalized for 7 years without a first round draft pick during KG’s prime…

Because they wrote a promissory note to pay Joe Smith with a long term contract if he took a sweetheart short deal.

For perspective…

As it relates to this and what the Clippers are facing…
The NBA fined the Utah Jazz $500,000 for conduct detrimental to the league and the Indiana Pacers $100,000 for violating the Player Participation Policy. Full details below.

And for good measure…

The Wolbes were legitimately the worst team in the NBA ahead of the 1992 draft.

The “lottery” balls didn’t fall in their favor, so they ended up with the 3rd pick.

1. Shaq
2. Alonzo

3. Laettner

So… yes. Yes. I am bitter.

I'll believe Ice is out of Minneapolis when our signal chats are quiet and the clips of unconstitutional government aggression have ceased.
Meanwhile, a lot of terrorized people still need our help.

This ice “fish-fluencer” wants ICE to get out of Minnesota.

Nate Pischke has turned his indignation and outrage about the largest deployment of masked and armed ICE agents in US history into a call for hunters and fishermen to speak out.
