Suburban Dad in Minnesota. Bylines over the years for many newsrooms alive and dead. This feed has mostly nothing to do with that though. It’s dog photos and sports nonsense.
Got more rhymes than I got gray hairs, and that's a lot because I got my share.

You know how the first time it snows for the season, everyone takes a horrible photo of it and posts it online?
The Northern Lights are apparently like that, except it’s the complete opposite. All of the photos are INCREDIBLE.

Obviously the NBA doesn’t care about us stupid fans, but maybe they will consider how hard they are making it on the gamblers to watch the games???

The Wolves need to quit playing with their food. They can’t drop games like this to teams like the Blazers.

One of these years, FanDuel might want to get around to selling ads during Wolves games on streaming.

Belichick has to be careful. I’ve even heard of coaches that film the opposing team’s walkthroughs so they learn the other team’s signals.
Updated UNC depth chart for tonight’s game. Can’t believe they’re tipping off TCU that they’re using a right tackle.

Looking at Bill Belichick’s UNC coaching staff is… a ride.
You’ve got two Belichick sons, the son of the GM, Freddie Kitchens, and former Vikings special teams coach Mike Priefer.
Yeah, THAT guy.

Acuña’s throw is so good that it broke containment into “Amazing video I will show my wife who couldn’t care less regarding the subject matter.”
But even she was impressed! That’s how good the throw (and tag) was!

This throw seems impossible... it just kept going
