NEWS: I am officially closing my attempt to dunk a basketball for an approximately two-year period of time, with a scheduled grand reopening of me dunking that will rival & surpass anything dunk that has taken place before. This announcement has nothing to do with the lack of interest in me dunking.

Glen Taylor owns the Star-Tribune and just made $1.1 billion selling the Timberwolves but the paper refuses to regularly fund his own beat writer's travel to cover that team. He also recently shut down the strib's printing plant, it's now printed in Iowa. Funny how quote tweets are disabled for this
