Until today, I believe the last time a Minnesota franchise in the 4 sports referenced had 3-0 series lead was the 1985 North Stars. They swept the Blues in a Best of 5 in the 1st Round. For a Best of 7, have to go to the 1981 North Stars. They were up 3-0 against the Sabres, eventually won in 5...

Carol Burnett & Bradley Cooper mutual admiration. At 91 she's utterly amazing.

Sanó got hosed on that called 3rd strike. Looks solid playing the hot corner.

No worries. They probably more than makeup for it in Pre-Draft coverage, which I feel like started while the Super Bowl was still being contested and Post-Draft analysis.

Didn't it used to be 15 minutes in the 1st Round?

Not really heartbreaking because of my 2 previous mistakes in April, but I messed up Mariners/Rookie of the Year. I used Ichiro in the M's/Marlins combo because I thought I was safe going with either Junior or ARod. Turns out neither won the award. It sorta balanced out though on the...

Stay tuned, they can always trade back in!

One thing I noticed about watching the Draft last night (for a little more than an hour), is that Teams are now only On the Clock for 10 minutes (down from 15). This change might have been made a decade or more ago for all I know, but regardless it makes it much less of a slog. Far less time to...

It's not that much of a penalty, they banned themselves for 2023 and went 3-9 anyway. A true Year Zero. Good to go for next year.

Hopefully Clark and her advisors watched Air Time and insisted on getting a little taste for each sale as Mrs Jordan did.

I generally do anything I can to avoid watching the NFL Draft. The exceptions were when Chris Doleman was selected, I stayed home from school because I was sick and happened to watch that on ESPN while it was in it's infancy. That was enough Mel Kiper Jr exposure for me to last a lifetime...

For at least 5 years though I would roll the dice on Clarks overall income more than anyone taken in the NFL Draft last night.

Good reverse jinx. Santana just hit is 1st HR of the season as part of their 2nd back-to-back with Miranda.

Heads up for you 2 fellas in particular, just in case you missed it, The Breeders are playing the Uptown Theater on Sept 24 (Tue). There's a presale code on their Instagram page in case you are interested.

I subsequently corrected myself in post # 9, but thanks for the clarification.

I mis-remembered Shaver coming back for Wild games, other than a brief cameo when they dedicated the pressbox in his name. Only Bob Kurtz and Tom Reid came back.

This is a good one. Al knew when to just let the crowd tell the story.

I wish Hanks would direct a few more films.

Strib Obit, I would expect more from Reusse later on. https://www.startribune.com/al-shaver-obituary-north-stars-radio-announcer-dies/600361339/ Shaver is survived by sons Wally, Jim and Gary and daughters Judy and Sue; nine grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and two great-great...
