Sports Editor of the Duluth News Tribune, but this account still full of sports takes, song parodies and puns. Still striving to be a better Christian, human and friend.
Though I see no more wrong in this than the dozens of local TV news crews who maintain kayfabe while interviewing Santa Claus, there is a certain irony to this interview with Elmo, who has become notorious for gatekeeping over whether or not Rocco is “real.” Through the looking glass stuff.
Once again, it’s weird that our media conducts interviews with Muppets as if they are autonomous individuals. Also, my lawn is something you should get off

I'm only sad it wasn't on Bruce Pearl himself.
Hey look, Michigan hung 100!

Still laughing about this, but sadly, I think the reverse of the sign probably reads "BUT I KNOW EASTERN WILL SCREW IT UP."

Can we get a screenshot of the CMU people at Eastern-Western purely for hate purposes? @cjzero.bsky.social

"I don't know, Monty, it looks like (Idrissa Gueye) is carrying his left a little low. This could hurt him in the later rounds."
From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: It had not happened in the Premier League for 17 years.
But on Monday, a player — Everton’s Idrissa Gueye — was sent off after clashing with his own teammate.

Everton’s red card vs Manchester United: what did Idrissa Gueye do and was it the right decision?
It was the first time a player had been sent off in the Premier League for fighting a team-mate in 17 years.

Kind of forgot about Fitz. Between him and the other Korean and a few other guys I kind of feel like the international recruitment has been a bit lacking.
Looks like Hassani Dotson and Dominik Fitz are getting ready for #MNUFC

So yeah, this was a perfectly fine season. Tonight was a perfectly logical result. Could you argue that this team could've at least gotten a round further if they didn't sell off THEIR BEST OFFENSIVE PLAYER but when I got mad online about it in September I was told there's nothing to be done.

After the goal, I came to a somewhat distressing conclusion.
MNUFC:
Fiscally responsible
Extremely coherent tactical model
Best talent and experience in the back end
Seriously lacks creativity and goalscoring
Always a good bet to make playoffs, but never a serious threat to win it all
That's ...

Some #MNUFC thoughts. Team was well-prepared and did OK on the execution but there just isn't enough talent or creativity here to win a game like this in a setting like this. They made one mistake, and they paid for it with their season.

The correct answer is in the replies, and it’s “Shots” by LMFAO.
can you imagine what the Stanford band would have done if Rolovich had been named the interim *before* Cal played them

There’s still seven minutes left in the fourth quarter in Detroit? I didn’t realize the Vikings were a service academy.

It really is the full package every time with that guy. Consummate entertainer.

We can rag on McCarthy all we want but if you have a guy with rookie level experience you have to put him in situations where he can succeed and this ain’t it. This is like watching a fourth grader do calculus.

To be fair it was a very good close quarters header. #MNUFC could use him on set pieces.
Daniel Whelan's punt checks up, and Myles Price gets pushed into it. Packers recover on the #Vikings' 6.

Somewhat unsurprised that I think Max just made a 69 joke in the podium interview there.
