Get yourself a broadcaster who looks at you the same way Cory Provus looks at Pablo Lopez.

This is an outrage! Maybe it will get student workers at the U to consider seeking union representation like students at Macalester did a couple years ago. @seiumn.bsky.social

Sophie Cunningham and Riley Gaines combined for three points and one rebound in 23 minutes during the Lynx 108-100 win over Indiana. During most of their time on the court, they stood in the corner looking for attention without much success.

Target Center today is like a (meaningful) Gophers-Badgers game with the influx of Fever/Hawkeyes fans. High decibel/high energy/hugely fun.

Post of the day. Competition closed.

Who’s the last person in the world a Twins fan wants to hear talk about the trade deadline? A) Derek Falvey B) Derek Falvey C) Derek Falvey D) All of the above

Pretty basic logic flaw in Cunningham's argument: Supporting exclusion is 180 degrees from upholding values of "diversity and inclusion."

The NCAA is about to live Galatians 6:7-9: "You reap what you sow." They created the mayhem that will now unfold in the next few weeks.

WNBA announcers on Prime are so much better than ESPN's crew. Prime broadcasters explain the action well for the viewers; ESPN's seem more interested in being cheerleaders for the players.

Caitlin Clark and the sideshows surrounding her -- Iowans, Sophie Cunningham and agenda-setting hopefuls -- will be at Target Center on Sunday. Plus, the real Vikings QB competition finally starts, the Twins say they're gonna buy and a tribute to Coach John Anderson from a former Gophers star.

Kody Clemens taking Matt Strahm deep with this walk-off grand slam is the kind of left-on-left violence I can fully support.

Cheryl Reeve yelled at Courtney Williams after calling time out 3:50 into the game with Toronto up on the Lynx 17-12. Even money she yelled, "This isn't the f*****g All-Star Game!"

One of my weather apps has given up.

Sports Take celebrates its 2nd anniversary with some great writing and photos that tell the story of Studbudz, as well as a link to their WNBA weekend livestream. Also, U of M athletic department economics explained (a bit) and friends of David La Vaque on the Star Tribune sportswriter's death.

Cory Provus has been low-key challenging Denard Span on his opinions and analysis throughout this Twins road trip -- and I think he's been right every time. As the home plate umpire would say, "Provus still has two challenges remaining."

I don't play golf anymore and I rarely watch it. But the final holes of a major are a psychodrama that fascinates me. ⛳

Twins infielder Kody Clemens hits a "BlueSky home run"** off Matthew Boyd at Wrigley Field. **Lefty-on-lefty violence.
