If a Peacock subscription included a Sunday Night Football commentator that wasn’t a Collinsworth, I would probably subscribe to it just for that.

October 24, 1994: A Minnesota Timberwolves 1994-95 season preview, with comments on the NBA's new hand-check rules from head coach Bill Blair and Doug West of the Timberwolves. 📺 WCCO-TV

DHS agents took 12 minutes to decide if you're a citizen. A federal judge just shut that down. Now they can't interview anyone they know or should suspect is a citizen. The point was never fraud. It was fear, and to make you afraid to vote ahead of a midterms that Trump knows he's going to lose.

The federal government has stopped sharing evidence with Minnesota authorities who are investigating the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal officers, state officials said in recent court filings. https://to.pbs.org/47CLLJS

Trade! The Vikings are sending QB J.J. McCarthy to the Giants for a 2027 fifth-round pick, sources tell The Ringer and Netflix Sports. With Jaxson Dart out for the regular season, New York adds another young QB, while Minnesota gains flexibility and McCarthy gets a fresh start.

There’s no better time to make sure you and your friends have a plan to vote in the midterm election. 🗳️

I bet NBC could sell a lot of subscriptions to Peacock by just having different announcers for the subscription service on Sunday Night Football instead of having to suffer through Chris Collinsworth.

Doctors and others are sounding an alarm: More U.S. children have been drowning in recent years. https://to.pbs.org/44cnQze

Young people need to take less risk on a screen and more risk off of screens. From my conversation with Bill Maher.

The cuts made with a “chainsaw” to the USFS and Wildland Firefighting by the department of government efficiency installed by the current administration doesn’t seem so “efficient”. BWCAW fires predicted to last until the “first snowfall”, in a Super El Nino year www.kare11.com/article/news...

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been traded to the Miami Heat, according to a league source. The Milwaukee Bucks will receive Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakučionis and three first-round picks. nyti.ms/4eASreu

I hope Anthony Edwards was watching what a true Champion looks like. Brunson never gave up no matter how many points they were down. He wasn’t dapping up the opposing team and giving up DURING the games.

What an A-hole. An embarrassment to the office. youtu.be/4EusZcKt5fs?...

Matt Dillon needs to have a comeback. He’s only 62. An actor who deserves more recognition.

If Wemby is getting a pass on throwing elbows this postseason, as a T-Wolves fan from Day 1, I would love to be able to see KAT play without the body control he recently attained in the last two years, and start elbowing people left and right on the Spurs, flailing around like he used to driving.

MPD should release a statement about this… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

U.S. President Donald Trump has expanded the number of refugee places available for white South Africans, saying there have been "recent increases in the incitement of racially motivated violence" against them by their Black-led government and other political parties. https://to.pbs.org/433KHML

Wolves lost solely because of coaching. This is the deepest team they’ve ever had. It’s coaching. Has nothing to do with ownership, management, or anything else. It’s coaching.

Timberwolves are soft. The players are cupping the balls of international expansion versus being American and enjoying boundaries.

Joker shouldn’t be allowed to play game 5. Violence is not okay. The point of the game is to score points. McDaniels is a straight up baller, not a politician. Jokic resorted to violence because he can’t handle the truth… he’s on a shitty team. That’s what I saw.

Refs aren’t calling a “fair” game at the Target Center tonight.

Meta's plans to install facial recognition in their “smart” glasses would destroy our chance at privacy and anonymity in public. We could all be identified without our consent. Send a message to Meta demanding they make eyewear, not spywear.

Trump lost his Tariff/Trade war with China already. China completely stopped buying soybeans this year. Farmers are out $4.6B. Trump will need to either dig in, or grovel for forgiveness like a teenager who got caught ditching school. apnews.com/article/trum...

Only took a couple of weeks for the Vikings to put Wentz in as the starter. Sure, McCarthy is "injured", but considering he spent ALL of last year on IR, I can't say that his track record is good either way. My money is on Wentz taking the starting job for the rest of the season and Kwesi gets fired

WORST dysfunctional family management company in sports history. 34 years since winning a WS, did everything to alienate their team's fans, and now have decided that they are the best people for the job. JHC! Time to find a new team to root for... done. www.nytimes.com/athletic/655...

I think getting rid of Correa and his mediocre play, along with taking out Buxton earlier in the year was the right move for the clubhouse, by getting rid of the albatross of his contract. The Twins are playing looser, and more relaxed as a team.

Abolish the electoral college. One person, one vote. @klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov @booker.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov

Disappointing that the Twins traded Bader, Durhan, Coloumbe, and Castro away. Glad to see Correa's enormous contract off the books for the most part.

Get it done Twinkies! He's past his prime, and his contract is dead weight. Move on. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

I hope the Twins trade Correa before the deadline. He's not worth keeping.
