My Great-Great Grandfather, Ed Rogers, is being inducted into the Minnesota Sports Hall of Fame Today. I couldn’t be more proud of his accomplishments not only on the field but, even more-so, off of it. A thread (1/6)

I really hate how when a team loses we relitigate everything. The Wolves gave up a bunch of picks for Rudy and he had a bad Game 6 against a better team. They traded KAT because of the CBA for Randle and he had a bad series. They made two WCFs and got to the second round, for a team that has been a historical joke since KG in 2004, TWENTY years ago. They built a good team, they couldn't get it to put it together. It doesn't mean it wasn't worth it.

HELL NAH.

@cabbag3_ Very much appreciate that. I've had several opportunities to go national. But this is home. My connection to this place and this audience is just way too strong to leave.

@allisonaudrey @JustStarkey Twitter is a cesspool of garbage when the Wolves (or any team) lose. Faceless keyboard warriors hiding behind avatars with little to no understanding Fire Finch, Connelly sucks, trade every player, the team is moving to Seattle. It’s all been said. Jaden is of tremendous value.

Very ungrateful

Just two days into leaving The Athletic to launch my own site for Twins coverage, we've already blown past even my most optimistic long-term subscriber goals. I'm overwhelmed by the support. Keep it coming and we can make this sustainable for a long time: aarongleeman.com/welcome-to-the…

This game being framed as some return of a wronged hero RE: Wemby, rather than a guy who was very fortunate he wasn’t suspended after wildly flagrant elbow to an opponent’s throat is just wild to me.

Absolutely surreal to see my personal big news treated as ... news. Some of the outlets that have covered it: Awful Announcing: awfulannouncing.com/athletic/aaron… Front Office Sports: frontofficesports.com/twins-reporter… Bring Me The News: bringmethenews.com/minnesota-spor… The Racket: racketmn.com/aaron-gleeman-…

New site already has four articles up.

@LesBowen Glad I never had you for an editor

My big news: I've left The Athletic because they wanted me to stop covering the Twins. I refused to give up my dream, so I'm betting on myself and returning to my independent roots. I need your support to make it work. Join me and let's do this together: aarongleeman.com/welcome-to-the…

After taking questions from reporters today, Karl-Anthony Towns ended his media availability by offering condolences to Nick Nurse on the passing of his brother, Steve. "My family wanted to give love and condolences to Nick Nurse’s brother and his family....I haven’t been able to talk to him personally, but I know it’s real tough," said Towns, who lost his mother, Jacqueline Cruz, and other family members due to Covid-19. "I don’t know what he’s going through, but in a similar fashion I know how it is to have to show up to work and to have a lot of pressure on you to do something special when you’re kind of not fully there."

I regret to inform you that Chris Finch has been coaching his ass off alllllll playoffs long. What a phenomenal Timberwolves win.

whatever i don’t even like basketball

In his first two playoff starts, Terrence Shannon Jr. has played a combined 70 minutes, scored a total of 40 points, and tallied ZERO turnovers.

btw, none of our graphics are AI.

You guys think Ant playing in Game 1 is crazy, just wait until Donte plays Game 2
