@_MNMuse Good thing that Meerkat twice chose to not select Steph, or this list would be even longer.

The Timberwolves have had 5 All NBA Players (excluding Ant) in their history. Here’s what happened after they left: KAT - Made the Finals Butler - Made the Finals KG - Won the Finals K-Love - Won the Finals Cassell - Won the Finals We’re a Cursed Franchise…

@nuginski @LaVelleNeal @Haudricourt 10-11 in two days. Don’t forget Kirby reaching over the center field railing to rob Robin Yount of a game-tying Grand Slam.

@LaVelleNeal @Haudricourt Kirby 6-6

Horrible stadium. But fun pressbox because brats were served in the back and Bud Selig would come in and trade f-bombs with @Haudricourt who was giving him shit about the team.

@GuidoRizieri @Djoko_UTD What happened on January 30, 2026? Please review the tape.

@Djoko_UTD He is NEVER going to beat Sinner EVER again. EVER

With Carlos out of Wimbledon, this is the best shot at 25 imo… 1 straight match vs Sinner, if fit he can definitely do the Unthinkable #25

@josemorgado Where is last year’s surprise women’s semifinalist?

Roland Garros 2026 (expected) Singles Seeds.

@ChadHartmanShow Either a funeral, and/or about to see the Knicks’ record margin of victory obliterated by a relentless team from San Antonio

Where am I? Wrong answers only!!

@kpottermn Kyle, how would the sudden change (July 9th?!) be implemented so quickly? How would previous bookings be handled? Would future award ticket inventory immediately after the change be unusually inflated because many travelers might be unaware of the change? Thoughts?

After changing the Palm Beach airport's name to President Donald J. Trump International, the federal government is also pushing to change its 3-letter code from PBI to DJT. IATA would need to sign off on that change. wptv.com/news/trump/faa…

@_p_n_k @Gaardsy Basically, two words: Tom Kelly

@Gaardsy I think it's a different question JG. What in the fresh hell did the *Twins* actually do 35 (yikes) and 39 (double yikes) years ago?? They're the outlier.

Seriously, what did we do to the Sports Gods?

@richparker222 @John_Fanta Probably Indianapolis……but wherever it is to be held, it will need to have major airport access, since there is less than 48 hours elapsed between announcement and tip-off.

@John_Fanta Mr. Fanta, do you have any educated guess on the 2nd location?

News: The NCAA Tournaments are officially changing to 76 teams. The men’s tournament will begin on the Tuesday after Selection Sunday, meaning the 2027 tournament will begin March 16. Instead of two games on Tuesday and Wednesday in Dayton, there will be three games each day in Dayton and three games each of the two days in a second city to be determined. The 12 games will be branded the March Madness Opening Round. The lowest-seeded 12 automatic qualifiers as seeded by the committees will play in half of the Opening Round games, while the other six games will feature the 12 lowest-seeded at-large teams. The round of 64 will continue to be played Thursday and Friday, while the round of 32 remains Saturday and Sunday.

@Gaardsy Justin, invest in a DVR. Keep your regular bedtime schedule. Get up at 5am, and watch game while zipping past commercials and endless video reviews. Works like a charm

9:30 tip tomorrow is a nightmare for my Wolves West Coast Wellness Plan of not watching to avoid aggravation before bed…

@M_Hansen13 Please revise 15

@M_Hansen13 Please contrast Olivia Miles with pre-injury Diamond Miller. Why will this pick be better? Should have traded down and picked Fam or Betts.

With the No. 2 pick in the 2026 #WNBA Draft, the Minnesota Lynx select Olivia Miles out of TCU. In her lone season at TCU after four years at Notre Dame, Miles averaged 14.2 points, 6.5 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals over 32.1 minutes per game.

@PlayoffBoundNYK @KnicksInFou @Ntilikina11Fan Not to mention the Rudy/Jokic matchup

@PlayoffBoundNYK @KnicksInFou @Ntilikina11Fan Jokic and Nuggets game likely selected for Europe Saturday night prime time telecast. They probably felt like thus was their best option.

Giving Rockets Lakers prime time over Nuggets Wolves encapsulates the major problems the league faces

@GMacHoops Two courts at the same site (Mayo) are ABSOLUTELY required in order to keep the playing schedule for A/AA the same as in previous years. Hotel availability. Rochester has more than enough within walking distance. SCSU does not. Chris Long/45TV need to get this done.

The new St. Thomas facility would be great but the two courts at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester would be terrific and keep all of the classes in one location.

@Landonprice68 @CharlieWaltonMN Rest them all they want. They will have a good week of practices and scrimmages. Playoff victories are the only goal now. The 5280 feet requires fresh legs and lungs. Denver needs to flip on their defensive switch, or these fresh, reinvigorated Wolves will surprise.

@CharlieWaltonMN Not sure how I feel about Ant and Jaden going into playoffs with no reps in almost a month

The Wolves locked up a top-six seed last night. So, with three games left in the regular season, their injury report is lengthy for tonight's game in Orlando: Conley — OUT (rest) Dosunmu — OUT (injury maintenance) Edwards — OUT (injury maintenance) Randle — OUT (right hand soreness) Gobert — QUESTIONABLE (rest) Jaden McDaniels, who has missed the last six games, is also questionable to play.

@ChrisLongKSTP Chris, I know it’s early, but if the GBB tournament is going to be in Rochester next year, I hope 45TV will still bring out all the bells and whistles to showcase all the great talent (and certain teams shooting for a possible 5-peat and 6-peat)

It'll come as no surprise if you're a follower/viewer, but this announcement makes me *incredibly* happy. Can't accurately express how thrilled we are to continue having the privilege of bringing you the #TourneysOn45 for another five years (at least!). kstp.com/minnesota-spor…

@GMacHoops @QuackAttack_06 Will 45TV be able to broadcast from these two arenas?

@QuackAttack_06 Haha! I hear you. It's the little gym I love (Auditorium?) and having all of the games in the same location is a huge plus in my mind. I can't think of anywhere else you can do that.

@TonyLiebert Would Liv McGill be a desired option for Coach P ?

The Gophers' retention (Braun, McKinney and Grocholski) established a pretty high floor. Their success in the transfer portal this offseason will determine their ceiling for 2026-27.

@kpottermn @mspairport @JKealing Kyle, do you really think BC passengers with gates at the end of F are going to walk all the way to the end of G and then back to F? Or do you think DL is going to put most/all of these international flights near the end of G?

NEW: Delta is making moves for a Delta One business class lounge in Minneapolis (@mspairport), public documents show. They’ve identified a 20K square foot space in Concourse G (near the new G Sky Club). Still veeeery early - probably years away. Kudos @JKealing for flagging

@9MadHatter @JohnCarrier42 I have no horse in this race. How would MSHSL and school ADs handle costs/food/logistics of the 2nd night of lodging for the Day 1 losers? If no Consolation Games, then this would be a huge waste of $$ two weekends in a row. Thoughts?

@Mike_Villafana @JohnCarrier42 If participating school is more than 50 miles from state tournament site, the MSHSL pays for the hotel for that school. It makes things much easier for schools.

Hot take- 1. Play down to 16 teams in each class 2. Seed them 1-16 3. Play sweet 16 and elite 8 at 1 of 4 regional sites one weekend 4. Play the Final 4 on Fri and Sat at Williams/Target Center the following weekend.
