@howubenben @NormOrnstein Someone made some money today. This is probably the ultimate result of sports betting. I bet a few of them are NFL referees.

Most sports are decided by refs and officials. All are more theater and less true athletic competition.

@GopherHockey Yep, no changes for night two…even icing all the fans who would like to watch and get to know this team. To all of you geniuses at UMN, dump the #bigtenplussucks network before we all don’t care anymore and have moved on.

No changes for night two! #PrideOnIce

@GopherHockey @brodylamb2 @connor_kurth Oops. Missed that one too last night. Stupid #bigtenplus

A B1G time game winner from @brodylamb2! 🚨 What a forecheck and feed from @connor_kurth too!

@ryan_kelly8825 @Mariucci_Guy Think of how much fun it will be when all of us homers actually get to watch it on #fox9 for free. Don’t get to see tonight’s game either. What a joke.

@Mariucci_Guy Think of how fun they’re going to be to watch when they all start clicking.

Better team lost. Gophers steal three points in Yost thanks to Minnesota Wild legend Jimmy Clark. Stop me if I’ve said this before, but Close was the Gophers best player.

@GopherHockey @KFANPlus Hey, how about some tips on how to watch for free? Ditch BTN+. May have to watch UMD tonight.

An update for those looking to tune in via radio tonight: Tonight's game will be on FM 96.7 @KFANPlus and on iHeartRadio at KFANPLUS.com/listen. Fans can also download the Varsity Network app (z.umn.edu/92xk) or listen on our website (z.umn.edu/92xp).

@GopherHockey Sure would have been nice to watch back here in Minnesota. Still longing for the old WCHA and Fox Sports North. Always on!

Back at Yost once again 📍 #PrideOnIce

@GopherHockey A Minnesota- Michigan hockey game and we in MN aren’t able to watch unless we pony up and subscribe to a losing idea of a sports network? What a great way to treat your hometown fans and Alumni. Mostly empty Mariucci Arena was not that long ago and is bound to returns. Wake up!

A B1G tilt in enemy territory 📍 🏟: Yost Ice Arena (Ann Arbor, MI) ⏰: 6:00 pm CT 💻: B1G+ (z.umn.edu/92sc) 📻: 103.5 FM/AM-1130 KTLK Preview: z.umn.edu/92rz #PrideOnIce

Not a very active contributor to this platform, but getting tired of the “X formerly known as Twitter”. Let’s just call it what it has become and where it is going….#Xitter. I believe we pronounce X as “sh or Chee” anyway and it would be descriptive of this clown show.

@Heroiam_Slava When the weapons are free, why not just throw them away. You don’t win a chess game on defense.

❗️ Ukraine's Armed Forces Stop Using US Tactics in Their Counteroffensive - NYT. According to the journalists, most of the training organized by the West for Ukrainians included instruction on how to go on the offensive rather than remain on the defensive. According to them, the Ukrainian military, faced with fortified Russian defense and minefields, changed its warfare tactics, focusing on depleting Russian forces with artillery and long-range missiles. According to military experts, Ukraine may well return to the to the "American way" of warfare if the Ukrainian Armed Forces break through the Russian defense. ❕ Ukrainian troops repel Russian counterattacks on the southern front According to Pavlo Kovalchuk, spokesman for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the enemy "made unsuccessful attempts to regain the lost position in the direction of Urozhayne-Blahodatne and west of Staromayorsk." The enemy is suffering significant losses, moving units and using reserves.

@deanbphillips @NRCC Hey deanb. Way to dish it back to traitorville . Glad to have you as my rep.

You just tagged a guy in Ireland, @nrcc, but I appreciate the lesson in cowardice from an organization so accomplished in that field.

@CalltoActivism Just love this. Thanks for the post and Thank You Mrs Jones.

This 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with her hair fashionably coiffed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home yesterday. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy. “Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room …. just wait.” “That doesn’t have anything to do with it,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged, it’s how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away, just for this time in my life.” She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account, you withdraw from what you’ve put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing.” And with a smile, she said: “Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 1. Free your heart from hatred. 2. Free your mind from worries. 3. Live simply. 4. Give more. 5. Expect less, & enjoy every moment. Photograph by Karsten Thormaehlen

I don’t think I know any of these kind of “engineers” who don’t really know how things work. In the grander scheme though, point well taken. LOL

I had a guy friend with a Ph.D in engineering ask me last week how women pee with a tampon in and this is why men shouldn’t be passing laws about women’s bodies.

@atrupar Chuck Todd you suck. You just gave this lunatics almost 2 minutes of national air time to say actually NOTHING.

Asked by Chuck Todd to detail the Republican plan to deal with inflation, Rep. Andy Barr has absolutely nothing beyond empty talking points

@RonFilipkowski So…we have election fraud in a Republican Primary! Now we know who is responsible for trashing our elections. One clue….it’s not the Democrats!

Kari Lake now says she has a team of lawyers filing election fraud charges in AZ. “We spotted a lot of corruption, and we’re going to be pushing forward with charges.”

@robinince can you speak to the cosmic chirp when black holes collide?

@RonFilipkowski #TraitorTrump

Even by Trump’s standards, this is utterly repulsive. There has never been any former president, at any time in our history, who has ever said things like this about our country during time of conflict. Just vile.

@DarylPettis Happy happy birthday, to every girl and boy. Hope this very special day, brings you lots of Joy! From “Lunch with Casey Jones and Round house Rodney”. Oh, and the Nurse😎. Best wishes

Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife!!
