Jonny Flynn and the Timberwolves
There’s been lots of talk about Ricky Rubio and all the he could potentially bring to the twolves. And while i think he’s pretty special, I’m also very excited about Johnny Flynn. What happened on draft day is that the the Timberwolves had ranked Flynn as #1 on their board of people they thought they [...]
Joe Mauer is Awesome
Image by Keith Allison via Flickr Let me just repost what Aaron Gleeman wrote yesterday. It should be no surprise to anyone that Joe Mauer is my favorite player in baseball. The guy is a total stud: Mauer is such a great hitter that batting .417 or getting on base at a .500 clip during [...]
Bill Simmons to be Timberwolves GM?
Two of my favorite things are intersecting today. My love for The Sports Guy and for the Timberwolves could turn into a marraige as he’s launching a campaign to be the Twolves GM. The Star Tribune did an interview (via email) with him here. I personally think he knows the intricacies of the league, the [...]
Edina Hockey
Growing up in Edina, MN is a great experience. One of the highlights of the year is the state hockey tournament. If Edina made (which we always did) we’d get the days of school off and everyone would go to the Xcel Center dressed up like maniacs and cheer like mad for the Hornet players. [...]

New Media – What Will It Look Like
Toby and i have been debating and discussing what new media will look like. His post today inspired me to lay down some of my thoughts. A lot of my thinking stems from this article in The Atlantic and Fred’s Post about his reading habits. The Atlantic post described how the NY Times is dead. [...]
You know you're a Minnesotan if…
My sister sent me this and i found myself chuckling. Instead of forwarding, i’m just putting it up… You know you’re a Minnesotan if.. 75% of your graduating high school class went to the Univ. of Minnesota. (maybe another 10% to Madison) You know more than 1 person who has hit a deer. People from [...]
Newspapers, The Wire, Star Tribune, and the T-Wolves
Newspapers are on the way out. My friend Jules has been telling me this for years. I saw two more big pieces of evidence this week. First, i read the fantastic article in Esquire called “A Newspaper Can’t Love You Back” by David Simon, the creator of The Wire. The article is a tribute to [...]
