Watching Amazon delivery drivers blow every stop sign in my neighborhood has become a fun and slightly terrifying weekend tradition.

@lpeterson830 To be fair, Cade McNamara threw 0 touchdown passes and only 62 yards vs the Gophers in 2024.

You'll have to take it from Kaleb Johnson who is still running through PJ's nightmares.

Proof once again that the NCAA has lost complete control of college football, the transfer portal, and college sports altogether.

Iowa gets rocked for self-reporting and self-imposing penalties. What a joke.

[NCAA News @NCAA_PR]

Tampering violations occurred in Iowa football program; Football head coach and assistant coach previously resolved their respective violations.

Day drinking remains a great team builder, whether you’re an NFL head coach, state lawmaker…really any industry. Just don’t drive!

[Jay Glazer @JayGlazer]

One of my favorite days of the year!!! Our 18th annual NFL Head Coaches day-drinking day at the NFL Owners Meeting. I started this with Mike Tomlin 18 years ago (yes, we raised a glass to him) to get the head coach fraternity to bond together, bounce things off each other, ask each other for advice and to celebrate how cool life is TOGETHER. Leaders take care of everybody else but who takes care of the leaders? This is a cool way to bond so these leaders can all take care of each other. Trying to make it less lonely at the top!
Oh, and the stories that are shared are CLASSIC!!!

We had 28 of 32 coaches show!!! Oh, and I brought my brothers Michael Phelps and Mark “The Smashing Machine” Kerr along as well to punch up the day.

Classic day!!!! Hilarious convos!
(Oh, forgive me for the lousy camera work, lol)

Side note: everyone always asks who picks up the bill? McVay did it this year. I’d tell you all to Venmo him but I don’t think he knows what that is hahahahaha

Long story short, I hope everyone going to see The Boss in Minneapolis tonight finds a bit of that feeling that I still feel. I’ll be there in spirit!

[Mark Freie @MarkFreie]

Leap Day 2016, my first @springsteen show in St. Paul. It felt like a congregation gathered to hear songs that told the stories of our own lives.

I had only lived in the Twin Cities for about a month and had barely any money, but that night made me want to embrace life’s journey

@Twins Consider this the official petition to have Buck's walk-up song be "Pants on the Ground" during the home opener.
