“Who’s going to take this yard? Am I going to let you take this yard or will I knock you back and take this yard?”

On the arrival of Eric Wilson, unleashed and unhinged in this #Vikings defense.

Insane in Minnesota: Kody Clemens with what we call the "ultimate grand slam" -- a walk-off grand slam with his team down by 3.

Only the 15th ultimate grand slam ever with 2 outs, rarer than a perfect game (24 of those).

Only the 34th at all in known MLB history, 1st by a Twin.

Rudy Gobert I need you to train with the monks and Randy Moss all summer. You’re gonna have to be the bigger man and learn how to catch.

Another ho-hum 24-7-6 night for Olivia Miles (on 70 percent shooting) in a Lynx romp.

She’s an MVP candidate. And appointment television.

[jordan from cwnp and also the dj @tornadojally]

perfect

Olivia Miles is the fourth player in WNBA history to average 15 PPG, 5 RPG, and 5 APG through 7 career games 🤯

The other three players are Caitlin Clark, Candace Parker, and Sabrina Ionescu.

Minnesota’s four major men’s pro teams never won a title during Dave’s run at KDWB.

If Billy can extend Hughes and trade for Matthews without giving up Wallstedt, it would be a Grand Slam offseason.

[ESPN Insights @ESPNInsights]

OLIVIA MILES JOINS ELITE COMPANY 🔥

She's the third player in WNBA history with 10 points & 5 assists in each of her first 3 career games, joining Candace Parker and Sue Bird 😤

[Tony Liebert @TonyLiebert]

As the No. 1 start time hater in the world, I am trying to comment less about late starts, but tonight's Wolves-Nuggets game is really testing me.

Most obvious complaint ever, but there is no good reason for an NBA team to play a playoff game after 930pm (time for its local fans).

EVERYTHING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BUILT AROUND TV RATINGS. It doesn't have to be the way.

[MNMuse @_MNMuse]

8:44 - Ryan Jeffers hits a grand slam

8:46 - Wolves Nuggets Game 3 Starts

8:53 - Vikings Draft Caleb Banks

Pretty exciting 10 minutes for Minnesota.
