The North Stars shouldn't even have been in that Finals, but they rode the hot streak of Jon Casey in the playoffs...and then 2 years later, they were gone to Dallas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How have you managed to keep your sanity this entire time? lol I'm not sure I have, as I still get a little fired up when I see anything about the Dallas Stars. 😜 The Minnesota Wild aren't the same to me, and probably never will be. They're fine, but I'm not that attached to them (but that's probably also because I haven't lived there for most of their entire existence, as I left during their inaugural season) I practically grew up at the Met Center where the North Stars played as that was the cheapest ticket in town, so my family could afford it. On another note, the fact that Jagr is still playing (albeit now in Europe) is absolutely absurd. The dude is like a year older than me.

vike daddy Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Marion Barber III, a onetime starting NFL running back known for his bruising style of gaining yards, died yesterday. He was 38 years old. ESPN reported that Barber was found in what police believe was his own apartment in Frisco, Tex. They went there in response to a “welfare concern” and discovered a deceased male inside the apartment. No cause of death has been determined and it’s unclear who made the call asking for a welfare check or what prompted it. https://www.theroot.com/former-nfl-running-back-marion-barber-dead-at-38-1849007351 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) I woke up to that this morning, and was pretty sad about it. He always seemed to be a pretty good guy and his family is pretty solid, but I understand he's had troubles here and there after retirement. Don't know if that played a factor here, but I'd have to think that it did, because people don't generally just pass away at 38 without some other kind of factor in play (although it certainly can in rare occasions).

swede700 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 This is certainly way too early, but the Gophers haven't been in the Rose Bowl since way before even I was born (VD was already an old man then since he was childhood friends with the real Pop Warner).

Worm Guts Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Twins need to trade Polanco after last night's BS. Can't have these guys who just fold in the clutch to the Yankees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball was hit directly at Polanco and he ran out of the way. That also wasn't only play he screwed up. He committed an error the next inning.

wcblack34 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Polanco is not the Twins' problem. Lack of top flight arms in the starting rotation is the Twins' problem. This team is, and will continue to be, built to be competitve in the regular season and to get bounced in the first round of the playoffs. It will stay this way until they decide they want to baloon their salary cap to acquire pitching or let go of their top prospects to secure young, electric starters with team control. By all accounts, the clubhouse has great chemistry this season. Polanco, as a veteran and long-tenured player, is part of that. Getting rid of him for one bad game agaisnt the Yankees is akin to something Mike Zimmer would do with a kicker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
