What I read is that they simply went with the money, availability for their fans was really secondary.  The Twins deserve as much responsibility as them, because they full well knew the previous issues and the risk they were taking by signing another contract. 

Obviously, I don't live in the market, so I'm clearly not impacted, but I feel for those that are, as it reminds me of the way back when days of Rogers Cable when I used to watch the North Stars days through snowy screens (back when they were only able to scramble the programming and not shut it off completely).  🤣 

Are they even guaranteed to get all of the money? Bally sports isn't going to be bringing much in.  They should have been working on something else even if they took a short term loss. 

I haven't been able to watch the twins in like 3 years

Well, we've had good luck on the football field with Harvard offensive linemen.

The Twins have won 12 consecutive games for the first time since 1991.

They won the World Series that year.

They need to go on a playoff run so I can watch them

This Timberwolves team is so much fun to watch. Anthony Edwards is the new face of the NBA, and he's using these playoffs to show that he's the best player in the league. I liked the Gobert trade when it happened, mostly because it was a bold move to try SOMETHING to pull the franchise out of the muck. But it's been even better than I could have imagined. I keep saying that these wins are "statement wins," but it's now just becoming routine. 

Twins and Wolves are unbeaten in their last 17. That's incredible. Great time to be a MN sports fan. (We don't talk about the Wild).

I may find the time to watch them if they get to the Finals..it's nice that it's only taken them 35 years to be a legitimate threat in the playoffs (although they did have that one year with Sam and Latrell).  Let's hope that they can continue to be.

I caught some of the game, shame for the later start time. But that was just impressive. I am shocked that Murray wasn't T'd up and tossed from the game yesterday. I hope that he gets suspended for the next game, if he doesn't, that's a really bad look by the NBA. But even with them throwing some tantrums and the Wolves without Gobert the Wolves just swarmed on defense.

The first half defense from Wolves was probably the best defensive half from any team in NBA in maybe like nearly 2 decades, especially against a team like Nuggets....Wolves were incredibly disciplined even without DPOY
