You know someone's just been yankering to get that word into a tweet ...
Maybe that historically horseshit performance by Wentz is the kick in the anus the Vikings needed to aggressively pursue a QB who is so good even mule-stubborn KOC can't eff him up.

Missing one: Colts 1969 -- Joe Kapp throws record seven TD passes as Vikings put up 52 on Don Shula's defending NFL champions.
Greatest Vikings regular-season wins: 1. Cleveland '80 - Rashad's Hail Mary 2. Packers '98 – Moss' coming out party; broke GB's 29-game home win streak 3. Buffalo '24 – JJ's catch; Josh Allen fumble 4. Colts '24 – Vikes set all-time comeback record 5. Packers '09 – Favre's return to Lambeau

I'll take Jackass Opinions for $800, Alex!
There is no blue wave materializing so far as of 3 p.m. ET today. Republicans are surging in Florida, and I think the polls are about to be proven wrong yet again. Democrats predicted a massive wave, but the voting data tells a different story. We'll see how tonight unfolds.

#3985: Tough matchup but who thinks the Vikes go 7-0? At least one guy who doesn't is Kevin Cusick -- @theloopnow -- from the Pioneer Press, and he explains why in today's show ... spreaker.com/episode/3985-to…

how long has it been since the World Series came to Milwaukee? This long ...
The last time the Milwaukee Brewers were in the World Series you could get 12 8-track tapes for only a dollar through The Gorman Thomas Tape Club®.

Dr. Francesa is not the medical authority that, say, RFK Jr. is ...
Dr. Francesa, last night: "Dart's injury, without any question... WITHOUT any question... is minimal." It might be a week or so. (He knows about these things because he's had two knee replacements.)

While it's obvious we'll learn a lot more about these Cats next Friday in Bloomington ... it's encouraging there appears to be a competent QB in Evanston. Big lesson from tonight: Colorado significantly inferior to NU's Week 1 foe South Dakota St. ... sports.yahoo.com/articles/ra…

“Trump Derangement Syndrome” is a fun little concept. There absolutely are normal Trump decisions that make people madder bc they dislike him so much. But if you’d said two years ago, “Trump will threaten to bulldoze the Kennedy Center unless his name is on it,” you’d have been hospitalized for late stage TDS.

... a reminder that the average IQ of a person using the term "libtard" is roughly equal to the IQ of a garden slug ...
Replying to @theloopnow
@theloopnow did you really need to crank a dumb talking point in picking the winner of Vikes vs Packers? The Hegseth dig is pathetic. Great you're a libtard, we get it, and we know it.....you work for a newspaper after all!

Belfast's Titanic museum .... impressive on every level ...
Headed to Ireland for a 10 day trip on Saturday, then onto Edinburgh, Scotland for 3 more. Anyone have highlights - must see destinations? And should I kiss the Blarney Stone?

It’s amazing. Great sightlines, incredible amenities. The magnitude of the upgrade is hard to overstate. It would be like playing a muni with artificial turf tee boxes your whole life, then being told you’re now playing every round at Augusta. 1st class in every sense of the word

"ESPN personality Pat McAfee released an album of original music on Friday. Critics say if the album is played backwards, the listener could hear hidden demonic messages. More worrying still, if the album is played forward, the listener could hear original music by Pat McAfee."

Just so non-golfers know... No 80-year-old on earth with a pancake swing and the chip yips has ever shot TEN SHOTS under his age. Club members let him win because nobody wants to get audited the rest of their lives. #CommanderInCheat

Our summer intern, Anya, has been fantastic This is her last week This story, which ran in yesterday’s paper, is my favorite thing she’s done. It’s a blast to read A day in the life of the screaming, oinking, bottle-fed face of the Saints: HaMelo Ball twincities.com/2026/08/03/a-…

Coolest feature might be the 2,000-capacity student standing-room-only section behind south end zone ... very Premier League ...
Wow. This place looks amazing. The old Ryan Field - while historic - was brutally substandard. This'll be huge for Northwestern.

Impressive. Quite.
Had to lock in on yesterday’s Immaculate Grid and show everyone that the commish still has it like that. Yes, that’s a score of zero.
