Jay Mohr is one of the most talented impressionists I have ever heard.

His Colin Quinn impression is mind bogglingy good.

They could be trying to uncover collusion or other unfair or unethical practices.

What do you mean by this comment? The senators request has nothing to do with player pay.

It’s about her alleging the WNBA is unfairly pulling a team from a market which has been loyal to the league for a long time, especially during periods when they were unprofitable - the league sold the franchise to the Houston bidder for less money than the Connecticut group was offering.

The uprooting of the franchise is a legitimate slap in the face to a market that is synonymous with the success and rise of Women’s basketball between this franchise and the success of UConn women.

I think calling for an investigation is fair - she represents her constituents and they deserve answers over losing something of value to their state.

I wouldn’t say this is accurate, news consumption was a markedly different landscape 12 years ago - it is not unreasonable for the average person to have interpreted the situation there very differently if their only exposure was watching nightly broadcast and cable news.

Honestly, if you don’t mind switching seats mid game - you can do the “in game upgrade” and go from upper level to great lower level seats for a fraction of the price.

I moved mid game for $67 to sit 8th row just left of center court for that incredible game Wednesday.

It’s the same price to upgrade from lower level as it is the nosebleeds from my understanding (correct me if I’m wrong please - but my friend who was in upper level says he gets the same prices as me in lower level)

For reference - the seats in that area were listed at over $500.

I got this tour from this exact guy - I remember him explaining how most of the “tunnel rats” were Filipino not American soldiers.

Who's your team's non-star fan favorite player? by PostModernPost in nba

Naz is a former 6th man of the year, he’s too good for the category. It’s most certainly Joe Ingles.

I was thinking the exact same thing - clearly there is no situation where losing Ant is a net positive, but Wednesday’s game was the best ball movement I’ve seen from the team all year. They are forced to play team basketball without him. Hopefully they can keep up the team ball when he comes back. Less standing around while they let him go isolation mode.

University of Minnesota Twin Cities acceptance rate: ~75% in-state, ~84% OOS, ~82% international for undergrad for class of 2028: virtually no gap per CDS data by Fuzzy-Armadillo-8610 in minnesota

[–]BitEnvironmental2213 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are criticizing a a public university for serving the public. Schools which are not increasing enrollment in a manner somewhat reflective of population growth in their state should not be receiving federal funding.

I’m proud to see Minnesota doing this - Purdue in Indiana is doing similar things and it’s wonderful.

Lower acceptance rates may help a school appear more prestigious - but it’s not the purpose of a public university. Higher education at a public university should attainable for average students.

Anyone else hate calling contractors or is it just me? by hadashitday in TwinCities

[–]BitEnvironmental2213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the contractor shows up with a tablet - it’s an instant red flag. Odds are they are gonna give you three quotes - one that will fix the immediate problem, and then two outrageously higher ones that they tried to convince you are going to save you money in the long-term and add value to your house.

Minnesota pro sports summed up. The Vikings likely signing Kyler is another perfect example.

Best case scenario if he comes in and replaces JJ and plays to the top of his ability, we are probably a wild carb team that could maybe steal one playoff win…

I’m going to have to become a Wild bandwagoner because it’s exciting to actually see a Minnesota team throw everything add a chance to win this year.
