My Great-Great Grandfather, Ed Rogers, is being inducted into the Minnesota Sports Hall of Fame Today. I couldn’t be more proud of his accomplishments not only on the field but, even more-so, off of it. A thread (1/6)

Jon Krawczynski on LaMelo Ball’s game: “The scrutiny that LaMelo gets on his game, it seems to be a lot more rooted in do you like his personality or do you not?…Is that kind of blinding you to the fact that when he’s on the floor everyone shoots better?” (via @TeamNBAReport)

Jaden McDaniels, perfect wing compliment stars... Versatile. Hangs on elite guards on the perimeter while being arguably the best weakside rim protecting wing in the NBA. Hits 3s at an accurate clip. Efficient finisher. Transition bomber. Real hoops.

RT @JonKrawczynski: @SpursReporter The post you made dancing on @JandersonSacBee’s misfortune was disgustingly shameful and distasteful. It…

LaMelo Ball, quietly one of the best offensive rebounding PGs in the NBA… Follows his own shot consistently. Instinctual positioning & timing + quick to the ball. Most of his OREBs lead to points. Love when stars have elite auxiliary skills like this.

Clippers did all that circumventing and the only trophy that came of it was Pablo's pulitzer

You simply have to hand it to ESPN for going all in on Pat McAfee and letting former employee Pablo Torre dogwalk the entire network on the biggest NBA story in years

Enes Kanter and Royce White are reportedly dating, per @TMZ_Sports

Our team, our local program partners, and every operational partner who helps make this program possible each month are heartbroken at the loss of our founder, Dolly Parton. (cont.)

Reeve said she spoke with Lore about a week before news of the sale became public, and that she and Rodriguez spoke for a “long time” on Sunday. Marc Stad called Reeve last week, she said, and the two “had a great conversation.” Reeve also expressed her excitement for Elisa Stad’s involvement. “I’m really excited the way he feels about Elisa, his wife, and the position that she’ll take,” Reeve said. “There’s a lot of alignment in Marc, the way he’s conducted his life and his business that sort of parallel the WNBA and how the Lynx have cared about women’s empowerment.”

The doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in a one-room Tennessee cabin in 1946 was paid with a sack of cornmeal. Her father farmed other people's land and could not read or write. Eighty years later, the reading program she built in his name has mailed more than 300 million books. She wrote "I Will Always Love You" on the same afternoon she wrote "Jolene," as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner, and released it in 1974. Elvis wanted it. The night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker called and said Presley would only record it if they got half the publishing, meaning half of everything the song ever earned. She had been in Nashville ten years by then. She said no, and cried all night. Whitney Houston cut her version in 1992, held number one for fourteen weeks, and Forbes later put Parton's royalties from it near $10 million. She put some of that money into an office complex in Nashville and called the place the house that Whitney built. Dollywood opened in Pigeon Forge in 1986 because she wanted paychecks in the county she came from. Around 4,000 people work there now. Three million visitors come every year. The University of Tennessee put its economic impact at $1.8 billion, and it is the largest employer in Sevier County. Since 2022 the company has paid tuition, fees, and books in full for every worker from their first day, seasonal hires included. Wildfires tore through those mountains in November 2016, killing fourteen people and destroying more than 2,400 buildings. Her foundation was handing out money within 48 hours. Every family that lost a home got $1,000 a month for six months, regardless of income. The final check was $5,000. Total delivered: $8.9 million. In April 2020 she sent $1 million to Vanderbilt for coronavirus research. When Moderna's vaccine results ran in the New England Journal of Medicine that November, her fund appeared in the footnotes. Carl Dean, her husband of nearly sixty years, died in March 2025. The note she wrote to fans afterward ended with the same five words she wrote for Porter Wagoner back in 1974. She died in Nashville today. Her family asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library, which still mails 3.4 million books a month to children who will never get to meet her.

Couldn’t be more excited for @Y0Leo and @Tlo_L_W, who will be excellent stewards of Canis Hoopus and are extraordinarily deserving of the opportunity. Can’t wait to see the site thrive under their leadership!

🚧 UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT 🚧 Step aside, Mr. & Mrs. Stad. Canis Hoopus introduces their new Site Managers. @Y0Leo & @Tlo_L_W want to hear what you want, and also share their vision for the best Timberwolves internet bar 🍻 canishoopus.com/general/6842…

I joined the Canis Hoopus community in 2011. I became a staff writer in 2020. I got my 1st credentialed opportunity in 2023. I'll now be one of the Site Managers in 2026. What a journey it's been, and I can't be more elated to partner w/ @Tlo_L_W! We're bringing Canis back 🙏

New ownership is prioritizing a reconciliation with Glen Taylor after the previous regime’s fallout — and plans to revive a long awaited statue honoring Taylor outside the team’s future new arena, signaling an effort to close the book on the franchise’s contentious ownership saga

What I’m told on what is always the biggest question in a change of ownership power: Stad is fully on board with Lore and Rodriguez’s position that they will not move the Wolves and Lynx and is all in on building a new arena in Minnesota.
