This angle gets me, where he’s just kind of standing there soaking it in, then sees his daughter and smiles, then instantly melts into tears … whew. Hell of a run, 35.

Justin Verlander was the final active player who pitched at the Metrodome. His final pitch there was a game tying RBI single by Jason Kubel on September 19, 2009. Detroit lost the game, and eventually the AL Central tiebreaker.

This is the largest home loss in Matt LaFleur's eight years as Packers head coach. Final score is Falcons 35, Packers 14. The Packers have also never started 1-2 under LaFleur.

I’m a Vikings fan. I have painful history with both of these teams. Still, this is the best NFL game in the history of the NFL.

If your reaction to this is that Nic Cage looks and sounds ridiculous, well yeah. That’s what Nic Cage does. And the movies are still always awesome somehow. Embrace it.

Getting THE call is stressful enough. Getting THE call when your new team is in Toronto, and your passport isn’t with you? 😬 @TheDoof13 recalls the chaotic road trip that ended with his dad driving him from Rochester to his first taste of the big leagues.

“If we end up hearing, ‘We tried, but just couldn’t,’ again, that’s not going to go over well.” @ZPathletic and @TheDoof13 want the Twins to turn their promise of investment into an improved roster this offseason.
