I’ve searched long and hard for a unique take on this game. Trust me. I went deep into the Take Mines armed with ropes, ladders, flashlights, pickaxes, dynamite, the whole prospector starter pack. I hunted for hours. Hours that felt like days. I scoured every corner, flipped every rock, and vowed not to rest until […]

Coming into this weekend, it felt like the Minnesota Timberwolves were in a precarious spot. They had lost their previous three games, two of which in disastrous fashion, were sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference standings, and still hadn’t defeated a team with a winning record with two straight nights against winning teams […]

The San Antonio Spurs folded in Minnesota against the Timberwolves, going 2-2 on their nine-day road trip. The latter was on the second night of a back-to-back, but they still had the legs to down a surplus of jumpers, and San Antonio’s half-court defense was shredded, which was ultimately their undoing. The Spurs weren’t facing […]

There are three things for which I am an avid fanatic- San Antonio Spurs, Star Wars, and Foo Fighters. One of my greatest joys is when the Spurs began hosting annual Star Wars nights. If they could somehow loop Dave Grohl in as Darth Vader, my universe would be complete. What’s better than getting Dave […]
