A political party that is morally and intellectually bankrupt deserves the rebuke of the American people. It is now time to make America good again. That is an endeavor to which all Americans can contribute, for we are not Democrats, Republicans or Independents. We are humans, and the things that unite us far exceed the things that divide us. We are the caretakers of the American experiment, and the experiment has been rejuvenated tonight.

I understand PJ Fleck has had his ups and downs. I understand the Gophers laid an egg last week against Purdue. But if, like me, you’re 48 or younger, they’ve never beaten their three biggest rivals all at the same time in your lifetime until today. Choose joy.

I’ll say it again. PTI is the best, most influential sports TV ever. 25 years of pure gold with Tony and Mike. And still the gold standard in sports TV.

How can you not be romantic about baseball?
“THE BREWERS WIN THE PENNANT. OH MY GOD THE BREWERS WIN THE PENNANT.” Jeff Levering paid tribute to legendary Brewers announcer Bob Uecker on his final out call of the Brewers defeating the Dodgers. Take 2 minutes out of your day to listen to this.

This is beautiful
The perfect ending for Justin Verlander. His daughter runs out to the mound and he walks off with his family. Feels like a movie.

Wonderful to have the Hormel Institute host President Cunningham and the University of Minnesota Board of Regents in Austin. As a proud U of MN alum, it was special to help show off our community and the incredible, world-class work that is being done here.

A hero and a Johnnie.
Twenty-four years apart, Tom Burnett ’85 and his nephew Devin O’Brien ’05 each faced an unimaginable moment and made the choice to act for others. Their stories are connected by family, Saint John’s and shared commitment to service when it mattered most: csbsju.edu/news/from-9-11-to…
