Happy Birthday to Patrick Reusse! It's been a privilege to help advance your career as your Schleper correspondent.

So we had some entertaining football over the weekend (Gophers, Vikings, Jags since I'm in JAX). Next is MNF and tomorrow, finally we get MACtion! Judd Zulgad Phil Mackey 🎙 Danny Cunningham

So I can't believe that Judd Zulgad hasn't commented on this greatest day of all. MACtion!

OK, now that the shutdown is over (for now) it's time to focus on something more important. Come on Disney and YouTube TV, it's time!

OK, so the House and the Senate have officially voted to reopen the government. And Trump has signed it. Waiting on you Disney and Google.

The NBC Sports Network is back, showing up first on YouTube TV and coming to other providers soon. The greatest NBCSN memories are of the NHL and Doc Emrick. Am I right Judd Zulgad?

So it appears that St. Thomas has been terribly underpaid for this trip to Fargo. @Reu

Packers. You hate to see it.

Philip Rivers gives me joy.

Snoop Dogg knocks the Lions out the playoffs!

Closed circuit to Phil Mackey 🎙, Judd Zulgad, Matthew Coller, Patrick Reusse, Chris Long Tomorrow is Hoosiers day in our house in honor of daughter #2 (IU '09). Pretty easy to root for them when the opponent is Alabama!

Do ACLs only exist so they can tear? You never hear about an ACL doing anything good. B*itchass ligament.

This Super Bowl halftime talk doesn't affect me much. I thought everyone did what I do at halftime-go to YouTube and watch Tom Petty from the 2008 Super Bowl!

Can NBC just replay the hockey game instead of showing the closing ceremony?

Michael Traikos I agree it wasn’t fair. I mean how do you expect Canada to score 3 on 3 when they couldn’t score 5 on 3 on the power play?

These politicians are so late to the party. I haven't watched a SOTU in over 50 years. (No inauguration speech either) 2 presidential speeches in that time. Nixon resignation and W after 9/11.

BUCK X FABER Buck has arrived representing Minnesota's own, gold medalist and Minnesota Wild star - Brock Faber!

Remember, guys: Get to your local watering hole early today and ask 'em to turn every TV to the Valspar Championship.

Iowa against Nebraska in the Sweet 16. Like we all had in our brackets!
