The Vikings' Blair Wlash made a game-tying field goal as time expired in regulation... While Thursday night's game against the Cardinals ended in typical Vikings heartache, it started with a clever skit involving two high profile government officials. Arizona Senator John McCain and our very own Senator Al Franken joined Bob Schieffer to parody a segment of Face the (Football) Nation during the intro for the NFL...

The Austin boys high school basketball team stayed unbeaten thanks to a highly improbable, buzzer-beating, full court shot in Northfield on Tuesday night. With just 1.6 seconds remaining in the game, Austin trailed the Northfield Raiders by 56-54. And then, like something from out of an unrealistic sports movie, Junior Oman Oman from Austin rebounded a missed Northfield free throw, and unleashed an 80-foot prayer that found the bottom of the net just as the final horn sounded. Austin won the game 57-56. And fortunately for us all, a cell phone camera of Oman's miracle bucket (and...

The 2015 Minnesota State Boys' Hockey Tournament wrapped up on Saturday night in St. Paul. Lakeville North won the AA Championship, capping off a perfect 31-0 season with a 4-1 victory over Duluth East in the final. In Class A, East Grand Forks won its second straight title, defeating Hermantown 5-4 in the championship game. (This was the 6th straight loss for Hermantown in the final. Ouch.) ...

Even with the Wild in the midst of an unprecedented surge, Kevin Garnett's return dominated Minnesota sports headlines last week. A video released by the Timberwolves' Youtube channel this past Friday captures the nostalgic joy that filled the Target Center during Wednesday night's re-debut of KG against the Washington Wizards.. Even if you don't care about Kevin Garnett, the Timberwolves...or basketball in general, the video is sure to make you smile. Garnett apparently...

This wonderful little video composed by Neptune Studios, in a joint collaboration of many YouTubers, is titled: "A Love Letter to Food." It could not be more appropriately named as the video's narrative covers many of the hot button issues in American food production and consumption. I'm surprised our food guru on Minnesota Connected, Deanna Olson, didn't beat me to the punch in covering this video. (I intended to write this post a month ago, but it got lost in the shuffle.) I actually helped shoot a couple of shots in this video (rack...

Since the conclusion of Breaking Bad, the Internet has been littered with tribute videos and montages -- some are good, some are bad -- but here, I present the best of the bunch, the "All Hail the King," if you will. Alexandre Gasulla edited together this gem, perfectly using voiceover from the show to perfectly accentuate the poetic visuals. Without further ado... enjoy. Get ready to have...

The video posted below is without a doubt one of the greatest to ever populate the Internet -- a little hyperbolic? Probably, but yes, it's that good. To be clear, I am more than a bit bias -- I love Emma Stone. Not only is she one of the better actresses in Hollywood today, and gorgeous, but she has that type of spunky personality that appears both on screen and in real life (<-- this link is legendary). Even outside her best movies (...

I know this post will find a lot of folks considering everyone with children has seen Frozen at least ten times. Even those who don't have children like myself have seen Frozen more than once. Because of the catchy songs, that won't leave my head for days and days I might add ("Let it Go"), Frozen has become part of the cultural fabric -- this of course warrants parody videos online, which the YouTube Channel How It Should Have Ended...

Mike Pelfrey went 5-13 last year with a 5.19 ERA — I'm no expert, but that's bad. Despite his troubles, as a reward for his service, the Twins re-signed him to a 2-year contract due to pay him a total of $11 million in 2014 and 2015. Is it just me, or does $5.5 million a year for a guy who won five games last season — with a +5 ERA—seem a little steep? Maybe the Twins are paying some of that big salary for Pelfrey's positive attitude and its effect on morale in the clubhouse? The video from ...
