  • Curt Schilling questions character of Kirby Puckett in Hall of Fame rant
    Kirby Puckett has had his dirty laundry aired in public (at least in the media) on multiple occasions, perhaps most notably in this 2003 Sports Illustrated piece, three years before his early death. It is a part of the Puckett story that most Twins fans either honestly don’t know about or choose to forget about — or, at the most, gloss over when thinking about the baseball hero. The less-than-perfect side of Puckett the human, in fact, gets buried so deep that it becomes somewhat shocking when someone brings up his name in a negative way. More

  • Keeler: Sorry, Miro. Avalanche star Cale Makar is still NHL’s real Stanley Cup hero
    Denver Post, Thursday - 05/16/2024 - 10:40 AM

    Spare the wreaths. Hold the psalms. You come to bury Cale Makar, you better come correct. Lordy, the yapping. The peanut gallery on X tapped out 150-character obits, a troll at a time. ESPN spent much of Avalanche-Stars Game 5 speaking of Makar as if he’d retired at age 25. For several hours, the greatest defenseman of his generation — of several, now that you mention it — was getting his mugshot cropped for the 2024 NHL Awards show’s “In Memoriam” segment.
