I know he's had that recent off the court drama but that dude is literally in the gym at 6:00 to 7:00 a.m. every single day, even on the weekend. Every morning he's posting Instagram videos of him working out in the gym for hours going all out, even having one-on-one battles with his dad who is sucking wind when trying to keep up with his son Malik.

Even now today he is in the gym at 6:00 a.m. and he was giving Jake layman and some other people shit because they didn't show up, they must have some kind of competition board because one of the slots was who showed up at the facility the most consecutive days and Beasley just wiped out layman's name and put his in.

He's obviously a bit of a dumbass in his personal life but it looks like he is every bit as obsessed with the game as we've heard, he can't be that big of a partier either if he is in the gym for 4 hours that early virtually every single day!

Yes. Haha. Can we start one called "Dark web data mining?" Or something of the sort. Maybe we can put stuff like grainy videos of prospects taking jumpers in unknown gyms in there too.

Back on topic Bloop! Good to hear Beasley is working his butt off. He does bring an edge that our other two "stars" seem to be missing. One's off court troubles and misadventures may not translate to on court troubles and misadventures. Still, I'd root for him a whole lot harder if he hadn't been such a knucklehead off the court.

Here is one Instagram video. Q your guy Vanderbilt is in here as well as Okogie and a bunch of Wolves end of the roster guys. Hagans always looks bigger to me than his measurements.

Second of all, let me offer my condolences to anyone else on this board who suffered losses due to COVID-19. Whatever differences we may or may not have had about the Wolves/Twins/Vikings/Wild, you didn't deserve that and I wish you the best.

I do not know of a loss I have suffered in the truest sense of the word, but both of my parents were scheduled to have "pain-alleviating" procedures that were put on hold because the hospital said they needed "all hands on deck" to battle the COVID cases. I am in FL and they are in Hennepin County, so I don't get to see them much. They tell me they are not taking opioids, but even some of those OTC painkillers are really bad for you.

My experience with COVID-19 was not horrible. I may have had a weaker strain, or I have a good constitution, but it was just 4 days of sleep and distilled water (very slimming).

Now down to business. WolvesFan, you and I need to talk.

First of all, whether you want to believe it or not, Ted Turner is very much your kind of guy. And I have two stories that will illustrate that.
1) The first year he owned the Braves (1977), he fired the manager and appointed...himself. When Commissioner Bowie Kuhn caught wind of this, he told him to knock it off or he would withhold TV revenue and draft picks (You see, sports commissioners used to care, instead of functioning as the "31st owner"), so he rehired that manager, fired him at the end of the year, replaced him with Bobby Cox, who promptly decided to stop wasting future 2-time MVP Dale Murphy at C and moved him to RF (imagine that), and the rest is history that is easily researched and doesn't require doctored video on youtube at all.
2) Ted Turner used his cable holdings to absorb TIME magazine, a republican bastion just to left of the New Republic. He then used all that to acquire half of AOL. When Turner found out that AOL CEO Gerald Levin fudged the revenue numbers (which had never happened before, just ask the Bible), he called Levin an "Effin K-word" at a board meeting. (Yes, Levin is a hebrew last name. And that Bald Garden-Gnome named Levin you listen to everyday on your AM radio? Exactly)

Now to the part that involves your effort to perform cross-country fellatio on Rupert Murdoch.
In 1997, Murdoch began negotiations to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers. Then somebody thought "I know. I'll ask wallflower Ted Turner what he thinks". Turner gave a very measured response: "Look, I'll be fine because the Braves are on TBS. But these other teams who have games on FoxSports(Whatever) need to think about what they are creating." You see doctor, I don't know if word reached your holler, but the "Fox" in "Foxnews" is also the "Fox" in "Foxsports". And if you put your theenking cap on, you'll realize it makes zero sense for the owner of the San Fransisco Giants to try to get more local TV revenue from....the owner of the Los Angeles Dodger.

Murdoch's response to this was 3-Fold
1. I'm not a monster - Well, I know some analog cell phone users from England who would like a word.
2. "Turner snuck around" - Bullshit. Say what you want about Turner, but he doesn't do "sneak around". He told everyone from ESPN to CatFancy exactly how he felt.
3. He's just upset about my super-neato new cable "news" network and my new heart throb Bill O'Reilly - Possibly. But you have to give Turner credit. He at least used his brain instead of cutting and pasting Wikipedia pages, am I right?

Well, whatever Murdoch told the other owners worked and he was allowed to buy the Dodgers. He owned them 6 years and they didn't make the playoffs any of those years. To put that into context, CARL POHLAD'S TEAM made the playoffs twice, and would have made the World Series if someone besides Cory Koskie had showed up (Never got the credit he deserved. I mean Koskie, not Pohlad.) Turns out there is more to winning baseball games than making up stories about the other team.

He then sold the team. I seem to remember him needing the money to buy Manchester United (I don't know if word has reached your holler there Captain America, but Manchester United is a SOCCER TEAM FROM ENGLAND). I could research this, but I just realized something: In the last 10 minutes, I have posted more undisputed facts than you have your whole life, so I'm going to wrap this up.

To sum up, you "Bore False Witness" against complete stranger Ted Turner, which had zero effect on his life, to curry favor and/or cash (as if) from Rupert Murdoch, who wouldn't cross the street to pee in your mouth if you were dying of thirst AND he could find your holler on a map, all because Murdoch is head cheerleader for a President who would gladly use his "University" to steal all your money if you had any to steal, but instead hurt the feelings of a bunch of people who didn't deserve it. Nice work. And while we're on the subject: NICE AVATAR! So tell me something. If your guy is president, and your guys are in charge of the Senate, but the country is in "distress", what does that say exactly about your guys? And what's your plan two months from now? Openly weeping at the Veterans of Popular Wars?

The thing is, you are god-awful enough at sports that you don't need your crap politics. Your "Elite QB" post was inspired....by Jagrmeister. So what you're saying is the Vikes can pay Cousins $30m a year to throw the ball to the other jersey if they have an Elite RB (check), Elite coach (...Eh), and THREE-TO-FIVE HOF'S ON D (good players, not HOF's). And great Doug Williams reference. I can't speak to the TV reception in your holler in January 1988, but mine was crystal clear as a I watched Darrin Nelson drop a game tying touchdown pass on the game's final play, or you could have had Wade Wilson on your list. And yes, the NFL is 2020 is just like is was in 1980. Just ask New Orleans and Dallas.

This ends now, or you'll have (at least) one sworn enemy.

Now I know what you're thinking: "Of the 15 guys who get in drunk every Friday Night in the parking lot of my holler's Pizza Ranch, I have like the 5th coolest mullet and 8th coolest truck, so I'll be fine." Maybe. But is it worth the risk?

With that said, I'm with future and wolves fan. Nothing is for certain, but to me the probability is very high that this was man made. Like someone said, it aids in depopulation and destroys small businesses. I wrote a lot more, that I just decided to delete, because... people believe what they want to believe. One thing I won't delete... this whole thing was simulated by the "elites" near the end of 2019 ... again, it's very real, and people's losses are very real, I'll just saying that not all "conspiracies" are false... sometimes where there's smoke, there's fire.

Also, vaccines are commonly used to accomplish depopulation (in one way or another)... I won't mention names, but the people who are pushing for a mandatory vaccine are also the same people in favor of depopulation). Again, people believe what they want and it is what it is, but just throwing it out there. Go wolves and if they ever decide to trade towns, I'll help him pack and give him a ride to the airport

Like basketball, there are various credible sources that can be used to reach logical conclusions. This is no different except the matter is off the court. There's more than enough evidence to suggest that both of the following statements are true.

1. COVID-19 is a potentially lethal virus -- specifically to those that are elderly and/or victim to underlying conditions.

2. Politicians and mainstream media have successfully used fear mongering concerning COVID-19 to control the masses.

Unlike basketball stats, all of the credible sources take Covid very seriously for all levels of the population and not those just at risk. Also unlike basketball stats, there are limitations to who has the authority to provide credible data on this issue. The absolute consensus of all credible research on the virus is that everyone should take transmission seriously, regardless of personal risk. There is no grey area amongst credible sources of data.

How much fear the media wants to draw from that consensus is definitely varied. But there is legitimate reason for fear when so much of the public ignores real facts by real experts and opts for psuedo-science as an acceptable alternative.

I almost completely disagree with your response on this, as you likely do with mine, but I have no doubts about your morality. You do seem like a person of good character. I just think you're missing the bigger picture on this one.

What Cam said. You can usually find data to back your opinion/agenda on almost any topic. This is definitely not an exception.

You can find lots of data on Coivd, but not everyone is equipped to interpret this data. Everyone who is properly equipped to interpret the data on Covid takes it very seriously. There is no debate on its seriousness by anyone who is a legitimate expert in virology, epidemiology, or physicians who are infectious disease specialists. There may be fringe outliers who say its not an issue, but they aren't presenting any data and there has yet to be any reputable, peer reviewed, medical or scientific publication that has presented anything beyond the reality that Covid transmission is very serious amongst the whole population.
