But enough about the game, tells us about ourselves

But enough about the game, tells us about ourselves

Super Bowl, Shmooper Bowl. Let's face it: We just want to hear the national media tell us about ourselves. How do you like us? Are we nice or what? Aren't we something about the way we live in this cold place and don't get fazed by eight inches of snow and our kids being stuck on school buses until midnight?

Let’s make Monday a national holiday

Let’s make Monday a national holiday

End is near for racist baseball mascot

Chief Wahoo has been dying for a long time as the Cleveland Indians have walked a fine line between angering its mascot-embracing fans and slowly transitioning away from its use. In recent years, the team has adopted an uninspiring block 'C' as its official logo, but the wahoo still appeared on the team's uniforms.

Super Bowl showdown: economic boost or no?

Super Bowl showdown: economic boost or no?

Today's New York Times article that declares that Minneapolis St. Paul won't see the big economic windfall from the Super Bowl that its hosts thought it would probably isn't that big of a surprise to the hosts. That's pretty much why details of deals between the NFL and host cities are kept fairly secret.

It’s the ‘winter of love’ in St. Paul

It’s the ‘winter of love’ in St. Paul

We say again: Nobody does winter like the people of St. Paul. St. Paul doesn't pretend to embrace winter. It actually does, which is why Janna Armsteade and Brad Tegantvort are getting hitched.
