Game 7, '91 World Series. Game tied 0-0 in the top of the 8th. Atlanta loads the bases, and anything put in play will score a run. The Twins turn a 3-2-3 double play and get out of the inning. They will win the game in the bottom of the 10th, and Jack Morris will pitch himself into the Hall. © Major League Baseball

2014 NCAA semi-finals. Game tied 1-1. Gophers are short handed and North Dakota is pouring it on with 9 seconds to go. I was on the road and ended up watching the game in the hotel bar with a ND grad. We said the same thing: "Wow." © ESPN

2014 Auburn-Alabama (the "Iron Bowl") are tied with seconds left. Alabama attempts a 55 yard field goal, which falls short. Auburn has placed a man in the end zone, who runs it back 109 yards. Not an Auburn fan, just enjoy watching Alabama lose.

Be not afraid, Senators. These patriots weren't.

Send your Republican Senators a letter and ask them to consider what future generations will think, what their grandchildren and great grandchildren will think and when they ask, "What did you do when Donald Trump strangled the life out the United States?"

Letter to Denmark

We are in peril because Donald Trump knows nothing and cares even less for our shared history, our shared threats, our shared values. He knows nothing. One can only hope that reason prevails.

In "The Last Battle," the final book of C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, "Aslan" the lion lets a disbeliever off the hook. It's almost as though Aslan had read the Beatitudes. One wishes the ICE-men in Minneapolis would read it, too.
