Each and every Friday, Racket's Keith Harris asks the crew for a watercooler prompt to get the Open Thread humming. This morning I suggested the big Twins news (who should buy the franchise?!) and the big 95-93 Lynx overtime WNBA Finals win over the New York Liberty (dynasty 2.0?!).

I'm told the Wild beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 in their season opener last night. And the Vikings, currently on a bye week, remain the hottest and most surprising team in pro football.
Or, ya know what? Talk about whatever the hell you want! The comment section is all yours.
