It’s unlikely to get better today with Simeon Woods Richardson amid arguably the worst stretch of his […]
The Minnesota Vikings have lost another piece of their history, as one of the best tight ends in team history has left us. The Vikings have announced the passing of tight end Joe Senser at the age of 69. Senser was a sixth-round pick of the Vikings in the 1979 NFL Draft from West Chester […]
Last week, the Minnesota Vikings hosted former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings for a free agent visit that lasted a couple of days and appeared to be a good fit for both parties involved.

The Minnesota Timberwolves came into Wednesday night’s Game 2 of their Western Conference Semifinals series against the San Antonio Spurs with a chance to get greedy. After taking Game 1 104-102, the Wolves had the opportunity to take a commanding 2-0 series lead before even playing a game at Target Center. Instead, the Timberwolves never […]

The first nine Nationals hitters of the game were retired, and it felt like it would be another game where the offense would struggle. However, the Nats were able to flip some sort of crazy switch and put an absolute beating on the Twins. They scored 15 runs in a game where 6 Nats hitters […]
