Latest blog entries from Minnesota teams across every league
The Detroit Lions’ playoff chances are little to none, but the boys in Honolulu Blue still have to suit up again on Christmas Day. They leave their families (or put them in planes) to head to Minnesota to take on the 7-8 Vikings. Detroit has dropped in nearly every power ranking, as many agree they’re […]
For the first time ever, the Detroit Lions will be featured live on streaming giant Netflix, as they take on the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day at 4:30 p.m. ET. For some, that may be an exciting new platform to catch their favorite team. But for most, I sense, it’s yet another streaming service to […]
My hopes were high for my bold prediction last week before kick off, but quickly the prediction was wrong. This time, my prediction has four quarters to stay alive. On Christmas afternoon, the Detroit Lions travel on the road to take on the Minnesota Vikings in a complete 180 from last season’s ending. While the […]
Week 16 of the NFL regular season came to a close with 17 Maryland football alumni seeing the field. Veteran wide receivers D.J. Moore and Stefon Diggs both had significant performances to push their respective teams closer to the playoff stage. Moore made the game-winning catch to seal a marquee win over the Green Bay […]
The Detroit Lions aren’t quite dead yet. If the improbable results of them finishing out by winning their two remaining games (at Vikings, at Bears), combined with the Green Bay Packers losing out (vs. 49ers, at Vikings), happen, the Lions will have managed to sneak their way into the postseason. But after Sunday’s loss to […]
The Detroit Lions come into town on Christmas Day to take on our Minnesota Vikings. This game probably looked a lot juicier at the beginning of the season. Both teams have had disappointing seasons and the Lions are likely to join the Vikings in the land of the eliminated soon.. The Vikings went on the […]
It’s still a little weird seeing Karl-Anthony Towns in another team’s uniform. On the night before Christmas Eve, the Minnesota Timberwolves took on Towns and the New York Knicks in a game that was far less emotional than last year’s game between these two teams in Minnesota. While Towns has settled in with his new […]
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Minnesota Vikings have claimed recently waived Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Brett Rypien off waivers, with starter J.J. McCarthy (hand) already out this week: Before this past Monday’s primetime game, the Colts waived Rypien, who had previously been signed to the active roster a week prior to serve as […]
The NBA must have expected this to be a lively game. For the New York Knicks’ (20*-9) visit to the Minnesota Timberwolves (20-10), the league enlisted an officiating crew of Josh Tiven, Sean Corbin, and Michael Smith. By my count, that’s 76 years of NBA officiating experience. Turns out, the league was right. With the […]
The Minnesota Vikings won an ugly 16-13 affair in the swamps of Jersey against the New York Giants to improve to 7-8 on the season. Another injury to J.J. McCarthy overshadowed the victory, this time to his throwing hand. The good news appears to be that there are no broken bones, but his availability for […]
The New York Knicks (20*-8) head to Minnesota with the wind at their backs. They’ve won 11 of their last 13 and an NBA Cup full of money. Tonight they’ll be shorthanded, though, with a tough test before them. The rested Timberwolves (19-10) have won nine of their last 13, and led by Anthony Edwards, […]

It’s hard to imagine this type of seismic trade just a few days after the Minnesota Timberwolves seemingly did the impossible and handed the Oklahoma City Thunder a loss on top of the ever glorious Prince-inspired court. Maybe that win is enough to get the Wolves out of their early season funk. Maybe they return […]
The Detroit Lions (8-7) and Minnesota Vikings (7-8) have released their latest injury reports as both teams prepare for a Christmas Day showdown. The Lions held another walkthrough on Tuesday, meaning each player’s practice participation level is estimated by the coaching staff, projecting each injured player’s involvement had there been a regular practice.

Right around 48 hours out from their Christmas Day game against the Detroit Lions, we have the answer to who will be starting at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. . .and it will not be J.J. McCarthy. Head coach Kevin O’Connell announced just moments ago that McCarthy has a hairline fracture in […]
A Vikings win is always great! However, the injury to JJ McCarthy really stinks. The team really needs to be able to evaluate his play on the field which has seen ups and downs. The ups have been really nice while the downs can mostly be chalked up to him having very little snaps. The […]

Next up in our look back at the A’s players in 2025, we turn back to the position player side of things by remembering the season with Brent Rooker. How did the former All-Star and Silver Slugger fare in 2025? How was he acquired? Brent was drafted twice by the Minnesota Twins. He was originally […]
The Minnesota Vikings won their 3rd game in a row, defeating the NY Giants, 16-13. It wasn’t the most exciting game for fans to watch, with only 3.6 yards per play. The Vikings did see some of the veteran stars come alive with Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones having a nice game. The defense was […]
It’s often said that nobody cares about the Pro Bowl, outside of players who have incentives for such things written into their contracts. Based on the announcement that was made just an hour or so ago, fans of the Minnesota Vikings now have even less reason. . .if that’s possible. . .to care about this […]
When the Minnesota Wild signed Nico Sturm over the offseason, it wasn’t quite the splash many had hoped for on the Wild’s proverbial Christmas Morning. While it wasn’t the most eye-catching acquisition, the Wild brought Sturm in to fit a particular role. The German forward has carved out a nic...

Imagine their frequent flyer miles! Today, the New York Knicks (20*-8) will zip to Minnesota to face the Timberwolves (19-10) of the hinterlands. Then they’ll have to jet home in time to play the Christmas Day matinee. Let’s hope they’ve had time to wrap Christmas presents, or, like this extravagantly rich writer, have a well-paid […]

Crazy how much a year can change things, huh? Last season, the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings were the top two teams in the NFC, fighting not just for the division but for the top seed in the conference. This year? Both are at the bottom of the division; one team is eliminated from […]
