Latest blog entries from Minnesota teams across every league
Today marks the beginning of the 2025-26 NBA regular season schedule. The Portland Trail Blazers open their new campaign Wednesday at 7:00 PM, Pacific against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Moda Center. In preparation for the big event, we’re previewing the season ahead. Today we’re going to catch you up on all the changes the […]
Losing that game really sucked because it was there to be won. In my opinion, the play of the QB doomed the offense on some critical plays. There were a couple of plays that seemed boneheaded. You really do not expect a veteran QB to do dumb things or not see a player in the […]
This was one of the best games of Jalen Hurts’ career. Against the Minnesota Vikings, Hurts finished with a perfect passer rating (158.3), completing 19 of 23 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns. The ball placement, timing, command, and confidence were all elite. This Philadelphia Eagles performance was a weird one to break down. […]
The Minnesota Wild must upgrade their top-six. Mats Zuccarello is still injured, and they are stuck with slotting both Vladimir Tarasenko and Marcus Johansson in their top six. Both Marco Rossi and Joel Eriksson Ek have to deal with their production plummeting when they’re not playing with Kirill Ka...
Scott Servais is the latest name to surface in the Orioles’ search for a new manager. The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reports that the O’s have interest in the former Mariners skipper, but it isn’t known if Servais has been formally interviewed by the team. Reports also emerged yesterday that the Twins were considering…
Annie Potts usually isn't in a hockey story, but this image seemed perfect considering the line she delivered while standing in a firehouse in New York City. One could make the case that Madison Square Garden needed a fire lit in it for tonight's game as the New York Rangers hosted the Minnesota Wild while looking to reqrite the histroy books when it came to scoring goals at home. As you may recall, the Rangers hadn't done that yet , and they stood 7:19 away from breaking the NHL's all-time re...
Bread is served—but not much else. Artemi Panarin snapped the home goose egg, yet the Rangers couldn’t build on it as Minnesota controlled nearly everything else.
That's Wild It's always nice to see a player's first. Danila Yurov was able to net his first NHL goal during the Minnesota Wild's 3-1 win over the New York Rangers Monday night. Kirill Kaprizov was his typical self, Jonas Brodin got on the stat sheet, and Filip Gustavsson was cool and collec...
“But if I ran the zoo…I’d make a few changes…that’s just what I’d do” The last two months of the 2025 Twins season produced some of the most painful-to-watch baseball this side of 2011-2014 & 2016—if not the That Which Shall Not Be Named late-1990s. Assuming that no major reinforcements are on the way, I […]
Can you believe we are a decade into this opening night predictions? I have to take a quick moment to shout out our previous Canis Hoopus overlords, John Meyer (FAQ incoming), Eric in Madison, Kyle Theige, and Jack Borman for setting a foundation of tradition and pinpoint forecasting abilities. If you really want a few […]
*Turns out if you put the Flyers up against a team with which they are evenly matched, things get really fun! RECAP ! *You may have noticed that last night, Dan Vladar got his second start in a row. Interesting, no? [ BSH ] *You may remember Matvei Michkov being benched (again) in the Flyers’ win over the Wild. Rick Tocchet had some Reasons for that, apparently. [ Inquirer ] *Rick Tocchet also said he seems some Mikko Rantanen in Owen Tippett. Boy would it be nice if that were t...

The first Centennial Night began with promise and Panarin’s goal. But the Rangers couldn’t sustain it, falling flat again at MSG.
As they do every time a team plays on Thursday Night Football, the Chargers posted an injury report that’s described “estimated,” or rather an injury report made up of names of what they would have expected if they actually went through a real practice. In all, nine players were on the estimated report. Defensive tackle […]
The Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers have issued their first injury reports ahead of their Thursday night matchup at SoFi stadium in LA. Here they are: Minnesota Vikings The Vikings did not actually practice on Monday, so this report is an estimate of their participation had they practiced. At this point I would say […]

The Eagles were able to pull off a win over the Vikings in Week 7, and did so with one of the most impressive passing games in Jalen Hurts’ career. The quarterback spoke to reporters afterward and talked about losing motivated him, how the offense worked together as a collective, and also how DeVonta Smith […]
The Portland Trail Blazers took the practice floor in Tualatin on Monday morning with just two more days to prepare for their regular-season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. However, the talk of the town wasn’t about the Timberwolves; it was about what happened over the weekend. Toumani Camara and Shaedon Sharpe, two key […]
The Minnesota Vikings will look to avoid their first losing streak of 2025 as they make a trip to the West Coast on a short week. In Week 8, the Vikings will head out to Los Angeles to face the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, a scenario similar to one they faced last year […]
After a tough loss in Week 7, the Minnesota Vikings will have a tall task ahead of them as they attempt to avoid their first losing streak of the 2025 NFL season. The early betting odds certainly reflect that sentiment. According to FanDuel, the Vikings are currently a 3-point underdog as they prepare to head […]
The Wolves Didn’t Come This Far to Only Come This Far You can count the truly great Timberwolves seasons on one hand and still have fingers left to point at old scars. 2004’s Big Three run. The Ant-KAT breakthrough that torched Phoenix and toppled Denver. Last spring’s sequel where a disjointed regular season suddenly turned […]
The Portland Trail Blazers will begin their 2025-26 NBA Season on Wednesday night with an opening night tilt against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Over the summer we covered Portland selecting Yang Hansen in the 2025 NBA Draft, trading Anfernee Simons for Jrue Holiday, signing Damian Lillard after he was waived by the Milwaukee Bucks, and much […]
What game do you have scheduled this season and why? Bryan: I have a cluster of games circled all within a 5 day span and all for the same reason. From November 14th to November 19th, the Mavs will play (in chronological order) the Los Angeles Clippers, the Portland Trailblazers, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the New York […]
The Minnesota Vikings were defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles 28-22 on Sunday. Disappointing Red Zone performances, big plays, turnovers, and some questionable calls led to a deflating loss. The offense moved the ball up and down the field with ease. They just couldn’t punch it in for a touchdown. The defense was strong, for the […]
The Los Angeles Chargers are hoping to get back in the win column as they host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8’s edition of Thursday Night Football. The Vikings are going into the game with a 3-3 record after falling to the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles at home, which is part of the reason why […]
