You might recall that a few weeks ago, after the Minnesota game I believe, I asked the staff if Purdue had a QB controversy brewing. Maybe I was just mad at the inconsistent play of Browne when I sent that question out, I’m not sure. By the time I drafted my own response I said […]

After losing to the Denver Nuggets for the first time since November of 2023, the Minnesota Timberwolves look to bounce back against a shorthanded Los […]
After getting a chance to be the starting quarterback for his childhood team, Carson Wentz was then failed by the coaches. The QB was handed the Vikings offense after J.J. McCarthy suffered an injury that would sideline him for multiple weeks, and did enough for some to wonder if he should continue to be the […]
In a normal season, you would consider Marcus Johansson a bargain. Playing on a minimum salary contract for $800,000, Johansson has four goals and seven points in his first 10 games. He went from cheap insurance in case former first-round pick Liam Ohgren didn’t leap to become a full-time NHL player...

Just three games into the NBA season, the Lakers have been decimated by injuries. Against Portland, Los Angeles had seven players out, including their two biggest stars, LeBron James and Luka Dončić. This forced the team to play all three of their two-way players and the end-of-the-bench guys. The result was predictable, as the Lakers […]
After the Carson Wentz impending surgery and move to IR, the Vikings will need to add another QB to the team. The current raging topic is about how the team and, specifically, KOC handled Wentz in the Chargers game. There are plenty of fans who feel it was inexcusable to leave him in the game […]
As the Detroit Lions take the practice field in preparation for Sunday’s divisional matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, coach Dan Campbell provided a few injury updates both for this week and the future.

The Chargers enjoyed a much needed get-right game as they demolished the Minnesota Vikings in primetime behind the return of Joe Alt protecting Herbert’s blindside.

Bye weeks present several key opportunities for NFL teams. For the Detroit Lions (5-2), their Week 8 bye afforded them the chance to get multiple players back from injury, do some self-reflection on where they need to improve, and take extra time to prepare for another division rival, the Minnesota Vikings, in Week 9. If […]
