Tis a great tradition. Will never forget being up close for Noah Cates' in Minny.
Start in one rink, end in another.

6:30 pregame from Minny on northlandnewsradio.com.

Yeah, Brosmer showed a few things in camp, but he did it while playing half speed football with backups. When JJ went down, the Vikings immediately needed another playing option at QB besides Wentz. If not then, certainly after Wentz got hurt in Europe.

Nothing.

IMO this is roster mismanagement.
KOC's comments after the game all make sense, but it's why Brosmer should not be on the 53-man roster. Teams get way too enamored with their own players, and the Vikings convinced themselves that someone would take Brosmer if they tried to get him on the prax squad.
If the Vikings won't put Brosmer in the game at this point, why is he on the 53 and not on the practice squad? The second McCarthy got hurt, it became very difficult to keep a rookie QB in what's basically a redshirt year.
The line is a mess. Some of that is injury, yes, but everything going wrong starts there.
The Vikings defense is not good at footballing.
Carolina and Colorado are playing high level hockey in even higher level uniforms.
*taps sign*
Someone should let Kucherov know the regular season has started.

Do the Vikings think they're in the CFL? #iykyk
Correct call. Ball clearly moved when he hit the ground. That's coming back every time.
Vikings fans might be about to riot.
Some the best work these guys have done, right up there with their annual season previews and recaps. 😁

My phone says this is an ESPN+ exclusive tonight. I believe that also means it's watchable on the Hulu.

Dude signed two days AFTER training camp started. He had people (well, me) wondering about the quality of advice he was getting in this process.

It's astonishing, frankly, and a great story.
Former Bulldogs captain Dominic James will make his NHL debut with the Tampa Bay Lightning against the team that drafted him (but he chose not to sign with), the Chicago Blackhawks tonight in Tampa.
OK this qualifies as a fun fact.
Tonight's game will end a run of 6 different Vikings-Chargers games being played in 6 different stadiums (3 in Minnesota, 2 in LA, 1 in SD).

Impossible trivia: Can you name the 3 other NFL matchups where 6 consecutive regular season games were played in 6 different stadiums?
PODCAST

We preview a Bulldogs vs Gophers kind of weekend with @umdwhockey.bsky.social coach Laura Schuler and @umdmenshockey.bsky.social forward Max Plante.

Come to hear Schu talk about the Blue Jays, stay to hear Max cut a promo on his brother's stick tape.

Hopefully this is not health related. Either way, best wishes to one of the all time greats in this business. Look forward to seeing him next Friday.
Reading ESPN, Billups' arrest was linked to an illegal poker operation tied to the Mafia.

The Mafia. In 2025.
