Our weekly Minnesota @vikings.social conversation with @mbrodkorb.bsky.social talked about the backup QB question, the haunting schedule ahead, and the reality that to develop JJ McCarthy, this season might be a wash. #Spotlight interview! soundcloud.com/user-5879035...

I never met Charlie Kirk, but he was a son, a husband, and a father. He was killed while engaging in a political discussion. We should all be sickened. I am praying for his family and for our country. We all must do better.

NEW: A new poll released by a center-right org shows 58.6% of Minnesotans are pro-choice. Will the #MNGOP platform on abortion, which includes eliminating the state constitutional right to abortion, change? Check out my new post on Substack. 🔗-> mbrdkrb.com/45OqigK

🚨 At 12:49 AM, a masked individual intentionally detonated an incendiary device—or large firework—in the trash can outside my home. It exploded, sparked a fire, and destroyed the can. My family is safe but shaken. I'm furious. The Eagan Police are actively investigating.

I turned on closed captioning "just to try it," and now I can't live without it. It feels like the gateway to shaking my fist at clouds and saying, "Back in my day…" Aging is fun!
