Won't someone think of the manosphere influencers?

Can't believe I have to ask this, but it sure seemed like Will Reichard's potential game-tying field goal Sunday hit a wire and caromed off to the right. More here: www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...

I wrote today at The Friscalating Dusklight about the one analog holdout I have in a digital world: physical copies of books. open.substack.com/pub/thefrisc...

Got asked on the postgame pod about the kick Reichard missed potentially hitting a wire. I was like: "What?" But there seems to be video evidence. Anyway, here's the postgame pod www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJVa...

Wow. Got asked about this in the postgame pod and hadn't see the replay yet. Seems like there's no doubt?

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

A development: left guard Donovan Jackson, who underwent left wrist surgery 11 days ago, is back at practice. Joe Huber still at left guard in OL drills at open portion. Dallas Turner is back. No J.J. McCarthy in the rain.

Vikings postgame podcast is up. Tons to digest after a furious rally falls short in a 24-21 loss to the Steelers. This team has a lot of issues, to put it mildly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-4C...

The Vikings’ run game seemed to work as they envisioned in Sunday’s win. A big part of that? The team’s “bruiser,” Jordan Mason, who teammates also call a fierce competitor and a jokester, and who rushed for 116 yards and a pair of TDs. Read: www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...

New today: Wrote about and talked with Patrick Reusse on Daily Delivery pod: What happens if Carson Wentz plays well and wins the next two Vikings games? www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Vikings postgame pod is live! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMQL...

Vikings game is functionally in garbage time, so I'm going to start recording the postgame pod in about 2 minutes (hopefully giving me enough time to catch my breath and do it all again for the Lynx playoff game at 4). Questions? Comments?

For those that didn't hear this on the broadcast... Cornerback Isaiah Rodgers is the only player in NFL history with two defensive touchdowns and two forced fumbles in the same game. He did it in the first half.

New today: Daily Delivery pod featuring an extended segment on Kirill Kaprizov, Daily Delivery debate w/La Velle E. Neal III. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... Video segment with La Velle: Does Carson Wentz give the Vikings a better chance to win SUNDAY than JJ? www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8az...

Indiana becomes the first lower seed to win a first-round series since the WNBA went back to series in 2022.

Kirill Kaprizov talking about his contract status and future with the Wild. I have opinions about where things stand, but I'll just leave this here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDEG...

In which I bravely confront the reality of Carson Wentz as the Vikings new starting QB defector.com/j-j-mccarthy...

The #Vikings are signing former Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder to the active roster, a source confirms. Ridder gives them a third healthy QB this week with J.J. McCarthy nursing a sprained ankle.

I wrote about J.J. McCarthy's injury and trying to find some upside in the timing of his absence. www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...

From TCO Performance Center: @bengoessling and I discuss the news of J.J. McCarthy's injury, the play that caused it and what the offensive outlook is with recently-acquired veteran QB Carson Wentz taking over under center. youtu.be/r8fsFJxxtDs

J.J. McCarthy dealing with an ankle sprain and is not expected to play Sunday vs the Bengals, Kevin O'Connell just told reporters. "That was something we were able to determine today... We'll get Carson Wentz ready to go."

New today: Daily Delivery with Reusse mostly on the horrors of the #vikings (but also about the dominant Lynx). podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p... Wrote about the SNF broadcast crew not holding back on J.J. McCarthy + speculating about Jefferson. www.startribune.com/vikings-falc...

Kevin O’Connell said before J.J. McCarthy left for the hospital yesterday, he gave him some pointers on what to say in the car. “And, more importantly,” the father of four said, “what not to say.”

Pod is up! youtu.be/TRV0iKEwQpE

I missed the first 10 min or so of the game because my toddler took himself to the potty to poop for the first time, so of course I sat with him, encouraged him to take as much time as he needed, and praised him endlessly. Totally worth it. I see many parallels with the Vikings’ performance tonight.

Unreal Vikings comeback. Huge moxie and plays from McCarthy. Gonna go live here with a postgame pod in 5 minutes. Your questions/thoughts!?
