Wrote about J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings basically admitting they were overloading him with information. www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi... Plus I talked McCarthy and more with La Velle E. Neal III on today's Daily Delivery podcast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkVJ...

BODACIOUS IGNATIUS

Congrats @randball.bsky.social

Dart's reaction is so pure, he looks like every malcontented high school kid in a 1980s movie

Postgame Vikings podcast is up for all the sickos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUAJ...

Seven years and five teams since he was drafted No. 3 overall, Sam Darnold has found a home in Seattle and is returning to a level of regard he lost when the Jets discarded him early. “He just needed the right place, the right fit, the right opportunity” bit.ly/3LZOhCq

"I was never the most athletic guy, never the strongest guy, but I felt like I could do it better with my mind on the field. That’s playing NFL quarterback, in my opinion.” www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...

Happy Thanksgiving! La Velle and I talked about the Vikings QB situation for the holiday edition of Daily Delivery. What's the best-case scenario for the rest of this year? What is the contingency for 2026? www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O8P... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/v...

Rewatching Karate Kid and reminded how little karate there is in this movie

People are calling my lede here "appalling," "nightmare fuel," "actively evil," and "a desecration of the human spirit"

Wrote about a simple idea that has considerable implications: What if Max Brosmer starts Sunday for the Vikings and plays well? www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...

I wrote about a curious bird. If you'd like a break from Vikings angst, here it is: thefriscalatingdusklight.substack.com/p/what-is-th...

Our Access Vikings crew just posted an emergency pod on the McCarthy concussion/Brosmer possibly starting news. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwsE...

Had Max Brosmer on Daily Delivery almost exactly a year ago during his senior season with the Gophers. Worth a watch/listen as he (perhaps) prepares for his first NFL start with the Vikings: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyRS...

Excited to bring you a super show of sorts on today's Daily Delivery. Registered #sportsdad @jzulgad.bsky.social from @SKORNorth joined me to talk: -- JJ McCarthy Paradox -- 3 most disappointing Vikings -- Packers week www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-BO... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Got a good Access #Vikings newsletter coming today, looking at why rookie contracts for QBs make it harder to sit a first-round pick for multiple years like the Packers did with Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers. You can sign up for the free newsletter here: link.email.startribune.com/join/7v1/sig....

recording a vikings postgame pod. Your thoughts?

Justin Jefferson talked this week about restoring some of the youthful energy to his game, while J.J. McCarthy knows he needs to grow up on the job as fast as he can. A look at the #Vikings' QB-WR duo at a bit of an inflection point: www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...

I had a good time talking Twins with @randball.bsky.social on the Star Tribune's podcast. Audio: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awvm...

If one of Pablo Lopez, Joe Ryan or Byron Buxton are traded, could the other two soon follow? That theory and more was part of Friday's Daily Delivery podcast deep dive into the Twins with @aarongleeman.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awvm...

New Daily Delivery episode featuring first-time guest @jonkrawczynski.bsky.social. We went deep on the Wolves: Is the Wolves' identity morphing? What do we make of Jaden McDaniels? Are we thinking about point guard all wrong? Are there a lot of bad West teams? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li1U...

New today: Fans were mad at Kevin O'Connell after Sunday's loss. @andrewkrammer.bsky.social invites us to take a closer look at J.J. McCarthy's misses in that game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3SU...

Been reading the comments, which I know isn't always a good idea, and Vikings fans are MAD at the head coach.

Vikings postgame pod is live. I'm calling this the most frustrating game they've played all year, and yes I'm aware there are plenty of contenders. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3PI...

Recording a postgame Vikings podcast shortly. You are probably frustrated. Let's hear it

Another @jonmarthaler.com appreciation tweet. He writes such a fun, easy gamer with soul — and that’s just not easy to do; ask me, I know. I have a gift for you all: www.startribune.com/takeaways-mi...

Wrote and talked today about J.J. McCarthy and "the hour between dog and wolf." www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi... www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSXB...

Some postgame of Karl-Anthony Towns in which he says he still feels “stunned” about the trade more than a year later.

Great film breakdown of Sunday's 27-24 Vikings win over the Lions from @andrewkrammer.bsky.social, while I chipped in with alarmist takes and wore my new pug stocking cap. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S6G...

So much to unpack. I'll get to it all on the Vikings' postgame Daily Delivery podcast recording in a couple minutes. Your thoughts on a 27-24 win at Ford Field over the Lions?
