The fact Sam Darnold remains at No. 29 in the latest
@ringer
QB rankings is absurd.
Having Will Levis, Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson (who isn't playing!!), and even Jacoby Brissett ranked higher is lunacy. Lunacy, I tell you!
Remember in The Office when Michael started the Michael Scott Paper Company, and an accountant tells them their low prices are putting them out of business, so Michael has to call back clients asking for more money?
That's the Red Sox. They're the Michael Scott Paper Company.
The Vikings have bested: Matt Ryan, Derek Carr, Carson Wentz, Matthew Stafford and Dak Prescott; yet have no idea how to handle Chase Daniel, Matt Moore and Brandon Allen???
Love this comments on the
@SKORNorth
YouTube channel:
"Kirk Cousins is a double bacon cheeseburger at McDonalds... Sure, he might be the best thing on the menu, but 10 other teams are eating Wendy's baconators across the street for less..."
Joe Burrow has taken the most sacks in the NFL, has a defense that’s slightly below league average, a weirdo head coach and his team has a playoff spot clinched. It’s almost like he’s a QB who knows what it takes to overcome less than ideal circumstances. Weird.
Remembering my mom, St. Eileen, who left us on this day seven years ago. Still feels like yesterday. We miss her terribly. Little by little I try to have an ounce of the mountain of patience she had. It’s not going so well 🙃. Hug your mom friends.
It’s been six years since my mom’s unexpected departure from us. Every year that passes, the accomplishments, and trials and tribulations grow. I miss her every day.
Chiefs moves on from Alex Smith
Bills moved on from Tyrod
Chargers moved on from Rivers
Bengals moved on from Dalton
Ravens moved on from Flacco
Cardinals moved on from… everyone
So don’t tell me your scared of life after Cousins.
"I"ll give you a dark horse team that makes sense is the Minnesota Wild, who have come on and could really use him."

on Claude Giroux's trade market 👀 via TSN.
Vikings first-round picks since 2016:
2016: Treadwell (cut)
2017: None (aka Sam Bradford)
2018: Hughes (traded)
2019: Bradbury (trending towards bust)
2020: Jefferson (ALL-RPO); Gladney (limbo)
Thank god for Justin Jefferson, I guess.
Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has won reelection in Minnesota, defeating his Republican challenger, Dr. Scott Jensen. Walz made support for abortion rights a centerpiece of his campaign and overcame conservative anger over his pandemic restrictions.
Tipping back some high life today in remembrance of my dad, who left us 16 years ago. Lot of big stuff happening lately that I’d like to share with him. However, he now shares a death date with O.J., and I’d love to know his feelings on being bestowed such an honor…
According to ESPN's Kiley McDaniel, the
#MNTwins
farm system now ranks 4th in MLB, up from 9th in their preseason rankings. Only the Orioles, Rays, and Dodgers rank higher.
"We never trade top prospects, we never trade top prospects, we never trade top prospects!!!"
"Wait omg they had the audacity to trade their top prospect??? Wtf?!"
There's just no winning with fans. Ever.

Royce Lewis has started baseball activities. He swung off a tee and stood in on some bullpens today. The plan is to get him in some running progressions next week, and is "heading in the right direction."

As we announced on the
#MNTwins
show today, I'm stepping into a new role covering the Twins for
@SKORNorth
this season.
You can expect EXTRA INNING content on the Twins Show feed from the ballpark and beyond. This is something I’ve been working on and cultivating for months.
Your friendly reminder Kirill Kaprizov didn't score a single goal for 8 games to start the season. Since then:
37 goals (29 even strength; 10 power play), 38 assists, 76 points, 206 shots on net in 56 games.

You know what else is hilarious? Dismissing a dude who was undrafted, played 106 games, started a Super Bowl, opened up his o-line training facility for the next generation, and loved MN so much he and his family here.

on the Vikings in 2023
A Draft Trade!!
The
#Vikings
and
#Texans
have agreed to terms on a major deal in advance of the draft, per me and
@TomPelissero
, landing Minnesota another 1.
— Minnesota gets No. 23 and No. 232.
— Houston gets No. 42, 188 and a 2025 2nd rounder.
MIN moves up, HOU collects.
It’s only fitting that Tuch and Haula score for Vegas to put their team up 2-0 in its series. Meanwhile the Wild are in the complete opposite direction.
Friday news dump: Starting Monday I’ll be transitioning to full time
@SKORNorth
and will be producing our 11-2pm block (Vent Line, SKOR North Live and Twins Show) plus other duties. This has been a dream job of mine for as long as I can remember and I cant wait to get started.
Sure, you might find him up at three
But if he is it's just to pee
Sometimes he's awake till two
But that's just cause he's missing you
He's lying there and missing you
Happy birthday on what would’ve been this guy’s 71st birthday.
The
#Vikings
are 12-3 in large part to Kirk and KOC unlocking his QB. The Raiders just benched Carr and have a buffoon at the helm.
If your takeaway is to play "gotcha" on a take from 2021, your priorities are in a very weird place for one of most fun Vikings szns ever.
Royce believes there’s a 2023 Diamondbacks run in this
#MNTwins
team.
Last year on Sept. 9, Arizona was 75-68 and they actually lost 6 of their 9 games to end the regular season.
We’ll see where the chips fall and maybe Ace Hardware can provide some lumber for this team.
I grew up a Gopher hockey fan. My dad loved the Gophers. I love my Huskies but what just happen sucks. This state needed that win and that’s what upsets me the most.
Yep. Just don’t draft a quarterback. Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert, Trevor Lawrence, Lamar Jackson were all wasted picks for their respective franchises.
Love that Joe Ryan straight up said he was in the minors longer than I should’ve been and he let’s that frustration out in his first two starts. This team needs more of that confidence.
