Latest blog entries from Minnesota teams across every league
The Minnesota Vikings next GM might be currently working for the Buffalo Bills. Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday morning that Minnesota has requested a GM interview with Gray, who’s been the Bills assistant GM since May 2025 after spending three years as Buffalo’s director of player personnel. For Gray, there’s a clear Vikings connection. He spent […]
The Minnesota Vikings have started the search for their new General Manager, and while the team may not be formally releasing the names of the candidates they’re interviewing for the position, that isn’t stopping other sources from reporting them once they get a hold of them. The first such name has emerged on this Wednesday […]
Minnesota Timberwolves at San Antonio SpursDate: May 6th, 2026Time: 8:30 PM CDTLocation: Frost Bank CenterTelevision Coverage: ESPN Game 1 was not pretty. It was not elegant. It was not the kind of series opener that ends with everyone breathlessly talking about offensive genius or some masterclass in modern basketball. No, this was a rock fight. […]
The Minnesota Wild's penalty kill was their greatest weakness in the 2024-25 season. In the regular season, they successfully defended on only 72.4% of their shorthanded chances, then allowed the Vegas Golden Knights to go 5-for-19 on the power play during the playoffs. The year before that, Minneso...
While it is not great that the Minnesota Wild are down 2-0 in the second round to the Colorado Avalanche and find themselves at the bottom of a big mountain to climb against one of the best teams in the league, we do at least get to share some good news. In multiple places over the last week, i...
Even with Anthony Edwards on a minutes restriction, the Minnesota Timberwolves were able to come into the Frost Bank Center and steal both Game 1 and home court advantage from the Spurs. The style of play on display in that game was what was expected of the series from the outset: hard-fought, physical games that […]
Ball Arena welcomed Avalanche fans (and some Wild fans) for game two of the second round series between the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild, and those supporting the home club would head to the lot happy once again. The Avalanche scored first and last tonight, and despite Matt Boldy, Quinn Hughes, and Marcus Johansson’s best […]
A nasty injury for Jarred Vanderbilt may have not just ruled him out for the game, but for an extended time. In the second quarter of Tuesday’s Game 1, Vando tried to block a fastbreak dunk attempt by Chet Holmgren and, in the process, smacked the backboard with his hand. He immediately doubled over in […]
The Nationals got on the board first in this game. After a walk to Daylen Lile, Curtis Mead doubled to make it 2nd and 3rd with just one out. CJ Abrams hit a grounder to Luke Keaschall who tried to get Lile out at the plate, but Lile was too quick, putting them up 1-0. […]
Sure, it’s way too early for 2027 mock drafts. I think we can all agree on that. But what about power rankings for the upcoming NFL season that’s still. . .checks calendar. . .about four months from officially getting underway? Yeah, it’s probably too early for those, too. But you know what? We’re gonna look […]
The Nats have a bad home record at 4-12. However, part of that is due to the teams they have played. They have already faced the Dodgers, Braves and Brewers at Nats Park. Now, they will get a lighter touch against the Twins. They need to take advantage of this and boost their home record. […]

John Spytek talked about the UFL when asked before the draft, and the Las Vegas Raiders haven’t signed a UFL player in nearly 2-3 seasons. UFL players have shown an ability to bounce back to the NFL level, especially on special teams with Jake Bates, Brandon Aubrey, and Kevontae Turpin. Other including Vikings DT Jalen […]
The Nats are coming off a quiet offensive series against the Milwaukee Brewers, scoring just 4 runs in 3 games. After 2 straight losses, a strong pitching performance from Zack Littell held down the fort for a gritty 3-2 victory in the finale. Washington has kept themself in striking range of .500, and has another […]
After a (excuse the pun) wild game one, resulting in a 9-6 Colorado win, the Avalanche take on the Minnesota Wild for the rematch in game two tonight in what hopes to become a commanding lead in this pivotal central division series. Colorado Avalanche In game one, we were able to see exactly what Colorado […]
Cale Makar was a surprise press conference selection following game two as he joined Devon Toews on the podium following Colorado’s game-one victory over the Minnesota Wild. Still, he was visibly fatigued, albeit engaged during the presser. Cale typically has a bright presence, even after a grueling playoff game. Still, his appearance struck me, considering […]
Not much going on besides the free agency watch and the rookie minicamp. The draft picks and UDFAs will be there along with some tryout players of which I can find four … Zach Lewis, S (North Dakota); Anthony Chideme-Alfaro, CB (North Dakota State); Barika Kpeenu, RB (North Dakota State); Edward Vesterinen, DL (West Virginia). […]
Game One of the San Antonio Spurs second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves was a tough, physical contest. Both teams struggled to score for most of the games. The Wolves went on a 14-2 run to build a 9-point lead, the biggest of the game. San Antonio surged back late, but fell just short in […]
The Minnesota Vikings ownership sale rumor is debunked, third-round pick Domonique Orange gets a full scouting breakdown, and Tyler Forness identifies the defensive free agents the Vikings must sign now. On the latest episode of The Real Forno Show — a Vikings 1st & SKOL Production — host Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano deliver […]
Lower seed on the road shocks higher seed at home in Game 1. It’s a tale as old as time (e.g., The 2003 playoffs when the number 8 seeded Phoenix Suns stole Game 1 on the road against the number 1 seeded San Antonio Spurs). They say a playoff series truly doesn’t start until someone […]
Victor Wembanyama put his defensive stamp on Minnesota by accumulating three blocks in the opening moments of the game. He ended the night with twelve blocks, a career high for the newly crowned Defensive Player of the Year. Wemby also had thirteen defensive rebounds, making second chance points tough for the Timberwolves. Where the Spurs […]
The game never felt comfortable. Not for a second. Every possession was a fight. Every shot was earned. And by the time the final seconds ticked away Monday night, the difference between the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves came down to a single shot that wouldn’t fall. San Antonio opened its Western Conference semifinal series with a […]
The good thing about a defensive battle is that it provides some incredibly compelling basketball, where every shot must be earned, and every make has been fought for. The bad thing about a defensive battle is that sometimes no one makes a shot for five minutes at a time, and you can feel the life […]
After seven days off since beating the Trail Blazers in Game 5 of the first round, the San Antonio Spurs opened Round 2 against an injured but pesky Minnesota Timberwolves squad that gave them trouble in the regular season. It was an old school, defensive slug-fest most of the night, with neither team able to […]

Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The Spurs have advanced to the second round of the playoffs […]
