Latest blog entries from Minnesota teams across every league
Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Houston Texans guard Ed Ingram, who washed out with the Minnesota Vikings, was traded in the offseason to a less stable offensive line, […]
The Chicago Bears are traveling up north searching for their first division win of the Ben Johnson era. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings are trying to get back on track in a season that seems to have them play up to their expectations, but also down to the competition. Winning records have been rare for Chicago […]
After a lackluster first half against the subpar Utah Jazz on Monday night, Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves came out firing in the third quarter. They built a lead that would get as high as 22 points during the frame thanks to an offensive flurry by Edwards, helping Wolves fans feel at ease that […]
It looks like the Minnesota Vikings could be getting another significant part of their offense back from the injured reserve list. On Wednesday, the Vikings opened the window for center Ryan Kelly. Kelly, who the Vikings signed to a two-year contract this offseason to replace the departed Garrett Bradbury, has been limited to just three […]
Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has completed his first four games in the NFL. That’s not a big sample size for any sort of definitive judgment about McCarthy- usually around game 25 is when you might begin to form some conclusions about the trajectory of a young quarterback, but even then it may be too […]
Ben Rortvedt is a former 2nd round draft pick out of Verona High School in Verona, Wisconsin. Back in 2016, the Minnesota Twins – franchise known for drafting ‘local’ players in much the same way as the Cincinnati Reds – plucked him, and he eventually made his big league debut with the Twins during the […]
Since before the summer, the NHL has been waiting for the next big name to shake loose. The Minnesota Wild are, finally, no exception. But just as they regained their flexibility to make moves, the trade market dried up. There were no Matthew Tkachuks or Mikko Rantanens ripe for the plucking. There...
Lamar Jackson was not the only Raven to pick up an injury in Baltimore’s Week 10 victory over the Vikings. Six other players – including wide receiver Rashod Bateman, tight end Isaiah Likely, and safety Malaki Starks – were added to the injury report this week. Bateman is expected to miss time with a high […]
A Ben Johnson quote from his Wednesday press conference put things into perspective as the Chicago Bears head coach set the table for this week’s upcoming game against the Minnesota. There has been much change when it comes to the vibe and energy around Chicago’s football team. And if you don’t see it, then it’s OK. Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson does: “Well, we found out a lot about ourserlves over the course of the season so far. We’re a different team than we were in Week 1, and s...
As the Chicago Bears prepare for their 10th game of the season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, we are starting to get the first official team injury reports for week 11. It’s another long list this week on Wednesday, with eight Bears being listed as DNP (did not practice). That includes: DB Kevin Byard […]
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury. Head coach John Harbaugh said that Jackson was dealing with “some soreness coming out of the game” in Minnesota on Sunday. It is unclear when Jackson suffered the injury. He was under pressure all game against a relentless Vikings defense that blitzed at […]
In the NFL, context matters. So many things happen over the course of the season, many of which we as fans, and even those in the national media, are not privy to. I don’t like to throw out overused internet fan tropes, but when the Minnesota Vikings aren’t doing well, the “armchair GM’s” get their […]
Not all of the wins for the San Jose Sharks this season are going to be pretty, and the 2-1 overtime win against the Minnesota Wild last night certainly counts as one of the ugly ones. The Wild absolutely dominated the Sharks for most of the game and it was only by sheer luck and strong goaltending by Yaroslav Askarov that the Sharks were capable of competing in the last 10 minutes of the third period. Looking at Natural Stat Trick’s game flow chart in all situations, you can see that the Wild...
That's Wild Macklin Celebrini and his band of San Jose Sharks came to town and just made the Minnesota Wild look a little silly. Despite outshooting them by a substantial margin and having chances that they never really connected on, the Sharks walked over the Wild to earn a 2-1 overtime win...
The 2025 Ravens rookie class has been one of the most utilized groups of rookies in recent years for Baltimore.

After a few days of rest, the San Jose Sharks are back in action and on the road, making the first stop on a three-game road trip. The Sharks pay a visit to the Minnesota Wild at the Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul. The Sharks are getting some much-needed reinforcements in the form of William Eklund. Eklund has not played since Nov. 1 because of a lower-body injury, but he’s healthy and ready to go. The forward will be back on the second line with Alex Wennberg and Philipp Kurashev. Forward Eth...

When Filip Gustavsson signed his five-year, $34 million extension before the season started, the Minnesota Wild's plans didn't actually change all that much. The Wild may have secured a starting-caliber goalie for the long term, but there was plenty of room for Goalie of the Future candidate Jesper...
Well, that games was depressing. Way too many mistakes but still had a chance to tie it up at the end. That is actually incredible. There is a lot of discussion about which players and coaches were most responsible. Obviously, the top two are KOC and JJ McCarthy because the QB controls the offense. The […]

Results When #34 went off in Game 6 of the 1991 World Series, I was on the brink of turning 6 years old. Did I understand the significance of the events transpiring? Certainly not. At that particular moment, my sports fandom was limited to kickball at recess and Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out on the NES. But […]
