I saw somewhere on the inter webs that Murray or his agent has already contacted multiple teams about the '27 season. Who knows if it's true. Agree that Murray should be hyper motivated. That doesn't mean he has the emotional stamina to stay hyper motivated. When he inevitably has a rough...

He's going to get hurt. 5'10" QB's don't play 17 games. For better or worse, JJ might play more games than he did last year.

I have no idea how this is going to play out in term of wins and losses. Anybody who says that they do is a little goofy in the head. What I can say with confidence is that the Vikings historical ability to keep things interesting exceeds their ability to win football games, especially when...

It's not as if the Vikings have a lot of options. Cousins is 38. JJ hasn't inspired confidence internally or externally. A trade for Burrows wasn't happening. There isn't a great fit and Murray has talent. For a million or so bucks, it is definitely worth a shot. I can't remember what...

Let's hope not. When I was watching the game I think I figured out Finch's secret sauce. He's fine with them playing a very loose style of basketball offensively--it's almost playground. Lot's of underhand and sidearm passes, very deep threes early in the clock. I don't watch other teams...

Let's hope not.

It's a players' league. Heat of the moment in a tight game. Ant creates the value and he knows it. What's more interesting to me is Ant always credits others in his post game interviews. It has been a long time since I've seen him toss a bouquet Randle's way. And Randle has always been a...

They seem to be coming up with just enough support for Ant to win these games against mediocre opponents, though it's rarely Randle anymore. Credit to the Clips for playing "playoff" defense. Credit to the wolves for grinding out another road win at the right time of the year. Ant's hero ball...

I don’t entirely agree. Portland has always been a tough road win. I’m happy to take the W and get out of there. This team is so damn confounding. They almost revel in FAFO losses against inferior or depleted teams at home and then grind out mentally tough wins on the road.

I’m getting really tired of seeing Randle not get back on defense.

Luka could always shoot and he always hustled. The reason he was (and is) borderline unplayable unless someone is hurt is that he is molasses. He gets killed on defense. In terms of Finch not developing young players, who has left during his tenure and made him look bad? (NAW doesn't count...

My bad for not recognizing your typo. That's why nobody should pay me to be anywhere near their lawn. :)

Yup. I don't trust those guys. You do. You think Finch is a lousy coach. I disagree. Neither one of us is going to change those situations. You didn't attach a timeline to the claim that there are no bankruptcies in prof sports. The three I cited were in the last 17 years. There's liquid...

I don't know the details of Trump and the Bills but what you are saying doesn't surprise me. I consulted GoogleAI and the recent sports bankruptcies include Tom Hicks (Texas Rangers), Frank McCourt (Dodgers) and the guy who owned the Phoenix Coyotes. Professional franchises are so expensive to...

My mistake on Johnny K. It was Jace Frederick of the Pioneer Press. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think these guys are going to pay Finch for about two and a third seasons not to coach. They laid off 10% of the employees on the business side last summer and they raised season ticket prices with...

It appears that Finch has lost the locker room. However, I don't think he's going to get fired at this point because I think he has a lot of term left on his extension and these new owners are very cost conscious. (Connelly had to do a lot of cap maneuvering to get the ok to bring in Ayo...

Yes, Jokic was a brilliant (damn lucky!) draft move. As a wolves draft magician, Connelly would get booed off the stage. None of his draftees have secured a steady spot in the rotation. Kwesi got fired for his drafts but he runs rings around Connelly. Our POBO has given away more draft picks...

The trade is a smart move. It shores up the team this year. It puts the wolves in a position to sign Ayo if they like him and it enables roster flexibility for bigger trades this summer.

In addition to the budgetary constraints, I think they thought they were going to get more out of Conley and I've read there was tension between NAW and DDV over playing time.
