Hope Is Wearing Thin For The Vikings
Seemingly ages ago, the Minnesota Vikings were 5-0, sported the best defense in the league, and got a shocking amount of production from an offense led by the surprisingly competent Sam Bradford. Now the team’s 6-6 and losing ground in the playoff hunt, and Thursday night’s loss to the Cowboys offer...
Officials Missed A Huge Blow To Sam Bradford's Head On Game-Deciding Play
The Minnesota Vikings held Dak Prescott to his fewest yards passing in an NFL game and staged a late comeback against the Dallas Cowboys tonight, but they came up short on a late two-point conversion and lost, 17-15.

Karl-Anthony Towns Wrecked The Knicks, But It Wasn't Enough
The Minnesota Timberwolves are not a good basketball team. They are exciting, and all of their best players are liable to dunk on your head at any time, but they still look and feel more like a middling squad than a team sporting some of the best young talent the NBA has seen in a while. Karl-Anthon...
Hot Fucking Stove: Don't Touch The Stove It's Extremely Hot

Government Officials Are Living It Up For Free At Publicly Funded Vikings Stadium
The five-person Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority was created to control and operate the Vikings’ new stadium on behalf of taxpayers, who coughed up half a billion dollars to build it.

The Minnesota Timberwolves Are In A Weird Place Right Now
As an increasingly hopeless Wizards fan, I feel qualified to say this to everyone who’d hoped the early season would look more promising for the young Minnesota Timberwolves: this is just sorta what happens when a team is rich in talent but poor in, you know, really knowing how to play good NBA bask...

Report: Adrian Peterson Could Be Back In A Month
Adrian Peterson’s career with the Vikings looked like it might have ended when he tore his meniscus in the second game of the season against the Packers. He had surgery two months ago, right after the injury, but even then, the prospects of return in 2016 looked bleak. Minimum recovery time from a “...

Cordarrelle Patterson Wears Socks Of Himself Before Game, Returns Kickoff 104 Yards For TD
Before today’s game, Minnesota Vikings receiver/kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson wore socks with his image on the ankles. In the third quarter, he took a kickoff 104 yards for a touchdown. Are these two events related? You be the judge....
Tom Thibodeau Hasn't Changed
If you’re a Timberwolves fan, you no doubt enjoyed watching your team flex on the hapless Sixers on national TV last night. Karl-Anthony Towns undressed Joel Embiid multiple times, Andrew Wiggins hit shots from all over the floor, and the future once again looked bright. But if you watched the blowo...
Good Luck Trying To Keep Karl-Anthony Towns From Embarrassing You
Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot was projected to be an intriguing small forward in the NBA thanks to his smooth athleticism and impressive physical profile.

Zach LaVine Pulled Off The Rare Free-Throw Putback Dunk
Zach LaVine has always been an athletic freak capable of jamming it on people and pulling off a wide variety of spectacular dunks. This year, he’s improved his shooting and ballhandling and turned into a very good all-around player for the young Timberwolves. However, he’s also still liable to go of...
Ricky Rubio Is Done Waiting For The Timberwolves To Get Good
It’s still way too early to be disappointed in the Minnesota Timberwolves, who fell to 3-7 after losing to the Charlotte Hornets last night. Still, this is a team that came into the season riding a massive wave of hype—KAT and Wiggins are stars! Thibodeau is there to whip them into shape! Kris Dunn—...
Karl-Anthony Towns's Three-Point Stroke Is Dumb Fun
Karl-Anthony Towns, who turned 21 yesterday, has already established himself as one of the best players in the NBA. So it’s a little scary to consider that his game is still developing and finding new ways to hurt opponents. One recent development has been the emergence of a three-point shot. Yes, L...
