Twins almost coming back down 13-5 vs. Astros is the type of stuff that will pay off later
Morale victories are super lame, but what the Minnesota Twins did on Friday night against the Astros feels much different from that. To be clear, the Twins did not win, as Houston crushed Pablo Lopez before tossing Josh Winder and Kody Funderburk into an active volcano. It was a tough game for Minnesota pitching but the offense came to life in such a way that it almost made up for every mistake made on the mound.
Mike Zimmer embraced by Cowboys for trait that led to Vikings firing
Mike Zimmer's time with the Minnesota Vikings was a bit of a roller coaster. The team's former head coach was a noted hard-nosed defensive guru but struggled to execute a complete game plan on a weekly basis. As the head coach of the Vikings, Zimmer led the team to a...

The Vikings’ Offense Has Room for Four New Starters
The quarterback spot, of course, stands out above all others, but the Vikings’ offense is offering opportunity elsewhere. Earlier in the week, there was a consideration of the defense and the (potentially) five new starters. Plus, there was the original inspiration: Dustin Baker’s consideration of new starters over on Vikings Territory. In Week 1, T.J. Hockenson is likely on the sideline, but the tight end is being excluded since he’ll be resuming his TE1 status once healthy. The names below are for players who are sliding into season-long openings.
Former Vikings GM addresses development of J.J. McCarthy
Former Minnesota Vikings general manager Jeff Diamond still has connections to that organization and recently discussed the offseason development of rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy."I think he’s had a really good spring, and hearing Kevin O’Connell, the Vikings coach, talking about it and, as you know, I do a lot of media work surrounding the Vikings, and I certainly have gotten good feedback on J.J.’s progress to this point," Diamond explained on an edition of the "Valentine’s Views" podcast, as shared by Ed Valentine of Big Blue View. "But he’s still entering training camp behind Sam Darnold."Long before the Vikings moved up a...

Early Reports Suggest One Vikings Rookie Is the Real Deal
Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s first two rookie classes have been evaluated from every possible angle, as folks were underwhelmed by the early results of his first group – for a good reason. Lewis Cine and Andrew Booth have been borderline disasters and besides Ed Ingram and, to some extent, Ty Chandler, the 2022 rookies aren’t looking very bright.
Willi Castro is making MLB history this season with the Twins
Imagine, as a Manager, your star player goes down injured, and you aren’t sure when they will return. This can be an unnerving thought as you try to keep the team competitive during a long season. This can even be made worse when you’re the manager of the Minnesota...
Mpls health commissioner focuses on substance abuse, racial equity, climate
His own experience with deep poverty informs his work. A career in professional football is what Damōn Chaplin had in mind when he matriculated to Norwich University, a private senior military college located in Northfield, Vermont. An injury ended those dreams, but the Boston native wasn’t deterred. When he transferred to Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio, to study biology, it was “all about academics.”
The Biochar King of Minneapolis
Minneapolis may be the only city in the country with a carbon sequestration program manager on staff. Now, Jim Doten — who holds that title — is about to realize his dream of starting up one of the first municipally owned and operated carbon removal projects. The Minnesota metropolis has just purchased its very own biomass pyrolyzer, a machine that heats up tree clippings in a low-oxygen environment and turns them into a form of charcoal called biochar. As the wood grew, it sucked carbon out of the air during photosynthesis; as biochar, that carbon becomes stable for hundreds of...
