Rocco Baldelli hints at potential IL stint for Byron Buxton after hip injury

J.J. McCarthy’s season-ending knee injury led to the Vikings making uniquely miserable NFL history
Whatever the Minnesota Vikings are doing right now, they need to stop and put themselves in a big old bag of brown rice. It’s probably their only path to try and salvage whatever is left of their 2024 season because I don’t think there’s an NFL Genius Bar that will fix what ails them. There’s no other reasonable conclusion after watching rookie first-round quarterback J.J. McCarthy go down with what turned out to be a season-ending knee injury. ESPN Sources: surgery on J.J. McCarthy’s torn meniscus revealed that a repair was necessary and the Vikings rookie quarterback now will miss the 2024...

Door just opened for Patriots to trade Bailey Zappe to QB needy team
The Patriots head into their second preseason game of the year on Thursday with four quarterbacks on the roster, with at least one who will be cut by the end of the month. The assumption this offseason has been that Bailey Zappe will be the odd man out, as Jacoby Brissett is the expected starter with rookies Drake Maye and Joe Milton III following him on the depth chart.
Vikings cut former first-round pick in latest 53-man roster prediction for 2024
Following the team's first preseason win since 2019, the Minnesota Vikings 53-man roster is getting closer and closer to becoming finalized for the 2024 regular season. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like J.J. McCarthy is going to be among the 53 players selected by the Vikings to be on the team's final 2024 roster, as a recently torn meniscus will probably result in the rookie quarterback either beginning the regular season on the physically unable to perform list or missing the entire 2024 campaign altogether.

Big Lots Closing Stores Nationwide, Including Minnesota And Wisconsin Locations

August primaries set the stage for November elections in Minnesota, Wisconsin
MINNEAPOLIS — The August primaries are in the books in both Minnesota and Wisconsin, setting the table for the main November elections in both states. A jubilant Rep. Ilhan Omar celebrated her win over Don Samuels. In 2022, Omar defeated him by roughly 2,500 votes that primary. This time, she won by a little more than 16,000 votes. She had admitted her near loss was her own fault, that she had taken the race for granted, but this time she put out a massive get-out-the-vote effort. "It's clear she did not do that this time. She spent millions of...
