🚨 CONFIRMED: GIANNIS WANTS TO LAND IN MINNESOTA 🚨 And I don't want to put words in Brian Windhorst's mouth... but it sure sounds like the Wolves are No. 1 on his list of preferred destinations. "Shams mentioned the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is not mentioning that for no reason. This is something, from what I understand, that **raises voice** GIANNIS HAS INTEREST IN..."

The end of Anthony Edwards' postgame press conference last night will live rent free in my head all offseason... Reporter: "[what's] the biggest thing that's maybe causing you guys to come up short in these series? Like the one thing you are seeing again and again that's making it tough?" Edwards: "Uuhhmmm -- good question -- uuuhhh -- no comment. [chuckles]"

Ant: "I mean yeah, he brought some juice. I don't know what you talking about, but he brought the juice." Pressley: "Are you guys stronger as a team or no?" Ant: "Yeah, we stronger. A-Rod makes us stronger. We good." Pressley: "Steroids." Ant: "Oh my god..."

The NFL forced Al Michaels to 'correct the record' on-air... WOW. Apparently, the league's official status on the controversial missed FG is that it DID NOT hit the wire. "The league wants to take my lunch away because I said before that Reichard's only miss came when he hit a wire in London. The league says, 'no, no it was an optical illusion.' [That's] not what Reichard thinks."

There it is. Kevin O'Connell told Tracy Wolfson before the game today that, while JJ McCarthy is going to Europe, he will NOT return to the field until week 7, after the Vikings' bye. "The plan for JJ McCarthy is to make the trip to Europe and continue to rehab there, and then they have the bye and he will hopefully play week 7."

This morning, the Hughes brothers told the TODAY that when Jack got his teeth knocked out vs Canada, Quinn lied to him over its severity in the moment -- "It's all good man, it's only chipped. You're gonna be ok..." Jack: "The first guy closest to me when I'm laying on the ice is obviously my older brother and he has the puck and you can see he's looking at me to see what's going on with my teeth and I remember him coming up to me and going, 'It's all good man, it's only chipped. You're gonna be ok...'" Quinn: "I could see him right there and I saw his smile and I thought 'uh-oh, that doesn't look good...'"

This morning, Stephen A Smith undressed the Vikings and put KOC on the hot seat for choosing McCarthy over Darnold last offseason, accusing MN of throwing away their 2025 season and "jeopardizing the career of Justin Jefferson" in the process... 👀 "Two bad games... and you threw [Sam Darnold] to the wolves... That's why their GM is gone, that's why Kevin O'Connell no longer should be called the QB whisperer, that's why he's lucky to have his job... Bottom line is, the Vikings threw away a football season and jeopardized the career of Justin Jefferson by [choosing McCarthy over Darnold]." PRESSURE MOUNTING IN EAGAN... | 🎥: First Take

The Vikings are doing everything in their power to keep the integrity of their starting QB competition alive. Here is Jeremy Fowler on SportsCenter yesterday reporting that KOC is in no apparent hurry to crown a QB1, despite their being questions around the league over the legitimacy their "battle" between Kyler Murray vs JJ McCarthy. "So I'm told, between Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy, the Vikings are comfortable letting this play out a little bit longer. They're not pressed to name somebody the first team guy or give a guy first team reps. They are splitting it evenly still."

Anthony Edwards is watching Tim Connelly's next move VERY closely, after the Timberwolves sold off Mike Conley's contract today, per Brian Windhorst: "[The Wolves] could have gotten Coby White in this trade, and they need help with the guard position. So I want to watch what Minnesota does between now and Thursday, and I'm sure Ant Edwards does too... ...I don't wanna overreact on Tuesday when the deadline is Thursday, but if you come out of this week and Minnesota's only move is just to save money, they're gonna have to answer to Ant on that." -- NBA on ESPN

Wow, on his latest episode of Purple Insider (last night), Matthew Coller called 2026 Vikings training camp the worst of JJ McCarthy's career and that after "asking around" pretty much everyone agreed with that sentiment... 👀 "You know, just asking around, are other people seeing what I'm seeing? Do we think that this has looked worse for JJ McCarthy than either of his last two camps? And the answer I've gotten from everybody is pretty much yes." - Purple Insider Podcast

Mike Florio reported on a recent episode of ProFootballTalk Live that KOC was "overruled" during the Vikings' 2025 offseason QB search -- that he wanted Darnold, Jones and Rodgers but didn't have a choice but to role with JJ McCarthy and Sam Howell. "As I understand it, O'Connell got overruled. He wanted to have Darnold or Jones or Aaron Rodgers, and he got overruled. They said no to Rodgers. Rodgers wanted to play for them last year, and they said no. They're sticking with JJ McCarthy."

So... Target Field concession workers plan to go on strike next weekend (June 22), when the Los Angeles Dodgers come to town. Their workers union is accusing MN Twins contracted concessions vendor 'Delaware North Co." of refusing to negotiate in good faith over possible healthcare coverage and pay raises for their mostly minimum wage workforce. Delaware North told FOX 9 via statement that fans should expect little to no changes in game day operations next weekend. The Twins have relayed to union reps that this is an issue between Delaware North and their employees, which the union vehemently disagrees with. Video Credit: FOX 9

Here's Michael Russo on how, ironically, Kaprizov's historic payday last offseason likely means the MN Wild can't afford Zuccarello this offseason. "[Kaprizov] has made his bed, the Wild have made his bed, and he wasn't willing to compromise. Now, it's probably going to cost him Zuccarello. I mean, which is the irony here." -- Worst Seats in the House Podcast (Talk North)

Here's the video of Tom Pelissero this morning on KFAN, with steam that the Vikings' QB competition is already nearing its end (plus some JJ trade speculation)... 👀👀👀 "I would anticipate, you know, as soon as this week... you may see the reps, it maybe evolve a little bit... I don't believe that Kevin needs to take this all the way through the third preseason game to determine his starting quarterback. You're going to probably have a pretty good idea by the end of spring what direction this is going to go."

Everything changed last night in the MN Vikings locker room. The players felt it, KOC felt it... and so did the Get Up crew. "You walk in that locker room coming off that victory and you say to each other, 'hey we got a dude.'...I think they found out something about their quarterback, that he has the moxy to get us where we need to go." -- Jason McCourty

If/when JJ McCarthy demands a trade, Mike Florio says the Vikings should trade him to the Chargers so he can regroup under Jim Harbaugh. Florio also questions JJ's ability to accept a backup role, rewinding the clock to March 2025, when "reliable sources" didn't know who was calling the shots in MN, also noting that "if [the Vikings] brought back Sam Darnold or Daniel Jones last year, they were going to have a major problem with JJ McCarthy..." -- PFT Live

Well well well this sure is interesting... Per Darren Wolfson, Kevin Durant vetoed a trade to the Timberwolves last year because he didn't want to play for Chris Finch... 👀 "A lot of superstars want to play with Ant. KD was the exception, and that had nothing to do with Ant... I don't have all the inner-workings of this, but my understanding is KD had trepidation playing for Chris Finch... Superstars want to play with Anthony Edwards." 📽️: SKOR North - Minnesota Sports (Flagrant Howls)
