🚨 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..."

Here's the moment Brock Faber was injured on Friday in the Wild's preseason finale against the Stars. As noted by Michael Russo, it was Heiskanen who fired the point shot that hit Faber (in the earhole?), not Sam Steel, like the game sheet indicates. 📽️: TNT Sports U.S.

PJ Fleck was asked after the game how he's able shut out the haters and continue being himself despite the heat he takes publicly. His message, per usual, is worth a listen no matter what you think of the Minnesota Gophers' head coach. "We will never ever, ever, ever take winning for granted... I don't think there's any reason for anybody in this world, no matter who you are, to apologize for who you are. As long as you are being the best, most authentic, most real version of yourself every day, and you're changing your best, and you're doing good in the world. You do that, don't you ever change... Be yourself."

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."

Here's the Gophers' fumbled snap in victory formation vs Michigan from Saturday. This is why I wanted TJ Hockenson to take the TD yesterday. Unfortunately, this will live in my head for far too long.

According to Michael Russo, Detroit Captain Dylan Larkin is NOT attending Red Wings Captain's practice this week and still wants to be traded (to MN). 👀 "[Larkin is] the one calling the shots. He wants to be here (MN). That, to me, is what it comes down to... And it's going to be really fascinating because he's the captain of the team and not taking part in captain's practice right now." -- KFAN1003

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."

Bill Guerin sent a stark reminder to players at every level of the MN Wild organization yesterday -- closing his final presser before the offseason by announcing to the entire NHL world that NOBODY on his roster is untouchable. "Nobody in this game is untouchable. Wayne Gretzky got traded. Anybody can get traded." Billy G is entering the summer with dangerous levels of aura...

Both of these fouls happened in the NBA last night. If Mitchell gets called for a flagrant on Kuminga (clip 2), the Timberwolves are 4-0. Gafford DID get called for a Flagrant 1 on Giannis (clip 1). Can you guys tell me how this works while I go get my tinfoil hat on?

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

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

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."

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."

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

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 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."

"[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)
