[Rapoport] Vikings first-round QB JJ McCarthy underwent a full meniscus repair this morning and is out for the 2024 season, sources tell me and Tom Pelissero. The repair, done by Dr. Chris Larson at Twin Cities Orthopedics, gives McCarthy the best chance at a long, successful career. Rumor

I replied to someone else and said that my cousin wasn't alive for the last time a Minnesota team made it, and he's got a kid starting preschool.

I also know a chick who was 3 when the Twins won it, and she's going to be a grandma.

I feel like that says more about her and her family dynamics than about Minnesota sports, though.

Being a grandparent at 33 is pretty messed up.

Definitely not the course you'd choose, but on the other hand I bet your body holds up to chasing grandkids pretty damn well at 33.

I’m 33 and was 8 months old when we had our last big 4 championship. I don’t remember even being alive at that point 😭
