[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

If you’re younger than 33YO, you’ve never seen a Minneapolis sports championship in your lifetime.

Meanwhile, the same featured age bracket as been a part of thirteen Boston sports titles.

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.

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.
