Giving Treadwell a 15-yard cushion on 3rd and 12 should get a CB benched. #vikings

The Vikings might win this game, but this is a team with zero offensive identity, and a ton of questions to answer. Just ugly today.

Does anyone else find it rather sad that the twins TV broadcast team keeps reciting what other teams in the wildcard chase are doing right now? As if it really still matters? Twins are done. 20 MLB teams are better.

After some initial buzz, Walker Jenkins is looking rather overmatched at the plate.

Is Byron Buxton going to have the worst 40 home run season in MLB history? 19 HR so far, but only 29 RBI. Batting .125 with RISP, and 0-for-22 with two outs and RISP. #Twins

If Wolves lose with Wemby out, their “championship window” slams shut. Probably is already shut anyway. Wasting Ant.

KOC is saying what he has to say about finding solutions and loving his roster, but if Lions crush Vikings, it’s tear-down time. Trade who you can and look to next year.

If this game ends this way, I think it’s a safe bet that no team will be interested in a two week stay in Europe ever again.

The annual reality check for Gophers football. The goal remains the same: beat Wisconsin, beat Iowa, get to nine wins and play in a middle tier bowl. Can’t expect more.

Um, did one of the hosts of ESPN’s “Get up” just say what I think he said about Sam Darnold? Judging from the looks on the other three guys’ faces, I think he did. Yikes.

Lynx decided to play with their food tonite, and it got away. Terrible discipline, bad coaching in this one. So sloppy.

This loss is on the Vikings coaching staff. We never rolled JJ out. No screen passes. No quick slant. Nothing to protect the quarterback.

I know I’m one of about 6 people watching the Twins, but why us Mickey Gasper on this team? He is 29, has 63 career ABs and is batting .111. His ceiling is about as low as it can be.

Twins lineup today features zero Latin players. I’m not sure what that says about this team, but I’m guessing it’s not good.

Twins post game kept promising comments from Rocco. Not a word from the manager. Perhaps he’s finally embarrassed by the product he has been running onto the field.

Listening to Plouffe try to justify losing to the Rockies is great TV. He is trying soooo hard!!

I’m no math whiz, but I’ll go out on a limb and say that 36 points won’t win this one for the Wolves…

Whether you are superstitious or not, there’s no denying that since early last summer, when Royce Lewis declared that he doesn’t do slumps, he has been one of the worst hitters in the game. And he looks thin, too.

At what point do the Twins have to send Royce Lewis down? When Wallner and Buxton come back? Lewis looks broken.

Love the Wild’s effort, but the better team won. We still don’t have enough finishers, and the PK is awful.
