A few weeks ago I wrote that the Vikings would fire him, but I'm not sure about that anymore. They might just fire Grigson, plus a few guys on the coaching staff, and then call it a day.
(I'd be fine with that)

Hi friends. I’m taking some time off for chemo. Not the way I wanted to start 2026, but it’s a necessary step. I’ll be trying to stay disconnected. I hope you can keep me in your prayers as I continue treatment.
A year ago, doctors told me I had neuroendocrine cancer of the pancreas. I’d probably been living with it for a decade. I will likely never be cured. But after a year of surgeries, radiation and monthly shots with a giant needle, I’m not going anywhere anytime soon. defector.com/my-life-with...

A Calif. teen trusted ChatGPT for drug advice. He died from an overdose.

Firing Keven Stefanski but keeping Andrew Berry infers the Browns have been bad because the players have been there but the coaching has been bad and whew,it's hard to come to that conclusion watching the Browns ever.

If he’s as good as Tom Brady has been in Vegas I see bright things ahead
Matt Ryan will move into the key decision-making position, most likely — or at least lead the searches. That’s what’s been communicated to candidates. Do with that information what you will
