Let's be clear about what happened. Carson Wentz sacrificed himself to protect 2 QBs the Vikings valued more in the long term. It went on for as long as Wentz could manage it. Now, it's time to find out if J.J. McCarthy -- or even Max Brosmer -- can play.

What Carson Wentz's injury means for Vikings, J.J. McCarthy
Wentz proved to be a warrior, playing through a serious injury, but now it's time to see what McCarthy can do.

Testing out a few pumpkin beers before bringing the kiddo trick or treating next week. So glad we have great local options in MN.

You cannot tell me that Max Brosmer could be worse than this.

Might go to Menards tonight instead of being annoyed with this Vikes performance.
More annoyed at the short hoses on my washer than this Vikings game. Is this what it means to be an adult?

The running part of this hit me hard today.
I've just written about my intense relationship with my father and how running helped me both connect with him and avoid becoming him. It's my first article ever for @theatlantic.com My dad wrote here in 1967, and it seems fitting to publish this 58 years later.

Why I Run
I took up the sport to be like my father. I kept going because he stopped.

I hate that the Pohlads don’t even care to get to the postseason. This is my favorite time of the year.

Save us Lynx, you’re our only hope.

We also are stressing the Lynx but trust queen Phee to right the ship!
Someone is begging for popcorn over watching the Loons game. Going to pace over the last 15 min.

This is beyond parody now. The front of BOTH of Stuver’s feet were OUTSIDE the penalty area when he picked the ball. It’s clearly handling, you don’t need to be in line with the 18 to call that. Complete 🤡 show at this point. #MNUFC

College football quad box and track and field on the computer make for a solid into to a late Loons Gophers games! Won’t make it up past their starts though!

Game 1. The kid QB will figure it out. Frustrating with such high hopes though

Also making some sourdough bread to be baked tomorrow morning! Time to bake.
I know it’s only pre season but couldn’t help starting a fire and having the vikes game on the radio. Bring on the false fall for a few days!

Gleeman nails it. Today sucked as a fan of this team. Won’t be going to Target Field for a long time.

Also bless anyone who has to sit through this game in the miserable heat today…..
Twins doing everything they can to convince the front office to sell. Fine with that. New owners will bring a lot of hope to this franchise.
