We have a long time to not thing about the Vikings QB situation as the team scatters until training camp. Here are my takes on where we stand now: startribune.com/minnesota-vi…

RandBall: Don’t assume Kyler Murray is QB1. The Vikings have more invested in J.J. McCarthy.

I’ve come around to the idea that the Vikings at least have a quarterback competition.

Raise your hand if you had this poster. And now ask yourself: Are the 2026 Vikings set to have their best WR trio since Moss, Carter and Reed? startribune.com/minnesota-vi…

Lots of stuff today! Wrote about how I reluctantly must endorse the MLB owners' labor proposal. Cap or bust! startribune.com/mlb-labor-ne… Also talked about that on Daily Delivery. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… And talked to @cassidyhett about the Lynx youtube.com/watch?v=yzM4kblF…

Today’s @RandBall Daily Delivery leads off with last night’s Lynx win for @StribSports startribune.com/minnesota-ly…

RandBall: The Lynx got what they needed in their win over Toronto

The Minnesota Lynx blew out the Toronto Tempo at Target Center on Thursday, which should give coach Cheryl Reeve more confidence in her bench.

RandBall: Change is coming for the Wolves. Tim Connelly told us as much.

The president of basketball operations said a lot on Tuesday, and most of it pointed to an offseason of transition.
