My dad once wrote a note to us and put it in a drawer. The note said "if you're scared to tell me something, just bring me this note as a reminder that I'm here to support you. I won't get mad; I will work with you on a solution." Best way to keep your kids talking to you.
Wanna know my secret to keeping my kids talking? I pretend to know nothing! (It’s surprisingly easy! Especially about football!) https://t.co/29FCHXo51f
“The emotions of the past weeks, anger, sadness, fear, and frustration, have been felt deeply across our community. We have always emphasized here that we are ‘Stronger Together’ and now more than ever we must live by that principle.” - GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah on recent events that have impacted the Twin Cities
Making the game accessible for all.
Earlier in the 2025 season, the #Vikings participated in the @NFL’s OneCourt pilot, powered by @Ticketmaster, to provide a reliable real-time experience, allowing visually impaired fans to follow along with the action as it unfolded.
Napheesa Collier is the type of leader EVERYONE wants to follow.
She's fearless, principled, incredibly smart, a tireless worker, empathetic, calculated, magnetic, personable; also importantly, Collier has fought to become the best in the world at what she does, and used that to platform and amplify her voice for revolutionary change.
Phee is going to rewrite history because she possesses a rare, jackpot combination of leadership traits, which makes her one of the most respected superstars in sports by her peers.
The world needs more people like Napheesa Collier.
I sincerely hope that parents, coaches, and those in role model positions empower inspired young girls and boys to follow in her footsteps as leaders who takes principled stands for what is right, regardless of what the consequences may be, because they believe in something that is so much greater than oneself.
Today is a historic day not just for the WNBA, but for labor in the greater sports ecosystem.
It's on everyone to ensure history remembers Napheesa Collier for not only being one of the greatest women's hoopers we've ever seen, but more importantly as a courageous catalyst for seismic change that uplifts a historically marginalized workforce.
Because it's the one painkiller women can safely take while pregnant and there's a deeply held cultural belief that suffering mothers produce happier kids.
The characterization of DEI here and most places today makes me sad.
Here's an example of DEI: The summer before my senior yr of HS, I participated in a minority journalism workshop at the Univ of Miami. It gave a kid who had no idea about that world important exposure (more)

New on @AthlonSports: Kirk Herbstreit's public insinuation that Caleb Williams isn't preparing at an optimal level is a problem. Because it's the same garbage Black quarterbacks have had to deal with since there have been Black quarterbacks. https://t.co/9SxedwVA25
Don't expect NFL to ditch DEI efforts because of societal trends or political pressure.
"We didn’t get into this because it’s a trend and we’re not getting out of it because it’s a trend," Roger Goodell said. "We’re in it because it makes the NFL better."
#Vikings CB Cam Bynum gave us a peek behind the scenes at the TCO Center as local restaurant Kusina helped him bring a taste of his Filipino heritage to his teammates during the Thanksgiving weekend.

A new era: revenue sharing comes to college athletics. The developments, and strategies ADs employ to best leverage rev share, will be fascinating to follow.

If the players had all the control, they'd be paid. The reason why college sports is so chaotic is because amateurism is no longer a viable legal defense, yet colleges don't want athlete unions that bargain rules that, ironically, would give schools control and prevent lawsuits.
