#Vikings first-round QB JJ McCarthy underwent a full meniscus repair this morning and is out for the 2024 season, sources tell me and @TomPelissero.
The repair, done by Dr. Chris Larson at Twin Cities Orthopedics, gives McCarthy the best chance at a long, successful career.
Matt Hasselbeck if he had gotten a few calls in SB 40. Jalen Hurts basically carried by the leading rusher and an elite defense. Just like Matt. Actually Hasselbeck's defense was way closer to middle of the pack than the 2024 Eagles

Rickey Henderson is at the plate . You have your choice of any pitcher, of any era. Who gets the call?
REPORT: "Some close to Jalen Hurts feel that the Eagles did not support him enough when some constructively insightful stories came out this postseason about some of his deficiencies on the field...No one spoke up publicly on Hurts’ behalf as they did [Carson] Wentz [back in 2019]."

Johnny Vander Meer back to back No hitters. Need 3 in a row to break it. Cy Young 511 wins. No one starting now will ever get half of that evrr again. No one will hit .400 ever again. Brett and Gwynn came close in the last 50 years. 200 hits never happening again.
Anyway notable now that Bieniemy is back who left after 2022. His one year in Washington Bieniemy oversaw Sam Howell throwing for 4000 yards and 21 TDs.
