Wait, what?
Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is ruled out (sprained ankle) for Minnesota's game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Head coach Kevin O'Connell cited an ankle sprain.
Can we take this injury at face value or is it a "soft benching" as Minnesota picks up the pieces from a brutal loss to Atlanta and faces a Bengals squad without Joe Burrow, who was also hurt on Sunday and will miss at least three months with turf toe?
Happy Hour host John Gaskins leans on the football I.Q. of local analyst Kurtiss Riggs to speculate why McCarthy truly won't play, and how Minnesota will fare with Carson Wentz as the starter.
The Vikings start to the 2025 slate looks and feels a lot like both South Dakota State and South Dakota, particularly all three teams' home games over the weekend, even though the Jackrabbits and Coyotes were victorious and the Vikings were flattened by the Falcons.
But what do the Jacks and Vikings have in their favor to keep fans optimistic that the Yotes don't have?
Meanwhile, the Sioux Falls Canaries are three wins from their first league championship in 17 years and are in a league finals for the first time since 2010. Why? Because the legend of Jabari Henry somehow continues to grow. Did you see what he did in yet another winner-take-all playoff game on Saturday night, for the second Saturday night in a row?
