The Vikings sign Carson Wentz to be the backup QB,

With the regular season less than two weeks away, the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles have engaged in a late trade. The Vikings announced Sunday that they are sending quarterback Sam Howell to the Eagles in exchange for draft picks.

In return, Minnesota receives a fifth-rounder in 2026 and a seventh-rounder in 2027. Philadelphia also received a sixth-round pick in 2026 as part of the trade.

Twins lose 5 of 6

Tommy Fleetwood wins the FedEx Cup

It took 164 PGA Tour starts, 44 prior top 10 placements and six excruciating runner-up finishes, but Tommy Fleetwood on Sunday at the 2025 Tour Championship finally made his way into the winner's circle. The 34-year-old Englishman converted his third 54-hole lead of the season into his first career PGA Tour victory, claiming the season-long FedEx Cup crown and the massive $10 million payout that goes along with it.

Fleetwood finished his tremendous week-long effort Sunday with a 68 to post a winning score of 262 (-18); in doing so, he handled the Sunday nerves at East Lake Golf Club better than anyone else in the field. He took his name off the top of the "best player never to win" list and put himself on the short list of players to win the FedEx Cup after a tremendous 72-hole performance at the Tour Championship.

Luke Keaschall might be the next big thing for the Twins,

Twins rookie sensation Luke Keaschall added to his historic start with a walkoff homer on Sunday, and one national baseball insider appears completely bought in on the 22-year-old emerging star.

Speaking about Keaschall Monday morning on MLB Network, Jon Morosi excitedly declared that the young second baseman is "the future of the Twins." He didn't stop there, though. Morosi also compared Keaschall to one of baseball's top current stars.

3M Open recap, The Twins are about to start the fire sale, and a never before heard Richard Reusse story involving fire insurance!!

Kurt Kitayama finished a sizzling weekend with a final-round 65 to win the 3M Open on Sunday, beating Sam Stevens by one stroke for his second PGA TOUR victory.

Kitayama, who shot a career-best and tournament-record-tying 60 on Saturday to enter the final round within one of the leaders, birdied six of the first eight holes to build a cushion on a 91-degree afternoon at the TPC Twin Cities.

“Getting off to a start like that kind of helps settle you down,” Kitayama said. “Final round, second-to-last group, there��s definitely some nerves.”

Joe Ryan delivered his worst start in nearly two months during a 9-3 loss to the Washington Nationals and Byron Buxton exited Saturday night’s game because of left side soreness.

It was a tough day for the Twins’ two All-Star players, and an ugly performance for a struggling team attempting to stay afloat in the wild-card standings.

“We’ve been playing some pretty good fundamental baseball,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “Today was not that.”

Buxton didn’t return to the field after the sixth inning, but Baldelli said Buxton was “relatively upbeat” when they chatted during the game. Buxton, who made a leaping catch at the center field wall in the first inning, will undergo medical imaging Sunday morning.

Reusse Scoop: The MN Wild are going to trade Kaprizov for Connor McDavid!!!

In a fitting tribute, Dundas names baseball stadium for Bill Nelson, team’s biggest booster

On a lazy summer weekend when overcome with an urge to see a grassroots ballgame, the cure often has been to take a drive an hour south to Dundas. The Cannon Valley League offers some of the state’s top competition, and if it’s the Dukes vs. Miesville’s Mudhens, you have an unmatched rivalry.

I was there one Sunday when there was a playoff game, with both teams guaranteed to advance to the state tourney. Immediately after the game, the managers went into a small area to draft pitchers from other Cannon Valley teams.

Joe Driscoll had been drafted by Dundas the previous year. He walked around with a beer in hand, waited a couple of minutes and then found out he would be a Mudhen for this tournament.

Driscoll tipped the beer upward in a salute and said, “Well, every team needs a role model.”

Joe died three years ago, and the world has been a less enjoyable place since then.
