Yesterday at #Vikings training camp: Byron Murphy Jr. said everyone was excited for Josh Metellus after he signed his contract extension. "We shook hands and did a dance throughout the whole building." 🕺🕺

Bloomington's Jake Irvin will pitch against the Twins on Sunday, and I'll be cheering for him. He's thanked the Twins for sparking his love of the game as a kid. When he toes the rubber at Target Field, he’ll have officially pitched in all 30 MLB ballparks.

Party at Target Field this weekend! Reds and Rangers also doing their due-diligence on the Nats and #MNTwins.

We had fun in River Falls this a.m. watching Washington Nationals OF Alex Call help run a free clinic for kids. Call, a 2013 River Falls HS graduate, is back in town to play the #MNTwins. Our @DWolfsonKSTP spoke w/ Call. Snippet + link to full chat below: tinyurl.com/38pp6bxa

Some of our shots from #Vikings Training Camp practice No. 2. @ChrisLongKSTP will have plenty on the Vikings at 9:50p on @kstc45 and 10:20p on @KSTP.

"That's what make me, me, and that's what makes me, you know, chase greatness." Justin Jefferson is entering season 6 in the NFL. He's motivated to top last season, which exceeded 100 receptions and 1,500yds with 10TDs. #Vikings

Was nice to see right guard Will Fries active during #Vikings practice today. He fractured his right tibia Week 5 last year. He's still a few days (or more) from taking part in 11-on-11 action. Caught up with him briefly after practice:

Day-1 of #Vikings Camp: WR Jordan Addison on pleading no contest to a reduced charge related to a '24 DUI. He's facing a possible suspension. "Everything, you know, is out of my control right now, so whatever the league got for me, I'll be prepared whatever decision they make."

Mike Conley at the @3MOpen today talking about two of the #Timberwolves offseason changes: 1. New ownership of Alex Rodriguez & Marc Lore 2. Nickeil Alexander-Walker's departure

Knicks have asked for and received permission to speak with MIN assistant coach Pablo Prigioni about positions on Mike Brown's staff, league sources tell SNY. Prigioni, a former Knick, is highly regarded in coaching circles.

We were with a solid group of #Vikings today in Woodbury. McCarthy, Brosmer, Cashman, Mason, Ham, Jefferson, Addison, and Hockenson are ready for training camp. Carolina #Panthers WR Adam Thielen was there too, as was #Gophers QB Drake Lindsey.

Hayden Vucinovich is expected to sign with the #Brewers. #Gophers

Hard to top a homecoming (#NBA, not where born and raised), but told that there was definite mutual interest between Dame and the Wolves. #WolvesBack #Twolves

I think I speak for most #Vikings fans, wishing they could see J.J. McCarthy throw passes to Adam Thielen on Sundays this fall. I got to watch McCarthy throw to Thielen today, Thielen says McCarthy's "got it." @KSTPSports

Fired up about #MNTwins 2nd round pick high school infielder Quentin Young after listening to Twins VP of amateur scouting/ass't GM Sean Johnson. Snippet of my conversation with Sean today below, plus link to all 30 minutes. Lots of fun draft talk. tinyurl.com/3auzfc7s

Koi Perich says he dreamed of playing for the #Vikings growing up. But, college wasn't part of the plan. "I would skip through college if I could... and gone straight to Vikings."

Ran into former @DeLaSalleMBB, #Gophers and #Cyclones guard Gabe Kalscheur this week at @GameFaceTr. He recently agreed to a deal with Ourense Baloncesto, a team in Spain. Below is a snippet of our conversation, + link to all of it. tinyurl.com/2xn5tamp

Enjoyed picking the brain of Wake Forest head baseball coach Tom Walter. Top #MNTwins draft pick SS Marek Houston played for Walter the last three seasons. Walter loves the fit here for Houston. Below is a snippet of our chat, plus a link to all 10 min. tinyurl.com/yp9zcusr
