Honestly this is a huge indictment on KOC. The kid won a national championship and, worthy or not, was a 1st round pick. Any notion that KOC is a "QB whisperer" should be preposterous.

Tankathon has 6 QB's going in the 1st round in next year's draft. Those of you who know college football, are any of these 6 intriguing to you? Arch Manning Darian Mensah Dante Moore Trinidad Chambliss CJ Carr Julian Sayin

Agreed. Develop him and see what happens. No reason to move on from him at this point, especially after seeing what we currently have in Murray and Wentz.

Holy Angels alum Emmett Johnson sure would have been nice. Chiefs scooped him up in the 5th round this year and he had 68 total yards on Monday night.

One foot injury can be overlooked I suppose, but this is pretty bad for a 320+ lb defensive lineman: He hurt his left foot in the spring of 2025 and re-injured it during a September game against LSU. He underwent surgery, returned for the team’s final two games and began his pre-draft training......Then, in February at the combine, Banks felt a pop in his foot while preparing for the 40-yard dash. He initially thought his cleats had malfunctioned and woke up the following day without pain. But during his testing, a flare-up forced him to shut it down. Another procedure to repair a bone in his left foot further affected his draft stock. But a recent CT scan clarified the situation, and a foot and ankle specialist at the Andrews Institute deemed him on pace to be fully cleared for football activities in early June.

I think they panicked after not being able to trade for Maye and it's possible that Penix might have been their backup plan. No one thought he would gone before #10 or #11.

He's backing up Drake Maye in New England. Surprised by the Wolford signing as well. Figured they'd resign Desmond Ridder, Either option is bleak really.

I would imagine that they resign Desmond Ridder to be the backup/3rd stringer,

Wentz is having surgery on his non-throwing shoulder and going on season-ending IR,

Just finished all 7 episodes of Task on HBO Max this weekend. It's really good!

"Major League Baseball must approve the transaction and the new partners, a process that is already in the works, said Pohlad, who replaced his uncle, Jim Pohlad, as Executive Chair of the team in November 2022. The family’s new partners will be revealed within a few weeks as that process goes on, he added."

Joe Pohlad interview: https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-twins-sale-pohlad-family/601454378 - "It’s my job and this new ownership group’s new job to do everything we can to set this organization up for success, hopefully in the short- and long-term both. - Pohlad declined to reveal the identity of his new partners — in both cases, they are groups of investors, not a single buyer — beyond saying that one is made up of Minnesotans, the other a family based on the East Coast. - The trades had little to do with saving money, he said, and were not ordered by ownership. “Those were truly primarily baseball decisions,” Pohlad said. “It certainly set us up for more [financial] flexibility, but they were primarily baseball decisions.”

Perhaps the influx of cash from the new investors will allow Carl's 3 sons, who for years have proven to have little to no interest in the team, to get out of the baseball business entirely. To his credit, at least it seems like Joe Pohlad has an interest in the team and in being involved. Maybe Carl's 3 sons have been tying Joe's hands? I know, not likely...Just looking for any sign of positivity in this bad news.

Knoblauch was to be inducted in 2014, but the ceremony was canceled due to his arrest for assault of a family member. "In light of recent news reports surrounding Chuck Knoblauch, as well as direct communication with the former Twins second baseman, the Minnesota Twins have decided to cancel the team's 2014 Hall of Fame induction ceremony scheduled for August 23 at Target Field. In January of this year, Knoblauch was elected by a 62-member committee consisting of local and national media, club officials, fans and past elected members, using rules similar to those necessary for election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Founded in 2000, the Twins Hall of Fame has 26 current inductees including players, managers, broadcasters, owners and members of the ballclub's front office."
