What (if any) of your kid favorites still make the pantry/fridge or freezer today? At least sometimes?

The Nebraska Cornhuskers men's basketball team secured their first-ever NCAA Tournament victory in program history, defeating the Troy Trojans 76-47 in the first round. Led by Pryce Sandfort's hot shooting, the No. 4 seeded Huskers broke an 0-8 all-time tournament record, marking a historic milestone.

The Vikings have indeed re-signed QB Carson Wentz. Given the depth issues they've faced at the position in 2023, and again in 2025, they want to minimize the risk of having an inexperienced QB on the field in 2026.

And for those riding KOC's jock too hard, keep this in mind:

The Vikings have used three or more QBs twice in Kevin O'Connell's four seasons, so the plan was to have depth entering 2026. They get it with the return of Carson Wentz, who is entering his 11th NFL season.

How's Mr. Kyler Cole Murray going to take us deep into the playoffs? Can some of that hero ball put some stakes through the hearts of NFCN fans in epic fashion? It would be SO enjoyable to see the guy do to others what has been historically done to the Vikings. Pull some rabbits out of his hat and win some games in the most heartbreaking manner possible for OTHER team's fans for once. God I'd love to see that. I think he's going to be very jonesed to show Viking's fans his best....especially after he feels that U.S. Bank love.

"After talking to sources inside and outside the organization, the best way to think of the Vikings' current approach is an aggressive right-sizing of their roster finances. The Wilfs did not order a lower cash payroll this season, multiple sources confirmed. The NFL is not structured for teams to have indefinite annual spending at the rate the Vikings have in recent years, and essentially the Vikings decided that 2026 was the time to eat their vegetables.

"We had a plan that we devised together," Brzezinski said, "and I'm just really proud of the way everybody worked together, identifying some targets that we were able to reach agreements with. There's others we weren't, but I think I'm really most proud of the patience. ... Really grateful also for [Hockenson and Jones] reworking their contracts to find a middle ground. These were two players and two people that are really important to our football team and to [coach Kevin O'Connell] in our locker room.

"So I feel like we've navigated responsibly the future versus being competitive this year. And I feel like we're in a really good spot, but like we keep saying, there's a long way to go."

What are the Vikings doing? They're planning a run at the playoffs while resuscitating their financial outlook and adjusting, for at least one year, a quarterback plan that went awry."

Signed with Vikings

Bills player, per Schefty, to an offer sheet.

The Minnesota Vikings must decide on Jordan Addison's fifth-year option by May 1, 2026, which is projected to cost approximately $17.5 million for the 2027 season. 

This decision is significant, as Addison's performance in the 2026 season will influence the Vikings' approach to a potential contract extension, with market comparisons suggesting a deal in the $25–30 million per year range.
