Maybe Christmas Just Isn’t the Wild’s Thing – Minnesota Wild
There are two types of people during the Christmas season. One type is like Cindy Lou Who.

Why Isn’t T.J. Hockenson More Involved In the Vikings Offense?
T.J. Hockenson’s four-year, $66 million extension reset the tight end market, signaling his value to the Minnesota Vikings. They had traded a 2023 second-round pick and a 2024 third-rounder for Hockenson and fourth-round picks in 2023 and 2024. Extending him was the final step.
