    Dec 29, 2017

    MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Outgoing U.S. Sen. Al Franken says he may be leaving office, but he’s not giving up his voice.

  • With Vikings' offensive humming, Pat Shurmur might have a big NFL future

    Dec 29, 2017

    Pat Shurmur went 9-23 as head coach of the Cleveland Browns in 2011 and 2012. That record looks a lot better now than it did then. The Browns are 0-15 entering Sunday’s regular-season finale and 1-30 since the start of last year. Fox NFL analyst Charles Davis said Shurmur, now the Vikings’ offensive coordinator, did impressive work to win that many games in Cleveland. https://www.twincities.com/2017/12/28/with-vikings-offensive-humming-pat-shurmur-in-line-for-second-chance/...
