Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens is a gunslinger. He knows he needs to play smarter.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:30:19 GMT

There was a common misconception about veteran Nick Mullens when he took over as the starting quarterback for the Vikings last week.As the primary backup to franchise player Kirk Cousins over the past couple of seasons, Mullens garnered the reputation of being somebody, who, if called upon, could help the offense function without making too many mistakes.That’s never been how Mullens plays the position, however, as he long has operated as a gunslinger more than anything else. He’s going to take chances in the name of moving the chains. He’s also going to get himself into trouble at times as a result.So maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Mullens had some highs and lows during his first start for the Vikings in last week’s 27-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He finished 26 of 33 passing for 303 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also threw a pair of interceptions that effectively took points off the board.“There were a lot of positives to ...

How Gophers football recruited and signed four-star safety Koi Perich

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:30:19 GMT

When the Gophers got an airplane to fly a “Row the Boat” banner over Koi Perich’s high school playoff game in Brainerd in November, there wasn’t much belief within the football program that the four-star safety would stick with his pick of Minnesota.The Gophers, however, felt they needed to do everything possible to keep from crashing out of the high-end recruiting sweepstakes.Ohio State, Florida State and Southern Cal had entered the recruiting battle for one of the top 100 players in the nation. With those football powerhouses in the mix, it seemed to be setting up for a classic case of a top-flight program swooping in and plucking the top-ranked player in Minnesota.That story has been written many times before.But Perich bucked that trend Wednesday, signing a national letter of intent with the Gophers.“Just being able to play in your own state and in front of all your home fans, being a hometown kid is going to be very fun,” Perich told the Duluth News Tribune and other outlets o...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:30:19 GMT

A South Park Hill home that the current owner wants to demolish, but that some neighbors want to see preserved, is now being marketed for sale.A listing for the 4,500-square-foot home on 0.43 acres at 5013 E. Montview Ave. went live on Zillow last week with a $2.73 million asking price.Owners Mark and Marianne Rinehart purchased the home on 0.43 acres through a trust for $2.5 million in September 2022, records show.

The application is still pending and has yet to be reviewed by Denver’s Landmark Preservation Commission. If it passes that step, the final decision will be up to the City Council, which earlier this year approved an owner-oppo...

By JILL COLVIN and HANNAH FINGERHUT (Associated Press)AMES, Iowa (AP) — With less than a month to go before voting begins, Donald Trump ‘s Republican rivals are once again rallying to his defense, this time after Colorado’s Supreme Court ruled to remove him from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause.Just as they had following Trump’s successive indictments as he racked up 91 criminal charges, the GOP front-runner’s opponents cast the landmark decision — the first time in history the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate and one the former president has vowed to appeal — as inappropriate, a “stunt” and an “attack on democracy.” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis charged the court’s ruling was a plot to ensure Trump wins the nomination because Democrats view him as the weakest Republican candidate.“Look, it’s unfair. T...
