ONE ACT PLAY COMPETITIONS FOR THE WEEKEND WILL GO ON AS SCHEDULED.

IT IS HOCKEY DAY MINNESOTA THIS WEEKEND, HOSTED IN HASTINGS, AND THEY POSTED THAT THOSE ACTIVITIES WILL PROCEED, AS THEY WILL TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TO ENSURE EVERYONE’S SAFETY IN THE EXTREME COLD AND FANS ARE URGED TO DRESS APPROPRIATELY.

NFL:
THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS SIGNED DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR BRIAN FLORES TO A CONTRACT EXTENSION. HE ORIGINALLY SIGNED A THREE YEAR DEAL, BUT THAT EXPIRED LAST WEEK. THIS DOES NOT MEAN HE CANNOT LEAVE FOR A HEAD COACHING POSITION IF ANOTHER TEAM OFFERS THAT TO HIM IN THE COMING WEEKS, BUT ENSURES HE’LL BE WITH THE VIKINGS IF HE DOES NOT.

MLB:
THERE WAS ONE BLOCKBUSTER TRADE IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL YESTERDAY, AND THE NEW YORK METS HAVE STRUCK AGAIN, BUT GAVE UP TWO BIG PROSPECTS IN THE PROCESS. THE METS WILL ACQUIRE MILWAUKEE’S ACE STARTER IN FREDDY PERALTA, ALONG WITH PITCHER TOBIAS MYERS. THE BREWERS GET STARTING PITCHER BRANDON SPROAT AND MIDDLE INFIELDER JETT WILLIAMS. SPROAT WAS PROMOTED TO THE MAJORS NEAR THE END OF LAST SEASON AND MADE FOUR STARTS. WHILE WILLIAMS FINISHED THE YEAR AT TRIPLE-A.
