ST. PAUL, Minn. — (AP) — The Minnesota Court of Appeals on Monday upheld the state's "Clean Car Rule," which ties the state's vehicle emission standards to California regulations, as judges accepted assurances that California's planned phaseout of gasoline-powered cars won't automatically apply in Minnesota. The appeals court concluded that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency acted within its statutory authority and that the state's rule is therefore valid. It takes effect in the 2025 model year and is meant to increase the supply and selection of electric vehicles. While manufacturers are ramping up production, the group contends that the rule could still saddle dealers with more electric vehicles than consumers want to buy. Under the federal Clean Air Act, states generally must follow California's standards or default to the the federal standards.

The Timberolves explored the offseason trade market of point guards, league sources told Yahoo Sports, and particularly Dejounte Murray. A 2019 sign-and-trade first delivered Russell to the Warriors from the Nets, following a 2018 deal that shipped Russell from the Los Angeles Lakers to Brooklyn. Word among league personnel of the Wolves’ openness to moving Russell has only persisted since this summer’s Murray flirtations. But if Russell were to walk on the open market, Minnesota would not inherit his $31.3 million salary in open cap space. “You either take advantage of me and my ability, or f*** up the opportunity with me,” Russell told Yahoo Sports in December.

The Minnesota Vikings team on the standings page doesn't seem to connect to the team on the stats page. Pythagorean expected wins, which estimates a team’s record based on point differential, gave the Vikings 8.4 wins.

There's no point in trying to explain the Vikings' season thus far, but their journey isn't over. Now, the Vikings are a historic outlier among teams that won 12 or more games, but middling teams make the playoffs pretty routinely.
