From rookie dinners to birthdays, Billy Sushi is a go-to for Vikings players because of its menu, vibes and — maybe most importantly — owner Billy Tserenbat’s hospitality. “It’s always just love when we get there. It just feels more like home…” buff.ly/98YUqBP

Made it. Vikings-Packers in a couple hours. (That’s a reflection of the press box lighting not a sky anomaly, though that would’ve somehow felt apt with what this week’s been 😅)

At Kirk Cousins press conference before its starts & I was so happy to see 12 other women’s in this room. 13 of us reporters-writers-producers -PR staff etc It’s times like this that makes me so happy - I remember when I was the solo female. I love having more powerful women in sports. “We’ve come a long way baby!”
