UPPER MARLBORO, M.D. (KFYR) – Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson has died in an overnight car accident. The rookie was 24 years old. The Minnesota Vikings confirmed it on their X social page this afternoon.
According to Maryland police, Jackson was one of three killed in the crash. Former college football players Anthony Lytton Jr. and Isaiah Hazel, who were in the car with Jackson also died. Jackson was not driving.
Jackson was a fourth-round pick in this year’s draft. He spent his final year of college at Oregon, earning First-Team All-Pac-12 honors in his lone season with the Ducks. He spent the previous two seasons at Alabama.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell posted about the rookie’s passing.
“I am absolutely crushed by this news. Khyree brought a contagious energy to our facility and our team. His confidence and engaging personality immediately drew his teammates to him. In our short time together, it was evident that Khyree was going to develop into a tremendous professional football player, but what was more impressive was his desire to become the best person he could be for his family and those around him. I am at a loss for words. My heart goes out to Khyree’s family, friends, teammates and coaches,” said O’Connell.

Astros 13, Twins 12: Rally? Bye, in ashes
![Astros 13, Twins 12: Rally? Bye, in ashes](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/10goN0Md-87COS-66Z4J3Uj2GRk=/0x196:2738x1630/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25519466/usa_today_23689469.jpg)
Good morning/evening, ladies & gents & non-binary folks.
I wrote most of the parody below when the score was 13-5, only for the Twins to put up seven runs in the bottom of the ninth — including a Carlos Correa grand slam off Josh Hader to put the Twins to within one — before Manuel Margot whiffed to end it.
But as I took my sleep meds (which for some reason take an hour or more to kick in) around 45 minutes ago, I’m not rewriting this.
So note that the downer sentiments expressed below are somewhat mitigated by the exciting ending, even if the conclusion was a letdown.)
This was a cruddy ending,
At last they call game;
No use in us pretending:
One crappy ballgame.
Come into the ballpark, Pablo’s on the mound;
Still at the start where our hope is found.
But everything that happened, it naturally went wrong,
Mmm, the innings pass before us, and we have to chug along.
We matched their three in second by the end of third;
But further anguish beckoned; soon this game would prove a massive turd.
Iiiiiiiii… don’t know what I’m watching;
Each guyyyyyyyyyy… botching every play.
This Houston rout unending,
They whooped us all game.
Their score will keep ascending
This crappy ballgame.
Ten o’clock in the evening, still we’re in the ninth;
We’ve answered twice, they clock us around.
At least Miranda got his streak up to ten;
Hope he gets up tomorrow to bat and can do it again.
In terms of STUDS, it’s just he, and Brooks and Kepler too;
The rest were wholly rusty; DUDS, our pitching; all was rancid poo.
Iiiiiiiii… feel like I could vomit,
But fiiiiiiiiiiind… Comment of the Game.
Oh Iiiiiiiii’m… (What’s in my brain is blending, it’s done so all game)
giving it to Lincoln. (These dragging hours we’re spending, mean crappy ballgame.)
‘Cause Iiiiiiiii’m… (Whatever else is pending? No mind, we’ll call game.)
…thinkin’ this is best. (This lengthy time’s extending this crappy ballgame.)
[NOTE: This is the entire “Little bit of love” section and final chorus, repeated with a crescendo of a choir. For reasons elaborated in the preamble, I’m skipping it and going right to the finish:]
But still this team’s contending;
They battled all game.
Let’s hope tomorrow’s pending
No crappy ballgame.
