In sports, fans will have one more chance today to cheer for the WNBA champion Minnesota Lynx. There will be a parade for the team starting at 11:30 a.m. in downtown Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, it doesn't look like there will be any parades for the Minnesota Vikings this year. The Vikes are now 1-4 after losing to the Carolina Panthers 35-10 yesterday.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Howard Sinker, a digital sports editor for Star Tribune, about the loss.
