Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse and host Michael Rand take a look back at the weekend in sports and a look ahead to Monday's huge playoff game between the Vikings and Rams. The NFL playoffs so far have been a dud, with either lopsided results, mediocre action or both. The Vikings know going into Monday that they would face the Eagles if they advance to the next round thanks to Philadelphia's win over the Packers and Washington's upset of Tampa Bay. The biggest question, of course: Which

The Gophers women's basketball team is now 16-1 after a 26-point win over Rutgers. The St. Thomas men's basketball team is 3-0 in conference play after a nice win over South Dakota State. And the Frost won in overtime on a Taylor Heise goal, part of their strong start to this season.9:00: Star Tribune columnist La Velle E. Neal III joins the show for the weekly Daily Delivery

Introduction: On a jam-packed edition of the podcast, host Michael Rand starts with the Timberwolves. They won 108-106 on Monday after making a change to their starting lineup. Donte DiVincenzo replaced Mike Conley Jr., a move that seemed to help both players. Did Chris Finch simply listen to all of us? Plus the Gophers men's basketball team made a slew of errors down late in the game in an 89-88 double overtime loss to Ohio State.11:00: Andrew Krammer joins Rand for a review of the 31-9 Vikings

2025/01/06

Host Michael Rand was joined by Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse for a look back at the weekend in Minnesota sports, which of course started with the Vikings' disappointing 31-9 loss in Detroit. With home field advantage and the No. 1 seed on the line, the Vikings couldn't cash in red zone chances on offense. Now they have to go on the road and face a Rams team that already beat them once this year. 22:00: The news isn't much better with the Timberwolves. 34:00: The Wild, on the other hand,

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the NBA's biggest problem. Ratings are down for a number of reasons, but here is a big one: As teams like the Celtics have won with ruthless efficiency, as they did Thursday against the Wolves, the game has become less interesting to watch. Rand also touches on the uninspiring Twins offseason plus a win for the Wild and a loss for Gophers men's basketball. 11:00: Star Tribune columnist La Velle E.

Though the Longhorns prevailed, the Arizona State comeback gave us a game for the ages. 6:00: Rand runs through his list of the 10 biggest story lines in Minnesota sports in 2024.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a big week in Minnesota sports as things get serious with the turn of the calendar. The Wolves play the Thunder and Celtics, perhaps the two biggest NBA title contenders this season. The Wild have a big week. The Gophers men's basketball team hosts Purdue. The Gophers football team can extend its bowl streak. And the Vikings cap it all off. 9:00: Andrew Krammer joins Rand to break down the film from the Vikings' win over the Packers.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse and host Michael Rand look back at the weekend in Minnesota sports, which of course begins with the Vikings' 27-25 win over the Packers on Sunday. The Vikings are now 14-2 with a chance to earn home-field advantage in the NFC next week vs. Detroit. Already this is the most surprising season in franchise history, Reusse says.

They are 14-14 after a defeat in Atlanta, and one of two things needs to happen soon: A lineup change bringing Naz Reid into the starting group and Julius Randle to the bench, or a second Randle trade.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, which included one of the best Vikings' wins of the season. Facing plenty of adversity in Seattle, Minnesota rallied for a 27-24 victory to keep pace in the NFC North at 13-2. Two more wins would give the Vikings the division title and the No. 1 seed in the conference. In news that is, um, less good: The Wolves have lost two in a row and look just as lost as they did earlier in the season. And the

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the unsightly mess that happened at Target Center on Thursday. In Karl-Anthony Towns' much-anticipated return after a trade just a few months ago, the Wolves were clobbered by Towns and the Knicks. Fans booed as the Wolves, who seemed to be getting themselves sorted out by winning six of their previous seven games, floundered. 11:00: Star Tribune Vikings writer Ben Goessling joins Rand for a look at two big stories.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wild, who have lost three of their last four games, including another lopsided defeat (6-1) on Wednesday against Florida. Goaltending has been the biggest part of the Wild's resurgence this season, and they need Filip Gustavsson to recover soon from his lower body injury. Otherwise, advanced data says their season will be in peril.7:00: Kirk Cousins spoke to the media for the first time since he was benched by the Falcons. Hear what he had to

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Vikings' 30-12 win over the Bears on Monday Night Football, which was a grinding affair but ultimately proved satisfying. Minnesota is now 12-2 with a chance to win both the NFC North and gain the No. 1 seed if it wins its final three games. But the Vikings will probably have to play more efficiently than they did Monday to earn those things.12:00: The Star Tribune's Jeff Day joins Rand to talk through his excellent long profile of Gophers gymnast Mya
