Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with three converging hypotheticals. What would have happened if Sam Darnold was on the Vikings last season?

And how might all of this be different if Bill Belichick had become Falcons head coach instead of now taking the North Carolina job?8:00: La Velle E.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts off the 1,000th episode of Daily Delivery with a hard truth about the Gophers men's basketball team, which lost 82-67 to Indiana on Monday. Coach Ben Johnson wants more effort. But this team is clearly lacking in talent after major roster turnover, and effort can only make up for so much of that. 7:00: Star Tribune Vikings writer Andrew Krammer joins Rand for their weekly Vikings film review. Rand fires in first with three hot takeaways, including a thought

Introduction: Host Michael Rand and Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse break down the weekend in sports, which of course begins with the Vikings' 42-21 win over Kirk Cousins and the Falcons.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Lions vs. Packers game on two fronts. First, it was a pure test of head vs. heart for Vikings fans. A Green Bay win would have been great for the Vikings' NFC North chances, but some people just can't root for Minnesota's biggest rival under any circumstances. Second, Detroit's 34-31 win gave us numerous examples of how stressful it is to play against the Lions.12:00: Star Tribune Vikings writer Ben Goessling joins Rand from Atlanta, where he is

There are starting to be some striking similarities between the Wild and Vikings. Plus the Gophers women's basketball team is 10-0 while the Wolves are 10-10.

2024/12/02

On a jam-packed Daily Delivery podcast, host Michael Rand and Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse start with the Vikings' stirring comeback victory over Arizona. To Reusse, what stood out the most was the Cardinals hurting themselves with penalties and coaching down the stretch. Regardless, the Vikings are 10-2 and have a chance for great things. The Gophers football team crushed a fading Wisconsin team 24-7 in the regular-season finale, leaving fans both satisfied but perhaps dreaming of what

On a standalone episode of Daily Delivery, Star Tribune Vikings writer Ben Goessling and host Michael Rand discuss this week's news that the Vikings have signed QB Daniel Jones to the practice squad. While likely just a preview of what might be possible in 2025, the move has plenty of intrigue given the Vikings' past, present and future at quarterback.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand on the Daily Delivery podcast for a look back at the weekend in sports. It would have been a complete disaster in Minnesota if not for the Vikings rescuing victory from the clutches of defeat. They gave away their game and then took it back in a 30-27 win over the Bears. The Wolves lost twice and the Gophers football team lost once, unless you count moral victories (which they do not). And Minnesota United was thumped out of the MLS

Host Michael Rand breaks down Sunday's wild 30-27 Vikings win over the Bears. Minnesota led 27-16 with less than 30 seconds left before the Bears rallied with a touchdown, two-point conversion, onside kick and field goal to tie. But the resilient Vikings got a stop in overtime and then a big drive of their own to improve to 9-2 this year.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Timberwolves, who always lose in Toronto but managed to do it in a very disheartening way on Thursday. Something is broken with this team, and fixing it doesn't appear to be simple. The Wild, meanwhile, continued their scorching start. They are 9-1-2 on the road after a 5-3 win over Edmonton. 10:00: Gophers men's hockey coach Bob Motzko joins the show for a look at his team, which like the Wild is off to a strong start.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Gophers men's basketball team's win over Cleveland State, which was keyed by super-veteran Parker Fox and his 18 points. Originally recruited during the Obama administration (really), Fox could be a key player for Minnesota this season. And Kirill Kaprizov had two more goals for the Wild in another good win.8:00: Randy Johnson joins Rand to set up the Gophers vs. Penn State game this weekend and to catch us up to speed on the rest of the Big Ten
