Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a rare story that has returned to him instead of fleeing like so many others. Former Gophers football coach Tim Brewster is back in the news and back as a head coach for the first time since being let go in Minnesota in 2010. He is the interim coach at Charlotte after their coach was fired. And yes, Brewster still has many of us (myself included) blocked on Twitter.7:00: Star Tribune Vikings writer Andrew Krammer joins Rand for a review of the film and

Star Tribune columnist joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, which starts with another grind-it-out win for the Vikings over a bad AFC South opponent. Minnesota hasn't been playing its best lately, but it hasn't mattered. Now the Vikings are 8-2 after a 23-13 win over the Titans. Plus Rand and Reusse get into the Wolves' last-second win, a tour of the new Division III football playoff format and a discussion of Bluesky vs. Twitter.

Host Michael Rand starts with the Wild, who won again but lost two key players against Montreal on Thursday. Can they stay healthy enough to be a force all season, and is the NHL the toughest league in which to preserve good health? And the Wild might not even be the hottest hockey team in town. That distinction belongs to Gophers men's hockey.10:00: Star Tribune columnist La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for their Daily Delivery debate segment. They share opinions on the Twins' front office

Introduction: Host Michael Rand returns from a sick day to talk about not one but two Wolves losses to the Blazers. What exactly is going on with this team? Well, we can't blame it all on Mike Conley Jr. It's not just the defense. It's not just what happens on a cold shooting night. But the vibes and chemistry are off, and the Wolves are 6-6 as a result. Plus the Gophers men's basketball team lost to North Texas on Wednesday.10:00: Gophers quarterback Max Brosmer joins the show to talk about his

Introduction: Vikings fans haven't had to take solace in the misfortune of others this year because the purple are a surprising 7-2. But if they did have to dip into that space, they would find fertile territory between the Bears, Cowboys and Aaron Rodgers, host Michael Rand notes.7:00: Andrew Krammer joins Rand for a film review and three hot takeaways, including this from Rand: Would the Vikings be pivoting right now to J.J. McCarthy if the rookie QB was healthy? It's a fascinating question in

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, which included the local teams playing down to the competition. The Vikings squeezed out a win over the woeful Jaguars despite three Sam Darnold interceptions. The Gophers football team had its four-game winning streak halted at Rutgers. The Wolves continued to look sluggish in a last-second loss to the Heat. And the Wild lost in overtime to Chicago.

2024/11/08

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Timberwolves, who keep overcoming slow starts (and overreactions to those slow starts from fans) to win games. A big reason is the sudden three-point prowess of Anthony Edwards, which was on display again in a comeback win over the Bulls on Thursday. 8:00: Star Tribune Vikings writer Ben Goessling joins Rand for a midyear look ahead to 2025. If you thought this year would be future-focused, a 6-2 start has changed that notion. But there are still a lot

Introduction: Host Michael Rand looks at the 11 kickers the Vikings have used since Gary Anderson was last their primary kicker in 2002 and ranks them all from worst to best. The impetus, of course, is that the Vikings will use a 12th kicker, John Parker Romo, with rookie sensation Will Reichard injured.11:00: Star Tribune columnist La Velle E.

The Vikings didn't make any more deals, but they added a kicker and long snapper because of injuries. The Wild, meanwhile, continued to struggle on the power play and lost 5-1 to the Kings.8:00: Star Tribune Gophers football writer Randy Johnson joins Rand for a breakdown of

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, starting of course with the Vikings' comeback win over the Colts. It wasn't as dramatic as reversing a 33-0 deficit as they did two years ago, but the Vikings again outplayed Indianapolis after the break in taking an important 21-13 victory. The defense was dominant. Sam Darnold was feast or famine. Plus they get into the Gophers football team's fourth straight victory, a surprisingly dominant

Mookie Betts keyed the win with a great hustle play, but the entire series was just a meeting between two high payroll teams in an inequitable system.8:00: La Velle E.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the big stories over the weekend. The Wolves, Reusse contends, haven't been very impressive in starting with a 2-1 record. More troubling is head coach Chris Finch sticking with a tight rotation that doesn't include any young players through three games. Plus it was a significant day for the Vikings even though they didn't play. Chicago lost on a last-second miracle and Packers QB Jordan Love exiting Green Bay's victory

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Vikings' second loss in a row after a 5-0 start, this time 30-20 to the Rams. The defense again allowed four touchdowns while the offense didn't run enough plays to get into a groove in the second half. A missed call on a facemask dashed any slim hope of a rally, but it was about No. 8 on the list of why the Vikings lost.9:00: Phil Miller joins Rand for a breakdown of what should be a busy Twins offseason.
