Show notes

Host Michael Rand starts with intrigue about NFL quarterbacks. We should get our first look in a while at J.J. McCarthy this week. Kirk Cousins was a no-show at OTAs in Atlanta.

Show notes

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the long weekend in sports.

Monday's Game 4 Wolves loss to Oklahoma City was of course fresh and front-brain, with Reusse saying even though Minnesota lost just 128-126 he never thought the Wolves were going to win. The Thunder can end the series Wednesday in Oklahoma City.

Plus thoughts on the Twins and a championship for the Frost.

Show notes

Host Michael Rand starts with the Wolves' 118-103 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 2 Thursday, one which confirmed the Thunder are the better team but also showed Minnesota is not playing its best basketball. Several players are struggling, the intensity has been too sporadic and coach Chris Finch pushed the wrong buttons Thursday. Plus a dramatic overtime win by the Minnesota Frost to even their PWHL championship series.

9:00: Vikings writer Emily Leiker joins Rand to break down the news from the owners' meetings and to set up Vikings OTAs next week. We should get our first real looks at J.J. McCarthy in a long time.

Plus the Twins and Lynx managed to avoid bad losses and pull out important wins on Wednesday.

11:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for the Daily Delivery Debate on the Wolves and the "Tush Push".
