Introduction: Host Michael Rand has some thoughts on Rudy Gobert, Rob Dillingham and the Wolves after a 108-105 loss to the Suns. Plus the Wild salvaged a win at the end of a tough road trip and the Twins are looking for lottery luck today.
8:00: Andrew Krammer joins Rand to break down the film from Sunday's 31-0 Vikings win. Is this a sign of J.J. McCarthy getting more comfortable, an incredibly weak opponent or a little of both?
25:00: Vikings poetry never disappoints.
38:00: A great Monday Night Football game, a desperate QB situation and some love for an overlooked team.
Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports. Among the big topics: A turnaround for the Vikings and QB J.J. McCarthy in a 31-0 victory over Washington; a terrible closing sequence in a one-point Gophers women's basketball loss to Maryland; and the Gophers football team heading to the Rate Bowl.
1Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wolves and Wild, who didn't exactly learn lessons from their Tuesday victories. But the Wolves won again over the Pelicans, establishing further evidence that they can at least beat bad teams. The Wild lost at Calgary but are in a good spot in their division.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the release of Adam Thielen, which perfectly encapsulates how the Vikings' plan this season has gone off the rails.

33:00: Vikings poetry and monster trucks.
