Some straying from topic leads to talk about Twitter troll accounts and more love for PJ Fleck.While on topic, we talk about how good the Twins will be and we estimate how many home runs they will hit by going through the lineup player by player. Can the beat 225?It's a big Tuesday in Minnesota sports and that includes the first of two games this week where the Gophers will have a chance to win their way into the NCAA Tournament... I wish we were as optimistic on them as we are on the Twins...The Vikings trade rumors are swirling. Is Everson Griffen the right phone call away from being a former Viking?And, you didn't think you would escape an episode without a PJ BJ did you? Good, because we talk about Fleck vs. Jerry again.

    The NFL Draft is around the corner and there is nobody better on the internet to talk to us about it than Jordan Reid or Climb the Pocket and Cover1 Sports. Jordan's road to NFL Draft Analyst fame isn't a normal one. It's the Twitter Cinderella Story!Jordan drops all sorts of knowledge on the Vikings' options at 18. He tells us if it's a lock for the Vikings to go offensive line or if they might look elsewhere. Who would need to drop for the us to look at drafting outside of OL?With so much need at OL, Jordan tells us who might be a good fit for our purple and gold. He also tells us what he looks for while watching the combine, which will be alive in full force over the next few days.Finally, we had to let Jordan go or Brandon never would've stopped asking questions... We moved onto Ja Rule's supposed curse against the Timberwolves.... and the Kings?Do the Twins have us actually reasonably excited for baseball?????????

    Ep. 42: Ryan Burns Talks Jealous Jerry + Pitino's Hot Seat and Rocco's Modern Twins

    Jerry Kill made a fool of himself on Tuesday evening when he went on national radio with an agenda to slander PJ Fleck. Unfortunately for him, everyone listening has a brain and knows what he said was false. Ryan Burns comes on the show to give us his inside take on the entire situation and then updates us on the current state of Gopher Football recruiting. Then, Brandon and I discuss why Jerry is so salty and jealous of PJ Fleck.Then, we move on to the other coach on campus, Richard Pitino. The Gophers are on the NCAA bubble and Richard Pitino's job should be on the line. We discuss why it'd be the perfect time to fire him if he isn't dancing in March.With so much negativity around town, it's nice to have some hope in the Twins and Rocco Baldelli is a big reason for that hope. With sweeping changes around Fort Myers for Spring Training, the Twins seem to be on the cutting edge of the MLB instead of being last to the party like we've been used to. Now..... can he win?Lastly, who is to blame for the Kirk Cousins Twitter controversies? Should we feel bad for Kirk Cousins? Are his mentions getting out of hand? Also, Charlie Coyle got traded right before the show and we know nothing about who the Wild got back for him. GREAT hockey minds!
