Vikings final roster cuts, Williams v. Williams pt. 30, and Thibs' quest to rebuild the 2011 Chicago Bulls roster in Minnesota.
The guys are at the fair today for Super Sports Talk Saturday! VIkes talk dominates this hour. So it would be fair to assume that they will tell us which players stood out…and which ones were just…fair.
We still get in to some more football this hour, like is AP ever going retire? Which of course leads to Joe Mauer…

Judd and Coller talk about the changes at 1500 and the Vikings preseason game.
Twins brass is listening to Journey songs as they are making trades...the players aren't happy...the fans aren't happy...will they now let Doz and Maurerzy play for a possible championship team too?
"Seperate Ways(Worlds Apart)" must've been playing...howabout "Anyway you want it". Its all Journey's fault!! But then again, they did play "Dont Stop Believin"... which is nice.
Who do you think is more excited about Tiger at The Open...Judd and Coller or NBC sports execs? Remember when you used to mimic some of the crazy batting stances when you were growing up? Not too many to try and copy today. The Wild sign Dumba to a nice contract...is he worth it?
Lots of great local athletes were special on the field, but then disappointing with their antics off the field. Who? So getting ready for Randy Moss to the HOF, what was your favorite Moss moment?
Judd and Matthew debate shopping...and the Twins? Matthew says the 2nd half schedule sets up well for the Twins...Judd just doesn't want to hear of it! Why aren't the Indians fixing their bad bullpen and pulling away?
Judd discusses if the NFL would be wise in looking at the interest the NBA rookie league has and maybe doing something like that as well? Still have some old baseball cards? Matthew left behind his "fat guy" collection when he moved here...still have yours?
Its a bit for early for Panic Judd to be bothered by Kirk Cousins before he even takes a snap...right?

Lets go boys...you sell out the arena every game...give us more!!
Our Manny Hill is in this hour with Judd and Matthew for a State of The Wolves Union address! Can we make the playoffs and if so, how far can we go? Will Thibs loosen up some and play and develop some of the new young guys? Will Butler get along with CAT?

Yes some hockey talk with special guest and MN's own Hobey Baker winner and US Womens gold medalist coach Robb Stauber joins to talk hockey and politics! Bad loss for the Twins last night, thank goodness for summer and that ballpark!
Will the Wolves make the big move yet...or will it be some minor adjustments? Mathew and Judd have some fun with World Cup Soccer and all those major injuries that occur! So many changes coming in the NFL...so many law suits for head injuries too.

We break down the tape this hour. See how Judd does on Mathew's spelling bee! So how do the Gophers lose their possible starting QB already and wont take a single snap?
Judd and Matthew like the rest of us just continue to wait for Kyle Gibson to someday put it all together...or will he? The Wolves better do everything they can to make big KAT happy...as it doesn't appear that he's very happy now and he may want out sooner than later!
So an NHL expansion team this close to playing for the Cup...things have changed and need to change more including the Wild. Is Labron leaving the Cavs...will they get swept...great interview this hour. We also have a Royal edition of "breaking down the tape" and release our all royal baseball lineup today!
Judd who cant fix anything gives Matthew some guff for putting a bed together...why cant media types ever be handy with a tool? Important road trip for the Twins is going well...big win last night.
The guys touch a few things this hour, things mostly quiet on the Vikes side but we sneak a little post draft talk.

Matthew and Courtney will shred the tape on the Vike rookies...plus we also touch on Matthews poor attempt to put together an Ikea bed last night, Soccer, and the lastly the Derby!
Did the Vikes really mess this draft up by not trading up and taking a really good Guard? Will the guys they picked up be able to make an impact?
We have a live draft pick by the Vikes this hour, a Defensive Lineman from OSU so we have Matthew give us the scoop on him. So the Twins are a mess. Buxton is out longer, Sano had to try and bend over and pulled a hammy...appears this season is going the wrong way.
Lets see what happens with the Wolves tonight...will Thibs get them to play his way? Matthew "breaks down the tape" on the Vikes draft possibilities! So why is Point Break one of Judd's favorite movies...really?
Judd and Matthew crush the Wild performance last night but should we be surprised with this? Some big changes should occur to fix this annual early playoff exit!! Its early, but what do we think of the Twins so far. What's up with the hot Red Sox?
It would be nice to see the Wolves win maybe one game this series and be somewhat competitive in the other games right? Do Judd and Matthew like the hiring of Lindsay Whalen to lead the lady Gophers program?
Judd Zulgad was not pleased with the Wild's effort last night
Can the Wild win one game in this series? Was the fighting at the end of the game ok or just bush league and will coach Bruce get fined?
Have the Wolves tuned out their coach? Thank goodness Jimmy Butler is back!! Jimmy's the coach on the floor who they do listen to.

We have our own SMST football mock draft this hour with Matthew and Courtney. So why is a Viking player posting some digs at coach Zimmer? Some late Twins talk too.
So a 16 seed finally beats a 1 seed...wow...and it wasn't even close! Hows your bracket now? Does a trade by the Jets mean something for Teddy Bridgewater and his playing time?
Judd and Matthew were wondering why Zimmer seemed unhappy for some reason with the Vikes getting Cousins? Is he going to miss Teddy that much? Could it eventually hurt his precious defense? Will the Wolves hang on and make the playoffs?
Big week for the Viking this week as we will have more info on who will be our QB! Judd and Matthew weigh in on what they think will happen. Mr. Cousins could be coming to town soon?
