Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a look at the Vikings and Gophers football teams. Both squads professed a desire for more offensive balance last season, with the Vikings looking to run more and the Gophers looking to pass more. But limited personnel and old habits led to more of the same for both Kevin O'Connell and P.J. Fleck. Is there hope for a different outcome in 2024? 11:00: Star Tribune Twins writer Phil Miller joins Rand to talk about Bally Sports North being back on Comcast, but at a higher pricing tier. Will sports fans stick with it after three months off the air? Plus an examination of the Twins' tepid trade deadline moves and a Carlos Correa update. 34:00: The Olympics have been great.
Introduction: After a couple of days off during which host Michael Rand rediscovered the brief joy of one good hole of golf, he is back with thoughts on Bally Sports North being back on Comcast. It's a sigh of relief for Minnesota sports fans, particularly those who have been missing the Twins and Lynx this summer, but the new pricing tier is $20 more per month if you want to watch now. Will fans pay it, or will the Twins, Comcast and Bally Sports North pay the price? 10:00: Star Tribune Gophers football writer Randy Johnson joins the show to catch us up to speed on the first week of practice. The strengths of the Gophers appear to be on the offensive and defensive lines, but a tough schedule will challenge P.J. Fleck's team. 30:00: A defining year for Aaron Rodgers' legacy.

Josh has the Quick Takes for today from the return of the Twins to Bally Sports North to dumb criminals - we have it all covered . Also, Jordana shares a story of table tennis in the Olympics that we found to be fascinating.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the news that the Twins might soon be back on Comcast, at least according to a progress report given by an attorney for Diamond Sports. Rand's sense is that if Bally Sports North returns to Comcast, however, it will be on a higher pricing tier and that Twins fans will have to pay more than before. The bigger question remains: What will be the Twins' local TV solution in 2025 and beyond? Plus another Max Kepler walk-off, a key Vikings injury on the first day of camp and Jordan Addison's first comments since his arrest. 16:00: Mike Wierzbicki, a senior associate AD with the Gophers, talks to Rand about a special triumph for Minnesota. The Gophers were one of just two schools in the country to have players selected in the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB drafts this year. 29:00: You might have missed it, but the Olympics started.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Lynx, who earned an impressive 82-67 win at Los Angeles on Tuesday thanks in large part to a perfect 4-for-4 shooting night from three-point range by Bridget Carleton. It was Minnesota's second straight win without injured star Napheesa Collier, and their win total (16) has already reached preseason expectations for the whole year. 7:00: Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins joins Rand to vent frustration about the ongoing absence of Bally Sports North on Comcast. It's been more than two months since subscribers to the largest cable carrier in the state could see Twins broadcasts, and there is no immediate relief in sight. Plus Scoggins and Rand get into a recent list of 36 teams in the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB that have never won a championship. 36:00: Football isn't far away. The Yankees are struggling.
We had the chance to chat with Kevin Lynch of Bally Sports North, reminiscing about high school, Mavericks dominating the Celtics in Game 4, why the Timberwolves struggled with Luka Doncic while Boston isnt and much more!
Another hour of sports on Saturday, we replayed an interview Dan Gladden sitting down with former Twins closer Joe Nathan. Also discussed Caitlin Clark being left off of Team USA and chatted with Kevin Lynch of Bally Sports North about high school graduation, Celtics-Mavericks Game 4 recap and if Boston can close it out at home in Game 5.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a look at Justin Jefferson's first four seasons with the Vikings and how his fifth feels like the start of a new phase of his career. The star wide receiver has a big new contract and a rookie quarterback to help bring along. Plus Rand takes note of another win for the Lynx and a milestone for Cheryl Reeve. 9:00: U.S. Senator Tina Smith joins the show as she takes up the cause for frustrated Twins fans. Smith this week wrote a letter to Comcast's top executive this week urging the cable giant to put Bally Sports North back on the air and noting that her "constituents are furious" that they haven't been able to watch the Twins for more than a month. She explains more of that frustration to Rand. 24:00: Another disappointing Twins vs. Yankees game and an NBA Finals worth watching if you're a Wolves fan.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand takes listeners through Tuesday's latest hearing in bankruptcy court as local teams try to learn their TV fates. It doesn't sound like Twins games will be back on Bally Sports North for Comcast subscribers anytime soon, while a six-week delay in the Diamond Sports bankruptcy process is making leagues antsy. If you couldn't watch the Twins on Tuesday, you have probably seen that game anyway. They lost 5-1 to the Yankees. 9:00: Star Tribune Lynx writer Kent Youngblood joins Rand for a breakdown of the early part of the WNBA season. The Lynx are off to a hot 6-2 start. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark is still making a lot of headlines. 30:00: Wolves President Tim Connelly adjusted his contract.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand reacts to Monday's news that the Vikings and wide receiver Justin Jefferson have agreed on a four-year, $140 million contract. Because of how long it took to get to the finish line, all sorts of outlandish thoughts of trading Jefferson crept in. But in the end, this is what should have happened for everyone. Plus Rand looks at Twins vs. Yankees and a hearing Tuesday in bankruptcy court that is another step in untangling the fate of Minnesota teams on Bally Sports North. 12:00: Star Tribune Timberwolves writer Chris Hine joins Rand to break down the end of the Wolves' season and what's ahead this offseason. With just a few weeks before the draft and free agency, Minnesota has a lot of decisions in a short amount of time. 33:00: Will Wolves assistant coach Micah Nori still be here next year?
Warm weather means grilled food. We talked to Meghan Gess of Minnesota Monthly about the upcoming Grillfest in Saint Paul. Reacted to recent audio from bodycam footage of the Scottie Scheffler incident and chatted with current Bally Sports North play by play and former radio voice of the Twins Cory Provus.

Introduction: In part one of Thursday's huge lineup, host Michael Rand looks at what has been powering the Twins, who have won 14 of their last 16 games -- including a 6-3 win on Wednesday -- to improve to 21-15 overall and just 2.5 games back in the AL Central. A big part of it is the hitting of Ryan Jeffers, who is fourth in the majors in slugging percentage. And Chris Paddack won his fourth decision in a row in Wednesday's victory. 8:00: Bally Sports North General Manager Randy Stephens joins the show to offer BSN's perspective on the pricing dispute with Comcast that led to Bally Sports channels being removed nationwide from Comcast last week. What is Stephens' message to Twins fans, and where do we go from here? 21:00: NBA teams losing their cool.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand goes deep on Monday's dominant 106-80 Timberwolves victory in Denver that gave Minnesota a commanding 2-0 lead coming back to Target Center for Friday's Game 3. The defense was suffocating even without Rudy Gobert, while the Nuggets lost their composure and seem discombobulated. This is an unfamiliar feeling for Minnesota sports fans, and the joy is contagious. 14:00: Jon Marthaler joins the show to break down Minnesota United's strong start. Whether it's tactical changes, strong defense or good vibes, something feels different about the Loons. And they're doing it without Emanuel Reynoso, who is out of sight, out of mind at the moment. Come for the soccer talk, stay for the mid-2000s Gophers basketball references. 34:00: Sorting out how Twins fans are dealing with Comcast dropping Bally Sports North.
So what's the Timberwolves' reward for winning their first playoff series in 20 years? How about the defending champions? Bally Sports North basketball analyst Kevin Lynch dives into the Wolves-Nuggets series that begins on Saturday night.
We talk Wild, Wolves, and horse racing with the great Kevin Gorg of Bally Sports North and Canterbury Park.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with some big news for local sports fans. Comcast announced Tuesday night that it was dropping Bally Sports channels, including Bally Sports North, after the sides were unable to reach a contract agreement. BSN disappeared from customers' TVs late Tuesday, and if this impasse is permanent it will have a massive impact on Minnesota sports fans. 10:00: Jeff Day joins Rand on two very different but interesting subjects: What it is like to be a Timberwolves fan after so many tough years and what it is like for college sports donors in the era of name, image and likeness. 47:00: The Knicks had the 76ers where they wanted them, and they let them off the hook.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand thinks we need to refocus if we're thinking about the Vikings taking a quarterback in the draft.

That's where the value -- and their future QB -- might be. 7:00: Star Tribune Twins writer Phil Miller joins Rand to talk about a number of subjects, including: the signing of Carlos Santana; the news that the Twins will be on Bally Sports North in 2024; and the continued ownership of the Pohlad family. 30:00: The 49ers complaining about their Super Bowl practice field brings up a Vikings memory.
