This is the second and final part of my conversation with the great storyteller Patrick Reusse, who looks back with humor and irreverence at his 60 years covering Minnesota sports. He takes us on journeys to small towns throughout his home state, recalls the world champion Twins managed by Tom Kelly, and puts us there when Roger Staubach's Hail Mary Pass caused a whiskey bottle to fly. The longtime sports columnist for the Minneapolis Star Tribune and a member of the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame also recounts the heat and humor in an epic rant by Vikings coach Jerry Burns. And Pat talks about contrition and lessons learned in his coming around to appreciate women's athletics. Reusse, 77, is senior columnist for the Star Tribune and is also the host of two popular podcasts: "Reusse Unchained" and "Monday Night Sports Talk with Patrick Reusse and Joe Soucheray."

Two years later, he began writing for the Duluth News-Tribune and Herald, then quickly moved to the St. Cloud Times.

He moved to the Star Tribune in 1988 as sports columnist. The native of Fulda, Minnesota also became a fixture in Twin Cities talk radio and television. He was inducted into the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame in 2019. Patrick has done radio and podcast work with KSTP-1500 since 1980, when he partnered with Soucheray on “Sunday Night Sports Talk.” They shared the airwaves together or independently on “Sports Talk” in various forms nearly every year since. Patrick also hosted “Reusse & Company” for that station (2009-10) and co-hosted “Reusse & Mackey” with Phil Mackey from 2010-14. His show “The Ride with Reusse” appeared weekdays from 2014 until September 2018. Reusse began his radio career at KFAM-AM in St. Cloud in the mid-1960s, Reusse was also a 20-year panelist on “The Sports Show,” which aired on WUCW-TV, Fox Sports North, and Victory Sports One.

This is part 1 of a rollicking two-part conversation with Patrick Reusse, longtime sports columnist for the Minneapolis Star Tribune and a member of the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame. Reusse looks back at his 60 years covering Minnesota sports in his engaging, irreverent, and self-deprecating style. In this first episode, he recalls Glen Sonmor's hockey goons, offers his classic explanation to Vikings general manager Mike Lynn about his philosophy for covering the team, and tells us how the idea for his Turkey of the Year Awards column originated and grew into a much-anticipated Thanksgiving tradition. Patrick provides some humorous tales, as well as a poignant moment with Gene Mauch, from his years as a baseball beat writer covering the Twins. Reusse also goes deep into his complicated relationship with Sid Hartman, another Minnesota media legend who was still working at age 100 when he died in 2020.   Reusse, 77, is senior columnist for the Star Tribune and is also the host of two popular podcasts: "Reusse Unchained" and "Monday Night Sports Talk with Patrick Reusse and Joe Soucheray."

Monday Morning with Mike & Max

I've witnessed women tear each other apart emotionally in the name of “self-expression”. Self-expression is a characteristic of “self-love” and I want everyone to experience it. For most people, they've suppressed it for so long, that when it finally comes out it is jarring for everyone around them. The pendulum swings and they could give 2 shits about how you feel about it. Self expression usually follows the deep realization that everyone is responsible for their own experience. And in that realization the person suppressing knows that they're the one who is actually responsible for their life. … and everyone else is responsible for theirs. So in the vein of this partial reality, expression is unleashed on the world around them. They no longer are playing the “character” that everyone has been conditioned to know. In turn, their reality is challenged and their triggers surface. The result? Hurt feelings, disagreement, and conflict.  It usually takes awhile for the newly self expressed to learn how to do it gracefully. And in truth, to learn how to authentically express their heart… and not their wounds. That's the key. In the beginning of perceived self expression, the person expressing themselves isn't actually their SELF. It's a wound. It's BS. This is why when I'm helping someone through this phase that we are becoming objective enough to see if it's the heart or a wound.  Knowing this nuance will save everyone a lot of pain and suffering. The road to self expression doesn't need to be littered with the hurt feelings. It can be done from a place of love. It can be done gracefully. This is a mark of a good leader. Yes, authentic wounded-expression will likely get you a lot of attention, but it won't be the attention you want in the long run. We want to get attention through love. Can you respect yourself by allowing self-expression while also respecting others? We get into the nuances of this concept on today's show of Monday Morning with Mike & Max.

One of my mentors once told me “powerful leaders hold paradox”. As many paradoxical statements can land, I wasn't quite sure what he was talking about. I had to go look up the word. Needed the definition first. So in case you are like I was I'll save you a google search. From Merriam-Webster : one (such as a person, situation, or action) having seemingly contradictory qualities or phases So what does it mean to hold the damn thing? To be able to hold two seemingly contradictory qualities at the same time? Took me years before it landed and ever since then it's landed more and more. The mind likes to think only one way. Thinking there can only be this or that. What about this AND that? So what happens when you take seemingly contradictory philosophical concepts that were each developed in isolation (mostly) and then introduce them to each other? That's what we get when we look at the history of western philosophy vs eastern philosophy. Most people see these two sets of philosophies in contradiction to one another.  The east holds the truth of everything existing as a circle. The 4 seasons, each year returning. The revolution of time & space, always returning back to where we started. The west holds the truth of progress. The beginning and the end. Alpha and Omega. The truth that the universe is evolving in a way that never repeats itself. Two seemingly contradictory philosophies. Both of which most people could not hold simultaneously… but for those who can, the world is your oyster. Checkout today's Monday Mornings with Mike & Max podcast. We'll do our best to tickle your brain.  

Do you ever find yourself in a relationship where the other person starts acting like you owe them something? I know I have. And it doesn't feel very good. It usually starts with one party doing all sorts of things for the person without asking. It's all very nice until one day BAM! There's an unmet expectation that was never communicated. This is usually followed by the “you nevers”, “you always”, and “why can't yous”. Before you know it, you've been caught in relationship debt. Is it real? Not for you. But for the other person, you've got a bill to pay. Join Max and I as we explore this topic on today's Monday Morning with Mike & Max. Oh yeah, we also go off on our experience of people in relationship to Covid over the last 3 years.

Men and women are created equal… But not in all things.  Well at least in the way it's practiced. I'm afraid people have confused equality with being “identical”. And I can only imagine how boring that world would be. Instead of seeking fairness I think we can do a better job of honoring and celebrating our differences. To do otherwise is to reject nature, other, or God. However you want to see it. So instead of focusing on what someone else has that you wish you did. Instead of seeking fairness in whatever single area you want to focus on. And zoom out. Allow yourself to see the entirety of YOUR being. See the entirety of THEIR being. Just because another may make more money, you wouldn't want the rest of their life. Your riches are greater than that.  Want the secret to having a perspective that is not only more helpful for the mind to hold, but is actually more close to the TRUTH? Move the mind from an illusory place of “what isn't” to a space of reality where we're focused on “what is”. That is. Illusion is “what is not”, while REALITY is “what is”. Sounds simple, but if you go about the world while practicing awareness you may notice that your mind gravitates to the illusion… most of the time. This is a great recipe for suffering. And I'm not about that suffering. That shit is optional. Doesn't mean it's easy, but it's right there in any moment that you want it. Ok, enough of the sermon. This is one of many topics Max and I dissect on today's Monday Morning podcast with Mike & Max.
