August 25, 2024 · Phil Miller · 1 Peter 4:10-11

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a Vikings question that has been on his mind for months. There are numerous similarities between Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, including their draft year (2018) and career trajectories.

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: Host Michael Rand sets up the second-round playoff series between the Wolves and Nuggets through the eyes (and quotes) of Karl-Anthony Towns. It's been a nine-year journey for KAT to get to the second round, and it's a lesson in continuity. 11:00: Star Tribune Twins writer Phil Miller joins Rand to discuss three compelling story lines. The Twins have won 10 games in a row, and the competition will get tougher with Boston coming to town on what should be a beautiful night at Target Field Friday. We should get an update on Byron Buxton's injury Friday as well. But the TV issue between Comcast and Bally Sports, which has left a lot of Twins fans without access to games, is looming over it all. 34:00: The Wolves ownership dispute heads to arbitration, while the Lynx and PWHL Minnesota have key games Saturday.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wild, whose playoff hopes were almost completely dashed with a 5-2 loss to Colorado on Thursday. It's been a middling year for the franchise. Can it get any better next season, the final year of salary cap jail? 6:00: Friday is a huge night for women's college basketball with the national semifinals. Plus an interesting WNBA mock draft says Angel Reese will wind up on the Lynx. 11:00: Star Tribune Twins writer Phil Miller joins Rand for a look at the Twins.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a couple of interesting Day 1 story lines from the NCAA men's basketball tournament as he tries to get himself into college hoops again. Don't show anything other than the Gonzaga game is one key takeaway. 9:00: Star Tribune Twins beat writer Phil Miller joins the show to talk about the team's recent rash of injuries and how they will test Minnesota's pitching depth. Will the Twins be in the market at some point for another proven starter? 30:00: What would it take for the Vikings to move up to various spots at the top of the draft?

Introduction: Host Michael Rand retraces the last couple years of Kirk Cousins with the Vikings, all the way to comments from head coach Kevin O'Connell and GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah at Tuesday's NFL Scouting Combine. The Vikings are saying they want Cousins back, which probably means a multi-year deal with guaranteed money. But if that was true, they also could have signed him a year ago. What changed between then and now? Also, the Vikings just hired a coach who once broke their heart. 10:00: Star Tribune Twins beat writer Phil Miller joins Rand from Florida right after watching Byron Buxton play center field for the first time in 554 days. Buxton's health is always dicey, but he's as happy and healthy as he's been in a long time, Miller reports. Plus other nuggets from Fort Myers. 28:00: The Wolves keep winning and the Wild take a step back.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand thinks we need to refocus if we're thinking about the Vikings taking a quarterback in the draft. Move your eyes away from the first round and toward their No. 42 overall pick in the second round. 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. Also, should Creed get the blame for the Vikings' nosedive this year?

Welcome to Live From Progzilla Towers Edition 506. In this edition we heard music by Simple Minds, Alas, Giraffe, Mesaverde, Gleb Kolyadin, Arzachel/Uriel, Space Shepherds, Hands Of The Heron, Led Zeppelin, Neon Fields, Oaksenham, Yes, Trevor Rabin, No-Man, Phil Miller's In Cahoots, Glass Hammer, Squintaloo, Toy Dolls, Scott Walker & Sting.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand listens back on Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's season-ending news conference and receives confirmation of the crux of this offseason. The Vikings like Kirk Cousins, and Cousins likes the Vikings. But whether there is a contract that suits both sides is another question -- one that from Rand's perspective leads to the answer of "no." 9:00: Star Tribune Twins beat writer Phil Miller joins Rand to talk through a quiet Twins offseason. But Miller reminds us that this is the time of year the Twins tend to start making their moves. In 2023, for instance, a loud January brought the Carlos Correa signing and the Luis Arraez/Pablo Lopez trade. Plus Miller and Rand get into Twins TV discussions and Joe Mauer's firm Hall of Fame standing. 36:00: Rand can't believe what he just read about Florida State and NIL.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand notes that the Wolves carried a lot of national love into the second game of a back-to-back against Phoenix on Wednesday. And a blowout loss to the Suns, 133-115, is not cause for alarm. This is what happens even to good teams that are tired from the fallout after an emotional win over the Warriors that cost Draymond Green a five-game suspension. 8:00: Star Tribune Twins writer Phil Miller joins Rand for the latest on Diamond Sports bankruptcy proceedings and how they impact the Twins, Wolves and Wild. Plus Miller's thoughts on payroll and how the Twins will have less margin for error in 2024 with their decisions, in part because they figure to have less local TV revenue. 30:00: A good showing by the Gophers women's basketball team and an opportunity for the men.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand dives right into a preview of the American League Division Series between the Twins and Astros. He and Star Tribune beat writer Phil Miller speculate on the Game 1 pitching matchup and what the Twins need to do to advance even deeper in the playoffs. 20:00: Get to know new Vikings running back Cam Akers, who gave the backfield immediate help in Sunday's win. 25:00: Minnesota United is sputtering to the finish line, and changes seem inevitable.

Introduction: There are a lot of ways to beat the 2023 Vikings, as we have seen already in just two games, but the best way for now might be to let them beat themselves. Seven turnovers, including six lost fumbles -- four of them in Thursday's not-that-close 34-28 loss to the Eagles -- have doomed them in an 0-2 start. Beyond turnovers, though, there are plenty of other deficiencies. Most notably, a huge talent and execution gap on the offensive and defensive lines that was once again exposed in Philadelphia. 11:00: Star Tribune Twins beat writer Phil Miller joins Rand for a look at some big decisions looming in the final two weeks of the regular season. The Twins lead the AL Central by eight games with 15 to play and should be able to cruise to the finish line. That will give them an extended look at different players in different roles as they try to find their best 26 for October. 35:00: Will the Twins take some heat off the Vikings?

Introduction: If you watched the 2022 Vikings season -- or the recent Netflix documentary "Quarterback" -- you saw Kirk Cousins repeatedly getting hit. Much of the pressure came from a weak interior of the Vikings offensive line, something the team might be looking to correct after hosting free agent guard Dalton Risner this week. 6:00: Star Tribune Twins writer Phil Miller joins host Michael Rand after an uneventful but newsworthy trade deadline came and passed Tuesday. The Twins did virtually nothing this season, even though they sit in first place, and one can't help but wonder if it will cost them down the road. Miller will explain their rationale and add context to some concerning injuries. 33:00: Anthony Edwards is trying something new.
