Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the large contingent of Cubs fans at Target Field, the Twins' predictable Thursday loss and a great Twins broadcast experiment. Plus the Lynx bounced back from a loss and utilized their bench in a good win Thursday. 7:00: Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins joins Rand for a deeper look at the budget implications of the Gophers paying athletes $20.5 million this season. 28:00: Joan Beringer has only played one Summer League game, and he already set a record.…

StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with another good Twins win during an impressive stretch. It would have been just their luck this season to lose Byron Buxton during Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Cubs, but luckily X-rays were negative after he was hit on the hand by a pitch. Can they keep things rolling? Plus the Lynx lost, but they have no time to dwell on it with another game today. 9:00: Star Tribune columnist La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for the Daily Delivery debate. In focus: Re-examining Twins pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson, determining Terrence Shannon Jr.'s ceiling with the Wolves and deciding what we think of Kirk Cousins. 28:00: The Gophers athletic budget has a considerable shortfall.…

StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with an appreciation for the U.S. Open Cup, a soccer tournament this year featuring 96 teams from all levels of soccer in this country.

StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with new comments from former Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins on the new season of "Quarterback." He said he might have chosen to stay in Minnesota last year if he had known the Falcons would draft a QB and admitted he played through an injury in Atlanta. He doesn't come off as well as he might think. 8:00: Rand welcomes in Twins Daily co-founder Nick Nelson for a conversation about where the Twins stand. Who are the biggest successes and disappointments? What should they do at the trade deadline? Can Matt Wallner start hitting again? 32:00: The quarter-century Timberwolves team.…

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, which included an entertaining three-game series at Target Field. The Twins won two of three from the Rays and Byron Buxton is an All-Star, though the news beyond that isn't too rosy for Minnesota. Plus the Lynx are 17-2 and could be on the verge of adding another very good player to their roster. And print deadlines aren't what they used to be, but the Wild are cooperating by not doing much of anything in free agency.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a Twins win fueled by a strange rule and large dose of luck. Bailey Ober's trip to the injured list, though, hovers over any good news. Plus a Red Panda update and the thing Kirk Cousins has done as well as any NFL player. 9:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand to debate the Wild's mild offseason, three Twins players to trade and where the Wolves stand in the West. 26:00: Are the Wolves part of the Kevin Durant trade after all?…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Lynx game Tuesday at Target Center, which was bad on multiple fronts. Not only did Minnesota lose 74-59 in the Commissioner's Cup final to a Caitlin Clark-less Indiana team, but also legendary halftime act Red Panda was injured during a performance. Plus thoughts on Nico Sturm to the Wild and another loss for the Twins. 10:00: Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins joins Rand to talk through how the Gophers are going to distribute $20.5 million to athletes, payments that can start this week. And they have some Wolves thoughts as well. 31:00: The Celtics are raiding the end of the Wolves bench and the Bucks have moved on from Damian Lillard.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with two Monday trades. The Wild obtained Vladimir Tarasenko, taking on a $4.75 million cap hit for one season after a down year for Tarasenko in Detroit. Can the Wild revive his career? The Wolves, meanwhile, received a second-round pick and future trade flexibility from the Hawks in a sign-and-trade for Nickeil Alexander-Walker. It's clear which Minnesota team was dealing from a position of strength. 11:00: Star Tribune veteran sportswriter Kent Youngblood reflects on a long career as his retirement approaches at the end of the week. He also breaks down the 14-2 Lynx heading into the Commissioner Cup final against Indiana on Tuesday. 31:00: Joe Ryan, the one Twins starter you trust, is pitching Tuesday.…

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, which started with the Twins dropping the last two games of their series in Detroit. As the Twins tread water, Reusse wants to know when they are going to have a true phenom step up. Plus the Wolves retained Naz Reid and Julius Randle but might have more up their sleeve. And the Wild finally have money to spend, but are there any players out there to get? And the Lynx keep on winning. Will they get to face Caitlin Clark on Tuesday?…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand weaves together his overscheduling error and the Twins' modest two-game winning streak and concludes that, like any good dad would, we needed the rain. 8:00: Star Tribune Wild beat writer Sarah McLellan joins Rand to break down a busy offseason. The Wild traded away Frederick Gaudreau on Thursday, a move that was both practical and symbolic. They have five picks in the draft that starts tonight, plus a lot of cap space in a tight free agent market. 34:00: The Wolves made a couple moves that made sense for the future.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the NBA draft, where the Wolves took 18-year-old French big man Joan Beringer with the 17th pick of the first round. He's a project but a defensive-minded one at that. What you think of the pick is in the eyes of the beholder. 9:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for their weekly debate segment. In focus: Are the Wild going to be able to upgrade at center? Will the new Wolves owners get the arena debate right? And can the Twins get out of their funk? 35:00: Good results for both Minnesota United and the Twins.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Twins and some novel ideas to shake them out of their funk. Plus the Lynx lost for just the second time all season, reinforcing the value of Napheesa Collier. 9:00: Star Tribune Wolves writer Chris Hine joins Rand for a breakdown of the team's ownership change. How will new owners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez run the team? Plus a look at this week's draft, free agency and any hints of other big moves ahead. 32:00: The Frost made defense a priority in the PWHL draft.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Gophers football program landing the top recruit in Minnesota for the third straight year. This time it was Roman Voss, who picked the Gophers over several premier programs, including Alabama. Plus some good news for St. Thomas and the new Timberwolves owners. 10:00: Star Tribune columnist Jim Souhan joins Rand for a conversation about the excellence of the Lynx and the free-fall of the Twins. 31:00: Derek Falvey is trying to reassure us.…
Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, which did not include any wins for the Twins. They sit at 37-40 after being swept by the Brewers, and their pitching staff is in shambles. Reusse argues that now is the time for the Twins to deal some of their best relief pitchers. Plus reaction -- more or less relief -- to news that Kevin Durant wound up in Houston instead of Minnesota. And a look ahead to NBA and NHL drafts and free agency.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Pacers' blowout win over Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Thursday. We've seen enough in this series to make some declarations about what the Timberwolves can learn from Indiana as the series heads to a Game 7. Plus the Twins ended their losing streak in a big way. 10:00: Boys basketball recruiting expert Ryan James joins Rand to break down how he compiles player rankings and share some players to watch over the summer and beyond. 30:00: Streaming overtakes cable and satellite.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a curiosity about why analytics projections have the Vikings as a middle-of-the-pack team in the NFL this season. Plus another Twins loss has them below .500. 12:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for their weekly debate segment. In focus: Chris Finch and the NBA Finals, Twins as buyers or sellers and Florida supplanting Minnesota (OK not really) as the State of Hockey. 37:00: Jaire Alexander is signing with the Ravens for a small amount of money and the Lakers are getting sold for a large amount of money.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with another close loss for the Twins, this time 6-5 at the Reds. They have lost their last seven one-run games in falling to .500, and many culprits have surfaced. Plus the Lynx defeated the Aces but will have to watch Napheesa Collier's back injury. 8:00: Jon Marthaler joins Rand for a look at Minnesota United at roughly the halfway point of the MLS season. Where do the Loons stand? 28:00: Chris Finch isn't watching the NBA Finals, and Florida is once again the state of hockey.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Host Michael Rand starts with a big stretch of games for the Twins, who have fallen to 36-35 after a recent 2-8 stretch. Can they turn their luck (and play) against several teams similar to them? 5:00: Star Tribune Timberwolves writer Chris Hine joins Rand for a look at the Wolves' big offseason questions. To trade or not to trade? Which free agents can they keep? And who will they take in the draft? 28:00: The Thunder are one win away and the Lynx have a big opportunity.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, one that took on a somber tone as athletes and teams around town grappled with the shooting of two Minnesota state legislators and their spouses. In the sports realm, Reusse and Rand talked about the legacy of Seimone Augustus, the free-fall of the Twins and how the Wolves (thankfully) are on the outside looking in at the Kevin Durant sweepstakes. Plus a memorable U.S. Open finish and a rant about those who back into parking spaces.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with Byron Buxton's amazing third inning, during which he robbed Texas of a run-scoring extra-base hit in the top half and then clobbered a three-run, 479-foot homer in the bottom half. It changed the trajectory of the game, for sure, and perhaps this part of the Twins' season. Plus some roster moves add up to goodbye, Jorge Alcala. 9:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for their weekly debate segment. In focus: Chris Finch, the Twins' pitching injuries and the Vikings' commitment to running the ball. 29:00: The Pacers won, the Lynx lost and Paige Bueckers shined.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the comical, nonsensical and now personal Knicks coaching search, which reportedly included an attempt by New York to talk to current Wolves coach Chris Finch. Minnesota of course turned them down. Rand also gets to the 16-4 Twins loss, which didn't inspire faith in Simeon Woods Richardson. 12:00: Minnesota Star Tribune college football writer Randy Johnson joins Rand to discuss the impact of the house settlement on the Gophers. Plus recruiting news from P.J. Fleck's team. 31:00: Josh Oliver's extension is another signal the Vikings are prioritizing the run game.…

1 Jaire Alexander, Darius Garland and the allure of a quick fix; Bobby Nightengale on the Twins 33:36
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with two players who have been on his mind lately. Darius Garland of the Cavaliers and Jaire Alexander recently of the Packers are names to consider as upgrades for Minnesota teams. How will they be viewed by local decisionmakers who seem to have much more patience than their predecessors? 12:00: Bobby Nightengale joins Rand to break down the state of the Twins. How will they survive without Pablo Lopez and Zebby Matthews? And what's new with the sale of the team? 32:00: Simeon Woods-Richardson and David Festa will get chances the next two nights to give the Twins a boost.…
Introduction: Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports. They start with the Twins, who are dealing with not one but two injuries now to their starting rotation with Pablo Lopez and Zebby Matthews. Can they remain competitive? Plus a look at the 9-0 Lynx, the NBA Finals, a tennis match for the ages and ... World War I?…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Host Michael Rand starts with Aaron Rodgers reportedly agreeing to sign with the Steelers, a development that came mere hours after Rand became convinced during a lunchtime run that Rodgers coming to Minnesota was a coin flip proposition. Plus the Pacers pulled off another improbable rally in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, stunning the Thunder in a way the Wolves could not. 10:00: Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins joins Rand for a look at the Wolves' ideal offseason in addition to what expectations should be for the Vikings and where we stand with the College Football Playoff. 41:00: A long, strange road trip ended with a football loss for the Twins.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with questions about Sam Darnold's job status already surfacing in Seattle. Are they fair, and would we be hearing them if he had a different name? Plus a wild Wolves rumor from Paul Pierce. 10:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for their Daily Delivery Debate segment, talking about Chris Finch, Pablo Lopez and the Lynx. 26:00: Roger Maris for the Hall of Fame?…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: On a jam-packed episode, host Michael Rand starts with the life of Vikings great Jim Marshall, who died Tuesday at age 87. So many signs point to him being a Hall of Famer. He never made it, but that doesn't diminish his career. Plus a very newsy Twins game and the Lynx are 8-0 for the fourth time in their history. 10:00: Star Tribune Wolves writer Chris Hine joins Rand for a discussion of his new "Ant" book and to break down key facets of the team's offseason. Is Darius Garland a name to watch? 34:00: Thibs is gone.…

McCarthy is looking. 31:00: Justin Jefferson's presence and the Lynx putting their undefeated record on the line.…

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, which included three dramatic Twins games (but only one win) in Seattle. Along the way, Royce Lewis continued to struggle. Does he need to be sent back to the minors? Plus they get into the Wolves offseason and Chris Finch's curious quote about needing to expand the playing rotation. And the Lynx are undefeated while the Loons finally won in Seattle.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wolves exit interviews and some interesting comments from Mike Conley Jr. about the future. Plus the Knicks showed up in Game 5 but the Stars did not. 10:00: Phil Miller joins Rand for a Twins sale update. 30:00: Royce Lewis is beyond slumping. He's despondent.…
S
StribSports Daily Delivery

Host Michael Rand starts with extra thoughts on the Timberwolves. They were blown out in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals for the second straight season. That disappointing finish comes in contrast to their best two-year run in franchise history. What will the offseason bring? 13:00: Star Tribune columnist La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand to talk about an update on the Twins sale, J.J. McCarthy mania and giving the Frost their frozen flowers. 30:00: Twins and Loons scoreless, but one happier than the other.…

Host Michael Rand starts with intrigue about NFL quarterbacks. We should get our first look in a while at J.J. McCarthy this week. Kirk Cousins was a no-show at OTAs in Atlanta. And Terry Bradshaw ripped the still available Aaron Rodgers. Plus another good Twins win and a dominant 5-0 start for the Lynx. 10:00: Star Tribune writer and Wolves fan Jeff Day joins Rand to set up Game 5 in Oklahoma City. Day has far more optimism than most that there will be a Game 6 at Target Center. 39:00: Can Ant have his Halliburton game?…

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the long weekend in sports. Monday's Game 4 Wolves loss to Oklahoma City was of course fresh and front-brain, with Reusse saying even though Minnesota lost just 128-126 he never thought the Wolves were going to win. The Thunder can end the series Wednesday in Oklahoma City. Plus thoughts on the Twins and a championship for the Frost.…

Host Michael Rand starts with the Wolves' 118-103 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 2 Thursday, one which confirmed the Thunder are the better team but also showed Minnesota is not playing its best basketball. Several players are struggling, the intensity has been too sporadic and coach Chris Finch pushed the wrong buttons Thursday. Plus a dramatic overtime win by the Minnesota Frost to even their PWHL championship series. 9:00: Vikings writer Emily Leiker joins Rand to break down the news from the owners' meetings and to set up Vikings OTAs next week. We should get our first real looks at J.J. McCarthy in a long time. 27:00: A big series awaits for the Twins.…

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with Indiana's shocking comeback against the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. Down 14 with less than three minutes to play, the Pacers rallied to force overtime and win. The Wolves had a similar comeback in the regular season against Oklahoma City and must carry that same resilience into Thursday's Game 2. Plus the Twins and Lynx managed to avoid bad losses and pull out important wins on Wednesday. 11:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for the Daily Delivery Debate on the Wolves and the "Tush Push". 29:00: A Loons win and a Frost opportunity.…

StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with some lingering thoughts from the Wolves' blowout 114-88 loss to the Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. In some ways it was a make-or-miss game, with the Wolves missing a lot of open shots. In other ways, it came down to composure. Minnesota will need to be better in both capacities on Thursday. 9:00: Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins joins Rand to talk about Paige Bueckers, the former Hopkins standout who will return to Minnesota for her third WNBA game on Wednesday. 26:00: An OT loss for the Frost and another wet day for the Twins.…

StribSports Daily Delivery

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Twins' pitching staff, which has been tremendous this season but could be stretched thin over the next couple of days as rain wreaks havoc on the team's schedule. Plus a look at the tush push, which could be on the way out of the NFL. 9:00: Star Tribune Timberwolves writer Chris Hine joins Rand to break down the Wolves vs. Thunder. Game 1 is tonight in Oklahoma City. 25:00: Athlete rankings, Paige Bueckers comes home and the Minnesota Frost go for another championship.…

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports. They start with Oklahoma City's decisive Game 7 win Sunday over Denver, which set up the Western Conference finals against the Wolves. Minnesota will have its hands full with the Thunder's depth, but an elusive championship is just eight wins away. The Twins' 13-game winning streak ended Sunday, but their season has been altered. Now they must weather the storm of injuries. Plus a strong start by the Lynx and a gamut of amateur baseball for Reusse.…

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Timberwolves' getting the best outcome again as Denver pushed Oklahoma City to a Game 7 in their conference semifinal series. The Wolves will have ample time to rest and wonder: Who would they rather play? 7:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for their weekly debate segment. In focus: Ranking the Wolves' top eight players in terms of importance to the team; red-hot Twins; and a Vikings vs. Bears early prediction. 30:00: Twins win but a scary collision between Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa could be trouble.…

On another jam-packed episode, host Michael Rand starts with the Wolves and the accomplishment of returning to the final four of their league -- something no other Minnesota major men's pro sports team has done in roughly a half-century. Plus the Frost advanced, too, and the Twins won their 10th in a row. What a night in Minnesota sports. 13:00: Kent Youngblood joins Rand to preview the Lynx season, which begins Friday in Dallas. They, too, will be trying to get back to where they were a year ago. 27:00: The Loons lost and the Vikings have a bunch of interesting games this season.…

They are heavy favorites at Target Center, but now is not the time for complacency as the rest of the NBA playoffs have shown. 9:00: Jerry Zgoda from the Star Tribune joins Rand to help break down the other closeout game. The Frost have a 2-1 lead on Toronto in the PWHL playoffs and can win the series Wednesday at Xcel Energy Center. 19:00: Why do the Rockies draw good crowds even though they are bad?…

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Timberwolves after their Game 4 win over Golden State gave them a commanding 3-1 series lead in the Western Conference semifinals. It looked like the kind of game Anthony Edwards was going to need to dominate, and he did so in the third quarter.

They have won eight games in a row and are above .500 after a wretched 7-15 start. The Wolves grinded out a 102-97 win over Golden State in Game 3 of their playoff series on Saturday. Wolves fans complained that it was ugly, but no playoff victory should get that description. Game 4 is Monday night. Plus a Loons win over Messi's Miami squad and another Frost playoff win as well.…

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wolves' 117-93 win over Golden State in Game 2 on Thursday. They could afford to cruise a little in that win because of Steph Curry's absence. They will need more gas in Games 3 and 4 in Golden State if they want to lock down a series in which they are the decided favorites. Plus the Twins won their fifth in a row, with Byron Buxton continuing to play at an elite level. 9:00: Jon Marthaler joins Rand to talk Minnesota United soccer. The Loons are slated to play Inter Miami on Saturday at Allianz Field. Will Lionel Messi be in Miami's lineup? 25:00: Ben Goessling reports that the Vikings are "likely" to play back-to-back international games this year in Dublin and London.…

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, which included Golden State's win over Houston on Sunday that set up the Western Conference semifinals against the Wolves. Between Jimmy Butler, Steph Curry and Draymond Green, there are a ton of storylines to devour as the series gets set to begin at Target Center on Tuesday.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the NFL Draft and the first round Thursday in Green Bay. The Vikings are on the clock at No. 24 with a range of options. The best one is probably to trade down and accumulate more picks to bolster depth they don't have now and will need in the future. 8:00: Star Tribune columnist La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for their Daily Delivery debate. The big question: Who do you have more faith in to win their first round playoff series, the Wolves or Wild?

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Twins, who lost again and now sit at 5-12. Three things stand out: Their pitchers have committed six errors this season, twice as many as any other staff in the majors; the smallest announced crowd in non-Covid Target Field history watched Monday's game; and the Twins are tied for their worst start in franchise history.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Timberwolves' big 141-125 win over Memphis on Thursday, which included a huge third quarter and a better finish than Tuesday's meltdown against Milwaukee. Mike Conley was the steadying force as the Wolves assured themselves of no worse than the No. 6 seed (and likely better) if they win their last two games. The Twins, on the other hand, dropped to 4-9. That's the same pace as their 12-27 collapse at the end of last year. 10:00: Ben Goessling joins Rand to share Vikings insights gleaned from last week's Florida meetings. The two biggest questions at this point: What will they do in the draft? And where will they land with a second quarterback? 35:00: One possible backup QB for the Vikings is off the board.…

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the epic meltdown by the Timberwolves, who lost a 24-point fourth quarter lead in a loss to Milwaukee.

Plus the Twins lost a game with shoddy defense right around the time the Wolves were falling apart. They are 3-8 on the season. 9:00: Sarah McLellan joins Rand for a look at the Wild, who have four games left to try to hang onto their playoff spot.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse and host Michael Rand look at the weekend in sports, starting with the Twins. They were three outs away from mostly erasing the bad vibes from their 0-4 start, but a late Astros rally thwarted those vibes and put the Twins at 3-6. The pitching hasn't been nearly as good as advertised so far, and the defense is worrisome. On a happier note, the Wild got a huge two points over Dallas, local superstar Paige Bueckers won an NCAA title and the Wolves found some more company in the crowded Western Conference playoff race.…

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with two dramatic wins on Tuesday. The Wolves fended off Denver and some of their own mistakes to prevail 140-139 in double overtime.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports. They started with the Twins, who had about as bad an opening series as possible in getting swept by the Cardinals. The starting pitching was largely bad. The offense was nonexistent. And the defense was suspect. We shouldn't overreact, Reusse says, but we also shouldn't underreact. Plus a discussion of the new "torpedo" bats that are helping the Yankees hit homers, the Wolves brawling (and winning) against Detroit and a young defenseman who should give the Wild a lift in a couple weeks.…

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Gophers men's hockey team, which neither made its own luck nor received any good fortune in the third period and overtime of a 5-4 NCAA tournament loss to UMass that ended their season Thursday. Was their passive approach or officiating to blame? Two things can be true at the same. Rand also dives into the Twins' opener and their brave new world of television, which included some good and bad from their 5-3 loss. 13:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for their weekly debate segment. In focus this week: Niko Medved, Twins predictions and the Wild's playoff push. 35:00: A great win for the Wild and a good win for Gophers women's basketball.…
