As we dive deeper into March, the sports world just gets more jam-packed.  That’s no problem for our hosts, as they bring you all the headlines from the local scene and beyond.  Larry holds down the fort this week in Downtown Minneapolis, while Eric gives his thoughts from the Wisconsin Dells.  The Vikings now know who their starting quarterback will be next season.  We hear reaction to the signing of Kirk Cousins from not just our hosts, but from Rick Spielman and Mike Zimmer as well.  The Wild and Wolves are in their own playoff pursuits.  The Twins hope to have bolstered their rotation.  The NCAA Tournament gets underway.  We also get more information of the Purple’s new headquarters when COO Kevin Warren joins the program.

Segment 1: The Vikings made the biggest splash when NFL free agency started this week.  What does the signing of quarterback Kirk Cousins mean for 2018 expectations?  And what players did the team lose when the new NFL calendar opened?

Segment 6: The NCAA basketball tournaments are right around the corner.  Which teams are favored?  GDG producer Jonathan Lowe opens up his mic to preview the big headlines.  Also, how might the ongoing FBI investigation affect the sport down the line?

Segment 5: The Timberwolves hosted Boston on Thursday.  The guys were there to see a playoff-clinching victory for the Celtics, and we were able to catch up with center Al Horford, point guard Kyrie Irving, and head coach Brad Stevens.  And are the Wolves feeling the combined effects of a rough schedule and no Jimmy Butler?

Segment 4: A favored son has returned to his MLB roots.  Our hosts discuss Ichiro Suzuki returning to Seattle.  After that, is something afoul when it comes to the lack of free agent signings in baseball?

Segment 3: We’re not throwing away any calendars, but a new year is about to start.  That means the NFL Free Agency frenzy is revving up for another run.  Where will sought-after quarterback Kirk Cousins land?  Is he the answer for the Vikings going into next season?

Segment 2: The Wild have rebounded from the recent struggles.  Are they starting to peak going into the last month of regular-season play?  Is Eric Staal the MVP of the squad?  Plus, how good of a story are the expansion Las Vegas Golden Knights?

Let’s face it.  March is a very busy sports month.  No matter if it’s Pre, Late, Post, or Offseason, most leagues have some buzz around them.  Eric and Larry are cutting through the noise to offer up the soundtrack for us to follow during this edition of the program.  The Twins are trying to fine tune their roster down in Fort Myers.  The Wild are surging toward another playoff berth.  The Vikings hope to sort out their choices at quarterback for next season.  Is there a change happening when it comes to MLB free agency?  We hear from the victors of Thursday’s tilt between the Wolves and Celtics (Boston’s Al Horford, Kyrie Irving, and Brad Stevens).  And GDG’s Jonathan Lowe breaks down the upcoming NCAA tournament.

Segment 1: There’s still Winter left, but Spring Training has nicer days on everybody’s minds.  Even though it’s only the preseason, how important is it to win these type of games?  The guys look into that question.  Then, how do they think the Twins will perform this season?  They’ll dive in.

Segment 6: So, can the current state of the Gopher men’s hoops be traced back about five years?  Off of the previous guest’s insight, Eric and Larry dive into the larger picture for the University of Minnesota.  How chaotic do they believe it is over at the athletic department.  And how deep does it effect the most well-known programs at the school?

Segment 5: As good as the women are playing, the Gopher men have looked just the opposite over the last two months.  What happened to them?  Marcus Fuller sticks around to discuss the tailspin that Richard Pitino’s squad took during the second half of the conference season.  Could this mean the coach will be leaving Dinkytown?

Segment 4: Both the men and women are playing in their respective Big Ten basketball tournaments this weekend.  First, we focus on the ladies. Minneapolis Star Tribune writer Marcus Fuller explains how Gopher women’s coach Marlene Stollings has the team on the verge of another NCAA tournament bid?  And has UConn head coach Geno Auriemma been given enough kudos for his accomplishments?
