Jim gives his take on the US Ryder Cup team. He thinks Keegan Bradley made the right call not being a playing captain. He is not a fan of Patrick Cantlay being on the team he would have preferred Brian Harman instead. The Twins are not a good franchise right now and he isn't sure when they will be better.

Jim and Todd talk Vikings. New 1st Round draft pick Donovan Jackson could be really good. Jim liked Drake Lindsey's first start and he looked better than Arch Manning for Texas vs Ohio State. 

The Voice of the Golden Gophers Mike Grimm sits in for Jim and talks about the Gophers football season opening win over Buffalo.

Jim and Todd talk about Adam Thielen's return to the Vikings. Does this say something bigger about how the Vikings view their potential for the season. Just like the Vikings, the Gophers season revolves around a young QB.

Jim and Todd talk about the Vikings changing back-up QB's, he thinks they got it wrong. Two columns by Jim over the weekend, he talks about those. The Lynx get Phee Collier back and she looks like she didn't miss a game.

Tonight's preseason game for the Vikings in Nashville does have meaning for some players, like the QB's vying for the back-up job to JJ McCarthy. The Lynx need Napheesa Collier back in the lineup.

Jim and Todd talk Vikings football.

Jim and Todd talk twins. Joe Ryan had a poor outing, could he be suffering from a trade deadline hangover? Jim doesn't think so. Jim also not convinced this group of infielders are very good defensively, but the Twins think bats first.

Jim talks about his column on Gophers star Koi Perich. He's the best Gopher Jim has seen in 35 years covering the team. His two-way potential. Jefferson practicing with the Vikings. Jim doesn't think there's any way JJ McCarthy plays on Friday, but there is some intrigue to the game. Joe Ryan will still finish in the Top 3-4 in Cy Young voting.

Jim updates Todd on the last couple of weeks in Minnesota sports starting wit the Pohlads keeping the Twins. What does that mean going forward. The Vikings are ready but they may not have their backup QB on the roster right now. The Lynx have fire when playing New York for good reason.
