Jim and Todd talk about the Gopher men's basketball teams collapse vs Missouri. Gopher football huge underdogs at Ohio State, Vikings injury update and Jim's latest column on Rocco Baldelli.

Jim and Todd talk about the Wolves win streak ending in Phoenix. Draymond Green suspension, was it enough? Ben Johnson begging for fans to show up tonight at Williams Arena. Gopher women's hoops off to a nice start.

Jim and Todd talk Timberwolves win and scrap with Golden State. Draymond shouldn't be in the league according to Jim due to multiple bad actions over the years.

Jim talks about his column on PJ Fleck. Wild head for Stockholm, Sweden, Jim says "stay there."

Jim and Todd talk about the Vikings win. How are they doing it with so many injuries? Jim says it's cliché but true, "culture." Timberwolves are playing how they envisioned when they traded for Rudy Gobert.

Jim talks Wolves vs Spurs tonight and the young sensation, 7-foot-4 inch Victor Wembanyama. Mike Conley was a steal for the Timberwolves. The Vikings will be cautious with Jefferson. Why are the Vikings underdogs vs the Saints?

The Timberwolves are the top rated defensive team in the NBA, Jim says he knew they'd be better, but this is something else. Wild make trades, Guerin is never afraid to do that. The Arizona Cardinals lied to Josh Dobbs about being benched and then traded, does that happen a lot in the NFL?

Jim thinks the Wild are starting to play better, but temper expectations. Twins payroll will be smaller in '24, meaning don't get your hopes up that Sonny Gray is coming back, he isn't. Bill Belichek, Jim Harbaugh thoughts. Gopher men's basketball program is a "wasteland."
