The Chairman Patrick Reusse from the Star Tribune opens the show with tales of his holiday from the nation’s capitol. They discuss Patrick’s annual Turkey of the Year award winners which include Coach Cheryl Reeve (Minnesota Lynx) and Coach Kevin O’Connell (Minnesota Vikings) and the man/the myth/the number… JJ McCarthy.

In their second segment, Chad and Patrick talk about the magnitude of a turn around it would be for JJ McCarthy to go where he is now to serviceable dare we say “star level”. Patrick chats about his upcoming knee replacement and how interesting it is covering a bad team (it's as good as it is when they’re winning).
