  • Reusse is done

    Patrick Reusse’s sardonic whining may be attractive to certain a certain demographic of angry 70 year old white men, but it annoying to everyone else. As soon as I see he a guest on a Podcast to gets immediately deleted. There is a nice fishing boat on a crystal clear lake waiting for him as he releases form past glories and moves on with his life.

  • Unchain Reusse - From this Pod Chain

    Patrick did nothing wrong. Brass monkey may be the beasties worst song. He was right on the money, but this is an opportunity to make something great closer to perfection. Send Reusse packing. This is your best chance to separate him from your collection of podcasts. Do it now. You’ll thank yourselves later.

  • Love The Show

    Love the show and all that Mackey and Judd bring to Minnesota sports. I’m just a Vikings fan from Michigan, so I come here just get a little extra Vikings content. But for the life of me, I cannot stand Reusse. His voice and opinions are distasteful sometimes. I am so sorry lol.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dear Minnesota Twins, please copy Milwaukee Brewers
Q: I'm not optimistic, are you?
Mackey sees promise in the Timberwolves' ball-handling options, while raising concerns about health, rebounding and the team's size in a competitive Western Conference.
Dear Minnesota Twins, please copy Milwaukee Brewers
Q: Is there anything discernibly copycat-able if you're the twins sitting in a bunch of boardrooms?
Reusse says the Twins need to identify and trust the right young players, but he doubts Milwaukee's success can be copied through a simple formula.
Minnesota Gophers didn't lose yesterday! College football playoff team in 2027?
Q: Are the Gophers a good team that play down to their opponents or a bad team that play up to their opponents?
Ross calls Minnesota a middle-of-the-road team whose performance varies from week to week. Manny says the team is inconsistent and that the Purdue blowout was a failure to compete, so the hosts expect the remaining games to clarify the team's level.
Anthony Edwards puts the league on notice! Feedback Friday, latest Wolves news
Q: What do you think is the biggest roadblock this season to the Timberwolves getting over the Western Conference finals hump?
The hosts point to Victor Wembanyama and San Antonio as a major obstacle, alongside Minnesota's ability to keep key players healthy, improve rebounding, integrate Jonathan Kuminga, and give the new lineup time to gel.
Anthony Edwards puts the league on notice! Feedback Friday, latest Wolves news
Q: Curious how Ant and Ball stack up against other top duo scorers. Are they better than Luka and Reaves, Mackey and Jalen Brown, SGA and Jalen Williams, Jamal Murray and Jokic, Brunson and Kat?
The hosts say the comparison is difficult before Edwards and Ball have played together over time. They see potential in how the two could complement each other, while noting other duos have established track records and that health, playmaking, and fit matter.
