  • Great podcast, but….

    I won’t be paying double($40/month) to watch the Wild on Amazon plus to have to pay $20/month for Prime Video. It’s a complete rip off for a team that hasn’t ever won a Stanley Cup. The Minnesota Wild are pricing out most people, so good luck with growing your fan base. Bill Guerin is such a douche.

  • Everything Minnesota Sports is Here

    Great show. Covers the gamut. Good guests. Michael, one pet peeve: please learn to stop repeating yourself. You don’t need to say the exact sentence or phrase immediately after you just say it. You’d never write a column that way; please don’t do a pod cast that way.

  • Good host, guests hit and miss

    Michael Rand is consistently good, but some of his Strib guests are far better at writing than they are at speaking. I would put Pat Reusse and Cassidy Hettesheimer in that category.

  • Best MN sports show

    I absolutely love this podcast. Have listened religiously for about 3 years. I’m an ex pat but grew up on all the MN teams and Randball helps keep me up to date. Reusse Mondays are the best!

Talking Points

Quinn Hughes and OTHER Wild storylines; a troubling Aaron Jones injury report
Q: Sarah, with the contract situation hanging over the preseason, how do you gauge the impact on the team's preparation and the player's focus as camp progresses?
The discussion with Sarah suggested that while the contract situation is a talking point, there's a professional, business-like approach within the locker room, and players seem to stay focused on preparation and performance rather than letting the negotiations derail their routines.
The Lynx have big problems, but also the No. 1 seed; J.J. McCarthy trade idea?
Q: Do you think Olivia Miles will be ready for the start of the playoffs, given the calf injury?
Cassidy suggests the injury appears to be an abundance-of-caution measure and that there is cautious optimism she could be ready, but it depends on evolving assessments closer to playoff start.
The Lynx have big problems, but also the No. 1 seed; J.J. McCarthy trade idea?
Q: What are the takeaways from everything you saw Tuesday night in Indiana, Cassidy?

Q: How would you describe the balance between risk and reward when pursuing big moves like LaMelo Ball or Jonathan Kuminga?
He emphasized that moves are big swings based on extensive research, long conversations, and a belief in elevated upside, even if it means adjustments along the way, drawing parallels to prior conference finals runs and trusted coaching staff.
Inside the Wolves' pursuit of LaMelo Ball; Quinn Hughes has nowhere to hide
Q: What does the day-to-day look like on a game day or an off day in-season for you and your role?
