The Sportive

The Sports Knowers Jon and Brox cover: A-Rod vs Glen, is MLB dead or merely dying, cool new baseball rules that everyone will love, a 4 Nations recap, Gopher basketball eternal shrug emoji and more. Then the internet nearly gave out on us, just like old times. Good stuff.

Stu, Brox, Marth and a few minutes of Chicken achieve a rare Sportive Consensus(TM) on our opinion about next year's plan for the Vikings QB, then we rank the remaining playoffs teams before a reluctant transition to the Wolves. A phenomenal Top 6 and 1-minute timed overviews of the Wild and Loons round us out. It's so good to be back.

Jon and B knock out a quick check-in on the Wolves, Vikings, Gopher football, the Loons and our children. Tune in and win.

Vikings panic meter, a harrowing admission about the Yankees, a top 6 that left Jon on cloud 9, and then we did our famous whip-around segment. Plus a beer review segment that everyone knew and understood. Instant classic episode, some are saying.

This week we:Gave up on the Twins againFound out Stu is allowed in the Four SeasonsPreviewed Vikings-TexansUnveiled a Johnny Unitas ranking that everyone loved and understoodPreviewed the Gopher-Iowa game that we won’t watchLearned that Esko and Elko are two different cities that aren’t even close to each otherDescribed the War on Drugs music to Chicken who didn’t ask and didn’t want to knowJon was missed. Turns out he’s the one who watches sports. Hurry back, Jon.

Summer sabbatical OVER. Chat mode ENGAGED. On the docket: the Vikings, adopting a temporary NFL team (horse sound), losing our cool over the loser Twins, shrug emoji about the Gophers and then some youth sports talk to bring us home. Plus a classic Jon post-furious rant. We are so back. 

Us OG Wolves guys chest-bump about our squad, piss & moan about Jamal Murray being a baby, and welcome the bandwagon fans with open arms like the mensches we are and have always been. Then first thoughts about the JJ McCarthy pick, and later a quick chat on traveling baseball coaches. Jon dropped off at one point, Stu briefly forgot how to construct a sentence, and we yet again had technical difficulties. We are back.

Stu and Jon return, even though nothing has happened in Minnesota sports. Discussed:Glen Taylor finally shows us what KG's seen all alongWhat disease will the Wolves get before the playoffsThe Twins refuse to changeThe Vikings should pick as many players as they canSuper Bowl 27You know! All the big topics!

We turned in our Super Famous Annual High School Hockey Preview right at deadline. Come for the matchups, stay for the facts. We never said they were fun. Mentioned: Bock Fest, arson, Jesse James, white flight, Egypt, CEO payouts, Edina notable residents, and what the word Mahtomedhi means in Dakota. We are all shocked to our core but choosing to believe it. Also another Top 6 and the return of our old friend audio problems near the end. We are so back.
