Stu and Jon are in the house (or on the Zoom) this week, with the benefit of an extra week of hindsight. We discuss the Vikings' good-news-bad-news start and the end of the Twins season, plus get in a Loons update as well as a long commentary on the head coaching situation for the Arizona Wildcats football team, just as you all demanded. Plus, Stu is back with not only a Top 6, but an unrelated auxiliary Top 4 list as well.

This week we (1:00) explore our feelings on the Correa signing, (23:00) preview the Vikings/Giants tilt, (45:00) check in on the Wild, Wolves and Loons, and then (1:10:00) Stu delivers a filthy, disgusting and outright shocking Top 6 list. Will we ever recover enough to record another show? Only time will tell.&nbsp;

#341: A Murder of Hosmers

Jon, B and Chicken are BACK. Topics: (2:00) if this Vikings seasons ends with a whimper, was it still a success? (27:00) B is forced to role-play as Chris Finch and beg to keep his job, (49:30) a trip down memory lane to recap the first ever Sportive episode, and then (1:12:00) another famous Stu’s Top 6 segment.

We kick off with another Top 6 that is sure to break the internet, then (11:00) World Cup reactions, (37:00) coming to grips with a good Vikings team, and (54:00) ranking these putrid Wolves on a list of all-time worst vibes in the franchise. A GRIM exercise.&nbsp;

#339: 103rd & Goal

Jon, Stu and B do their best to process (3:30) a good Vikings team, (21:00) a frustrating Wolves team, (39:00) our favorite player Fred Gadreau’s tough start, and (45:00) hangovers. Lots of hangover talk. No particular reason. Stu ends with another Top 6. Good stuff.

#338: Pressing the Greasy Button

The award-winning podcast is back, and this time we've got our first guest in about 200 episodes, as old friend Michael Rand of the Star Tribune joins Jon and Stu to give us some hockey-related gravitas. We talk about the Wild, our gut feelings for the season and our worries, our hopes and our fears and dreams; we then briefly moved on to talking Loons before Chicken showed up out of nowhere and we boomeranged back to talking about the Wild. Plus: talk about things calcifying; which fanbase is angriest at Mike; Timberwolves win predictions, somehow; and a Top 6 list from our close personal friend, and former podcast guest and future lawsuit recipient Rocket.

[Ringing large bell in the town square] HERE YE HERE YE it's the annual Sportive Vikings season preview. We play a new game called "In &amp; Out" then run through our bros, turds, wins and backup team. Plus a new bit called Style Corner With Jon. Big thanks to Stu for submitting his latest Top 6 list and to Tom Shane for calling in.

#335: All Profits Go To O.J.

The boys are back with our world-famous bits and segments. This episode had everything: aimless speculating about Twins pitcher injuries, giving up on the Vikings before the season starts, Stu’s Top 6 and Jon role playing. Later we introduced two new crowd-pleasing features: “Drinking! With Stu” and “Eating! With Chicken.” Possibly a good episode, definitely an interesting one.

#334: The Brian Zepp Truth Foundation

Us again?? Jon, B and CF69 cover: how it feels to have a giant tree fall on your house, the Twins deadline deals, pull tab strategies, Canterbury, a very quick Kirill update, and the Top 6 Maggies (?). Peel back the tab slowly and then very quick on this one.&nbsp;
