After some technical difficulties to start the show, Eric and Brandon caught their usual groove and touched on the Twins faltering and injured pitching staff and how difficult it is to get an ace pitcher with cheap mid-market owners. Then gears switched to the Vikings and JC Tretter's reported interest in wearing purple. Would he be worth the price…

The Minnesota Twins are struggling with a COVID outbreak, which begs to question why we're still panicking over such nonsense.

Brandon and Eric are in your ears again and this time Eric is apparently "working out"... which can't be true, according to Brandon.

Most of this episode is filled with Brandon and Eric fighting about how "untouchable" the top Twins prospects really are and what it would take for the team to b…

The Minnesota Twins are the hottest team in baseball and might have the best team to ever step onto a professional Minnesota diamond... but the first 20 minutes of this show was derailed because Brandon's mind gets sidetracked when you mention "smoking hot" and "twins" in the same sentence.... Eventually, we did recover and were able to talk about …

Episode 53 is full because the Minnesota Sports Abyss is non-existent in 2019.

In episode 47, Brandon and Eric dive deep into the Minnesota Twins optimism now that we have a series win over Cleveland under our belts.

We…

In episode 46, we get ready for the NCAA Tournament by doing the NCAA a favor and round-tabling how to fix the "non-profit" organization with Brandon's old friend, David Queck who drops all sorts of knowledge.

Jerry Kill made a fool of himself on Tuesday evening when he went on national radio with an agenda to slander PJ Fleck. Unfortunately for him, everyone listening has a brain and knows what he said was false. Ryan Burns comes on the show to give us his inside take on the entire situation and then updates us on the current state of Gopher Football re…

10 Years ago to the day, "The Office" released the best episode (2 parts) in the best TV series of all time.

They are way too good at letting us down for free, to…
