Jim and Todd talk about the NFL weekend. The teams that lost were a bigger story than those that won. The NFC North is the best division in football. Both guys believe the Vikings may have the biggest upside in the North with a team about to get healthier and Kyler Murray ascending. The Chargers being 0-6 with Jim Harbaugh as HC is the biggest shocker in the league this year. Jim doesn't think their OC Mike McDaniel makes it to Sunday without being fired first.

The Brewers sweep the Dodgers in the NLCS. What happened to the Dodgers? The Brewers play some old school small ball. Sam Darnold threw two costly late picks for the Seahawks vs the Broncos, the second pick led directly to a loss. Is Darnold coming back to earth? Bo Nix also struggled, if we redraft the QB's from '24, who goes #1? There are rumors of the Vikings trading for All-NFL G Quenton Nelson, should they?

Jim and Todd talk about the Timberwolves preseason so far. Was their main weakness exposed by Detroit? The Dodgers are in danger of being swept by the Brewers. Ohtani looks lost. What is the Twins first priority this offseason.

Jim and Todd discuss the latest disclosures in Vikings D-Coordinator Brian Flores lawsuit vs the NFL and four individual teams. If the case gets adjudicated this year, will Flores leave for a Head Coaching position if offered? Or will he never be a head coach again? What can we make of the Gophers season and where it's heading. They play a very good Iowa team this Saturday. Any and LaMelo are each just 25 years old and are still adding to their games. Jim thinks this could be Ant's best season ever.

Another great game from the NFL on Monday Night Football. How do the Cowboys get so many people predicting big things for them when they've been mediocre for decades. Three of the four remaining teams in the MLB Playoffs are small market teams. This winter the owners will enter negotiations for a new CBA trying to make the case that small market teams can't compete unless they have a salary cap, good luck. The Wolves look great this preseason, Ant and Jalen McDaniels in particular.

Jim and Todd talk about the Vikings win in New Orleans. Kyler Murray played winning football. No turnovers, from him anyway, accurate throws and key runs. If not for two red zone fumbles by teammates the Vikings score 30+ points. Lots of injuries, fortunately not too severe, most should return after the bye week. What happened to the Chargers? Has Jim Harbaugh lost touch and is Justin Herbert a fraud. The Gophers were terrible, most troubling, their tackling.

A shortened half-time version with Jim today. He and Todd break down the Vikings game in New Orleans on Sunday. Jim points out the accuracy of Kyler Murray, even if they didn't score a TD, they still moved the ball. Jim thinks the Vikings will be buyers at the trade deadline. He makes his prediction for Sunday.

Jim and Todd talk Gopher football. They better not look past Purdue on Saturday or it nullifies one of their last two big wins. The Vikings don't have a single player in the Top 50 in odds to win The DPOY, that's just wrong says Jim. Dallas Turner should be among the favorites to win the award. Jim not surprised the Yankees were beaten by tampa in the MLB Playoffs. Mildly surprised they were swept.
