Twins are running out of people to blame; Vikings are here for a good time

Introduction: Host Michael Rand can see some of the logic in the Twins' approach to this offseason -- largely stand pat while hoping for improved health with a new head trainer -- but he can more easily see the flaws. Even with decent health in 2023, Rand sees a team that doesn't look to be much better than .500, and he sees a plan that is by default more than anything else. If Derek Falvey and co. aren't correct about their assessment, there almost certainly will be bigger moves ahead. 8:00: Star Tribune Vikings writer Andrew Krammer joins Rand for a film review of Kirk Cousins' play during the Vikings' 29-22 win over the Bears. Cousins has been clutch so far this season, leading three fourth-quarter comebacks and three game-winning drives in their 4-1 start. And some of his success has come from gaining more freedom to make decisions. 22:00: The takeaway from Vikings poetry -- enjoy the winning while it's happening. 35:00: Another NFL game, another questionable roughing the passer penalty.
