Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Vikings’ 30-12 win over the Bears on Monday Night Football, which was a grinding affair but ultimately proved satisfying. Minnesota is now 12-2 with a chance to win the NFC North and gain the No. 1 seed if it wins its final three games. But the Vikings will probably have to play more efficiently than they did Monday to earn those things.

12:00: The Star Tribune’s Jeff Day joins Rand to talk through his excellent long profile of Gophers gymnast Mya Hooten.

46:00: Day sticks around for a second segment on the Timberwolves and the KAT trade with the Knicks coming to town Thursday.
