Introduction: Host Michael Rand takes a look at the much-maligned top part of the Vikings’ 2022 draft class now that Lewis Cine has been cut. There’s no doubt that the Vikings missed on Cine, Andrew Booth and Brian Asamoah, among others. But it was interesting to look back at the consensus at the time of the draft. A lot of smart folks thought the Vikings had done well.

10:00: Gophers women’s basketball coach Dawn Plitzuweit joined Rand and Gophers writer Kent Youngblood at the State Fair to preview the upcoming season. You’ll learn what Plitzuweit likes about this year’s team and what stat she loves the most.

34:00: The Twins lost again, and the Royals pulled even with Cleveland. Have we been focused on the wrong AL Central foe?
