Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the World Series, which ended Wednesday after the Dodgers rallied for a 7-6 win over the Yankees. Mookie Betts keyed the win with a great hustle play, but the entire series was just a meeting between two high payroll teams in an inequitable system.

8:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for their debate segment. Can the Vikings turn their season back around on Sunday? Does MLS need a different overtime format? And what if two games had gone differently for the Gophers football team?

27:00: The WNBA has a problem.
