Introduction: After a couple of days off during which host Michael Rand rediscovered the brief joy of one good hole of golf, he is back with thoughts on Bally Sports North being back on Comcast. It’s a sigh of relief for Minnesota sports fans, particularly those who have been missing the Twins and Lynx this summer, but the new pricing tier is $20 more per month if you want to watch now. Will fans pay it, or will the Twins, Comcast and Bally Sports North pay the price?

10:00: Star Tribune Gophers football writer Randy Johnson joins the show to catch us up to speed on the first week of practice. The strengths of the Gophers appear to be on the offensive and defensive lines, but a tough schedule will challenge P.J. Fleck’s team.

30:00: A defining year for Aaron Rodgers’ legacy.
