Introduction: Host Michael Rand listens back on Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's season-ending news conference and receives confirmation of the crux of this offseason. The Vikings like Kirk Cousins, and Cousins likes the Vikings. But whether there is a contract that suits both sides is another question — one that from Rand's perspective leads to the answer of "no."

9:00: Star Tribune Twins beat writer Phil Miller joins Rand to talk through a quiet Twins offseason. But Miller reminds us that this is the time of year the Twins tend to start making their moves.

Plus Miller and Rand get into Twins TV discussions and Joe Mauer's firm Hall of Fame standing.
36:00: Rand can't believe what he just read about Florida State and NIL.
