Podcast: The Teddy Bridgewater parallel; Game-by-game Gophers football predictions

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with two emails from listeners. Shane is blaming himself for J.J. McCarthy’s injury because of a parallel his life to Teddy Bridgewater’s injury eight years ago. And Bob thinks the Twins have missed some critical chances to close the gap on Cleveland even though they had a strong overall homestand and good win Thursday in Texas.

13:00: Star Tribune Gophers football writer Randy Johnson gives us the latest on running back Darius Taylor’s hamstring injury and goes game-by-game through the entire 12-game schedule with Rand.

36:00: The Lynx are back and didn’t miss a beat; the Wolves are being treated (correctly) as one of the NBA’s top teams.
