Patrick Reusse on the 'unprofessional' Twins, unstoppable Vikings and uninspiring Kirk Cousins

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joined host Michael Rand for
a look back at the weekend in sports. They got into the Vikings,
but first they had to tackle the Twins. After a 2-5 road trip,
including a sweep at Kansas City, the Twins are reeling. Manager
Rocco Baldelli said their approach in the series against the Royals
was "unprofessional," but that's probably just code for what Reusse
and Rand can plainly see: they aren't very good right now, with
injuries and underperformance playing key roles. The Vikings,
meanwhile, opened the season with an impressive 28-6 victory over
the Giants. New York is probably one of the five worst teams in the
NFL, but if the Vikings can maintain Sunday's formula -- offensive
balance and defensive strength -- they might be as good as Reusse
thinks and better than Rand thought they would be. Kirk Cousins had
a clunker of a debut in Atlanta, by the way. They touched on the
Lynx and Gophers near the end of the show.
