This season has been underwhelming for the Vikings and fans are searching for answers and someone or something to blame. Most of our society needs to have things a simple one answer, black and white conclusion when in reality most things in life are complicated and grey. Here are the multiple reasons the Vikings ar...

This season has been underwhelming for the Vikings and fans are searching for answers and someone or something to blame. Most of our society needs to have things a simple one answer, black and white conclusion when in reality most things in life are complicated and grey. Here are the multiple reasons the Vikings ar...

As a Vikings fan, I'm still on cloud nine after our 27-24 victory over Detroit on Sunday. It was incredibly refreshing to see J.J. McCarthy start his third NFL game on the road and perform so well, especially after the offense struggled with an injured Carson Wentz at quarterback in the losses against the Eagles and Ch...

A few Vikings players, along with Coach Kevin O'Connell, experienced a challenging Sunday in their 28-22 loss to the Eagles. Carson Wentz's two interceptions, including a pick-six, immediately put the Vikings at a disadvantage. This team struggles when playing from behind, and avoiding slow starts will be crucial to pr...

It wasn't pretty but the Vikings scored a 21-17 win against Cleveland Sunday in London before going into their bye weekend.. The team is 3-2 and with all of the injuries they have sustained I guess that fanbase can't be too upset with that. Yes, this team could be undefeated with a few more breaks but in the same brea...

My college picks: NDSU has a lot of players to reload, but the likes of SDSU and Montana State did as well. The Bison will go the the FCS Championship and win back to back titles defeating USD in Nashville. In the FBS Penn State will beat Georgia in the College Football Playoff. In the NFL: AFC division winners a...

After a little less than a year that the Pohlad family announced their intention to sell the Minnesota Twins organization; they announced last Wednesday they will still be the principal owners of the organization for the foreseeable future. They did announce there were going to be two investors to the ownership group. ...

It seems like every year around this time I groan and write about how the weekend berween the AFC and NFC Championship games and the Super Bowl is the toughest time for sports on television. High school events are fun to follow this time of year; but on Sundays meaningful sporting events where I am going to be glued to...

Not since I was a teenage kid have I been as excited about a professional athlete the way I am about Anthony Edwards. As a 51 year-old man I almost feel silly cheering for this 22 year-old phenom who led the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 120-95 win over Phoenix in game one of the opening round of the NBA Western Confere...

It was reported by Bloomberg Analysis last Thursday that Bally Sports, the brand that Sinclair Broadcasting's subsidiary Diamond Sports Group uses to distribute regional sports networks around the country is filing for bankruptcy and will restructure. This should come as no shock to anyone who knows anything about ele...

FOUR DOWNS COLUMN Another crazy weekend in sports, time for another "Four Downs." FIRST DOWN: I would fall into the majority of Twins fans who were not in favor of trading Luis Arraez for a number three starter for the Miami Marlins. Pablo Lopez is good but not great and while the two prospects Miami sent...

I write this blog every year. It is my annual preach to the young men who are going to start their August practices next week for the upcoming football season. The message is mainly directed at the seniors, but all of the upperclassmen need to realize that they shouldn't gripe too much about the heat, hard work and am...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Joe Ryan threw seven innings of one-hit ball and Max Kepler stayed hot with a pair of home runs as the streaking Minnesota Twins defeated the Detroit Tigers 5-0 on Wednesday night. Ryan Jeffers homered, doubled and drove in three runs for the Twins, who won their sixth game in a row. Michael Pineda (...

The National Football League has some flaws, but this past weekend proves why it is the most popular sport in the United States and it is not even close. While two of the best quarterbacks to ever have played the game, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers both lost and this will be the first time since 2009 neither of them will...

There are a lot of changes that need to be made in the sports world. If I was named the "Czar of Sports" for North America here are some of the rules I would implement. RULE #1: The NFL is a billion dollar business that has one of the dumbest postseason policies for a sport that moves as fast as football doe...

A busy weekend in sports, I have it covered I'm another "Four Downs"! FIRST DOWN: As you are reading this the fate of Mike Zimmer as coach and Rick Spielman as General Manager has probably been decided by the owners of the Vikings Mark and Zigi Wilf. The speculation then will turn into what will the leadershi...

I had mixed feelings watching the Minnesota Class AA Prep Bowl Championship game between West Central/Ashby Area vs. Chatfield last Friday. On one hand I wanted to cheer for the team from the region, because I always do when they get that far in the state tournament; but on the other hand I wanted Chatfield to prove t...

After a week of pondering it, I have come to the conclusion that the NFL should eliminate field goals, extra points and kickoffs. To start the game the winner of the coin flip decides if they want to start on offense on their own 25 yard line or differ that option to the second half. After a team scores, the opposition...

I'll never forget the buzz around the region when NDSU announced in 2003 they would be going to jump from the ranks of NCAA Division Two up to D1. At the time there were two divisions of football called D1-A and D1-AA, now known as Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Many Bison ...

The last two weeks have been humbling; you the KFGO listeners made us the most listened to radio station in the region once again, this time #1 with a bullet. We also won another Edward R. Murrow award for our coverage of the riots in downtown Fargo from May of 2020. As the Brand Manager/Program Director of KFGO I ca...
