Timberwolves, Vikings, Gophers football and Wild: H & H Podcast

The guys are back and breaking down everything happening in Minnesota sports! Timberwolves Talk: As preseason wraps up, Ahmad says for the Wolves to take the next step, rookie Rob Dillingham needs to earn more minutes and prove he belongs in the league. Henry believes Terrence Shannon Jr. could be the key — locking up opposing scorers and knocking down shots from deep — all while Anthony Edwards continues to elevate this team in a stacked Western Conference. Vikings Outlook: Coming off the bye, the QB situation remains cloudy. Both J.J. McCarthy and Carson Wentz are scheduled to speak this week, leaving everyone guessing who will start against the Eagles. Ahmad thinks this is the perfect time to face Philly after two straight losses, but Henry warns that if Minnesota can’t stop the run, it could be a long night. Gophers Football: After a comeback win over Purdue, neither host was impressed. With a ranked Nebraska up next, Ahmad challenges P.J. Fleck to win games that matter — not just beat the bottom teams — pointing out his 3-18 record vs. Top 25 opponents and average of 7 wins per season. Plus: Thoughts on the Wild’s 2-2 start, and reflections on the tragic passing of singer D’Angelo — a reminder of the importance of taking care of your health.

Napheesa Collier, Twins fire Baldelli, Vikings & Anthony Edwards: H&H Podcast

Napheesa Collier dropped a bomb on WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert, calling out how she’s running the league and even revealing private conversations. On the newest episode of the H&H Podcast, Ahmad Hicks and Henry Lake break down Collier’s powerful statement. Lake wonders if we’d be hearing this if the Lynx were competing for a title, while Ahmad argues it was time for Collier to step up as a leader. 0Meanwhile, the Minnesota Twins fired manager Rocco Baldelli — but did ownership ever give him enough to win? The guys debate if the blame really falls on the manager and players, or if this is another case of ownership failing the team. The Minnesota Vikings’ offensive struggles also take center stage. First it was all blamed on J.J. McCarthy, but Carson Wentz is running into the exact same problems. Can this team ever fix their offensive line? And finally, Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves tip off preseason against the Denver Nuggets. Is this the year they finally get over the hump? If so, what will it take? Hicks and Lake dive in.
