H&H Podcast: Vikings collapse, Gophers on the brink, Wolves keep winning
This week on the H & H Podcast, Ahmad Hicks and Henry Lake are back breaking down the Vikings’ home loss to the Ravens — and this one gets heated. Who’s really to blame: the players or head coach Kevin O’Connell? Lake argues O’Connell failed to put his guys in position to win, while Hicks says it came down to bad luck and missed opportunities. Plus — the Gophers are massive 25.5-point underdogs heading into their showdown with the No. 10 Oregon Ducks. Both hosts agree it’s time for P.J. Fleck to finally deliver a big-time win — but they strongly disagree on what happens if he doesn’t. The Wolves are rolling again with Anthony Edwards back in the lineup, but can they really hang in the loaded Western Conference? And after the Dallas Mavericks fired GM Nico Harrison, Hicks and Lake debate the growing “win-now” culture in pro sports and whether teams are losing patience too fast.

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.
