Patrick Reusse on the merciful end for the Vikings, a great hockey beginning and Ben Johnson's Gophers

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, which included the merciful end to a disjointed Vikings season. Now that it's over, let's hope there is an honest reckoning with the roster and a true path forward, which should include a future without Kirk Cousins. The next few months could be as important as any during the Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O'Connell era. 26:00: The PWHL drew 13,000 fans for Minnesota's home opener, part of a successful weekend aside from the Vikings. Minnesota's team won 3-0, while the Gophers men's basketball team improved to 3-1 in the Big Ten with another tense win. 42:00: Reusse tells some great stories about former Twins manager Billy Gardner, who died recently at age 96.
