Brandon And The Boss Man - Presented By Minnesotasportsfan.com

Episode 51 of the Minnesota Sports Fan podcast has forced us to talk about the Timberwolves since they hired a New President of Basketball Operations, in Gersson Rosas. Your PoBOing skills don't matter when you have Andrew Wiggins strapped to your back.The sun starts shining again when we talk about the Twins, who we knew would bounce back last night after losing 2 of 3 in New York. Now standing at 21-12 and atop the Central Division, the Twins are a train that can't be stopped. Destination: Playoffs.We found some time left available to talk about the Vikings and their cap and Laquon Treadwell problems before ending the show with a segment about Gopher basketball and their new grad-transfer. Also, how will the Gophers fair this coming season? Hint: Does Amir Coffey come back?

Episode 50 went off the rails a lot. Brandon and Eric were distracted driving through this entire episode and it made for one of the best yet. Through it all, we recap the Vikings draft, discussing all of the good things and some of the flaws Spielman displayed over the weekend. Twins Baseball doesn't get left off of this podcast anymore since all they do is win, with another victory last night, this time against the AL West leading Houston Astros. And in between our planned topics is our usual nonsense which, this time, consists of eric's struggle to reach his wife's moist boxx, brandon's life-long struggle to reach as much moist boxx as possible, and Eric fighting and confusing everyone on Twitter again..

In episode 49, our professional is showing. We have our favorite draft expert, Jordan Reid to get us all hot and bothered for the incoming NFL Draft and what the Vikings will do with their picks. You can be the smartest Vikings draft person at work if you listen to this half hour.After letting Jordan go, we dive into our best montage yet... and it's Tiger Woods - Masters related. We talk about it too.. but the MONTAGE...Eric also covered the Gopher Football Spring Game as a member of the media. He talks about his first time as a "Big J"We sneak some Twins in too... The ended up losing after this recorded... because of pitching... like we talk about on the show.Oh.... and Brandon bought Taco Bell for $27 on Sunday, to recover from another night of time traveling.

As we episode closer and closer to the half-century mark, we have a new guest this week! Brandon Warne was gracious enough to lend us his baseball expertise to anwer questions on the Twins and the unwritten rules of baseball. It's time for America's pastime to make some changes.Once we finally let Brandon go, we found some time to talk about Richard Pitino's contract extension and what it means.... (hint: nothing)

In episode 47, Brandon and Eric dive deep into the Minnesota Twins optimism now that we have a series win over Cleveland under our belts.It's not all positive though as the NCAA Tournament is evil and we discuss whether it's worth watching the tournament next year or worth spending time at US Bank stadium or downtown for this year's Final Four.We recap the Gopher Basketball season as JellyFam looks to transfer away.

In episode 46, we get ready for the NCAA Tournament by doing the NCAA a favor and round-tabling how to fix the "non-profit" organization with Brandon's old friend, David Queck who drops all sorts of knowledge. After some calm discussion, we think we may have fixed it.After fixing the NCAA with Queck, Brandon and I discuss the upcoming tournament for the Gophers. Can they win a game in the dance? Can the beat Louisville? Does it matter? Then, we have a calm discussion about Richard Pitino and why Brandon is a dumbass for wanting him fired still.We can't get through an episode without talking about the Vikings and with the NFL offseason burning wild, there's plenty to talk about... well.. plenty to talk about on the offensive line...After a long episode, we make 10 minutes for the Twins because they have us so jacked up for this summer. Sure, they could use another pitcher but this team is hitting so many bombs it might not matter...Eddie Rosario for MVP!ANNOUNCEMENT: Stay on the lookout today for the Minnesota

This is a very Vikings-centric episode with Free Agency upon us. We talk about the moves that have been made so far and what we might see yet to come. We also listen to Kirk Cousins tell Paul Allen how pissed off he is at how last season ended. Is this really fire we are hearing from Kirk Cousins?We also talk about the status of Richard Pitino and the Gopher Basketball team, who can't seem to lose themselves out of the NCAA Tournament.We can't miss the Twins either. Byron Buxton is going to hit .500 this year with 100 bombs.

In episode 44, the guys work to stay on task in an episode that doesn't have a guest. Some straying from topic leads to talk about Twitter troll accounts and more love for PJ Fleck.While on topic, we talk about how good the Twins will be and we estimate how many home runs they will hit by going through the lineup player by player. Can the beat 225?It's a big Tuesday in Minnesota sports and that includes the first of two games this week where the Gophers will have a chance to win their way into the NCAA Tournament... I wish we were as optimistic on them as we are on the Twins...The Vikings trade rumors are swirling. Is Everson Griffen the right phone call away from being a former Viking?And, you didn't think you would escape an episode without a PJ BJ did you? Good, because we talk about Fleck vs. Jerry again.

The NFL Draft is around the corner and there is nobody better on the internet to talk to us about it than Jordan Reid or Climb the Pocket and Cover1 Sports. Jordan's road to NFL Draft Analyst fame isn't a normal one. It's the Twitter Cinderella Story!Jordan drops all sorts of knowledge on the Vikings' options at 18. He tells us if it's a lock for the Vikings to go offensive line or if they might look elsewhere. Who would need to drop for the us to look at drafting outside of OL?With so much need at OL, Jordan tells us who might be a good fit for our purple and gold. He also tells us what he looks for while watching the combine, which will be alive in full force over the next few days.Finally, we had to let Jordan go or Brandon never would've stopped asking questions... We moved onto Ja Rule's supposed curse against the Timberwolves.... and the Kings?Do the Twins have us actually reasonably excited for baseball?????????

Jerry Kill made a fool of himself on Tuesday evening when he went on national radio with an agenda to slander PJ Fleck. Unfortunately for him, everyone listening has a brain and knows what he said was false. Ryan Burns comes on the show to give us his inside take on the entire situation and then updates us on the current state of Gopher Football recruiting. Then, Brandon and I discuss why Jerry is so salty and jealous of PJ Fleck.Then, we move on to the other coach on campus, Richard Pitino. The Gophers are on the NCAA bubble and Richard Pitino's job should be on the line. We discuss why it'd be the perfect time to fire him if he isn't dancing in March.With so much negativity around town, it's nice to have some hope in the Twins and Rocco Baldelli is a big reason for that hope. With sweeping changes around Fort Myers for Spring Training, the Twins seem to be on the cutting edge of the MLB instead of being last to the party like we've been used to. Now..... can he win?Lastly, who is to blame for the Kirk Cousi

10 Years ago to the day, "The Office" released the best episode (2 parts) in the best TV series of all time. It immediately followed the Super Bowl in 2009 and "Stress Relief" brought the show to a completely new audience. We watch the best scenes of that episode together. From "The Fire Drill" to "CPR Training" this episode lives in TV infamy.During, in-between, and after we watch "The Office" we chat about the Winners of Super Bowl 53, which included Brady, Belichick, and Barstool Sports.Eric also tries to teach Brandon what love is and why it's different than lust.... there are some things you just can't teach.

In Episode 40, Brandon is on another vacation so Eric is joined by his brother Brett and they break down the state of Minnesota sports as things sit right now. Vikings Can Kubiak and Stefanski be the key to success? What makes us nervous? Find out.Timberwolves:Who will be the next Timberwolves head coach and does it matter? In the meantime, will the interim operators be allowed (or want) to make a blockbuster move that might involve Andrew Wiggins? Who else may we see go or arrive?Gopher Basketball:What is the ceiling for Gopher Basketball and what is holding this team back from being a legitimate contender? How big of a problem is Jellyfam? Wait... WTF happened to Jellyfam?WildThe Wild are on a hot streak as we enter the all-star break. We've heard that before....

Brandon is back from vacation physically but who knows when he'll be back mentally...In-between him and his party music, we yelled at each other about California and whether or not it should fall into the ocean, the status of life in MN vs other states, and some relevant sports topics.Randy Moss jumped onto Instagram to request a coaching interview from the Vikings. We discuss how stupid the organizations would be if they don't contact him.Twins fans are internet fighting and there's no reason for it.Jackie McMullen from ESPN wrote a story proving (again) that Jimmy Butler is an asshole and Karl Anthony-Towns is soft... Also, have you ever watched "The Curse of Oak Island" on the History Channel? If not, Eric explains why you need to... You don't want to miss the biggest historical find in human history when it could be right there on your big screen.

Brandon is out on another vacation but is spelled by the infamous Seth Toupal, who writes for the site and talks on the radio for a living at KLGR in Redwood Falls/Alexandria area as the host of "The Scoop."Darren Wolfson was nice enough to hop on the phone with us to give us the low-down on all of the latest Minnesota Sports News. - How excited are we about new-look Wolves? - Who is the TWolves next FULL-TIME coach? - What happened with Gophers OC Kirk Ciarocca and WVU? (It's not the first time...) - Gopher Football loaded with young talented coachesAfter about 20 minutes with Darren, we lost the recording so we cut short about 1 minute.We then comb over our Wolfson interview before moving on to the Gopher Basketball team who we are very nervous about after Tuesday's loss to Maryland.Last, but not least, we hit the Vikings' hire of Kevin Stefanski and what we should expect to see from the Vikings' offense in 2019.

In episode 37 we spend a lot of time on what's important in life. Maple Syrup and Insta-Pots.Cub Foods let Eric down when he needed maple syrup this week and he needs a vent line.Meanwhile Brandon’s new Christmas present might make him a real adult finally.We also move over to MN Sports where the Gopher Basketball team got a huge upset win in Wisconsin Thursday night. How good can they be this year now that they are 12-2 on the season?We don't forget about the Vikings, unfortunately. Eric has a bad feeling about what cost the Vikings their ”nastiness” as Zimmer put it. Can they get that back next year?At this point, the Twins are the most exciting team in town.... That's probably not a good thing but we discuss why we are excited and how the new FO’s plan is clearly unveiling itself.

Minnesota Sports Fan has been quiet with Eric planning and executing major renovations on the site while Brandon tries to forget about Winter with vacation after vacation but the MSF Podcast always delivers.We get sidetracked with government conspiracies, sex-ed recommendations, and arguments about whether one can rock a fanny pack but those are distractions that you deal with in everyday conversation.We do get to some sports talk. We are jacked up about the future of Gopher Football after they charged out of bowl season on absolute fire.The Twins sign Nelson Cruz and take another step toward putting the future of this team on Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano. Will they finally break through?Lastly, we talk Vikings-Bears.... Can the SKOL Train pull out the victory and head to the postseason as the team NOBODY wants any part of come playoffs?Let's get it.-- Please SUBSCRIBE on your favorite listening platform AND SUBSCRIBE on YOUTUBE for preview videos + more (search "Minnesota Sports Fan") --

Wow Minnesota Sports Fam! We have one hell of a show for you today! Scheduling conflicts mean we were able to upgrade from Brandon to Darren "Doogie" Wolfson of Channel 5, 1500 ESPN and "The Scoop" Podcast, who graced us with his insider knowledge for almost an ENTIRE HOUR!

Darren answers that and goes deep into how the media stumbled upon it. It's must-hear.- And last, but not least, Byron Buxto

In episode 33 of the Minnesota Sports Fan Podcast, Eric tries to get some positivity out of Brandon but without much success. First, we discuss what Netflix, Porn, and Sports News all have in common (you don’t want to miss this convo).With the Vikings struggling and a questionable future for basketball and hockey in this town, Brandon is ready to give up. Eric reminds him that Minnesota has always been like this (in case he forgot). Why these expectations now? A win in Seattle would make Brandon feel a lot better but can the Vikings make it happen so they can turn the narrative? How does the rest of the schedule look? What are the chances they do or don’t make the playoffs? We dig into all of those topics.After a 6-2 start, Brandon is still questioning Richard Pitino’s team so Eric tries to set him straight there too. But he has his own worries. How does Richard fill in for the lack of 3-point shooting and PG play? We discuss.Are the Timberwolves really as good as they’ve been playing the last few weeks, sinc

After an unsuccessful attempt at recording early Tuesday morning the MSF Podcast crew was back at it for episode 32. It isn’t always easy but we grind it out for you guys. But enough about our heroism, it was a big weekend.We start with the Gopher football team, who finally brought Paul Bunyan’s Axe back to Minneapolis after 15 years of building up layers of cheese dust (not the good kind created by eating too many cheese balls — it’s more of a layer of a dust-type mold that smells like framented cheese).The victory completely changes the narrative of the offseason for PJ Fleck and his young football team.The Vikings also won a big game vs a disgusting Wisconsin team. But, it’s far from celebration time at US Bank Stadium. In a jammed up NFC, the Vikings need to win some tough games to guarantee their playoff hopes and dreams.We talk about what it’ll take.It starts with a win in Foxborough this Sunday afternoon vs the legendary New England Patriots. Can the Vikings upset Brady and Belechick? We line the two t
