Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joined host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports. They got into the Vikings, but first they had to tackle the Twins. After a 2-5 road trip, including a sweep at Kansas City, the Twins are reeling. Manager Rocco Baldelli said their approach in the series against the Royals was "unprofessional," but that's probably just code for what Reusse and Rand can plainly see: they aren't very good right now, with injuries and underperformance playing key roles. The Vikings, meanwhile, opened the season with an impressive 28-6 victory over the Giants. New York is probably one of the five worst teams in the NFL, but if the Vikings can maintain Sunday's formula -- offensive balance and defensive strength -- they might be as good as Reusse thinks and better than Rand thought they would be. Kirk Cousins had a clunker of a debut in Atlanta, by the way. They touched on the Lynx and Gophers near the end of the show.
