  Speaker 2: coolest drinks ever. To Chris Hockey, Lemon drink is phenomenal.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, just go check out the website CULTIVATEDCBD dot com.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Let's get to it, because yes, it's been a month,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: been a months and sports done writers come to you
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: in the sports cove here. So a few things. We're
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: gonna talk about NBA Draft, Timberwolves, and you know, I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: was talking with people and of course we haven't heard
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: of a lot of these names, so you know you
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: got to kind of go in grab film and hit
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the old YouTube and things like that. But we will
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: talk about the Timberwolves in their pick, especially the big
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: center out of France, Joan Bereinger on what I think
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he's still eighteen. I mean, there's a lot of upside here,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna kind of run through the draft picks here.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: There's a really good article CBS Sports website that I
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: don't think really gets a lot of props. I think
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: cbssports dot com does a really good job covering all
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the sports here. But Adam Adam Finkelstein has a draft
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: grade article out there, so we'll go through that. Also,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: going to talk about the Gophers go for football still
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: a little ways away, but just kind of I don't
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: want to say necessarily a state of the program, but
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you know, I was over and I was looking at
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: a few different articles and this and that, and you know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: just talking with people, so you know, where are we
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: at with the Gopher football program? Is this as good
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: as it gets? Can it be better? We'll talk about that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Twins baseball, we will get into that here. We're
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: gonna start off actually the Twins four to one winners
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: tonight over Detroit. Detroit, by the way, having a really
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: good year fifty one and thirty two. After the lost tonight,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Twins forty and forty two, David felt still with the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: five and two thirds innings pitch and Johann Durant comes in,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: gets a mop up duty, and I'm gonna tell you something, man,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And it's it's always rough because you always, you know, baseball,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: because it's such a long season. There's you know, dipping
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: in it and following it every day is really really hard.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: But I was really hoping the Twins were gonna be
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: better than forty and forty two. Now I know a
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: lot of people did, and I am trust me. It
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: is great to see Buston doing what he's doing. I mean,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: he's leading you know, literally Twins in all statistical offensive categories.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I think another home run tonight and tonight's game. But
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: you know, the Twins are still ten games out of
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: it if I have my standings correct, which I'm pulling up, yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: and a half games behind Detroit. And just the disappointing season.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: You know, the losing streaks earlier on that big long
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: win really really hurt them. And of course injuries and
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you're always just wondering. You know, obviously, if Buxton can
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: stay healthy, he's one of the best players in the game,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: still one of the you know, if not the best
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: center fielder in the game. But you know, when you
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: look at all these other teams in the American League,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you really have any hope that the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Twins would do anything against the Yankees? The way it's
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: shaving up this year? The Tigers look, and even Houston,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I mean Houston forty nine and thirty three. You know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Seattle above five hundred, Angels hovering around five hundred, they're
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: forty and forty, but they'll probably tail off. And you know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: outside of that, let me go back to the American
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: League East. Here you got the race. They're ten games
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: over five hundred Blue Jays, so you know, for the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Twins playoff hopes, it's going to take a miraculous run.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: But good to see Buston doing this thing. But I
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: don't know, I think you're gonna have to figure out
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: a ownership. I mean, the Twins are for sale still.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: We don't really know exactly what the Pole lads are
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: doing while they still own the team. How you know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: are they looking to put money into it, Well, of
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: course not. They're gonna sell the team, so you know
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: they're not looking to go spend more of their money anyway.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: But we will see. But just wanted to mention the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Twins here because we really haven't talked a lot of
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: baseball because the Twins had that rough start, so we
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: are keeping our eyes on them. We're gonna have actually
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: we're gonna talk some baseball and other things here because
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: next week as the show is back regular and we
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: will be back regular. Matt gary Geffery's coming on Beer
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Belly Sports, one of my old cohorts on the North
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Star Sports podcast back in the day. It's gonna be
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: good to talk to him. He's gonna be coming to
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: us out of the Midgie rough storms up there, So
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: shouts out to the fine folks up in northern Minnesota.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: We had some really really bad storms go through northern
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Minnesota last week here and it was not good, not good.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: So shout out to everybody up there. And looking forward
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: to catching up with Matt. We haven't talked in a minute,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: so always good to talk to him as well. All right,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: moving this show along as we're just gonna keep going
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: here gop football. I just wanted to take a couple
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: of minutes here talk about Gopher football. Where we at,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: where we going? Can we go higher? Things like that.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I was talking with some friends and you know, one
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: of my homies was just like, I think Minnesota's kind
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: of done all they can do, you know, going back
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: to twenty nineteen nine, was it, two nine win seasons
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: since then, and just kind of like, that's it. That's
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: as HeiG as Minnesota can can get. You know, we
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: had the New Year's Day Bowl, which is great, by
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the way, I mean, you know, eleven year win nine,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: nine win seasons, all that stuff. Safe to say that PJ.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Fleck has brought stability back to the program. I think
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: no matter who you talk to who covers the Gophers,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: most people would agree on that fact. And that is
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: good for for college, for your college football program in
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: today's day and age. So the big question that me
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and a few of my friends, A couple of those
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: friends one is a season ticket holder like myself, and
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the question was could the Gophers ever make the college playoffs?
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Now it sounds most people are going to go that's
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I was crazy sports Gov on the face of it.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: But I just harken back to a year ago. Two words,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Indiana Hoosiers. If the Indiana Hoosiers can find a way
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: and put those wins together and found themselves in the
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: college playoffs, Minnesota can as well. Is it gonna be easy? No,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: you know, and we take a look at the schedule
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: here they have a very favorable home schedule, but you know,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: they do hit the road Iowa Ohio State again. You
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: know that Iowa game. So many victories blown over the
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: past few years to the Iowahawkeyes. So you know, but
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: it's always a tough game down there in Iowa City,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Ohio State.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: On the road.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Northwestern is gonna be interesting. That's gonna be kind of funds.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: They're playing in Wrigley Field, so there's gonna be a
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: huge for contingent for that just down in Chicago. Very
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: easy trip to make there. But you know, the Gophers
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: start off the season with University of Buffalo coming in.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: That's the Thursday night game, first day of the State Fair.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Kind of become a tradition at Thursday night. Start from Minnesota,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: then Northwestern State wherever that is, comes in, and then
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: the Gophers hit the road and they go out to
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the Bay Area to take on the cow Golden Bears.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: That's right, they're heading out to Berkeley. Now, you know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: California has a team every so often. I haven't done
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: any research, haven't looked at them, so don't know what
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: they're rocking with out there in the Bay Area. But
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: hopefully a good win for Minnesota there, and then Rutgers
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: comes back, the return of calig Manus comes back to Minnesota. Oh,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be so much fun because like the Sports
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Gov told you last year, I said that game could
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: probably be Athens best game of the year, and then,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: well we know what happened in Minnesota lost the game.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: So when people go the Gophers could never make the playoffs,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the Gophers, you know, the big Tens, two, top heavy,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: all this stuff. I get it. But all it takes
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: is just a little break here and there, some good
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: standings and the rakings and then if you never know,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: people lose in front of you who are ranked higher,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden you become Indiana two point zero.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: And that's what I was telling my homies. So I
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: was telling my friends, and again you listen to the
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Sports Done Right podcast with Vince Right to Sports Governor
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: back on the mic, Mike, if Indiana can find a way,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe things could break right one year for
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Minnesota or honestly, any other team. I mean, you know,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: this Isnnesota's a podcast, so that's what we're talking about.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: But Northwestern, anybody, Purdue, you know, I was always close.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: They find a way to screw it up. Shout out
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Andrew Hayes, my favorite Hawkeye fan. And by the way,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Gophers got to get this pig back, man, you gotta
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: get the pig back. But yeah, I mean, there is
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: definitely hope one day, you never know that, Yes, the
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Golden Gophers can and make the college playoffs. So
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: that's all I wanted to say. On that it can happen.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I like what PJ has done here. Like I said,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: he has brought stability, and you know, honestly, you know,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: for Minnesota, I think he's just I think he's just
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: done a really good job here. It's not the easiest
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: place to recruit too, for Abbs reasons. You know, people
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: still talk about weather and this and that. But you know,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: you can get the recruits up here in the winter
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: or excuse me, in the summertime and show them that, hey,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: it's not always cold up here. We need the administration
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I believe, I still believe the administration at the University
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: of Minnesota to get behind athletics more than they've shown.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: But PJ. Fleck has done a pretty good job up
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: here stability, some big, big wins, unfortunately, some disappointing losses,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: and you know, I'm just excited to see what happens
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: this year every year a Gopher football. Stay tuned, just
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: stay tuned there. All right, Let's see what else we
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: got going on here. I'm just trying to think, is
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: there anything else I wanted to touch on with the Gophers? Nope,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: will be folcusing in on them specific players, and you know,
• 15:05

• 15:08
  Speaker 2: and we'll see what the Arkansas All Star quarterback can do.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Stay tuned, all right, folks, let's do this. Let's get
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: a quick word from the sponsors, and then when we
• 15:21

• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the franchise, a home run for Dallas, great shot blocker,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: high steel raid. Apparently Cooper does it all, so we'll
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: see it's gonna be a nice fit in there for Dallas.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: And Ron Harper's son, Dylan Harper out of Rutgers goes

  Speaker 2: get to what he says about the seventeenth pick, mister
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Jean Behinger from France. He's very young. He doesn't turn
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: nineteen until November and has only played for a few years.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: But he's just under seven feet without shoes and better
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: than a seven foot four wingspan. He's an extreme athlete
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: with excellent mobility and good hands. Let's see. His arch
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: type is a rim running, shot blocker and lob threat
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: that's very valued in today's NBA. In Minnesota, Berenger gets
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: to learn under Rudy Gobert and could potentially take over
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: for him in a few years down the road. That's
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: a great succession plan for the center spot. He gives
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the Minnesota Timberwolves an A grade for that pick. And
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: before we move on to the next pick, let's talk
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: a little bit about that as I've seen highlights of
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Berengar a little bit here, jumped on YouTube a little
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: bit at lunch today, and yeah, I mean, you know,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: there's always potential, as they say, there's always potential. So
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: we just got to see the guy. Like he said,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: he's very young, but he is. He's big, he's very fluid,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: he runs the court well for a big guy, and
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: from what I've seen on highlight reels, he seems to
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: have much better hands than Rudy Gobert when it comes
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: to the offensive side, and he gets to learn, like
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: you said, from Rudy Gobert on the defensive side, and
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Rudy is a four time defensive Player of the Year.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: So definitely a lot of upside here with Berengar out
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: of France. And let's hope that it pans out because
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: we have the new owners. By the way, Mark Lorie
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Alex Rodriguez a rod it is official. They have been
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: voted in by the NBA Board of Governors, so it
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: is all good here and they are rocking and rolling
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: with their first draft. And that number forty five Roko
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Zakarski out of our Australia, and let's see what Finkelstein
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: says about him. This is a big bed on a
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: big player and one worth exploring, that number forty five.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: So I'm handing out high marks here. He says. Zakarski
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: is the tallest player in this class, that's seven foot four,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: and he has produced at a high level in the
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Australian NBL against grown men as a young teenager. He'll
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: enter the NBA's the league's third tallest player, behind only
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Victor when Bayama and Zach Edy, and we get a
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: grade of B for the Wolf's second pick, So props
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: got them. Kind of. I like what I'm hearing here.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: I have to take out some film, check out some
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: film on Zakarski. But yeah, you know, again, we will see.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: But I like the bigs, so to speak. One thing
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: the Timberwolves do need, though, is, in my opinion, if
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: you're gonna they need kind of the next point guard
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: to run along with ant Man. You know, I love
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Mike Conley, but obviously Mike has been around for a
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: long time and had a little bit of a drop
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: off last year. So time to maybe see if, if
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: you know, f Conley can bounce back hopefully, but if not,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: you know, who's going to be kind of the other
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: point guard, shooting guard, I don't know, to help out
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: the ant man here as well. And the Timberwolves, let's
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: talk about them real quick here, because you know, I
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: haven't talked to you in a month and they were
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: still in the playoffs the last time we did talk,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: and obviously that came to an end in the Western
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Conference finals. Again, I mean that's one thing the Timberwolves,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: this tandom of Timberwolves is giving you the best stretch
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: of basketball in Timberwolves history. And for people older like
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: myself who were so locked in with the Kevin Garnett
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: era and those teams that had some bigger names on them,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: probably more famous basketball names. But this is the squad
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: two years now on the road to the NBA Western
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Conference Finals. What is it going to take to get
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: over the hump? Another guard? And also to the thing
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: that disappointed me with the Minnesota Timberwells again Vince Right,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: the sports governor here on the Sports Done Right podcast,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: was the reliance on the three point shot because you
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: live by it, you die by it. And ant Man
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: just I don't know what it was, because I don't
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: know if he got tired as the season progressed and
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: his moves towards the basket and the slashing ant Man
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: that we know kind of decreased, but just the way
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: that you know the Wolves in general, but ant Man
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: too relying and just heaving up all these threes. I'm
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: just not a fan of it. I'm an old school guy.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I'm still looking for a center that will played down
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: in the low post because I think that an old
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: school center could totally dominate in today's NBA. But I digress.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: It was just disappointing in some of those games. You know,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: when you're taking thirty thirty, five, forty on up sometimes
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: three point attempts and missing most of them, it's gonna
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: make for a long night. And that's exactly what happened.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So I would hope that we could get some I
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: don't know, some plays just you know, yeah, and I
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: know we've said this about the NBA before. It just
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: come down give one guy the ball, everybody clears out isolation,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: and the guy either you know, tries to make his
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: move or hoist up a three. I would just like
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: to see, I don't know, the good I missed the
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: good old days of a triangle offense and then plays
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: being run and giving goals and stuff like that, because
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: I think that, Yeah, it really hurt the Timberwolves this
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: year because they couldn't make a lot of those threes
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: at times, and at some points their opponents were kind
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: of letting them toss it up on no nights they
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: weren't hitting them. So live by the three, die by
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: the three, and we will see what the Timberwolves do
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: beyond these draft picks here, free agents, you know, folks
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: who weren't drafted. We'll see what moves come over the
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: next few weeks as we go into the fall in
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: another basketball season and see if yet, see if the
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves can find a way and get to their
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: first NBA Finals. So all right, folks, with that being said,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get on out of here. Good to be back.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Like I said, we got Matt Jeffrey coming up here.
• 25:36
