Podcast: A bad loss for Wolves; an apology for ex-Vikings coordinator Ed Donatell?

Host Michael Rand starts with the Timberwolves' 103-101 loss to a Bucks team that was missing its two best players. Sure, Minnesota is also shorthanded. But this was a loss they couldn’t afford, and it came on a night where Anthony Edwards shot a dreadful 10 for 33.

The path from the Packers to the Jets to the Vikings was paved by Brett Favre. But Aaron Rodgers following the same path just doesn’t make the same amount of sense it did in 2009.
