Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Lynx, who open the WNBA Finals tonight at New York. Minnesota won three out of four against the Liberty this season, but New York seems to think those games weren’t representative of how this series will go. Can the underdog Lynx win a fifth WNBA title? Plus drama elsewhere in New York, where the Jets fired their coach. Is Aaron Rodgers in the middle of it all?
Podcast: The Wild have hope as season starts, but is that a plan?
