The columnist doesn’t mince words when discussing who should take the fall
for the Lions’ loss of a 17-point lead in the NFC title game during his monthly
chat with host Michael Rand. Talk about TwinsFest, the Wild, and the Wolves.
Columnist Patrick Reusse from the Star Tribune joins presenter Michael Rand
in reviewing the sports events of the previous weekend. The main topic of
discussion and a long-lasting debate will be whether head coach Dan Campbell
and the Lions made a mistake by being overly aggressive on fourth down
attempts, which helped San Francisco pull off a victory in Sunday’s NFC
championship game. To put it simply, Reusse says it all: Campbell was a fool.
Following yet another disappointing loss to the Spurs, there is new cause for
concern over the Timberwolves. Is there a lull in the recent slippage against
inferior teams, or is this the beginning of a second-half collapse?
In the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday, the Minnesota Twins
defeated the Detroit Tigers 4-1 thanks to home runs from Edouard Julien and
Willi Castro.
The Miami Marlins won their first game at home this season on Saturday,
defeating the Atlanta Braves 5-1 thanks to a home run by Josh Bell and six
innings of one-run relief from Max Meyer.
With their first home win of the season, the Boston Red Sox defeated the Los
Angeles Angels 7-2 on Saturday, thanks to a deep two-run home run by
Triston Casas in a four-run first inning. The victory also solved the team’s
defensive woes for the entire season.
