MN sports roundup: Going long on the new Vikings GM
The Super Bowl is coming up, and of course the Vikings won't be there — but they did make some news this week.
With more on that, host Cathy Wurzer was joined by Wally Langfellow, founder of Minnesota Score magazine and co-host of the "10,000 Takes" sports talk show, and Eric Nelson, the other host of "10,000 Takes" and the Minnesota Vikings reporter for CBS Sports Radio’s "Eye on Football."
Langfellow and Nelson went long on the Vikings’ new general manager — Princeton-educated former Wall Street trader Kwesi Adofo-Mensah — who was hired away from the Cleveland Browns.
Plus: A high schooler’s economic argument for changing Super Bowl Sunday to Super Bowl Saturday gains traction, the Timberwolves are still looking good and former Minnesota Twin David Ortiz (the one that got away) is inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
