  • Jdosen
    Like talking sports with your dad's smart friends
    Title says it all. They're the best.
  • #1 Glen Mason fan
    Great show
    MN sports talk with an occasional random Rudy Perpich joke thrown in
  • GrumpyToad
    Sports
    I listened to this once.
  • Arctic Hermit
    This is my favorite podcast
    It is. This is my favorite. Is the audio great?Not always. But do they bash Rick Spielman into the friggin’ ground? The guys started The Sportive, a Minnesota-sports themed show, about the time I moved out of state for the first time. I wasn’t able to sit around with my friends debating whether Jason Bartlett was going to fail as a super-utility player. But listening to these guys felt like the next best thing. I don’t know if someone outside Minnesota would understand much of it, but for those that do it’s a funny and interesting conversation that touches on sports, #dadtalk, and Clarence’s quest for tenure at St. Olaf.

    Funny
    All I'm doing is asking questions.
  • AG The Sportive Fan
    Great show
    I love this podcast. Been listening since the start. Fun banter, good discussion of all sports, and great personalities. All of the hosts are handsome, too.
  • emoeby
    5 Stars! Great show!
    Audio quality is similar to listening to AM radio underwater with apple earbuds in and the hosts don't really know much about sports and it's a can't miss show. The early episodes are something
  • avmusicman
    MN sports, kinda
    They sorta talk about sports, which is funny when they do. It's also funny when they don't.
  • FRGFBS
    Sound Quality is Awful
    How can there be 100+ episodes of these guys. This is totally unlistenable. I'd ask for my money back but at least it was free. Invest in some equipment and build a base. Until then, bye!

    MN Sports
    Great show, just wish they had at least one good team to talk about.
  • Fake Pastor Trike
    Do yourself a favor, listen.
    Behind a Minnesotan accents as deep as Superior, a MN sports podcast does everything it can to not talk about how terrible out teams are. It has everything from ketchup rants to minor league scouting. Clarence for president.
  • Ian MN T-PUPS
    Solid show
    Good conversation, only thing knocking it down is sound quality problems, the guys all use Skype in, and sometimes they'll get dropped. Other than that, very good show.
