Minnesota Tim discusses the current state and potential future of Minnesota sports, comparing it to the historic success of Boston's teams in the 2000s. He emphasizes the high level of talent across Minnesota's major sports teams and argues that if they do not win a championship in the next decade, it would be a significant failure.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
I may regret sharing this episode and sharing this take,
but it's a take that I genuinely feel. And here
we go. Minnesota Sports, the Vikings, Wild, Timberwolves Twins could
(00:27):
be on a record setting historical pace, something that reminds
me of something that happened in Boston in the year
of the two thousands. So here we go. Let's talk
about it. But first I need to tell you about
five Star Bass Solutions of Minneapolis, because they transformed our bathroom,
(00:54):
not in six weeks, not in eight weeks, in forty
eight hours. And we're talking about fall bathroom, remodel, floor, shower, vanity, sink, everything.
We did not have to cram into our teeny tiny
bathroom downstairs for sixty eight weeks while this project got done.
Our main bathroom was done in forty eight hours, and
(01:17):
our bathroom was back in days and we couldn't have
asked for anything more. Our original bathroom was outdated, embarrassing, moldy,
and disgusting. They came in updated, gave it a facelift.
And here's the deal. It adds value to your house.
So it's an investment that pays off. You add value
(01:40):
to your house with kitchen and bathroom or models. Our
bathroom was remodeled in forty eight hours. Affordable pricing, free consultations.
Five Star Bath Solutions of Minneapolis is the way to
go if you want to remodel your bathroom. Five Star
Bath Solutions Minneapolis. All right, So, Minnesota Sports, this is
(02:04):
probably the hottest take that I've ever shared on this podcast.
Here's a little preview of what I'm kind of getting at.
It says this on wikipedia dot Com, the most reliant
of sites. In the two thousands, Boston's professional teams had
(02:25):
what was argued to be the most successful decade in
sports history, winning six championships, three by the Patriots in
two thousand and one two thousand and three two thousand
and four, two by the Red Sox two thousand and
four in two thousand and seven, and one by the
Celtics two thousand and seven two thousand and eight, while
also appearing an additional five times as league finalists. So
(02:53):
what I'm saying here on this podcast, Minnesota Sports will
not duplicate what Boston did in the two thousands, but
if they do not win a championship in the next
ten years, it will have been the most catastrophic failure
(03:15):
that the Minnesota sports scene has ever seen, because right now,
the collection of talent across the four major professional sports
teams has been as high as it has ever been
in Minnesota sports. Anthony Edwards leading a young and talented
(03:43):
Timberwolves roster with him and Jaden McDaniels and Julius Randall.
Rudy Gobert is aging, but he's still young enough to
compete for championships these next three or four years, and
then he's gonna be in his prime. So you got
players to add. Then J J McCarthy stepping in its
(04:04):
QB one. He's the unknown, but the roster is perfect,
a roster who k Adams, the host of fan Duel
Sports Network a show, predicts the Vikings to win the
Super Bowl. Sure, the Vikings are in the tough NFC
North with the Packers, Lions and Bears, oh mynd but
(04:25):
with the collection of talent that the Vikings roster has
accumulated via draft and via trades and via free agency,
this is the most talented roster that the Minnesota Vikings
have had top to bottom in a long time. The
(04:45):
Minnesota Wild are most likely going to resign Carel caprizof
and the amount of money that's off the books from
the contracts from Suitor and Perezy will be available to
spend to free agents and to resign Caprizov and to
bring other younger, fresher talented guys in the Minnesota Twins.
(05:11):
If Royce Lewis can somehow stay healthy, the Minnesota Twins
are a top team in Major League Baseball if they
can get a new ownership group in and actually buy
some talent. So the overall point is that the collection
(05:35):
of talent that you need, I'm talking about top end
talent that you need to win a title, some winner
across the four major sports. Is there the best players
on each roster and organization across the Minnesota Spars platform
(06:03):
caprizof Royce Lewis, Anthony Edwards, and Justin Jefferson, these are
all top professional athletes in their profession. When Royce Lewis
is healthy, he's a top Major League Baseball player. He's
probably top ten, top fifteen player. When Carel Caprizov is healthy,
(06:27):
he's a top ten NHL player. When Anthony Edwards is
playing his best basketball, and even when he's not, he's
a top ten NBA player. Same thing with Justin Jefferson.
He is a top ten NFL player and the best
at his position. And these players don't come around often.
(06:49):
I mean, think about where Minnesota sports was just ten
years ago. The Timberwolves sucked the Vikings up and down.
The hockey was nowhere close to as a lead as
it is now. And the Twins, yeah, they won some games,
(07:09):
but never really put it all together in the playoffs,
and that curse is broken. They won a playoff game
recently a few years ago. So my overall point is
that Minnesota sports, Okay, they won't be Boston then win
six titles in a decade across their sports. But if
(07:33):
they don't win at least one and break the what
thirty three year old curse, it's easy math because I
was born in nineteen ninety one, then everybody within that
organization that are the decision makers deserve to be fired.
(07:54):
Because the collection of top talent in Minnesota right now
is probably as great as it has ever been. Because
each team has a top ten player, if not a
top five player of their or in their profession on
(08:18):
their team. Now, you just got to build it so
it's consistent. And the Vikings have depth. They have the
top talent. A lot of it is dependent on how
McCarthy performs as quarterback. One, Anthony Edwards is soon becoming
the face of the NBA and is soon becoming a
(08:42):
superstar player. But can he ascend to that next level,
which it appears that he's doing in this playoffs right now.
And can the Timberwolves take Julius Randall in two three years,
Rudy Gobahert in two or three years, flip those guys
(09:02):
for some top young talent. Can Jada McDaniel's continue to
take those strides to that next level? Because if this happens,
you're looking at organizations within the Minnesota sports city and
state that could win multiple championships. The Timberwolves could win
(09:28):
a championship this year, The Vikings could win a championship
next year. The Twins they're not there yet. They need
some pitching and some arms and some better hitting. But
the Wild if they get some better talent around Caprizov,
(09:51):
they could be contending for a championship next year. So
this is the time to strike if you are cheering
for a Minnesota sports team or if you are a
Minnesota sports team, because Justin Jefferson's Anthony Edwards', Corel Caprizovs,
(10:15):
Royce Lewis's. These guys do not come around often, and
right now each team has one of those guys. So
if you are an owner and a general manager of
one of these teams, then you need to put a
(10:38):
great collection of players around these top talented individuals because
if you don't, these players are going to demand out
and then you're gonna be starting all over again, and
the thirty three years of a are gonna become fifty years,
(11:02):
will become seventy years. So now's the time. And what
you see is that the smart general managers are recognizing
that now is the time. Quesci and Tim Connelly are
(11:23):
recognizing that, yes, we have these top players on a
roster that don't come around often. So you see the
Vikings building a Super Bowl roster. You see Tim Connolly
building a roster that can compete for NBA championships. You
haven't really seen that yet with the Twins, and we
(11:47):
should start to see this offseason with the Minnesota whil
So the time is now the time to strike as hot.
The Irons are in the fire, build a collection of
rosters that can win championships, and I think they will.
(12:10):
I think a championship is coming to the Minnesota sports
platform and city in the next five years. In the
next five years, it's going to happen. The thirty three
year run of no championships will soon be over, and
(12:33):
the Minnesota sports city the four major sports. They will
no longer be the laughing stock of professional sports teams.
That's what I believe. Thank you for watching and for
