Sports Weekend with Steve Thomson

All apologies to the Hall of Famer Steve Carney

Steve and Lindsey messed up last hour. They detail what happened and how they’re going to make it up to Steve Carney. Heather Rule stops by to talk about the Olympic-laden Minnesota Frost who lost to Ottawa earlier this afternoon. Steve and Lindsey wrap the show talking about the final week in the NFL regular season and what games they would have to be paid to watch.

The Minnesota Frost are PACKED with Olympians

Heather Rule is an award-winning freelance sports journalist who covers the Minnesota Frost. The Frost lost earlier today 5-2 to the Ottawa Charge after a tough second period performance. Heather speaks to a wonky season it has been so far for the Frost, they’ve been on the road a lot (World Juniors) and an upcoming Olympic break. Six players made it from the Frost which is a league high.

New year, same SPORTS

The full first hour of The Sports Weekend with Steve Thomson. Guests include Steve Carney, Jess Myers, Chris Peters and Pat Coleman!

It's a big Sunday in River Falls

Pat Coleman from D3Football.com joins the show often during the college football season. He’s covering the NCAA Division III national championship game, where the University of Wisconsin River Falls will face North Central College. Pat runs through the big names on UWRF that will be featured in the championship game. North Central College has won a handful of natty’s already and has been in the championship in the past six seasons. It will be a tall task to wrap up a magical season for UWRF!

USA losing is a buzzkill but it’s been a great WJC in the Twin Cities

Chris Peters is a content manager at Flo Hockey and NHL Draft & Prospects Analyst. He’s been covering the World Junior Championships. Steve asks for Chris’ opinion on the event being hosted here. Chris still thinks the United States has a long ways to go in recognizing and following the tournament. They chat a bit about the broadcasting landscape and how having the tournament on NHL Network wasn’t great for streaming households. With their loss last night to Finland, Chris says this year’s performance is especially deflating for Team USA. Chris gives his thoughts on the remaining four teams.
