Souhan; Towns Injury Really Hurts Timberwolves [PODCAST]
The Timberwolves are off to a 2-1 start but have lost top player Karl-Anthony Towns with a wrist injury for an indefinite period of time. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says Towns could be out for weeks with this injury. Jim says the Timberwolves played well in victories over Detroit and Utah before struggling without Towns Sunday night against the Lakers. Souhan says their team defense improved and specifically highlighted Towns defense. Rookie Anthony Edwards and 2nd year wing Jarrett Culver both looked good in the two wins as well. Listen to our conversation below.

Antoine Winfield Sr. stood 5- 8¾ and weighed 176 pounds when NFL teams were poking and prodding the Ohio State cornerback during the 1999 NFL Scouting Combine.
Somewhere back in the Buckeye State, Antoine Winfield Jr. was six months old and filled with the genes of a 5-9 tackling machine.
Wade Phillips, a pretty good judge of defensive talent, was Buffalo s head coach and vice president of football operations. He overlooked the elder Winfield s undersized stature and drafted him in the first round, 23rd overall.
Phillips defensive coordinator was Ted Cottrell, who would later coach Winfield as Vikings defensive coordinator. Cottrell signed off on the pick the moment he turned the game film on.

At the end of a year where he added a high-profile role as an activist to a history of behind-the-scenes work on social justice issues in the Twin Cities, Eric Kendricks is the Vikings nominee for the NFL s Walter Payton Man of the Year award.
The Vikings recognized Kendricks as their 2020 Community Man of the Year, and officially put him in the running for the league s highest off-field honor, in a ceremony on Wednesday afternoon.
After co-owner Mark Wilf and General Manager Rick Spielman praised the All-Pro linebacker for his work in the community, and before he took questions from reporters, Kendricks became the interviewer and took time to highlight the work of three organizations with whom he s been involved for several years: the All Square Institute, Every Meal and the Hennepin County Juvenile Detention Center.
