Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts Friday's Daily Delivery podcast with a look at the Vikings and Gophers football teams. Both squads professed a desire for more offensive balance last season, with the Vikings looking to run more and the Gophers looking to pass more. But limited personnel and old habits led to more of the same for both Kevin O'Connell and P.J. Fleck. Is there hope for a different outcome in 2024?

11:00: Star Tribune Twins writer Phil Miller joins Rand to talk about Bally Sports North being back on Comcast, but at a higher pricing tier. Will sports fans stick with it after three months off the air? Plus an examination of the Twins' tepid trade deadline moves and a Carlos Correa update.

34:00: The Olympics have been great.
