Will Minnesota Vikings stick with Carson Wentz beyond Week 2?

There’s a particular flavor of sports talk that only comes from people who have lived through the cycles of hope and heartbreak specific to one place. Mackey & Judd--a Minnesota Sports Podcast is built on that foundation. It’s a conversation anchored by Phil Mackey and Judd Zulgad, two former beat writers who covered the Vikings and Twins, but it’s far from a standard recap show. Judd brings a lifetime of beer expertise and a healthy skepticism for the official narratives, often veering into sports conspiracy theory territory. Phil counters with his own deep dives into baseball’s nuances-he’s a vocal proponent of robot umpires-and an unabashed passion for professional wrestling. The dynamic is grounded by Executive Producer Declan Goff, whose three decades of enduring Minnesota sports failures provide a weary, often-mustached perspective. Together, they don’t just report on the games; they unpack the emotions, the absurdities, and the peculiarities of following teams in this market. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair at a local bar with friends who know the history intimately, argue passionately, and somehow find the humor in the perennial letdowns. It’s authentic, insider-driven commentary without the filter of network television, produced as part of the SKOR North network from Hubbard Radio. You’ll hear informed debate, unexpected tangents, and the kind of analysis that only comes from years on the beat and a genuine, if pained, investment in the outcome.
