Every Monday at 8:30am StarTribune sports writer Michael Rand stops into the Morning Show to share the latest news in Sports.

1) The Twins are set to hire a new manager. Paul Molitor is expected to be formally introduced as manager on Tuesday, and we break down what it means.

2) Against the backdrop of a major protest of the Washington Redskins nickname, the Vikings rallied to defeat Washington 29-26 Sunday, once again proving that racism doesn't pay.

3) Ricky Rubio is going to grow old with us. Or at least older. As part of a newsy weekend he agreed to a 4-year, $55 million contract extension with the Wolves.
