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

Today Michael Rand chatted with The Morning Show's Jill Riley and Steve Seel about:

1) The Vikings had a chance to draft Johnny Manzi -- aka Johnny Football -- but passed on him on Thursday. What impact will that have on the franchise going forward?

2) Speaking of the draft, Michael Sam became the first openly gay player chosen in the NFL draft when he was picked by the St Louis Rams in the 7th round. What lies ahead and what does it mean?

3) The Wild is in a familiar spot, down 3 games to 2 against Chicago as the best of 7 series heads back to St Paul for Game 6 on Tuesday. Can Minnesota rally like it did against Colorado?
