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

1) The Super Bowl is Sunday, but all anyone wants to talk about are Tom Brady's deflated balls. Did the Patriots cheat last week? It's all in the eye of the beholder.

2) TwinsFest happened this past weekend and players sounded particularly upbeat about the upcoming season. Are there true reasons for optimism?

3) 140,000 people were in downtown St. Paul on Saturday for Red Bull Crashed Ice. I bet you are glad they went home before this morning.
