    Raiders Dysfunction, Kyler Murray’s Vikings & true MLB contenders | A Must Win Game

    On this episode of A Must Win Game with Maggie Gray, Maggie takes on the latest NFL storylines, makes a bold Minnesota Vikings playoff prediction, and welcomes St. Louis Cardinals host and reporter Dani Wexelman for an inside look at Major League Baseball. First, Maggie breaks down the dysfunction surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders after veteran stars Maxx Crosby and Kirk Cousins got into a training camp scuffle that resulted in both players being suspended. These are established NFL veterans who know better—but what does this kind of chaos say about the Raiders organization? More importantly, how could a dysfunctional Raiders franchise affect the development of future quarterback Fernando Mendoza? Maggie explains why she's genuinely concerned about Mendoza's future in Las Vegas and questions whether Tom Brady's involvement with the Raiders has produced the kind of organizational transformation many expected. Then Maggie makes a bold NFL prediction: she's buying the Minnesota Vikings as a playoff team. After Kyler Murray won the Vikings' starting quarterback job over J.J. McCarthy, Maggie argues that the quarterback competition may have been one of the easiest of Murray's career. But could Minnesota be the perfect environment for Murray to resurrect his NFL career? The Vikings face a brutal NFC North that includes the Lions, Packers and Bears—but Maggie is going out on a limb and predicting Minnesota will somehow make the playoffs. Then, Dani Wexelman, host and reporter for the St. Louis Cardinals, joins Maggie for a wide-ranging conversation about baseball and life inside an MLB clubhouse. Dani discusses: Why the St. Louis Cardinals may be ahead of schedule The Cardinals' future and direction Her thoughts on the Los Angeles Dodgers The New York Yankees and their expectations What it's like being a woman working inside the clubhouse of professional athletes Her experience covering Major League Baseball The changing landscape of sports media and baseball coverage TOPICS COVERED 🏈 Las Vegas Raiders dysfunction 🏈 Maxx Crosby and Kirk Cousins training camp scuffle 🏈 Fernando Mendoza and his future with the Raiders 🏈 Tom Brady and the Raiders 🏈 NFL quarterback development 🏈 Kyler Murray and J.J.
