John-o-Logue: Chase Mason ready to rip it up, Vikings QB2 quandary, Mike Meyer becomes Canaries' all-time wins leader

Happy Hour with John Gaskins

It isn't unreasonable to be unsure of if Chase Mason will perform at a championship level as South Dakota State's new starting quarterback. After all, he has never started a game at SDSU — only backup and wildcat action — and he hasn't played a full game as a starting quarterback in six years, back to his junior year in high school.

But based off his reaction in a Happy Hour interview last week to a Zach Borg question about that lag time at QB1, it would be foolish to doubt Mason's moxy nor the possibility that will tear up most of his opposing defenses.

Happy Hour host John Gaskins explains why one snicker and one statement from that Borg interview said a lot about what to expect from Mason.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings have a massive QB2 quandary. Sam Howell's rating in Saturday's preseason game was 0.0. Should the team look for outside help, or can Howell and couple others be trusted, based off either NFL experience or camp performance?

Nobody trusts the Minnesota Twins owners anymore, not after the July 31 fire sale and certainly not after the Pohlads announced they aren't selling the team after all. Hear from one deadly, dead-on remark that summed up the family's legacy.

Finally, Mike Meyer became the Sioux Falls Canaries' all-time winningest manager with the Birds' 7-6 win at Lincoln on Sunday. Hear why Meyer and the Canaries owners deserve a mountain of appreciation that has led to a likely third consecutive winning season and playoff spot after over a decade in the dark.
