    I knew as soon as you had a bullpen episode they were going to blow the next game.

    Great podcast! I met these guys at a Twin’s game and they are the real deal. Fun, funny, smart—and, good humans to boot! Thank you for the hours of entertainment!

    Best Pod Out There
    Love listening to these dudes talk about my favorite teams. They want success but they call things how they are. They are honest but love to dabble in any possible speculation no matter how crazy. I listen every single day. I hope Judd lives forever cause I never want these dude to stop cooking.

    Mackey is a hack
    Seriously, the worst part of twin cities sports media.
  • erinwanze
    A+++
    Love the show. Mackey, Judd and Declan are A+++ BUT oh my god stop having Dougie on. The way is constantly interrupting people makes it unlistenable.
  • Paul Roderick
    Love it, but…
    Reusse used to be charmingly curmudgeonly, bur now he’s just plain annoying. Won’t listen to any Reusse Unchained any more. Judd is over the top cynical. I get that it creates good fodder, but it get’s tiring. Other than that, great show. Love Write That Down, Random Athlete, and Immaculate Grid.
  • Dave Zbaracki
    Hilarious and informative
    These guys are my favorite radio or podcast show ever. The way Mackey, Judd, and Declan play off of each other is perfect. Demand more from your Minnesota sports teams!

    These guys are the best.
    Listen almost every day. Thanks for all you do for the Minnesota sports fan. -Travis

    Thank you
    Great show. I have never met Judd or Phil, but I feel as if they are my good friends. I’ve listened to this show in various forms for years while living in various cities outside of the state for work. As an introvert who also loves MN sports, I could count on these guys to make me feel as if I was at home hanging out with my friends and talking sports. 7 years later I’m still a fan and love the content. Everything from Write That Down to the Scoops with Doogie…I’ll be a listener for life. Really glad to see the success the SKOR platform has has shifting from traditional radio. Keep up the great work. Thank you for being a consistent source of humor, content, and of course hot takes. Hope to meet you all in person one day.

    Skol Mfr!
    Whether you personally like them or not, they speak the truth….with the only goal of a Vikings SB and the best way to get there.
  • Don "Radio" Anger
    I’m addicted.
    This is a must listen every day. (I’m a long suffering Vikings fan since 1/9/1977).
  • Emmpee
    Favorite thing ever!!
    I’m a Vikings fan first but Flagrant Howls is what I look forward to the most. You two are perfect playing off of each other.

  • yesterdayyousaidtmrw
    Ok.
    Good show. It can be hard to understand Declan at times because of how fast he talks. Would like if they had more guests on throughout the week as well. But perfect for catching up on mn sports during the drive home..

    Stop punishing Twins fans
    I hate it when you stop talking about the Twins as soon as YOU think they are done - even though their season is still going. Good sports reporters would talk about the team’s future, provide some good insights and prognosis of the players. Instead you punish Twins fans an ignore us.
  • turnerashby
    Love this series
    I would love to hear you guys do tombstone. Greatest western of all time
  • f the packers
    Action movie rewind
    You guys have to do tango and cash

    Flagrant Howls....
    ...is awesome. More please. Thank you, Lobo in LA
  • atmos21
    Great show
    As someone who lives out of state, the Skor North daily content is massive for me. I rarely miss an episode of either show. I appreciate people willing to tell it like it is and reject mediocrity despite the fact that “Minnesota Nice” has programmed most of your audience to accept it.

    All day
    I listen everyday! Funny and knowledgeable!

    Unbelievable show, changed my life.
  • Bizzle2511
    Almost perfect…
    My actual rating would be 4.9, but don’t want start with this show’s single shortcoming, because these guys are great. There’s no pretense and the hosts have found a way to seamlessly blend a consistent combination of honestly, humor, factual journalism and valid analysis. They drop episodes daily — and sometimes things can get a little heavy-handed with the sponsors and often feel awkwardly shoe-horned into the flow of the discussion — the subject matter never seems contrived. The regular segments are a great change-of-pace and each host brings something different to the table and possesses a unique strength and specialty. My only major issue is their affiliation with Doogie. He’s frequent guest, and even putting aside his strange on-air deliver, one only needs to browse his Twitter feed or Google his name on the World Wide Web to recognize why he’s probably not the best choice when attempting to build a decent report within the fan base. Regardless, I recommend Skor North to anyone looking for a show with a hyper-local, smart and distinctive format.

    Too much Football!
    I’m a huge Vikings fan but I’d like to hear more on the twins,wolves and wild.The football season is over now guys and I think a lot of us are getting awful sick of listening to stories like the offensive line coaching.
  • Jim (Aka) Vrod
    Coach
    Aww Harbaugh’ s hard on millionaire players and their feelings could be hurt! Give me a break, I’ve hated most of my bosses but I did get better at what I did for nowhere near a million bucks! #skol 😎
  • James McA.
    Best MN sports show!
    These guys are exactly what I want to hear! CHAMPIONSHIPS! They also know what they are talking about and they are so fun to listen to.
  • Minnetex
    Repetitive tangents and targets
    I love MN Sports and so I listened as long as I could stand it, but these guys are always returning to their tangents and targets for each sport and it gets so monotonous and leaves out of the discussion much about the teams I love. So for the Vikings no matter if he plays good or bad, you will hear a labored discussion of Kirk Cousins....Repetitive and lazy is the way to ruin MN Sports talk
  • BobBakken
    Trouble listening
    Having trouble listening to your podcasts. They show up as unavailable.
  • WC Dwightstone
    Reusse
    It’s unbelievable to me how Reusse is allowed to spew uninformed left wing rhetoric so often. If he were right wing instead he’d still be turning off 40%+ of listeners. On Michael Rand/Strib podcast they are able to effectively muzzle him. Just because you’re 80 or whatever and stupidly set in your ways it is not acceptable to sling such hate on the podcast airwaves. Oh that’s just Pat being Pat isn’t ok. He must go if continues to say anything political.

    Fun. Fun. Fun
    Real sports talk. With a strong dose of fun. These guys hold the teams accountable. But still have fun. Love it.
  • LongsufferingMNfan
    Stick to Sports
    What the heck is wrong with you guys? Do you really think we want to listen to your mindless idiotic banter on a romantic com chick movie. I’m embarrassed for you. You guys work hard and have good sport takes. Stick to sports.
  • tjkill81
    Entertaining
    It’s a good listen they are not afraid to call out the local sports teams and players. They have fun takes with their reckless speculation and action movie rewind. The only negative I have is their constant need to bring in their political views.
  • Patdiddy2000
    SKOR North
    I love listening to Mackey and Judd everyday while working or just relaxing at home. I’m glad they put things into people’s perspective as to all the sports teams with certain players, coaches and front office people. I love the action movie rewinds and the write that down segments. Randy from Cottage Grove and his Stud/Dud stable needs to stay on as part of the segments too.
  • The Scoop is trash
    Skor North needs to be put back on radio
    Love this station that doesn’t sip the purple koolaid like the other guys in this sports radio market. Appreciate how you guys talk about more than the vikings and even pay my sad Wolves attention when there is something to talk about with them. Might not agree with some of your takes but thats what sports radio is all about, ya’ll are well worth the listen.
  • KJC127
    Talk about reckless speculation...
    Wow, simply wow. “Execution”. “Cops killing black men happens all the time”. Check your facts gentlemen. Will check back in after a few weeks - at least try and be neutral.

    Mackey Judd and Ramie
    SKOR North podcasts have the best coverage of all Minnesota sports. They don’t sugarcoat anything, they are honest and they also have fun Miss them in the radio. Hands down best coverage.

    Best sports and entertainment podcast in Minnesota.

    Best MN Sports focused podcast in town
    Mackey and Judd are great. This is the podcast I look forward to every day. I wish it was longer it’s so good.

    Hang Tight
    I have been listening to SKOR North since it began about a year and a half ago. With the cutbacks during the pandemic, Mackey and Judd have become more important for me, as they provide a much needed distraction. They offer fresh content and opinions on Minnesota (and national) sports, and recently have expanded into reactions on recent events in the TC. Love that they’ve kept some of the old bits, introduced new ones and continue to bring Reusse on for his opinions! Keep your heads up guys, it may take a while but you’ll be able to take this thing off of pause and get back to the original mission of SKOR North!
  • JobuWho
    Where’s the sports?
    Nothing but social commentary all week. I’ve already got a higher rated sports channel in the area for that. Miss the sports.
  • Erik Ritland
    Eh
    ...eh.
  • McGive_It_To_Me
    Really Solid
    In a market where there are SEVERAL hosts on sports talk radio that either; are only interested in a couple of different sports, are burnt out on all sports, and/or can’t pretend to be interested in any sport, these guys care.
  • App works for me
    Best in town
    Best sports radio in town, hands down. Wasn’t sure about Ramie early but grew on me. Bring him back! Really appreciate the willingness to be critical of MN teams but also not afraid to give credit. Loved what Mackey and company did with the station reboot.
  • Timmyt64
    Judd is fine, but.....
    Mackey is arrogant and unlistenable. Guests who call in sound like they are in a canyon on Mars. You’d think Mackey would figure out how to fix that. Mackey was put in charge to revamp the show from it’s last bout of terrible ratings, he fixed nothing. Maybe he’s the problem. Get a better co-host Judd.
  • Minn Jad
    Entertaining and smart
    Good balance of sports and entertainment chatter. Still relevant and worth the time despite a lack of sports this year.
  • CoachCHR
    If you like endless dribble and few facts, this is the show for you.
    I tried to listen, really did. Just couldn’t take all the mindless chatter and lack of ingenuity.
  • lvleach
    Thank you
    So good to hear you guys on this podcast. Helps with chores around the house and it’s nice to have you on demand.
  • Kylie 💋
    Excellent
    These guys love MN sports but are not homer’s which is nice.
  • icedog4747
    Great show
    Good show. You should listen.
  • DarylScholz

    I have listened for a long time and they are great! Best in Minnesota sports!
