KAXE Friday mornings feature "The Sports Page" and during World Cup season, "Futbol is Life!"

KAXE's Friday Morning Show has become sports central.

This week The Sports Page features the Minnesota Lynx, NBA and NHL finals and, begrudgingly, the Twins with Kyle Erickson, Fred Friedman, Megan Buffington, Malachy Koons and Heidi Holtan. And don't forget trivia from Senior Correspondent Scott Hall. (See below for questions!)

Futbol is Life on KAXE!

Then we welcomed DJ Dang and Chris Walker for World Cup passion and excitement because "Futbol is Life!" You can hear conversation about the beautiful game every Friday morning at 8:40 during World Cup season.

Take a listen to the conversations, and send us a text at 218-326-1234.
