Crystal Balling the Fringe Vikings Guys Aug 24, 2016

Show notes

90-man rosters are like an episode of Game of Thrones: Not everyone is going to make it. But what lies ahead for some of these fringe Minnesota Vikings players that are likely to be cut in the next two weeks? I do my best Miss Cleo (RIP) impression and look into my magic ball to see the future of these players. Some of their futures include football. Some include being a manager at HuHot. All that and other "CALL ME NOW." chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!

Vikings-Seahawks Recap - So How'd Teddy Look? Aug 19, 2016

Show notes

Teddy Bridgewater didn't play in a game that doesn't matter, but Vikings fans still freaked out. The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings mercifully ended their late start game with the Seattle Seahawks. Here are a few half-awake thoughts. Tonight/This Morning's Talking Points Include: • Why Didn't Teddy Play? • Shaun Hill Looked Good Enough • WTF, Joel Stave • Well Hello Cordarrelle Patterson • Adam Thielen is WR3. Period. • Lack of Running Game This Preseason is Worrisome • Kyle Rudolph Is Alive • CJ Ham is RB4 • Vikings Defense Played Well, BUT.... • Everson Wants 20 Sacks and Might Get It • Danielle Hunter is a Man • We're In Good Hands with Our Backup Defensive Tackles • LOL Antone Exum • Michael Griffin Time with the ones with Harrison • Terence Newman is no longer a starting caliber CB. Major regression from 2015. • Secondary Cannot Catch • Marcus Sherels Saved Us From Preseason Overtime • Blair Walsh finally kicked a 27-yard FG • Jeff Locke was Horrible All that and other "Shaun Hill is Trade Bait" chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW!

Andy's #TooSoon Vikings 53-Man Projection Aug 10, 2016

Show notes

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings begin their two days of practice with the Cincinnati Bengals before Friday's first preseason game in Southern Ohio (but really Northern Kentucky). Mankato Training Camp is in the rear view mirror. Impressions were made, but still plenty of time for jobs to be won or lost. But that won't stop us from recklessly speculating who will (Teddy Bridgewater) and who won't (Antone Exum) be in Purple to start the 2016 season. Follow along with our 53-man roster projection on the Google Doc. All that and other "I MADE THE ROOSTER!" chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!
