The Week 15 showdown between the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings and the Chicago Windy City Bears is nigh!

I Got These Cheeseburgers Man with Arif Hasan Dec 10, 2015

Show notes

Well at least #CheeseburgerGate was a fun distraction as the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings limp into University of Phoenix Stadium tonight to take on the red hot 10-2 Arizona Cardinals. All the odds seem stacked against the 8-4 Purple as we struggle to keep our playoff hopes alive. At least McDonalds gave the team 100 burgers though...Arif Hasan (@ArifHasanNFL) joins us for his weekly spot and we chat about how the Vikings can attempt to right the ship out in the desert. We also touch on whether Norv Turner needs to be fired for not catering to Teddy Bridgewater, if Adrian Peterson has a right to gripe about his usage, how the Zimmer Hellfire Defense can rebound from all of the injuries, and I complain about Jarius Wright not being a "true" slot receiver.All that and other "I got the burgers that... will... I just got burgers" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

The Walking Vikings with Di Murphy Dec 09, 2015

Show notes

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings are limping into Thursday's showdown with the 10-2 Arizona Cardinals in a game that most Purple supporters are dreading. After the 38-7 dismantling at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, even the most fervent Purple Kool-Aid drinkers are anticipating an ass kicking on Thursday and us falling to 8-5. It's possible. It's also possible the Vikings blow the Cardinals out by thirty because football is stoopid.Di Murphy (@DiMurphyMN) of The Daily Norseman makes her weekly appearance to vent about the Seahawks game, complain that we have no healthy safeties left, talk about how Teddy Bridgewater is being shafted and if the Vikings truly have to worry about missing the playoffs.All that and other "I'm Glenn" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

NFL Draft Forecast: Offensive Linemen - Got Beef? with Luke Inman Dec 08, 2015

Show notes

For the second straight season, Teddy Bridgewater is operating behind a sub-par offensive line. And with the status of veterans John Sullivan and Phil Loadholt up in the air for 2016, the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings need to look for some new hosses up front in the upcoming Draft. Our man Luke Inman (@Luke_Spinman) of eDraft and Cold Omaha drops some knowledge on some o-line names to keep an eye on as draft season nears. Hopefully one (or more) of these dudes can keep Teddy on his feet.Offensive Line Prospects Include• Laremy Tunsil, OT Ole Miss• Ronnie Stanley, OT Notre Dame• Taylor Decker, OT Ohio State• Jack Conklin, OT Michigan State• Cody Whitehair, G Kansas State• Spencer Drango, G Baylor• Vadal Alexander, G LSU• Landon Turner, G North Carolina• Nick Martin, C Notre Dame• Dan Voltz, C Wisconsin• Max Tuerk, C USCAll that and other "I miss Charlie Johnson" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

Vikings-Seahawks Recap - It's Not Over Dec 06, 2015

Show notes

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings got embarrassed by the Seattle Sea-Chicken Seahawks Sunday afternoon at The Bank 38-7. The final score was not indicative of how one-sided the game was as the Purple defense gave up 38 points and 433 yards of offense to Seahawks, while Teddy and the Vikings offense was shutout and only had 4 snaps on the Seattle half of the field. It was an eye opening game for a team that has a short week and the 10-2 Arizona Cardinals on Thursday. We recap the game the was and remind ourselves that our season isn't over. Just like when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

"Good Teams Don't Get Curb Stomped at Home" Talking Points Include: • What does it mean to be a "true" fan? • The Zimmer Hellfire Defense Was Non-Existent • At Some Point Teddy Bridgewater Runs Out of Excuses • Norv Turner Needs to be Fired • Brandon Fusco is Terrible • Adrian Peterson Wasn't a Factor • Where Did Stefon Diggs Go? • Antone Exum is Our Man • Penalities Have Been Killing Us • No Time to Hang Our Heads

All that and other "Crushed Like a Grape" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!

An Andy Carlson Joint.

Vikings-Seahawks Preview with Dayna O'Gorman Dec 03, 2015

Show notes

If the playoffs started today, the 3-seeded Minnesota Fightin' Vikings would be hosting the 6-seed Seattle Seahawks. Which makes Sunday's showdown at The Bank both a potential playoff preview and an opportunity for a statement win as the Purple look to solidify our playoff position as the 2015 season barrels on.Dayna O'Gorman (@DaynaOG) of the NFL Female Podcast rejoins the show to talk about how her beloved Seahawks and Legion of Boom Legion of Whom will matchup against Teddy Bridgewater and The Zimmer Hellfire Defense.We also recap her emotions after last year's Super Bowl, why Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas get more buzz than Harrison Smith, how Russell Wilson and Teddy are more similar than not, why the 2015 Vikings and the 2013 Seahawks are alike, and if young Thomas Rawls can go yard-for-yard with Adrian PetersonAll that and other "Sherman's gonna blanket Mike Wallace" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!
