Thanksgiving Special: #TBT Interview with Paul Allen Nov 26, 2015

Show notes

Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful. It also falls on a #ThrowBackThursday, so it's good synergy to revisit one of my favorite podcast interviews, my chat with KFAN personality and Radio Voice of the Minnesota Vikings Paul Allen (@PAontheMic). The podcast has afforded me many opportunities to chat with some great guests and serve an audience of passionate Vikings football fans and for that I have a tremendous amount to be thankful for.So sit back and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family, watch some football, take a food coma nap, and if you have some time listen to PA and I talk some Vikings football from April (three weeks before the draft). It's funny to see where our hot takes when both right and wrong.An Andy Carlson Joint.Follow us on Twitter: @PurpleForTheWin - http://twitter.com/purpleforthewinVisit the Website: http://purpleftw.comSubscribe to Podcast on iTunes: http://purpleftw.com/itunesWe're also on Stitcher! http://purpleftw.com/stitcherBookmark us on Amazon & show some love! http://purpleftw.com/amazonMusic for the Purple FTW! podcast is created by & produced by deeB.To hear more of his tracks, check out http://soundcloud.com/deeb

#Faith Vikings-Packers Recap Nov 23, 2015

Show notes

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings fell to the Green Bay "our fans own stock, tee hee" Packers 30-13 Sunday afternoon at The Bank. The game was an opportunity to show the world that the Purple were more than just a young team on the rise, but we failed to do so due to mental mistakes, penalties and poor offensive line play. Ah well. The sun still rises tomorrow and we still get a chance to boatrace the Falcons next Sunday. Life at 7-3 is still darn good. But recap the game that was."Blerrrggggggg" Talking Points Include• Squirrel > Ragnar• The Offensive Line Regressed• Teddy Outplayed Rodgers• Norv Doesn't Do Teddy Any Favors• The Defense Did Not Have a Banner Day• The Vikings Beat the Vikings with Penalties• Eddie Lacy is Still Fat. (But Kinda Good Again)• Kyle Rudolph Love• Mike Wallace Shade• Adrian Was MIA• Not Ready For Prime Time?• James Jones Was Wearing a HoodieAll that and other "I Told You About the Shirts" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

Show notes

It's almost time to party. We're only two days away from our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings welcoming in the Green Bay 2nd in the Division Packers for the biggest throwdown of the 2015 campaign. We brought in our man Arif Hasan (@ArifHasanNFL) to help get us ready for Border Battle 1.0 as well as expand on his latest piece about chlling out on Teddy Bridgewater.Other topics include: why comparing Teddy to Alex Smith isn't necessarily an insult, how the Zimmer Hellfire Defense can put the clamps on Aaron Rodgers, why the Packers offense is suddenly anemic, what to expect from Teddy and the passing game against the suddenly not frisky so Packers defense, and why the Purple's recent record means absolutely nothing against the Green and Gold on Sunday.All that and other "T-Shirts Are Dumb" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!An Andy Carlson Joint.Read all of Arif’s stuff at The Daily Norseman and Vikings Journal as well as listen to his podcast Norse Code.Follow us on Twitter: @PurpleForTheWin - http://twitter.com/purpleforthewinVisit the Website: http://purpleftw.comSubscribe to Podcast on iTunes: http://purpleftw.com/itunesWe're also on Stitcher! http://purpleftw.com/stitcherBookmark us on Amazon & show some love! http://purpleftw.com/amazonMusic for the Purple FTW! podcast is created by & produced by deeB.To hear more of his tracks, check out http://soundcloud.com/deeb

Vikings-Packers Preview with Alex Gelhar of NFL.com Nov 18, 2015

Show notes

Border Battle 1.0 is nearly upon us. Will the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings assert their dominance over the NFC North or will the Green Bay Packers stage a second act comeback? We welcome in Alex Gelhar (@AlexGelhar), NFL.com Fantasy Writer and Packer apologist, to the show to dissect who will be Ronda Rousey and who will be Holly Holm Sunday afternoon at The Bank. (We're obvious Holly Holm.)We chatted about what Aaron Rodgers' deal is, if Adrian Peterson can keep up his historic 2012 pace, where the Vikings' passing game is going wonky, how the Zimmer Hellfire Defense matches up against the Packers offense, and much much more. Also I bug the heck out of Alex about my subpar fantasy team because YOLO.All that and other "BEAT GREEN BAY" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!
