Show notes

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings (6-2) are preparing to enter palatial and historic O.co stadium Sunday afternoon to take on the Los Angeles Oakland Raiders (4-4). To get some insight on the opposition, we welcomed in Asher Mathews (@AsherMathews) of Thoughts From the Dark Side Raiders blog to talk a little Silver and Black.We talked about the Derek Carr-vs-Teddy Bridgewater debate, how our former boy Bill "3x5" Musgrave is doing things in Oakland, why the Zimmer Hellfire Defense™ vs said offense is the key to Sunday's matchup, how the Raiders defense can get got by Teddy and the Vikings, and I demand gratitude from Asher as we saved his franchise from the stank of Troy Williamson (because you know Al Davis would've loved that speed).All that and other "Vikings Fans are Sadomasochists!" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

Street Fightin' Vikings with Di Murphy Nov 10, 2015

Show notes

The war of words between Mike Zimmer and Jeff Fisher has spilled over into the following week. I say they just settle this the old school way... Street Fighter II: Turbo Edition battle. But that's just me...MOVING ON! The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings (6-2) are tied for the 5th best record in the NFL and have a share of the NFC North lead as we roll into Oakland to take on the suddenly not terribad Oakland Raiders and fellow sophomore quarterback phenom Derek Carr.We welcome Di Murphy (@DiMurphyMN) of The Daily Norseman back in to talk about the Lamarcus Joyner cheap shot on Teddy, the reputation of Gregg Williams and Jeff Fisher, how we can get a win Sunday in The Black Hole, and the absurdity of Stan Kroenke vs The Media's #Bathroomgate.All that and other "Belichick is M.

The Gregg Williams Network - Vikings-Rams Recap Nov 09, 2015

Show notes

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings grabbed a share of the NFC North lead with a rough and tumble 18-15 overtime win Sunday over the St. Louis Rams. That should be the headline, but it's not. All Vikings fans already hated defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. But now we somehow hate him with the fury of a thousand suns after something-called-Lamarcus Joyner threw his elbow into Teddy Bridgewater's face as the second-year quarterback was sliding. Us Vikings fans cannot separate the fact that we have history with Captain Bountygate, but I try not to dwell on that storyline as our 6-2 Vikes have a solid young team with a great leader in Mike Zimmer and may make some noise come playoff team. Heal up, Teddy and let's roll.Other "Gregg Williams Should Be Deported to Mars" Talking Points Include• I love you Mike Zimmer. So so much.• LOL Green Bay• Teddy Before the Cheapshot• Where You At Mike Wallace?• The Offensive Line is Back!• Old Adrian Peterson is Like 2013 Kobe• Linval Joseph for MVP• Containing Todd Gurley• Trae Waynes is a UFO• Stefon Diggs Held Quiet• Zimmer going for the Morninwheg in OT (But it worked and was smart)• Random Game Thoughts• On to Oakland• Bookmark us on Amazon & show some love!All that and other "Start Over" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

Nick Foleon Dynamite with Arif Hasan (Updated) Nov 06, 2015

Show notes

The Gurley-Adrian Tecmo Bowl is upon us and we got our man Arif Hasan (@ArifHasanNFL) of The Daily Norseman and Vikings Journal in the house to chat about the upcoming, sneakily important for the playoff picture match between our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings and the Los Angeles St. Louis Rams.We talk about the clash of two great defenses, if Teddy Bridgewater can put together a complete game, Aaron Donald or Anthony Barr, Nick Foles looking like John Heder, is Adrian Peterson actually a hindrance to this offense? And who has the edge in all of the various running back attributes: Todd Gurley II or Adrian Peterson in his prime?Arif and I also theorize that Todd Gurley might have his "Adrian-William Gay" moment on..... Sendejo.All that and other "We ALL have an uncle that looks like Jeff Fisher" 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.(Editor's Note: Audio update with current Arif interview.

Vikings Looper with Di Murphy Nov 04, 2015

Show notes

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings (5-2) are heading into the make-or-break portion of their schedule. Is this team a bunch of young pretenders or can they be legit contenders in Year Two of the Zimmer-Teddy Dynasty? We welcome back Di Murphy of The Daily Norseman to help sort things out.We chatted about: the Vikings doing nothing at the trade deadline (good), why Norv and Zim need to open things up for Teddy, how Kyle Rudolph's contract gets very interesting after 2016 (#FreePruitt), the fact that the Packers are vulnerable and can get got, and we also talk way too long about pizza and the Gophers' astonishing meltdown against Michigan.All that and other "Nick Foles looks like Napoleon Dynamite" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!
