Chancandrick West Sounds Like a Retirement Community with Di Murphy Oct 14, 2015

Show notes

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings (2-2) are off the bye week and are looking to get back to a winning record as we welcome in the suddenly faceless Kansas City Chiefs (1-4). With their superstar running back Jamaal Charles done for the season with a torn ACL, the Chiefs look to Charn... Charadr.... Running back C. West to help carry the load of a team that was already marginal on offense (even with Charles) and a usually solid defense that's suddenly tied for 30th in the NFL giving up 28.6 points per game.This seems like a favorable matchup at home, but us Vikings fans have seen these easy games go very kaddywampus. Di Murphy (@DiMurphyMN) stops in to talk about how we hope the Purple don't mess this up as we try to get win numero tres of the 2015 season.All that and other "Xavier in boxing gloves" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

If You Ain't First, You're Last - Vikings-Broncos Recap Oct 05, 2015

Show notes

Despite a valiant effort by the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings Defense and Teddy "Dave" Bridgewater, the Purple came up short Sunday afternoon in Denver 23-20. The Zimmer Hellfire Defense forced Peyton "Chicken Parm" Manning into two interceptions and his 2nd lowest QB rating of the season, but it wasn't enough in Mile High as a sluggish start, a faulty offensive line, and a lame kicker denied the Vikings a much sought after road win and leave them at 2-2 heading into the bye week. We discuss the gold and fool's gold from the game that was.Other "No Moral Victories" Talkers Include• My theory on why there were so many Vikings fans in Denver• That Zimmer Hellfire Defense Leads the Way• The Offensive Line Did Not• Anthony Barr is Becoming a Force• Harrison Smith is the Best Safety in the NFL• Teddy Ballgame• Mike Wallace BEASTED Today• Adam Thielen & Stefon Diggs Deserve to Eat• Robert Blanton is Still Blanton• Blair Walsh Needs a Fire Lit Under Him• Schedule After the Bye: 5-3 or 6-2 isn't crazy• Bye Week Podcast Schedule• Visit our new sponsor Stars Draft for Daily Fantasy Sports!• Bookmark us on Amazon & show some love!All that and other "We're On To The Bye Week" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!
