Episode 103 - House of Vikes with Brandon Warne of 105 the Ticket - Purple FTW! Podcast Mar 02, 2015

Show notes

Brandon Warne (@Brandon_Warne) of 105 The Ticket, Fangraphs, and Sports Data LLC stops by to talk Twins baseball as well as our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings. Went baseball today because spring is around the corner, pitchers and catchers are already at spring training, and there's only so much Adrian Peterson f***** speculation that the human mind can take. Plus what better way to wait for training camp in Mankato than grabbing a beer and watching the Twins give it their best at Target Field? Vikings wise, the Adrian drama continues to unfold as he won his appeal in Federal Court. Even though the NFL is appealing, this will give the Vikings flexibility with what it wants to do with the 30-year old running back once the new league opens on March 10th. Boys of Summer Talking Points Include:• Vikings News• The mandatory Adrian Peterson talking point• Free Agent Cuts: Who the Vikings might chase• Current Vikings who might get cut• Purple FTW! Draft Wishlist – Volume 1• New Viking Brandon Bostick talks death threats• Fanspeak love.

(Sano, Buxton)• Paul Molitor as a manager• Torii Hunter: Legit or Schtick?• Phil Hughes' attempt to repeat history• Can Joe Mauer bounce back?• Ervin Santana: FA splash. Worth the money?• Twins or Wolves• Thoughts on the 2014 Vikings Season• Adrian's 2015 team is _____.• If you were Spielman, what would you do this offseason?• The maturation of Teddy Bridgewater• Brandon's STONE COLD HOT TAKE• 5 years from know, where will 105 The Ticket be in the Twin Cities sports radio hierachy? • THE TWINS HAVE A GUY NAMED MARK HAMBURGER• My “House of Cards” Season 3 rant.

Show notes

Lindsey Young (@LindseyMNSports) rejoins the show to talk about our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings as we head into the offseason of Year 2 of Teddy & Zimmer.
