Purple FTW! Podcast

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.
Even with a good head coach and young franchise QB in place, the unavoidable talking point continues to be Adrian Peterson and his future with the Vikings. I open the show with my two cents on the current chapters in the AP drama.
Lindsey brightens up the show though as we skew positive and talk about the bright future of the Purple People Eaters as well as the young Timberwolves getting an old Timberwolf back in the fold!

“Uneasy” Talking Points Include:
• Andy opens with an Adrian editorial
• Vikings News
• Zimmer talks about Teddy & Cordarrelle
• Who I want in the Draft
• Vikings salary cap aka Bless you Rob Brzezinski
• Lindsey's cameo in Kare 11's Vikings Extra
• What happened LAST time she was on Purple FTW
• Thoughts on the Vikings 2014
• Norv & Teddy = Beautiful Marriage
• NFL Combine aka The Underwear Olympics
• Rick speak. Buying the Vikings unified front?
• Takes on Adrian's latest comments to Ben Goessling
• Who does Lindsey want in the NFL Draft?
• Teddy vs Johnny Football. Heh
• Timberwolves: Kevin Garnett is back! What does it mean for the team?
• Stone Cold Hot Take
• The Gauntlet
• What move would she make if she was Spielman for a day?
• Lindsey throws out a logic team for Adrian in 2015
• What happens first: Vikings make the NFC title game or Wolves make the playoffs?
• Which Vikings “Adam Thielens” it and have a breakout 2015?
• 2015 Record Predictions
• Online Dating chatter

All of this and other “Fool me three times, you're Norv Turner” shenanigans on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!

An Andy Carlson Joint.

Super Bowl Done. On to my 2nd favorite sport... NFL Offseason!

We've got some Vikings related HOT TAKES for your ear sensory organs. Now they're not "STONE COLD HOT TAKES", but they still have a little sizzle and should be enough to warm your heart even on the coldest winter day.

So grab some cocoa, put on the Netflix fake fire, and let Andy & Purple FTW burn down the house with Episode 99!

• Darrell Bevell will NEVER be an NFL Head Coach
• We've got OUR Brady & Belichick
• Jerick McKinnon will become a better Shane Vereen
• Greg Jennings is being Passive-Aggressive
• Benchwarmer Bob is 100% Right
• Duron Carter is Just a Guy (JAG)
• Manziel will be out of Football in 3-Years
• I don't feel bad for Kevin Williams
• Mick Tingelhoff should have been in the HOF YEARS ago
• 99% of Fan Reaction Videos are Fake.

All of this and other "1-4 in the Super Bowl ain't bad" shenanigans on the Purple FTW! Podcast!
