Thursday's an off day for the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings in Mankato, but we're still on the grind with our man Daniel House (@DanielHouseNFL) of Vikings Corner. He stops in to recap the first week of Vikings Training Camp, show a little love to the nice surprises of camp (Danielle Hunter, MyCole Pruitt, Mike Wallace, Gerald Hodges, and Antone Exum), as well as some of the not so great surprises (You'll never guess who...).

All that and other "Is Yankey International?" chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!

The Minnesota Vikings continue to grind on in absolutely, in no shape or form, not hot and humid Mankato - The Crown Jewel of South Central Minnesota. Eric Thompson (@Eric_J_Thompson) of the Daily Norseman joins the show to talk about his exploits at Training Camp, which players are rising in Mankato (Teddy, Diggs, Kendricks, Exum) and which are falling (Kali, Babs, Waynes), as well as what it's like to walk away from exploding fire (the worst kind of fire) with Arif Hasan.

Our Minnesota Vikings Training Camp coverage rolls on (on down the line) with Austin Belisle (@austincbelisle) joining us talking about his journey from California to experience a real state. We also dig into what he saw during the fan tour of the new US Bank Stadium (The USB) pad, how the Vikings looked this afternoon in Mankato, and what it's like to be a foot+ taller than our homegirl Lindsey Young. Oh, and all of the awesome stuff he's been writing at Vikings Territory too.

All that and other "Mankato is South" chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!
