Episode 149: Vikings Talkers & Mini-Buccaneers Preview with Arif Hasan

Training Camp is over. REAL football is inching closer and our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings are gearing up to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Saturday night at The Bank in our 2nd preseason game of the season. Arif Hasan (@ArifHasanNFL) joins us for the first of his weekly Friday Football FTW! appearances this season. He'll drop some knowledge on us about Mankato wrapping up, Hall of Fame Game analysis, as well as if Tom Brady's uuuuugly courtroom drawing will knock him and Garoppolo from their perch as the best looking quarterback depth chart in the league.
