We get it. Adrian likes shrimp. Just STOP EATING IT THE DAY BEFORE A GAME IF THAT REALLY IS WHY YOU GOT SICK.
Speaking of shrimp, the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings' fortunes have been very small in Chicago, going winless in the Windy City since 2007. Arif Hasan swings in to talk about how the Purple can right the ship in Chi-town and improve to 5-2 on the season. We also get into the impact of rookies Eric Kendricks (NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month for October) and the electric Stefon Diggs, how the Vikings are going to stop the beast Pernell McPhee, trades we'd like to see before the Tuesday deadline, and I share my World Famous Shrimp Cocktail recipe.
All that and other “WHO'S GONNA COVER KEVIN WHITE???” nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!

Bacon, red meat and all processed meats cause cancer now. Don't care.
What I DO care about is a long-form podcast talking Vikings and other Minnesota sports with Tom Schreier of Cold Omaha (with Di out sick this week). I chew the (bacon) fat with Tom about the outlook of the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings, why the Stefon Diggs-vs-Odell Beckham Jr will be a debate soon, a remembrance of the late Flip Saunders, a beat writer's take on Torii Hunter, and why the Vikings need to BRING BROCK VEREEN ON THE ACTIVE ROSTER AND START HIM OPPOSITE OF HARRISON.
Warning: This episode is primarily Vikings based but we venture off quite a bit into Wolves and Twins.
All that and other "We started Jim Bob Cooter" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings got their second divisional road win since 2009 Sunday afternoon at Ford Field, rebounding from a slow start to top the Motor City Kitties 28-19. The Zimmer Hellfire Defense sacked Matthew Stafford seven times en route to a 2nd half defensive shutout as the Purple roll to 4-2 and hope to catch playoff momentum as we barrel along the 2015 campaign.
Other "I Still Think It Was Shellfish" Talkers Include • #SnuffGate • Stefon F. Diggs • Teddy is Tougher Than a $2 Steak • The Zimmer Hellfire Defense Rebounded Well • Adrian is Feast or Famine.

Thee Arif Hasan makes his weekly pitstop to talk about our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings (3-2) and how we look to move two games above .500 in this 2015 season.
Topics include: Why Stefon Diggs is the greatest thing since sliced bread, how Harrison Smith is somehow still underrated nationally, how the cornerback room will shake out with Captain Munnerlyn balling and Josh Robinson coming off of PUP, and if Vikings fans should fear Matthew Stafford getting back to just throwing up YOLO balls to Megatron as the crux of their offense.
All that and other "The Twin Cities hottest club is SPY-SEE. This place has everything." nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings are looking to get win cuatro of the 2015 campaign as they descend on Motown to take on the uno-and-five Detroit Motor City Kitties Sunday afternoon at Ford Field.
We welcome back friend of the show Michael Grey (WBBL Grand Rapids) to talk about the Purple and the Blue and who will suck less in the Week 7 throwdown. Topics include: Is Stefon Diggs Antonio Brown? (Not Yet), Matthew Stafford should just YOLO the ball to Megatron like he's always done and if a banged up Lions defense can shut down Adrian (Loss of One) Peterson.

Today is the day Marty McFly came to the future. So it makes sense that we go BACK to October 26, 1985
Di Murphy of The Daily Norseman makes her weekly stop to talk about everything Minnesota Fightin' Stefon Diggs Vikings related. We chat about the impact of the mercurial wideout and if he can sustain his initial success, how badly we want to get in on the Vikings Donut Club, how Harrison Smith is STILL somehow underrated, and if we're scared about going into Detroit to take on the (1-5) Motor City Kitties on Sunday.

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings held off the Kansas City Chiefs 16-10 Sunday afternoon at The Bank in a game that more resembled a rugby match if said match had bad officiating, sloppy play, and was nearly unwatchable. But other than that, the game was great! A win is a win in the NFL and we dive into the reasons for the elevation to 3-2 and why we damn near lost it all.
Other "Bye, Charles Johnson" Talkers Include • We Tried to Lose. The Chiefs Wouldn't Let Us. • Teddy Bridgewater Was Uneven • Oh Hai, Stefon Diggs • Adrian. Yuck. • The Zimmer Hellfire Defense Will Be the Best in the NFL • Sharrif Floyd is Elite & Underappreciated • Eric Kendricks First Start • #FreePruitt • Blair Walsh Didn't Mess Up. Cool.

All six Minnesota Fightin' Vikings wide receivers may be active for Sunday's game versus the (1-4) and reeling Kansas City Chiefs. Mike Wallace is safe, but who will land the snaps for the rest of the season?
THIS. IS VIKINGS WIDE RECEIVER IDOL.
Arif Hasan stops by for his weekly spot to discuss who has the upper hand to win the honor of catching Teddy's balls, why offensive line play is terrible league wide, who will finally win the damn safety job opposite Harrison, and I rename NFL teams to more accurately depict their fanbase/city.

Phil Mackey of 1500 ESPN swings in to chat about the 2-2 Minnesota Fightin' Vikings, why they (and fans) shouldn't be overlooking the Jamaal Charles-less Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday, and how the Purple look to fare down the stretch of 2015.
We also get into his rise to power in Twin Cities sports talk radio (basically Narcos), the reaction to his infamous Adrian Peterson apology letter, what it's like to be the second most famous person in a relationship (ala Christian Ponder) and who would square off in his dream pro wrestling match.

Former Minnesota Golden Gopher and Baltimore Raven wide receiver Ron Johnson (FOX 9/KFAN) stopped in to talk about our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings as we come out of the bye week. We touched on what attributes make Teddy Bridgewater special, Ron ranks the current corps of Vikes wideouts, how Mike Zimmer's defense is starting to resemble the great Ravens defenses of the 2000s, and why his former teammate Jamal Lewis' 295 game might still be the NFL record.

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.

THEE Arif Hasan (@ArifHasanNFL) swings by to talk a little Purple. Whether he liked the Gerald Hodges trade or Wants Him Back, if new center Nick Easton can help the offensive line get N*SYNC, why Norv needs to spend A Little More Time worrying about Teddy Dave Bridgewater, and we cast Vikings: The Sitcom.

Luke Inman of eDraft stops in to talk some Minnesota Fightin' Vikings to fill up the Bye Week with some audible goodness. We touch on how the offensive line can get right in two weeks (it probably can't), Teddy out-dueling Peyton Manning (no big deal), the new logjam at wide receiver, how that Zimmer Hellfire Defense is saving us, and if Blair Walsh is gonna get Scobee'd or Mason Crosby'd.
We also dive into Luke's specialties of fantasy football and the rapidly approaching 2016 NFL Draft. Check out all of Luke's videos on the eDraft YouTube page.

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!

Jenna King-Shepherd, wife of Minnesota Fightin' Vikings rookie offensive lineman Austin Shepherd, joined the show to talk about all things Purple (and some Crimson). We chatted about life as a football wife, the Austin Shepherd Foundation, transitioning to living in the Northstar State coming from Alabama, and I run her through a round of Minnesota Trivia!
Be sure to check out Jenna's female-friendly Viking clothing line Pretty Wolf, dropping this fall.
