The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings look to reload and take another step forward in the 2016 season. To do so, Rick Spielman will have to work his magic once again and supplement the already young and talented roster with players who will help push Mike Zimmer and his crew over the hump. Grab a coffee and come on in. Let's talk some Vikings! |

The NFL Combine kicks off this Friday in Indianapolis. All of the NFL GMs, scouts, executives, coaches, etc are descending on Lucas Oil Stadium (but really St. Elmo's) to scope out the next crop of NFL talent as the young men compete in events tangentially related to the game of American Football, all while wearing their skivvies. Luke Inman (@Luke_Spinman) is back in the house to tell us about what matters at the Combine, what doesn't and what Vikings fans should look for this weekend. Also I try to stump Luke in a festive round of NFL COMBINE TRIVIA! All that and other "Underwear Olympics" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast.

(Excerpt from Episode 252) Jared Allen was one of my favorite all-time Vikings. Fun on the field, fun off the field and a solid example to NFL players -- and all of us really -- how you can get your life in order and do good in the world. All while being yourself. Culinary Academy. An Andy Carlson Joint |

Hey Purple FTW! Fans. I've got a new project called (narcissistically enough) The Andy Carlson Show. It's a 5-day a week podcast where I talk about Sports... And other stuff. So if you enjoy my mediocrity here, enjoy my mediocrity there by checking out the site and subscribing on iTunes. --- Valentine's Day came and went and ironically the sports news was hot and heavy over the weekend too. I recap the goings on in Five Things as well as give the low-down on what The Wife and I did over the weekend (get your mind out of the gutter). Also Jensen's in Eagan is #Elite. Today's Five Things Are An Andy Carlson Joint |

Winning free agency is NOT the key to success (i.e. Washington in the 2000s, Tampa Bay two years ago), but it's still a lot of fun to see your favorite team pick up pieces that could help them next season. I take a dip into the free agent pool and come up with 5 names Vikings fans should keep and eye on as March 9th approaches. All of the guys I picked are for positions of need and will not necessarily break the bank or be household names, but will help this team (ala Linval Joseph and Captain Munnerlyn two season ago). Also I run through the current list of Vikings free agents and definitively say if they'll be back or yee gon.

The Super Bowl is in the books, but the NFL train keeps rolling on into draft season. We welcome Luke Inman (@Luke_Spinman) back to the pack to chat about what the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers should be looking for in April's annual culling of collegiate talent. I'm gonna guess the Panthers could use some offensive line help......... |

As listeners of Purple FTW! know, Andy is pretty lazy. Therefore I've passed the buck along and we have a new producer in the fold by the name of Daniel Paluch (@DanielPaluch). During the show we talk about what the hell a podcast producer does (I still have no idea), suss out how he did prepping for his first show, fill you guys in about the first time I met Daniel in Mankato (#BackSweat) and even talk a little Minnesota Fightin' Vikings. All that and other "Get My Coffee" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast. An Andy Carlson Joint Daniel is a Vikings writer at Pro Football Spot. Hit up his stuff!
