On the first installment of PURPLE FTW! JUSTICE, we make a ruling on the case of "Super Bowl XLIX".

Representing the Seattle is Dayna O'Gorman (@DaynaOG), host of the NFL Female podcast and rabid Seahawks fan. She was a member of the "12s" back when they were terrible, so you know that she's legit.

General counsel for New England is Tom Murphy (@TMurph207), operator of sportsinfusion.net and all-around Boston sports aficionado.

Both sides will present their cases and the Honorable Andrew Jerome Carlson will act as judge, jury, and executioner on this matter on the maiden voyage of PURPLE FTW! JUSTICE.

Our Minnesota Vikings went out on a high note Sunday as the Men of the North held off the Chicago Bears 13-9 Sunday at The Bank.

The Vikings end the season a 7-9 and considering all that has happened this season with injuries, Adrian, & other off field issues, 7-9 is a hell of an achievement for 1st year head coach Mike Zimmer and rookie QB Teddy Bridgewater.

The future is looking bright as Teddy looks legit and is poised to move forward as the face of the franchise. (Sorry, Adrian. #ByeFelicia)


2014 Was a Fun Ride Talkie Points Include:
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• Mr. Mankato Love
• Asiata Appreciation
• Audie Cole Respect
• The Zimmer Hellfire Defense Rebounded
• Harrison Smith is Elite
• Jared Allen Loveletter
• Chad Greenway. The End?

A very special holiday message from Purple FTW!

***********************

'Twas a coach named Mike Zimmer, and all through his team
Mediocre was not acceptable, if you know what I mean
Teddy Bridgewater is the future, all Vikings fans hope
We felt the same about Ponder, but now we look like big dopes

The Fans will be at the bank, all snug in their Vikings gear
Hoping to end on a high note, a hip flask of fireball be near
The Bears coming in, we will put Cutler on his back
Jared Allen is coming home, but he won't get a sack

The offense is rolling, with many missing this season
Injuries and off field stuff, are all the main reasons
IN is Charles Johnson, OUT is Cordarrelle Flash
Matt Kalil is out too, next season might be his last

But that Defense is rolling, even with a few hitches
This ain't 2013, the year we all looked like... Fools
Harrsion Smith is an All-Pro, Everson should be too.
Anthony Barr's better than Clowney, who would have thought or would have knew

Mike Zimmer is blunt, and he pulls no punches
He's got no time for BS, guesses or hunches
He was the kick in the pants this team did need
Now get him some weapons to finish the deed

Teddy Bridgewater's the man, even on those skinny knees
He started driving this offense after he got the keys
Throws with anticipation, way than better than Manziel
and all of the haters Teddy can go straight to hell
“Now CJ, Now Rudolph”
Now Jennings and Wright”
On B-Rob, on Xavier
That coverage so tiught.
To the top of the North
To the top of them all
Now do your thing do your thing
Vikings Football!!!

2015 is the season we all anticipate
A division title in the offing, or at least 8 and 8
Mike Zimmer and Teddy, our future's pristine
Skol Vikings to all, and Super Bowl 2015!

Julie DiCaro (@JulieDiCaro) of 87.7 The Game Chicago stopped by to preview the Vikings-Bears season finale Sunday at The Bank.

It won't have the same cachet as the finales of Serial, Sons of Anarchy, or even Dexter. But if the Vikings (6-9) kick some Bears (5-10) ass in the final week of the season, it will go a long way to endear purple fans to Mike Zimmer and Teddy "The Future" Bridgewater even more.

We discuss our enemy in depth and probe for their weaknesses. Me thinks #6 might come up a time or two.

Behind Enemy Lines Talkie Point Include:
• The Glory of Monday Night Raw in Minneapolis
• Julie's story
• Marc Trestman. Dead man walking?
• Jay Cutler is starting. Huzzah

One Story. Of a young and not ready for prime time team. Told one week at a time. This is Serial Vikings.

Our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings fell 37-35 to the Dolphins Sunday afternoon at half-full Sun Life Stadium.

Mental errors, loss of composure, offensive line failures, and defensive collapses highlighted a disappointing loss as the Vikings fall to 6-9 in Zimmer & Teddy's inaugural season.

The refereeing was atrocious, yes, but a good team is able to overcome that spot. The Vikings didn't Sunday. Hopefully someday they will.

C*** Punt-Blocked Talking Points Include:
• WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• Offensive Line. Woof
• Matt “Bulldozer” Asiata
• The Defense Didn't Travel
• Keep. Your. Damn. Composure.
• Xavier Rhodes Love
• Coach Mike Zimmer
• #Purple FTW Helmet Stickers
• Condolences to the Greenway Family

Oscar Hazell (@OscarHazell) of Fin Depth joins us to preview Vikings @ Dolphins.

The Vikings (6-8) have a worse record than the Dolphins (7-7), but it feels like our squad has a much brighter future as anyone and everyone might be washed out in Miami come the end of the season.

We'll see if Teddy can build on his already impressive rookie résumé as he heads to Miami for a hometown homecoming. 

Salcaious South Beach Talkie points include:
• Oscar: Why the Dolphins?
• The London Dolphins?
• Stephen Ross Assessment
• Is Philbin Back in 2015?
• "Ryan Tannehill will be the Dolphins QB for the next 7 years."

Our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings fell to the Detroit Lions 16-14 Sunday at Ford Field.

The Vikings (6-8) jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but couldn't hold on as Teddy Bridgewater threw two picks, Blair Walsh missed 3 field goals (including a 68-yard game winner), and Zimmer displayed some questionable clock management skills to close out the game.

As many positives as this young team has shown this year, this is a game that good teams win. We did not Sunday, but we recap.

Close But No Cigar Talkie Points Include:
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• Mike Zimmer's Clock Management Game
• Blair Walsh Yikes
• Matt Asiata Wasn't Terrible
• The Curious Case of Cordarrelle Patterson
• Welcome Back Kyle Rudolph
• That Zimmer Hellfire Defense

The Lions (9-4) roughed us up 17-3 in Week 6 (sans Megatron AND Reggis Bush), but our Purple Peeps are a team on the rise.

This is an exclusive preview of Football Convos for Purple FTW! listeners only, an interview with former Vikings & 2014 College Football Hall of Famer Darrin Nelson.

Football Convos is a 5-day a week podcast featuring interviews with the players, coaches, and contributors that make this game great.


Website: footballconvos.com
Twitter: @FootballConvos.
Email: andy@footballconvos.com


FC 1: Darrin Nelson

Darrin Nelson is a Stanford grad, an 11-year NFL veteran , and 2014 College Football Hall of Fame inductee.

At Stanford, Darrin was one of Bill Walsh's original dual threat RBs compling 2130 yards rushing and 970 receiving during their two years together in Palo Alto. Darrin finished his college career as the NCAA's all-time all purpose yards leader with 6885 (currently 15th).

As the 7th overall pick of the 1982 NFL draft, Darrin went on to an NFL career with the Vikings and Chargers. He ended his career with 23 TDs (18 rushing, 5 receiving) and 11,017 all-purpose yards (4442 rushing, 2559 receiving, and 4016 in the return game).

Darrin is currently a senior associate

It was ugly, but our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings (6-7) ground out a win vs the New York Football Jets Sunday in walkoff fashion 30-24 as Teddy Bridgewater tossed a screen to Jarius Wright and #17 did the rest on an 87-yd TD in overtime to launch the Vikings to 6-7 on the season.

We're still technically in the playoff hunt, but need to win out and have a cavalcade of things to go right to do so.

Either way, the future is looking bright with Teddy leading the way and Zimmer at the helm.

Not perfect, but we'll take it talkie points include:
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• OFFENSIVE Offensive Line
• Running Back by Com"Meh"tee
• WR Love
• Everson Griffen: 1st Team All-Pro
• Special Teams Sucked Today
• Josh Robinson... Yeahhh
• Marveling at Mike Zimmer
• Percy Harvin
• Purple FTW Helmet Stickers

All that and other "Percy is a whiner, but so damn talented (when healthy)" jibber-jabber on this edition of the #PurpleFTW Podcast!

Our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings (5-7) outplayed the Carolina Panthers (3-8-1) on Sunday 31-13 to keep the Purple's very faint playoff hopes alive.

The Vikings won in all three phases, including two first half punt blocks returned for TDs by Adam Thielen and all-world Everson Griffen.

The win was a much needed boost to morale and momentum as the Vikings close out 2014.


We recap the Purple victory with talkie points that include:
• Extra Special Special Teams
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• Everson Griffen Worth Every Penny
• That Zimmer Hellfire Defense
• Wide Receiver Assesment
• Chad Greenway Old Yeller Moment
• Xavier Rhodes Love
• Not Sure If The Vikings Were Dominant or if Carolina was Garbage
• Mike Zimmer

Travis Hancock (@TBoneWFNZ) of The Fan Charlotte joins us to preview Sunday's matchup as the Carolina Panthers (3-7-1) roll into The Bank to take on our Minnesota Fighitn' Vikings (4-7).

The Panthers are coming off their bye, but have had 5 straight losses (and a tie) and have a lot more questions than answers at the moment.

We look to take advantage of those questions Sunday and add to Cam Newton's 32 sacks on the season (3rd most in the NFL).

The Commissioners Exempt List Bowl talkie points include:
• The NFC South is terrible
• Tank or Wins?
• Is Cam Newton THEE guy?
• Bigger Loss: Steve Smith or Jordan Gross?

• Dave Gettleman: Sly Like a Fox?

Our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings fell 24-21 to the Green Bay Packers Sunday at The Bank.

It was a near run thing, but Mike Zimmer & his young squadron came up short.

Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda Talkie Points Include:
• That Zimmer D is Legit
• Kalil Needs to be Benched
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• #FeedMcKinnon, #FreeBanyard, #ByeFeliciaBenTate
• Charles Johnson Love. Again.
