A Disgusting Act

Send us Fan Mail

Finally: we have a Packers-Vikings matchup. A Disgusting Act has waited all year for this. What are the keys to Minnesota getting back on track at Lambeau Field? Maybe J.J. McCarthy could take notes from Jordan Love, who bounced back from a disappointing 'Monday Night Football' performance to star in the Meadowlands on Sunday. Peter and Alex cover all that as well as their first-ever Crossbar Challenge, and some strange goings-on at their favorite local Tex-Mex establishment.

Peter is seeing body language from Justin Jefferson that he has rarely seen, and that's a major red flag for Minnesota's relationship with their superstar. Meanwhile, in Green Bay, Matt LaFleur might be coaching for his job after a disastrous 'Monday Night Football' loss. Can the Vikings get back to .500 against the Bears on Sunday? Can the Packers show a spark on offense in the Meadowlands? All that and more on the latest episode of A Disgusting Act.

After a "shocking" loss to the 13.5-point underdog Panthers on Sunday, Matt LaFleur and his Packers are facing a wave of criticism. But Alex argues we need to separate LaFleur's performance into two distinct categories. Meanwhile, the Vikings stunned the league with an upset win in Detroit, and the J.J. McCarthy bandwagon might be filling up again. Also: Peter and Alex argue about the Packers' 1923 throwback threads.

Following a dumbfoundingly bad loss and the inhumane treatment of his veteran QB on national television, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell has a big target on his back. The only way for KOC to shake it? Deliver wins with his least favorite player in the league: J.J. "The Rookie" McCarthy. Meanwhile, in Green Bay, the Packers toast to a beatdown of Aaron Rodgers' Steelers, and prepare for their next contest against a punchless NFC opponent.

While it doesn't have the narrative juice of the 2009 Brett Favre reunions, the Packers' forthcoming meeting with Aaron Rodgers could still be electric on the scoreboard. Might we also be seeing the Rodgers-era Matt LaFleur, who returned to his risk-taking ways with a gutsy 4th-and-2 decision to help beat Arizona this past weekend? There's much less optimism in Minnesota for the Vikings' short-week trip to L.A. to square off against the similarly hapless Chargers.

Where does Lambeau Field rank among U.S. sports venues? Alex and Peter argue over its spot in the hierarchy. Meanwhile, Kevin O'Connell continues to untether himself from J.J. McCarthy, and one listener wonders whether the team should consider trading for a new quarterback. On the field, the Vikings face a tall challenge at home in Week 7, and the Packers square off against a different kind of bird in the desert.

It finally happened: Chi-Chi's reopened after 21 years. Hosts Peter and Alex have been reporting on the restaurant all year, and they made appearance at the new flagship location on Day 1. Frozen margs? Chips and salsa? Chimichangas? They cover it all. Oh, and there's plenty of drama happening with the Vikings, who ended their trip to Europe with some late-game heroics.

Sunday began with a disappointing loss and ended with a disappointing tie. Vikings and Packers fans are both reeling from diminished expectations, and while Green Bay gets a reprieve with a bye week, Minnesota must forge ahead into a dangerous British matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Can the Vikings stay undefeated on English soil?

It was merely 7 days ago that Alex confidently extolled the virtues of his Packers, while Peter pouted about his hapless Vikings. And, well... here we are. There is an ugly problem in Green Bay that can't be ignored. Meanwhile, suddenly giddy Minnesota fans are ready for their early Irish wake-up call and a (final?) date with Aaron "Grape Crush" Rodgers.

It's not every day you get to ruin a young fan's first NFL experience, but Peter made the most of his opportunity during the Vikings' awful Week 2 loss to the Falcons. Where to begin with this Vikings team? Injuries and poor play have the fanbase crashing out. Meanwhile, the Packers seem primed to move to 3-0. How is their elite defense working, exactly? Alex breaks it down.
