Explosive Output

Appropriate that episode #14 is the same number as Stefon Diggs, today Mat Harrison, Scott Fish and Fanball's Sam Schumacher talk about the thrilling Vikings victory over the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Divisional Round Playoff.

Mat talks about his experience of watching it from the Xcel Energy Center with a raucous crowd geared up for a Minnesota Wild game. Sam was live at US Bank Stadium and goes over his Snapchat crying episodes. Fish made his newborn baby make noises as he watched from home.

Mat, 2V and Fish go over Week 15 of the NFL season and release our BCS playoff bracket and power rankings.

It's a better playoff if the NFL just let's us decide who is in and who is out.

NFL Week 14 is almost in the books, so it's time for the POWER RANKINGS. Mat, 2V and Fish go over the week that was, rank the teams based on their power and then enjoy a special visit from Peyton Manning and Kermit the Frog.

Mat, Fish and 2V go over the highlights and lowlights of Week 13 and deliver our NFL power rankings. Also we ponder the idea that if the NFL playoffs were held like a BCS tournament, how would that go.

Mat, Fish and 2V review the action in Week 12 from a reality and fantasy standpoint. Who is this Alvin Kamara? Why are the Patriots better than the 10-1 Eagles? Just where do we slot the Packers, Jaguars, Chiefs, Chargers and Rams this week?

Answers to these questions and more that you didn't ask are on today's ExOut pod.

Mat reserves a table to chat with Chef Aaron Hagerdorn, Head Chef at Main Street Farmer located in St. Michael, Minnesota. Chef Aaron talks about his journey to get where he is now, which food anyone can cook to impress others, and shares some of the local techniques he's learned along the way.

If you're hungry after listening to this (and you will be) you can check out Main Street Farmer at www.mainstreetfarmer.com and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/mainstreetfarmer.

Mat, Fish and 2V review the week that was in the NFL and update our power rankings. How much did we punish the Chiefs? Which AFC West team will be there to challenge KC for the title? Is there a reason for the first two rounds of the AFC playoffs? Are the Vikings legit?

All those answers and more, today on ExOut.
