Leslie Frazier knows the Vikings organization, and the former head coach got bragging rights on his old team last Sunday.  The Buffalo Bills’ defensive coordinator joined the program to explain how his squad beat up Minnesota.

John Randle is a legendary name in this part of the world.  The former Vikings defensive end and NFL Hall of Fame member stopped by to chat about the effect Dennis Green had on his life and career.  Plus, he explains why Hall of Fame members are trying to get more help in life.

Five days.  Two games.  Two endings with different feelings, but the same result.  The Purple will have a three-game winless streak going into next weekend.  Eric and Larry saw both matchups in person, including Thursday night’s showdown in L.A.  They bring us this week’s edition from Tinseltown and dive into all that these games offered.  This week also features a parade of guests, including former Vikings player John Randle, former Vikings coach Leslie Frazier, a slew of current Vikes, Hall of Fame QB Kurt Warner, and noted NFL reporter Steve Wyche.

The story going in to Thursday night was the showcase for two dominant defenses.  Didn’t happen that way.  The guys break down the Vikings’ 38-31 loss to the Rams.  How can the Purple defense recover from some recent poor showings?  Where has the running game gone?  Plus, we get reaction to the situation surrounding Everson Griffen.

Segment 6: There’s no way we could leave this week’s show behind without returning to the turmoil bubbling up in the Timberwolves’ locker room.  We hear another story showcasing what might lead to Jimmy Butler’s departure.  Can the Wolves make a trade with some value?

Segment 5: Larry gives us his thoughts on a former colleague and friend before offering them to a Vikings crowd on Sunday.  The late Dennis Green will be honored at halftime of the Vikings-Bills game.  We get an insight into his coaching era in Minnesota, including some of the coaching tree and some of the trials he went through.

Segment 4: With all of the football news from Sunday, the biggest Twin Cities’ sports headline this week might have come OFF the basketball court.  Tom Tuttle joins the fellas to discuss Jimmy Butler’s demand to be traded from the Timberwolves.  And, boy, this story’s a juicy read.

Segment 3: In the fallout from the infamous tie, Vikings rookie kicker Daniel Carlson became the ex-kicker.  There were also a few questions brought up about the Vikes’ defense after Sunday’s performance.  Was that just the magic of Aaron Rodgers?  After that, we hear of preview of the Buffalo Bills coming to town (a team that had someone retire at halftime of last week’s game).

Segment 2: You’ve heard from some of the participants in Green Bay.  Now, what do our hosts think of last Sunday’s tie?  Which team got the worst of this bizarre contest?

It’s wild times here in the Upper Midwest.  As Fall starts up, the football minds in this area continue to sort out everything that occurred over the weekend.  Eric and Larry team up in the Downtown Minneapolis studio to provide their thoughts on what appeared to be one of the most unsatisfying ties in recent memory.  They dive headfirst into the Vikings-Packers draw, with input from several key players (Kirk Cousins, Linval Joseph, Sheldon Richardson).  The leaf is also turned to look at the Purple’s next opponent, the Buffalo Bills.  Plus, how did it get to the point where Jimmy Butler is demanding a trade from the Timberwolves?  Tom Tuttle joins the program to look at this developing story.  And the Vikings will honor the late Dennis Green this Sunday.

Segment 1: Well, how’s that Week 2 rivalry for you?  The Vikings and Packers played to what may, in time, be an epic tie.  What did some of the Purple players think of the outcome?  We hear from QB Kirk Cousins, DT Linval Joseph, and DT Sheldon Richardson.
