Fans make the game. The Viking World Order makes Minnesota Vikings fans. Erin Darsow (@PandaVike22) aka Purple Panda makes the Viking World Order. Andy invited the Vikings super fan to the Blue Door Pub to talk about her rabid fandom, the ins and outs of the VWO, show off her extensive autograph tattoos, and what the Vikes playing in their home stadium would mean to her.

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings released their first unofficial depth chart officially on Monday morning.

The infamous dead period between Saturday morning walkthrough and the famous Training Camp Night Practice is upon us. That's why Andy has welcomed in a cavalcade of guests: Luke Inman, Sam Ekstrom, and Arif Hasan of Zone Coverage; Eric Thompson and Yinka Ayinde of The Daily Norseman; and Drew Mahowald and BJ Reidell of Vikings Territory into the Boulder Tap House Mankato to democratically vote on the Vikings 53-man roster.

The Mankato weather turned cold on Thursday, but the ambient temperature has zero effect on the heat of our takes. Daniel House (Vikings Corner) joined Andy at the Boulder Tap House Mankato to discuss Who is Up (Rashod Hill, Shamar Stephen, Michael Floyd) and Who is Down (Rodney Adams, Bucky Hodges, Trae Waynes), plus a phone-in cameo from my daughter Little Mugsy.

The Purple FTW! Podcast has descended upon Mankato for Minnesota Vikings Training Camp.

The crew chatted about Sam Bradford and Mike Zimmer's dap fail, Laquon Treadwell's hamstring injury (which may or may not have been caused by Antone Exum), Riley Reiff's back "twinge", Dalvin Cook living up to the hype, and the Michael Floyd Redemption Tour.
