90-man rosters are like an episode of Game of Thrones: Not everyone is going to make it. But what lies ahead for some of these fringe Minnesota Vikings players that are likely to be cut in the next two weeks? I do my best Miss Cleo (RIP) impression and look into my magic ball to see the future of these players. Some of their futures include football. Some include being a manager at HuHot. All that and other "CALL ME NOW." chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!

Teddy Bridgewater didn't play in a game that doesn't matter, but Vikings fans still freaked out. The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings mercifully ended their late start game with the Seattle Seahawks.

Tonight/This Morning's Talking Points Include: • Why Didn't Teddy Play? • Shaun Hill Looked Good Enough • WTF, Joel Stave • Well Hello Cordarrelle Patterson • Adam Thielen is WR3. Period. • Lack of Running Game This Preseason is Worrisome • Kyle Rudolph Is Alive • CJ Ham is RB4 • Vikings Defense Played Well, BUT.... • Everson Wants 20 Sacks and Might Get It • Danielle Hunter is a Man • We're In Good Hands with Our Backup Defensive Tackles • LOL Antone Exum • Michael Griffin Time with the ones with Harrison • Terence Newman is no longer a starting caliber CB. Major regression from 2015. • Secondary Cannot Catch • Marcus Sherels Saved Us From Preseason Overtime • Blair Walsh finally kicked a 27-yard FG • Jeff Locke was Horrible All that and other "Shaun Hill is Trade Bait" chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW!
