Purple FTW! Podcast

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings are back in the hood that is Eden Prairie as the Purple begin preparation for the 2016 season. Nothing is more meaningless than OTAs, but the only thing getting more attention than them is than lady and her damn Chewbacca mask. But I digress, let's talk some football! (Which we apparently do not do on The Andy Luke & Arif Football Machine.) Today's Topics Include • Vikings OTAs Kicked Off Tuesday • Why Adrian Peterson Showed Up • Players Present But Not Participating • BJ Dubose Lost For the Season with an ACL • Mortiz Böhringer Can't Catch the Ball Apparently • Blair Walsh Got a Lot of Emotional Support • Arif's Willie Beavers Piece • Who's Going to Start at the Other Safety Spot? • High Praise for Laquon Treadwell • I CAN'T GET THE HEY TEDDY SONG OUT OF MY HEAD • Two Vikings on the NFL Top-100 So Far • Mankato Plans All that and other "I bought a JUGS machine" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

David Morgan II -- the Pride of the UTSA Road Runners -- stopped by the show to chat about his first weeks with the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings. We talked about what it's like helping build a brand new college football program from scratch, what he envisions his role with the Purple will be, early impressions of the tight end room and new position coach Pat Shurmur, which current NFL player he models his game after, and why he's a "II" and not a "Jr". Also David shares a fishing story that would make B-Rob weep. All that and other "The Numerology Podcast is Cancelled" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast.

The Mortiz Boehringer (aka Mortiz Böhringer) story continues as the NFL will allow Borat to rock the umlaut on his uniform this season. He's still a long-shot to make the roster and the feel-good story is over (Mike Zimmer said so, not me), but he'll still be a fan favorite in Mankato for training camp. Plus if he makes a few plays, the fans will be like "Öööööööööööööhhhhhhh!" Töday's Töpics Include • Laquön Treadwell is Signed • Vikings Up tö 90 Men ön the Röster • Öne Punter tö Watch För tö Cömpete with Jeff Löcke... • Adrian Petersön Says the Vikings Can "Win Everything" • AP Removes Cap ön Flööd Dönatiöns • Keep an Eye ön Jayrön Kearse • Will the Vikings Carry 2 Quarterbacks in 2016? • Randy Möss Replaces Cris Carter (Again) • Super Böwl LII Date Officially Set • 2 Minutes ön Every Vikings Pösition Gröup (Excerpt from The Andy Luke & Arif Football Machine) All that and other "Why isn't Moritz nicknamed "Jager Bomb" yet?" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

The newest class of Minnesota Fightin' Vikings rookies are in the building this weekend for rookie mini-camp. Draft picks, undrafted free agents, and tryout players alike will try to climb the mountain of making the Vikings 53-man roster (remember, John Randle was a tryout/UDFA), in what could be the most competitive offseason in team history. There is talent everywhere. Today we run through a few of the rookies and forecast what their present and future roles could be in Purple. Beyond the headliners in wide receiver Laquon Treadwell and cornerback Mackensie Alexander, there are a number of interesting names who can bring something to the Vikings' table. All that and other "Chewbacca was a Rookie" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast.

Laquon Treadwell is the newest member of the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings raiding party. We take a closer look at the young man from Ole Miss, how he overcame a gruesome injury his sophomore year to become a first round NFL pick, why I love his demeanor and maturity beyond his 20-years on this planet, and what he brings to the Vikings offense. Teddy Bridgewater, Stefon Diggs, and Norv Turner have to be very pleased getting the "Ambassador of Quon" in the building. All that and other "Cris Carter Was Slow Too....." nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast.
