Purple FTW! Podcast

[Note: Episode recorded before Marshawn Lynch was officially ruled out]

Merry Vikings Wild Card Eve, Vikings Fans! The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings are set to play the Seattle Seahawks tomorrow afternoon at The Bank (aka Hoth) kicking off what we hope to be an extended run in the playoffs for this young team. To get the other perspective of the game, we welcome back show favorite Dayna O'Gorman (@DaynaOG) of the NFL Female Podcast to chat about the 'Birds and the Vikes.Today's topics include why the 38-7 beatdown a few weeks ago might not have been indicative of where these two teams are, how Russell Wilson has become the face of that franchise and how Teddy Bridgewater could/should/will become the face of ours, what Marshawn Lynch returning might mean for the game, why the Pro Bowl is stupid (until it's not), how this clash of two great defenses might shake out, and how playing in a commercial freezer will have an effect on the matchup.All this and other "This is a Bud Grant Game" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings have revenge on their mind and would love nothing more than to dispatch the Seattle Seahawks Tarantino style. Like Kill Bill style. Or the end of Inglorious Basterds style. (No spoilers for The Hateful Eight). To do so, the Purple will have to play a hateful 3.5 hours (just like the damn movie) and our man Arif Hasan (@ArifHasanNFL) is back in the building to talk about how Zimmer and the Reservoir Dogs can get it done on Sunday. Pulp Fiction.Arif and I run through how the Seahawks can get got, answer a few of your Twitter Questions, discuss my controversial playoff coach power rankings, and pick who we want to see in the Super Bowl (if the Vikings somehow don't make it).I also complain about sweet potato fries. They. Are. Garbage.All this and other "This is a Bud Grant Game" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

Playoffs, Homeboy. As the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings prepare to take on the Seattle Seahawks on the surface of Pluto Sunday, we welcome in Di Murphy (@DiMurphyMN) of The Daily Norseman for her weekly spot to set this mother on fire with Hot Takes.Besides discussing Making a Murderer (which I do at length), we dive into the deliciousness of winning the NFC North, why this team isn't satisfied with being one-and-done in the playoffs, how Seattle can get got, how Harrison Smith is a better safety than Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas combined, why the 38-7 beatdown was a fluke, if there's any coaches in the NFL we'd take over Mike Zimmer, and why fans going to the game Sunday have no right to complain about the cold.All this and other "Home " nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings Revenge Tour rolls on as we welcome in the Seattle Seahawks to The Bank for what's expected to be one of the coldest games in NFL history. Tom Schreier (@tschreier3) of Cold Omaha joins the show as we talk some Purple and being four wins away from that long awaited Super Bowl ring.We also dive into what it feels like to be Division champs and why that should become old hat for this team shortly, why we need to find out if Teddy Bridgewater is a franchise quarterback or not, Adrian Peterson's reasoning for bringing back up the offseason drama in Sports Illustrated, how the Adrian child abuse debate is like arguing abortion and gun control (hear me out), all of the ways the Seahawks are coming in overrated, and I talk about why Bruce Arians and Mike Zimmer are my two favorite coaches in the NFL.All this and other "The Seahawks Can Get Got" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!
