Purple FTW! Podcast

The path for the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings is clear: Win Two Games, Win The North. To do that the Purple will have to win in prime time and beat the Packers, things that have been sparse as of late (just ask #VikingsTwitter). The Odell Beckham-less New York Football Giants stand in the way first (although the issue was up in the air during recording). We welcome Arif Hasan (@ArifHasanNFL) back into the friendly confines to talk about Gotham vs Twin Cities.Other topics include how the Vikings got completely messed over in the Pro Bowl voting because fans are sheep, why Ron Jaworski is NOT a premier source for breaking news, if Teddy Bridgewater can keep playing the best ball of his career, how the Giants are basically the Browns without OBJ and Arif and I hand out presents to the team. Because 'tis the season or something.All this and other "Andre Williams is the worst running back I've ever seen in my life" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings potentially got a Christmas Gift from Odell Beckham Jr by him acting a fool against Carolina and getting suspended for the Purple vs New York Football Giants Sunday Night Football showdown (pending appeal). Di Murphy (@DiMurphyMN) of The Daily Norseman rejoins the show to talk about if OBJ's actions warranted suspension and if the NFL has the fortitude to uphold said suspension on appeal even though it would mean one of the league's biggest stars missing a prime time game with playoff implications.We also chatted about how men and women cannot be friends (sometimes), make fun of Josh Freeman and that 2013 Monday Night Football debacle in the Meadowlands, Di yells at me for wanting Eli over Peyton Manning in a last-minute drive situation, we bask in the greatness of Teddy Bridgewater's performance versus the Bears, and ponder if Adrian Peterson and Teddy B can co-exist for another season or if "All Day" will be "All Gone" in 2016.All this and other "WHY DID JOSH FREEMAN THROW 53 TIMES?!?" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!
