Purple FTW! Podcast

Today is the day Marty McFly came to the future. So it makes sense that we go BACK to October 26, 1985 Di Murphy of The Daily Norseman makes her weekly stop to talk about everything Minnesota Fightin' Stefon Diggs Vikings related. We chat about the impact of the mercurial wideout and if he can sustain his initial success, how badly we want to get in on the Vikings Donut Club, how Harrison Smith is STILL somehow underrated, and if we're scared about going into Detroit to take on the (1-5) Motor City Kitties on Sunday.All that and other "Maple Long Johns FTW" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings held off the Kansas City Chiefs 16-10 Sunday afternoon at The Bank in a game that more resembled a rugby match if said match had bad officiating, sloppy play, and was nearly unwatchable. But other than that, the game was great! A win is a win in the NFL and we dive into the reasons for the elevation to 3-2 and why we damn near lost it all. Other "Bye, Charles Johnson" Talkers Include• We Tried to Lose. The Chiefs Wouldn't Let Us.• Teddy Bridgewater Was Uneven• Oh Hai, Stefon Diggs• Adrian.

All six Minnesota Fightin' Vikings wide receivers may be active for Sunday's game versus the (1-4) and reeling Kansas City Chiefs. Mike Wallace is safe, but who will land the snaps for the rest of the season?THIS. IS VIKINGS WIDE RECEIVER IDOL.Arif Hasan stops by for his weekly spot to discuss who has the upper hand to win the honor of catching Teddy's balls, why offensive line play is terrible league wide, who will finally win the damn safety job opposite Harrison, and I rename NFL teams to more accurately depict their fanbase/city.All that and other "Kelly Clarkson is the best American Idol winner" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

Phil Mackey of 1500 ESPN swings in to chat about the 2-2 Minnesota Fightin' Vikings, why they (and fans) shouldn't be overlooking the Jamaal Charles-less Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday, and how the Purple look to fare down the stretch of 2015.We also get into his rise to power in Twin Cities sports talk radio (basically Narcos), the reaction to his infamous Adrian Peterson apology letter, what it's like to be the second most famous person in a relationship (ala Christian Ponder) and who would square off in his dream pro wrestling match.All that and other "LOL at Donovan McNabb's $88M Washington contract" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

Former Minnesota Golden Gopher and Baltimore Raven wide receiver Ron Johnson (FOX 9/KFAN) stopped in to talk about our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings as we come out of the bye week. We touched on what attributes make Teddy Bridgewater special, Ron ranks the current corps of Vikes wideouts, how Mike Zimmer's defense is starting to resemble the great Ravens defenses of the 2000s, and why his former teammate Jamal Lewis' 295 game might still be the NFL record.All that and other "Hot Pockets Suck" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings (2-2) are off the bye week and are looking to get back to a winning record as we welcome in the suddenly faceless Kansas City Chiefs (1-4). With their superstar running back Jamaal Charles done for the season with a torn ACL, the Chiefs look to Charn... Charadr.... Running back C. West to help carry the load of a team that was already marginal on offense (even with Charles) and a usually solid defense that's suddenly tied for 30th in the NFL giving up 28.6 points per game.This seems like a favorable matchup at home, but us Vikings fans have seen these easy games go very kaddywampus. Di Murphy (@DiMurphyMN) stops in to talk about how we hope the Purple don't mess this up as we try to get win numero tres of the 2015 season.All that and other "Xavier in boxing gloves" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!
