Purple Journal Podcast

On this civilly disobedient episode of the purpleJOURNAL Podcast the fellas discuss the new rules surrounding the "issue" that is player kneeling during the national anthem, this week's OTA's (as Joe Oberle was there in person), from Kirk Cousins' debut behind center, the question about who will be the third receiver, Dalvin Cook's return from his ACL surgery and so much more. Give it a listen, the kneeling stuff takes up about five minutes at the end as we do think it's a distraction and would rather talk football!

On this WE'RE BACK (!) Edition of the purpleJOURNAL Podcast the fellas discuss the draft, pick by pick, discuss the offensive line fears that people (including, spoiler alert, the fellas do as well) have, what first round pick Mike Hughes means for the secondary, the recent extension of Trae Waynes and re-signing of Terrance Newman and more!

On this episode of the purpleJOURNAL Podcast the fellas check in after a few weeks of to talk all things Vikings. From the Wright to Wright swap at the wide receiver position, the news about Teddy Bridgewaters knee (From Zimmer's recent admission) and the increasingly possible reality that he might be done in the NFL, to thoughts on draft day trades and the draft in general! Stop by to listen to what's been described by our listeners as the show that best represents three friends talking Vikings in a man cave, while balancing the irony that we actually can't stand one another! Take that?

Joe Johnson, host of The purpleJOURNAL Podcast as well as the owner of purplePTSD.com and VikingsTerritory.com was a guest on WCCO's Sports Tonight this past Sunday! He spoke to the host, Steve Thomson about the current state of the Vikings and the sites!

On this amazing episode of The purpleJOURNAL Podcast the fellas are joined by Mr. Randball himself, Michael Rand of the Star Tribune to discuss Kirk Cousins, the landing spots for all three now-former Vikings QB’s, Trevor Siemian joining the team, what an offense with Cousins might look like, whether the Vikings are in trouble for setting up yesterday’s meeting with Cousins and much, much more…

In this great edition of the purpleJOURNAL Podcast the fellas tackle their difference in opinion when it comes to the looming decision the Vikings have at the quarterback position, namely in Kirk Cousins and whether or not he'd be able to elevate the offense and team to another level or he'd just be a $150 million disaster that the team would regret. Joe Johnson and Luke Braun break down where they stand with Joe being in the Pro-Cousins crowd and Luke being in the Anti-Cousins (and Pro-Teddy) crowd. It's a great listen and is one of the better debates we've had on the show!

Beyond that, the team also discusses Luke's annual punter piece that took the internet by storm this week, Joe Oberle's piece on what pieces the Vikings have outside of the quarterback position and some of the other rumors surrounding the Vikings QB position, oh and much, much more!

Oh, and just a heads up, we fixed the audio that was distracting for some whenever Luke Braun talked (it was his computer fans!), so hopefully, this episode sounds like you're in the room w/ the fellas as they get thiiiiis close to punching each other in the neck.

On this post-Super Bowl edition of the purpleJOURNAL Podcast the fellas discuss the breaking news that is/was the hiring of John DeFilippo as their offensive coordinator for the 2018-19 season (and perhaps only that season), what it may mean for the offense in general but also in terms of the quarterback the Vikings end up with, the Super Bowl between the Eagles and Patriots and much, much more!

On this Super Bowl edition of the purpleJOURNAL Podcast Jordan Reid (@JReidDraftScout) stops by to talk the big game, some preliminary draft and free agency stuff and much much more. The fellas also discuss their thoughts on the offensive coordinator search and the QB stuff (including the Kirk Cousins thoughts).
