Hi everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

On this final episode of 2024 the Listen Local crew goes BIG and talks all things Vikings with a former Vikings Pro Bowl Linebacker and a long-time Twin Cities Sports Director!

With the Vikings beating the Packers this past weekend, they now head to Detroit in arguably not only the biggest regular season game in franchise history, but also in NFL History. Both teams are 14 and 2 and the winner of this Sunday's game against the Lions will be the number 1 seed and will have Home Field advantage throughout the playoffs. Vikings games mean so much to so many people and businesses around the BLA and all over MN, which is why the crew wanted to have this Vikings-centric show.

The first guest on today's show is none other than former KARE 11 Sports Director Eric Perkins to talk about not only this year's team, but also reminisce on past seasons. Perk also tells the crew what some of his favorite memories cover the Vikings are.

After Perk, Vikings Legend Chad Greenway joined the show. Chad, who had been on the show in the past, talks with Isaiah and Jacob for quite some time about everything from his thoughts on how far this year's team can go, to similarities he sees between them and the '09 team he was on that made it to the Conference Finals, to thoughts on coaching and culture. Before we let Chad go we had to talk to him about what it is like being a fan now of his daughters who are some of the best high school basketball players in the State. He also chats about his partnership with Ziegler Cat and running his hobby farm. As always, thanks to Chad for joining and Skol Vikes!
