  • Poorly produced

    This may be the most poorly produced podcast I’ve heard. All the computer noises. I lost count at a dozen. As good as the content may be it’s so distracting making this a first, and only, listen.

  • Mark Craig is wonderful

    But heavens could he use a new cohost. I’m not sure if it’s age but he can’t remember anything and when he does speak he’s usually wrong. Mark deserves better.

    didn’t seek out a podcast to knock it, but these guys think the NFL is stuck in 1980 and hasn’t been evolving at an increasingly fast pace over the last 30 years. very poor understanding of positional value or how to generate wins in the modern NFL. altogether, it’s just poor commentary deliver and poorer analysis from the host. just not good :(

  • Two Guys Who Ooze True Purple

    I've been listening to Joe Johnson and Joe Oberle for several years--hence the name "Morning Joes--and they always have a unique and dare I say, oddly refreshing take on the machinations of the Minnesota Vikings. The two gents, a pair of unmatched socks, have a charming synergy, which is fueled by the neurosis of Joe Johnson, a younger man than the other. Joe the Younger articulates what many fans feel about the never-ending struggle of the Vikings to win a Super Bowl, a state-of-mind that no Vi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Vikings Camp is Coming; Vikings Speculation is Here
Q: Who is the most important player on the offense this season?
Justin Jefferson is the key, as he commands attention and opens opportunities for the entire passing game, making him crucial for the offense's success.
Vikings Camp is Coming; Vikings Speculation is Here
Q: What do you think the strengths of the offense are this year?
The receivers and targets stand out, with Jefferson, Addison, Hockenson, and a healthy Oliver providing a versatile and explosive group that should support a young quarterback.
Money Matters—Vikings Offseason Cap Purge to Begin
Q: Should the Vikings pursue a long-term restructure or a short-term fix at quarterback to stabilize the cap?
They should pursue a short-term, one-year deal approach for a quarterback if needed, prioritizing JJ McCarthy and keeping the door open for a better long-term plan, rather than tying up cap space with a high-cost steward who may not yield a championship quickly.
Money Matters—Vikings Offseason Cap Purge to Begin
Q: Which veteran contracts look most movable to relieve cap space this offseason?
Aaron Jones and Javon Hargrave are central targets to consider moving on from due to their high cap hits, with the understanding that getting full value requires balancing dead money and the impact on the roster and culture.
The Pro Bowl is Done; Bring on the Big Bowl
Q: What do you think about the Eagles' running back situation?
They have a powerful and healthy Saquon Barkley who is capable of leading the ground game effectively.
