  • As a Packer fan, I enjoy this show

    Especially when they breakdown how the Vikings lost in the first round of the playoffs again.

    To be fair, they give some honest assessment of how Sam Darnold inexplicably fell apart. And they say the refereeing was bad on both sides and can’t be blamed.

    They also explain why, with how much the Vikings are losing in free agency, next year will be worse for them.

    Such a fun show. My favorite this year.

    This is by far the longest running #1 Vikings podcast (don’t ask for a source, everyone is saying this). The banter, football analysis, and (most importantly) the editing are all outstanding. Listen now!
