  • Homer Central!!

    I use to enjoy listening and following this show, even though I am a loyal Packer’s fan.

    However, this past summer the boys have completely gone over-the -top with their Vikings hometown takes and bias.

    Do you not remember last year’s playoff dumpster fire against the Rams….as well as McCarthy having NEVER played a single down in the regular season??

    Maybe amnesia has set in, as Phil at the State Fair just proudly proclaimed the Vikings as making it to the NFC Championship Game.

    Really!?!?

    Show leans more into entertainment and engagement bait than analysis. Listened for years, just can't do it anymore. Moved on to other podcasts where the hosts actually know about football.

    Phil, we get it, you wish you still worked at KFAN but you’re ruining every show you’re on. You’re a grown man. Pretend to be one when you’re on the air.

    Alex Boone. Language. Does he need to come across as a tough guy?

    Listening since 1500 days, Vikings fan since the second coming of Fran. Always a fair assessment of the team from these guys even when I don’t agree.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DOOGIE: Minnesota Vikings injury updates: JJ McCarthy, Ryan Kelly and more
Q: How ready do we think Carson Wentz is to step in here and win a football game?
Given the favorable matchup against the Bengals and the expectations for the offense, Wentz should be able to move the ball, although concerns remain about his adjustment and the team's past performance.
Minnesota Vikings QB JJ McCarthy’s QB coach Greg Holcomb joins Purple Daily
Q: Did you see anything in those first three quarters that is an actionable thing we can modulate, we can fix going forward?
The Bears played really well on defense in the first half; they just didn't allow the Vikings to do anything. As soon as he ripped that throw, I knew it would get them going.
Minnesota Vikings QB JJ McCarthy’s QB coach Greg Holcomb joins Purple Daily
Q: What was your watching experience throughout those three hours?
It was really awesome. It was emotional, obviously. He started out rough but I was very confident knowing that he was going to respond well.
How high will Minnesota Vikings QB JJ McCarthy rank by season’s end?
Q: How high can JJ McCarthy conceivably climb this?
He likely won't get past 20 in the rankings based on how the Viking's offense will run, but if he reaches around 21 with efficiency, that would be an appropriate expectation.
8 BIG questions for 2025 Minnesota Vikings!
Q: If the Vikings fall short of eight and a half wins, and it's not injury-related, what will be the main reason?
JJ McCarthy struggles, the cornerbacks aren't improving, and Kevin O'Connell goes back to being too reliant on the pass game.
