  • Boycott Betting Sponsors

    Lets normalize boycotting podcasts that take money from gambling entities which exploit addicts. Used to love Judd, Mackey and Declan but can’t support people who promote something that notoriously destroys lives. Shame on you guys, where is your moral compass?

  • Hockenson isn’t fetching a top 100 draft pick

    Love the show, but no team is trading a top 100 pick for Hockenson, he is contracted to be highest paid TE and he is washed up… He is getting cut

  • Thor needs to get a job

    Respectfully I love purple daily. The question is why should we listen to Thor talk. He seemingly missed on JJ McCarthy compared to every other quarterback in his draft class, and it seems like he constantly regurgitates whatever anyone else says on the show in a wordier way.

    PS if we could get some more O-line committee that would be great. They know ball. They are good at explaining the team dynamics. Maybe it’s time for a play-calling change at purple daily. Let’s swap out Thor for one of t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TTP: Deep NFL Draft SLEEPER fits for Minnesota Vikings with Mike Renner!
Q: Mike, as our guest, I would like for you to kick us off. So why don't you give us the first day three Vikings sleeper?
Renner discusses a first-day-three sleeper, focusing on a bigger-bodied boundary receiver archetype and a pass-catching profile that could complement the Vikings' receiving corps, highlighting traits like length, straight-line speed, and the ability to win at multiple levels.
FOOTBALL TAKES: 2026 NFL Draft top 5 guards and centers ranked
Q: What stands out about Kage Casey's ability to play multiple positions at the next level?
Casey's background at Boise State as a left tackle, plus his reported versatility to slide inside to guard or even center, makes him valuable for teams that want interior line flexibility; his film shows strong hand placement and a square base, though some hip stiffness and limited elite athleticism could influence where he projects.
TTP: Can Minnesota Vikings find their Aaron Jones successor in NFL Draft?
Q: What are your thoughts on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren as a potential first-round pick for the Vikings?
McNeil-Warren is a high-end talent with a versatile skill set who can play near the box and create havoc; however, there is debate about his fit at 18, and many would prefer a trade-down to accumulate more assets while still targeting similar impact players later in the first round or early second.
TTP: Can Minnesota Vikings find their Aaron Jones successor in NFL Draft?
Q: Is there a player in this draft class who resembles Aaron Jones and could be the Vikings' 2.0 at running back?
The closest comparable in this discussion is Emmett Johnson, with a profile that mirrors Jones' height, weight, and testing numbers; but there are other sleepers and UDFA options like Damon Bankston who could provide similar upside if developed for pass game and special teams.
