  • Shout out

    Thank you Matthew Coller and routine guests! You have taught me so much since I started listening a few years ago. I’ve always been a Vikings fan, but this show has elevated my fandom and enjoyment for watching our team. I have more understanding, excitement, and confidence when it comes to talking about the Vikings. Some of us our optimists too, even after tough losses or rocky seasons!

  • Needs a new producer

    This show is great and the guests are mostly great, as well. But Matthew, spend more than the bare minimum and hire a competent producer. The ad breaks are TERRIBLE! In the middle of a guest’s sentence?!? Just pure amateur hour.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chris Trapasso analyzes Minnesota Vikings dark horse draft positions
Q: How do Melikai Lawrence and Dylan Theeneman compare as potential first-round edge players for the Vikings?
Lawrence is described as a high-upside, long-armed edge/OLB-type with a polished pass-rush move set, while Theeneman is discussed as a high-upside, versatile defender who could be drafted later but offers potential as a plug-and-play option with development.
Chris Trapasso analyzes Minnesota Vikings dark horse draft positions
Q: What are the Vikings' top dark horse positions in this draft class given Addison's fifth-year option?
Edge rusher, outside linebacker, and offensive tackle are highlighted as the most intriguing and potentially impactful dark horse targets, with discussions focusing on how they fit Brian Flores' defense and the team's long-term needs.
LaDainian Tomlinson's Untold Stories + Chargers Super Bowl Run Coming?
Q: What was it like working with Lorenzo Neal and how did the blocking schemes help you reach that level?
Lowe was a force in the trenches; his lead blocks and how tight LT stayed on the hip made it easier for me to cut and accelerate, and the overall blocking scheme opened up lanes that we capitalized on game after game.
LaDainian Tomlinson's Untold Stories + Chargers Super Bowl Run Coming?
Q: LT, how would you describe how that record-setting run came together and what you saw in front of you?
I remember the play call and Dillman telling me to run behind him; I trusted that and read the blocks as they unfolded, staying patient and exploiting the hole, which allowed me to find the end zone and set the record.
Acting GM Brzezinski hints that moves are coming for Vikings (Part 2)
Q: What is the strategic approach for the Vikings' front office in the near term?
