  • 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.

Are there any good free agents left for the Vikings?!?!?!?!
Q: Should the Vikings pursue a veteran quarterback as QB3 for OTAs and training camp?
Carson Wentz is considered a strong option due to familiarity with offensive coordinator and offense, but the decision hinges on roster plans and cap implications.
Are there any good free agents left for the Vikings?!?!?!?!
Q: Is DeAndre Hopkins a realistic fit for Minnesota in free agency?
Hopkins could bring veteran presence and a possession-heavy role, but his age and cost may limit feasibility unless the team is pursuing a short-term playoff push.
Are there any good free agents left for the Vikings?!?!?!?!
Q: Who should be the top free-agent target at running back for the Vikings?
Brian Robinson Jr. stands out due to his previous production and fit with a Shanahan-style run game, offering a potential upgrade in backfield depth without forcing a long-term commitment.
ESPN Cardinals reporter: Work ethic questions about Kyler Murray are 'ridiculous' (Part1)
Q: If Kevin O'Connell called you and said, how can I make this work? Give me one piece of advice that will make my relationship with Kyler Murray and the Minnesota Vikings work. What would you say to him?
Coach him hard but fairly, allow him to do his job without overloading him with leadership expectations, and pair him with a dominant, vocal leader on the roster to balance the dynamic with Justin Jefferson's role as a franchise face.
ESPN Cardinals reporter: Work ethic questions about Kyler Murray are 'ridiculous' (Part1)
Q: So I'm curious how much truth there is to all rumors about Kyler Murray. Maybe we could start out, Josh, with just you explaining why Kyler Murray is a Minnesota Viking and not an Arizona Cardinal.
The Cardinals decision to move on came from a broader organizational shift; Murray's fit with a new coaching staff and system is plausible, but converting him to a Minnesota Vikings quarterback would hinge on how well the new offense could leverage his athleticism and development under a different coaching philosophy.
