  • Must listen

    Absolutely life giving to a Minnesotan living in the South. I eat up every second of the content as well as callers who feel the pain of Vikings fandom like I do. Even the coffee club content is fun and interesting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Minnesota Vikings J.J. McCarthy needs to EARN starting nod!
Q: What do you make of how well the Gophers are perceived to have done in the transfer portal windows?
I think they added some versatility, especially with the bigs, being able to play a couple different roles.
Minnesota Vikings J.J. McCarthy needs to EARN starting nod!
Q: Would you agree or disagree with the plan to basically have J.J. McCarthy probably start the year as the three and at best the number two quarterback on the Minnesota Vikings roster?
It will be interesting to see how everything plays out in training camp and how Darnold performs early in the season.
Judd Zulgad from SKOR North and Purple Daily on Minnesota Vikings offseason
Q: What specifically was that long-lasting impact of the O.J. chase?
Judd explains that it changed media coverage and set a precedent for the relentless coverage of personal dramas.
Judd Zulgad from SKOR North and Purple Daily on Minnesota Vikings offseason
Q: Could that option come internally just because in theory, that third wide receiver should always be in single coverage?
Judd suggests that the team might not need to rely on an external acquisition and could find a solution within existing players.
The Minnesota Timberwolves DID WHAT? Beat Denver Nuggets. Prep for Dallas Mavericks.
Q: Would it be disappointing to lose to Dallas, or let's say the Wolves lost in six to Dallas? Would you still say, okay, that's disappointing, but a heck of a run?
Yes, it would be disappointing but not a failure as the Wolves have reached a high competitive level.
