Intro to Scouting feat. @JReidDraftScout + Darren Wolfson

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings are off bye and will be back in action on Sunday Night Football (weird flex but ok) taking on the Coddled Chicago Bears. We brought in longtime Friend of the Program Eric Eager (@PFF_Eric) of Pro Football Focus to chat about if the Bears are legit or not, how the Vikes can derail the Khalil Mack hype train, and if the Purple are indeed that Super Bowl darkhorse. Plus I ramble on about Rick Spielman being a great general manager and also some HOT brisket talk. 

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings are off this week, but plenty of funsies to chat about on a Friday. Our guy Darren "Doogie" Wolfson (@DWolfsonKSTP) of The Scoop Podcast chimes in to talk about Vikes injuries, Joe Mauer's place in the hierarchy of Minnesota sports athletes, and why Bryant McKinnie still owes him $20. Plus I meander the Week 10 matchups around the league. 

Danielle Hunter rightfully won his first NFC Defensive Player of the Week Award. We chat some Minnesota Fightin' Vikings headlines as well as dive into the Blue Door Pub with Josh Pelto (@JoshPelto) for some Vikes Over Beers!

The bye week has befell the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings. But we're here to handout some (sorta) midseason hardware with our 5th Annual Vikings Bye Week Awards. Who brings home the trophy for MVP? Best Value? Offensive Play of the Year (So Far)? Find out! 

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings head into the bye on a high note and at 5-3-1 as they dispatched the Drowsy Detroit Lions 24-9 Sunday at Historic US Bank Stadium. The win sends the Vikes in prime position in the NFC North headed into their off week with Division showdowns at Chicago and home against the Greasy Green Bay Packers. 

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings look to beat the Dreadful Detroit Lions for the first time at Historic US Bank Stadium as the Vikes open up their home division schedule. Darren "Doogie" Wolfson (@DWolfsonKSTP) of The Scoop Podcast. pops in to chat trade deadline and Mike Zimmer's relationship with the media. Plus Jordan Reid (@JReidNFL) of Inside The Pylon. swings by to chat about macro solutions for fixing the Vikings offensive line issues.

November is the most important month of the season for the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings as it boasts three divisional games. Longtime Friend of the Program Michael Grey (@TheMichaelGrey) joins for a glance at the upcoming 3-4 Downward Detroit Lions. Later Pro Football Focus' Sam Monson (@PFF_Sam) calls in to discuss recent Vikings grades. Plus NFL Trade Deadline chatter and midseason prognosticating with Josh Pelto (@JoshPelto) and Vikes Over Beers!

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings are at the midway point of the season. How do we feel about the squad? We brought in longtime Friend of the Program Myles Gorham (@MylesGorham85) of Climbing the Pocket to chat about the Vikes, league-wide trade acitivity at the deadline, and if we think the Purple will make a playoff push this season.

Friend of the Program and former NFL scout Dan Hatman (@Dan_Hatman) of The Scouting Academy joined the show to do a deep dive on the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings defensive line, what the ceiling for Brian O'Neill could be, and his own personal Adam Thielen-adjacent scouting prospect (you will know the name). Plus I take a look at the Vikes PFF grades from Sunday Night, look ahead to the next three games (all in division), and offer a rebuttal to my guy Mike Freeman's Bleacher Report piece on Kirk Cousins. 

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings squandered a prime opportunity to establish superiority in the NFC by handing the New Orleans Saints the game (literally) 30-20 Sunday Night at Historic US Bank Stadium. We recap the carnage at the 4-3-1 Vikes look to bootstrap their way in the NFC North the 2nd half of the season.
