Although the Purple People Podcast wasn’t at full strength this week, the Minnesota Vikings showed off their skills in Week 1 of the NFL preseason.
It’s that time of the week again for the guys from the Purple People Podcast to discuss all the news, rumors, and analysis from the world of the Minnesota Vikings, despite not all the hosts being in attendance.
For this week, the two Kyles (Mr. West and Mr. Smith) are on hand to talk about the events from the week, including the first opportunity to give away game balls and award their donkey of the week!
Here is the video for episode 314 of the Purple People Podcast titled The Roc Says as shared on the show’s YouTube channel:
