Two Guys Who Ooze True Purple
I've been listening to Joe Johnson and Joe Oberle for several years--hence the name "Morning Joes--and they always have a unique and dare I say, oddly refreshing take on the machinations of the Minnesota Vikings. The two gents, a pair of unmatched socks, have a charming synergy, which is fueled by the neurosis of Joe Johnson, a younger man than the other. Joe the Younger articulates what many fans feel about the never-ending struggle of the Vikings to win a Super Bowl, a state-of-mind that no Vikings executive, coach, player or fan has ever experienced. We're talking nearly six decades of frustration, folks. The two men work together on a part-time basis--Joe the Younger has an indirect financial stake in the Vikings success as owner of a pair of Vikings websites while Joe the Older edits one of them. The latent panic of Joe the Younger when the Vikings lose or do something completely off the rails is amusing to hear. The soothing strokes of Joe the Older trying to bring some perspecitive to Joe the Younger gives the show a brotherly feel. Joe Johnson's written articles (and verbal opinions) are often train-of-thought screeds that are so creative and funny that one feels s/he is reading the reincarnation of Hunter Thompson, minus the drugs. Joe the Older often acts as the Crisis Cop with the blowhorn, talking Joe the Younger off the ledge. I highly recommend this podcast, and visits to Vikings Territory and PurplePTSD websites, for creative and often humorus analysis of all things Minnesota Vikings.Read full review »

I’ve been listening to this show for years now and always look forward to the new episodes! It’s not as stats-y (and condescending) as other shows, but you can tell that these guys know their stuff and have a good time chatting with each other. Definite recommend as an add to your Podcast queue!

didn’t seek out a podcast to knock it, but these guys think the NFL is stuck in 1980 and hasn’t been evolving at an increasingly fast pace over the last 30 years. very poor understanding of positional value or how to generate wins in the modern NFL. altogether, it’s just poor commentary deliver...Read full review »
