The next episode of Norse Code is up and ready to go, just in time for you to preview the first home regular season game this year, against the New England Patriots with SB Nation Pats Pulpit and Draft Mecca contributor Ethan Hammerman. We also discussed the St. Louis Rams game and bring up the uncomfortable topic of Ray Rice and Roger Goodell.

Norse Code finally gets to talk about a real football game for the first time in a year, and we celebrated the occasion by brining on the Daily Norseman's own Ted Glover. Aside from previewing the Vikings-Rams game, there's brief talk of the preseason, news around the league, Adrian Peterson and a huge mailbag

Dusty and Arif get around to reviewing the Kansas City game, previewing the Tennessee Titans game and taking your excellent if somewhat confusing mailbag questions. There's a brief discussion on Matt Kalil, Derek Cox and some of the cuts, as well as news around the league. Enjoy!

Norse Code is back with another episode, this time with a final recap of the Kluwe saga, a recap of the stunning and bizarre Arizona game, a preview of the Kansas City, Jerome Simpson, Mick Tingelhoff's Hall of Fame case, and more. We also have a mailbag, but we're a bit disappointed with how small it was. Do better, listeners.

The Norse Code podcast is bringing back what we assume to be your favorite features, including number of the week, wildly irresponsible prognostications, and also the mailbag which was already there but let's pretend you like its inclusion anyway. We discuss implications for playcalling, review the preseason and training camp and discuss everyone's favorite topic: the backup quarterback

The Norse Code Podcast previews the Minnesota Vikings - Oakland Raiders game, and takes mailbag questions from readers.

Arif and Dusty return once again to create surprising amounts of digital content. Topics this week include Brett Favre's claim that he is "always a Packer," the opaque circumstances surrounding David Wilson's career-ending neck injury, and finally, a preview of this year's first Vikings preseason game, against the Oakland Raiders. Plus a mailbag replete with gambling advice!

Arif and James discuss training camp while Dusty wallows in relative obscurity (or rather simply could not make it in time for this podcast) and they go through the offensive and defensive depth charts, as well as preview what special teams may do for particular players hoping to make the squad. After that, they go through a mailbag to answer anything Minnesota Vikings related.

Dusty and Arif attempted to record a podcast on Wednesday only to have it premier on Saturday morning. Nevertheless, Dusty and Arif go over training camp and moralize about things you don't need to have moralized.

The Norse Code crew struggles to find things to talk about and settles on power rankings and a mailbag, though the process is worth the listen. You have a chance to be on the show! Listen to find out how.

Dusty, Eric and Arif preview the Germany game, predict the knockout stages and pencil in their favorites for the post-tournament awards, including the Golden Ball, Glove and Player awards. There's a brief mailbag that you'll miss if you blink and some comments on odds and ends surrounding the World Cup, including Luis Suarez, Miguel Herrera and Ghanian payments. Norse Code will be back to your regularly scheduled "football football" programming next week.

In the 38th episode of Norse Code, Dusty and Arif confront the dreaded overrated/underrated numbers for Vikings players in fantasy football, talk NFL developmental leagues, and Adrian Peterson's place among the NFL's elite. They touch on NFL current events and also take on your mailbag questions while studiously avoid mentioning things like the World Cup.

The Norse Code team takes a second to pretend to know about football enough to talk about futbol. We invite special guests and soccer enthusiasts Darren Page and Ethan Hammerman to talk shop about the World Cup before taking your mailbag questions.

Arif and Dusty go over the latest Vikings news, our mailbag, and hammer a Saints homer.

Daily Norseman contributor and Editor-in-Chief Arif Hasan discusses how he's encountered racism as a sportswriter, the questionable response from him and others and how it's affected his writing. Beyond that, Norse Code discusses rookie camp and answers your mailbag questions (rookie camp discussion starts at 41:10).

Dusty and Arif recap the 2014 NFL draft, not just talking about the Vikings, but about how other teams drafted and in which ways the NFL (and NFL drafting) is changing.

The Norse Code crew takes a look at the first round of the Vikings 2014 draft, one that generated the kind of buzz that the Vikings usually take. Just like the nerds they are, they also discussed draft theory and economics because why not.

Arif and Dusty set an unofficial record for least teeth in a two-man sports podcast.  Herschel Walker says he could still play, Roger Goodell thinks the same draft could be longer, and Wildly Irresponsible Prognostications return. Plus, of course, the mailbag. 

This week, Arif & Dusty are joined by erstwhile producer James Pogatshnik for a meeting (and spring cleaning) of the minds.  On the clipboard this week: AP's groin surgery, more draft rumors, and some fun thought experiements surrounding whether or not draftees should be paid and what one should pay them, as well as what constitutes a "character problem" so serious that a draftee might not be worth drafting?

Arif & Dusty meet once more to discuss Jared Allen's departure for Chicago, as well as the news that Northwestern's football team is being allowed to unionize by the National Labor Relations Board. Also this week: Terrestrial radio sports host in Denver mentions the Vikings in the draft, creating an opportunity to discuss QB selections even further.  Plus a very special live mailbag consisting of your calls, tweets, and emails, and much more!

The Vikings make some upgrades at key defensive positions and re-sign some familiar veterans.  Arif & Dusty recap the blizzard of moves the Vikings have made thus far in free agency and take your questions live on the long drive home to start your weekend.

Norse Code Podcast #028: Vikings Draft News, 2014 NFL Combine, Mailbag In this episode of Norse Code, the panelists invite guest Vincent Frank, head editor for eDraft Sports, writer for ProFootballFocus and Sportsnaut onto the show to talk general draft strategy and answer questions.

What started out as a crazy idea borne of necessity and then had a couple of false starts is now perhaps the finest episode of Norse Code ever created. Kevin "QuantCoach" Braig joins us for 87 minutes of deep football strategy wherein Arif and Kevin go back and forth about the predictive power of coaching statistics and the difference between planning and execution.  We bring it all back to the future of the Vikings as Braig shares his thoughts on Mike Zimmer and Norv Turner.  Tune in today...
