In the theme of Mad Men, Sam Ekstrom (@SamEkstrom) of 105 The Ticket and Cold Omaha joined the show to make it two dark, handsome, mysterious, and creative dudes talking about Minnesota Fightin’ Vikings football. No smoking though because: 2015. And no drinking brown liquor because: 9am on a Monday. (Okay maybe a little brown liquor)

Also in the theme of the final season of Mad Men, I broke up the chat into two parts. Please enjoy! Preferably while sipping an ice cold Coca-Cola.

Part I Talking Points Include:

• Do you watch Mad Men?

• Intro to Sam: Why the Vikings?

• Start with 105 The Ticket and Cold Omaha

• Takeaways from the 2014 season

• What’s Teddy Bridgewater’s ceiling? Current QB comparisons?

• In-depth ON THE FIELD Adrian Peterson talk

• What does AP have left for 2015?

• What’s the ideal way he’ll be used in the offense?

Part II Electric Boogaloo:

• 2015 Draft notes

• How many instant contributors out of this year’s draft?

• Is Zimmer THEE long term guy? What about Norv?

• I ask sam about the future of Cold Omaha and 105 The Ticket. Where will both be in 5 years?

• Sam’s STONE COLD HOT TAKE (It’s a HOT one)

• The Gauntlet

• Mild degenerate gambling chatter. Craps FTW

• #WhoYaGot

• 2015 Vikings record prediction

• Who plays Sam in “Cold Omaha: The Movie”?

• What would a show featuring Sam & myself be called? (Ekstrom & The Azian?)

All that and other “Rick Spielman is BASICALLY Dom Draper” chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!

An Andy Carlson Joint.
