Description

Step into the trenches with us as we explore the legendary Minnesota Vikings defensive line, the Purple People Eaters.


In this episode, we dive deep into the era of Alan Page, Jim Marshall, Carl Eller, and Gary Larsen, uncovering what made this fearsome foursome one of the most dominant and memorable units in NFL history. From their hard-hitting style and iconic motto “Meet at the Quarterback,” to the leadership of coach Bud Grant and their unforgettable Super Bowl runs, we celebrate the personalities, stories, and legacy that turned the Vikings’ defense into a football legend.

So If you’re still grappling to choose a team to support, if you’ve still not entirely sure what a corner back is, or If you’re looking to join a conversation about the NFL without being made to feel like an idiot- then this could be the podcast for you.
