Send us Fan Mail Pro sports fans in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area are buzzing with ... optimism? This is new. Naturally, it has nothing to do with the Vikings. But the show must go on, and while Peter and Alex assess the current Timberwolves/Wild moment, they also address the NFL Draft, the new Packers QB, and much more.

Send us Fan Mail Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is one of the most foregone draft conclusions in NFL history. The Raiders are more or less publicly stating he is their guy.

They also enter the War Room to decide where the Vikings and Packers should spend their first picks. Thankfully, the...

Send us Fan Mail While Bam Adebayo's 83 points provided a brief distraction, this week has been a full, hefty onslaught of NFL news.

Send us Fan Mail In a bizarrely timed announcement, the Minnesota Vikings decided to move on from GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Who is most at fault for the team's struggles since Adofo-Mensah's hiring in 2022? Peter and Alex dig into the facts.

The boys also discuss the travesty of the Pro Football Hall of Fame snubbing arguably the g...

Send us Fan Mail While the Packers were thrown into a wild coaching carousel with the departure of Jeff Hafley, the Vikings are still waiting to see what happens with Brian Flores. And a different person inside the Minnesota facility interviewed for a big job in Green Bay. While the Pack signed Matt LaFleur to an extension, an AFC team in a similar situation let their guy go. And Baker Mayfield is...

Either way, Peter and Alex are looking forward to an entertaining game at Soldier Field. Elsewhere, the coaching carousel is beginning to spin out of control. Peter pits John Harbaugh against the legendary Brian Billick (?) as he and Alex sort throug...

Send us Fan Mail The Joe Burrow-to-Minnesota rumors seemed incredibly far fetched, so the NFL rumor mill spit out something a *little* more realistic: Lamar Jackson to the Vikings. OK, "realistic" is probably the wrong word. But we all need something to take our minds off the complete lack of drama between the Packers and Vikings this weekend. Also in the discussion: Harrison Smith'...

Send us Fan Mail Packers fans were having intense flashbacks on Saturday night when Romeo Doubs failed to corral an onside kick. Now, with Jordan Love in the concussion protocol, hope is dwindling in Dairyland. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, the Vikings will be without QB J.J. McCarthy on Christmas Day, and the organization has some major questions to answer this offseason. Peter and Alex also update th...

Send us Fan Mail If the Internet has its way, Joe Burrow will be wearing a Vikings uniform in 2026. Peter and Alex break down the possibility of Joey B. stealing the number 9 from NINE. Meanwhile, the Packers are in absolute shambles, and the fanbase is ready to call it quits. Alex offers a poignant piece of optimism... if you can sit through all of the reasons this team will likely fall short.

Send us Fan Mail The Packers put the Bears in their place on Sunday and reclaimed the top spot in the NFC North. But waves of optimism aren't confined to Green Bay.

Oh, and the Colts might have a 44-year-old quarterback...

Send us Fan Mail As the Vikings' 2025 season crashes and burns, the fallout gets weirder by the week (see: Thielen, Adam). Might Kevin O'Connell's replacement already be in the building?

Send us Fan Mail Sunday's brutal 23-6 loss at Lambeau Field had the FOX broadcast team ripping into the Vikings organization. How bad is this situation, exactly? On the other sideline, the Packers notched a rivalry win, but Alex still doesn't believe this team looks "Super" enough for a playoff run. On the lighter side: Which active players are locks for the Hall of Fame? A cou...

Send us Fan Mail Finally: we have a Packers-Vikings matchup. A Disgusting Act has waited all year for this. What are the keys to Minnesota getting back on track at Lambeau Field? Maybe J.J. McCarthy could take notes from Jordan Love, who bounced back from a disappointing 'Monday Night Football' performance to star in the Meadowlands on Sunday. Peter and Alex cover all that as well as the...

Send us Fan Mail Peter is seeing body language from Justin Jefferson that he has rarely seen, and that's a major red flag for Minnesota's relationship with their superstar.

Can the Packers show a spark...

Send us Fan Mail After a "shocking" loss to the 13.5-point underdog Panthers on Sunday, Matt LaFleur and his Packers are facing a wave of criticism.

McCarthy bandwagon might be filling up again. Also: Peter and A...

Send us Fan Mail Following a dumbfoundingly bad loss and the inhumane treatment of his veteran QB on national television, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell has a big target on his back. The only way for KOC to shake it? Deliver wins with his least favorite player in the league: J.J. "The Rookie" McCarthy. Meanwhile, in Green Bay, the Packers toast to a beatdown of Aaron Rodgers' St...
