SoS Ep 24: Border Battle 125 Recap
Ugly ugly game by the Vikings as they lose 41-17. The boys recap everything that went wrong including Jaire Alexander getting into Justin Jefferson's head and making him the most irrelevant in a game he's ever been. This show was broadcasted LIVE on our social channels so we were able to bring on a special guest by the mysterious name of "Mr. Mo." He was clearly a friend of Eli's, but AJ and B-Rog were not big fans of his dramatically dumb and troll level takes. Tune in as we whine and complain about the day and hope to bounce back next week against the Bears. As always, Row the Boat, Ski-U-Mah and Skol Vikes.

SoS Ep 22: Colts Recap
The Vikings pulled off the greatest comeback victory in NFL regular season and playoff history to win the 2022 NFC North division championship! It was the definition game of a tale of two halves as the Vikings looked awful in the first half and looked like a Super Bowl caliber team in the second half coming all the way back from being down 33-0 to win it 39-36. Adam, AJ and Eli break it all down on this weeks episode along with plenty of other shenanigans. Row the boat, Ski-U-Mah and Skol Vikes!

SoS Ep 21: Week 14 Lions Recap & Alan Roach
Vegas was on to something...Vikings fall to the pesky Detroit Lions in an embarrassing defensive showing. We treated this episode as our own version of fanline and complained pretty much the whole time. But don't let that drive you away from an awesome interview with the voice of US Bank Stadium, Alan Roach! We had a great conversation with him and learned about his duties as a PA announcer, some awesome stories form his career and how he became such a big Vikings fan! Our interview with him starts at the 31 minute mark. Row The Boat, Ski-U-Mah and skol Vikes!

Well that game sucked...Vikings lose 40-3 in the largest point differential of a loss in franchise history. It just wasn't our night.

Four. Straight. Wins. LETS GO! The Vikings stay undefeated in Kirktober as they go on to defeat the Miami Dolphins 24-16 in South Beach for their first win in Miami since Fran Tarkenton was slinging and scrambling the pill. It wasn't the prettiest of games, but the defense stepped up big in the fourth quarter with 2 key takeaways giving the offense an opportunity to capitalize and seal the victory. We dive into it all along with some other NFL news, a little college football talk and of course Skol or Skunk to wrap things up.
