## Resource

Paul Farrington and Robert "Ziggy" Ziegler are joined by Phil Mackey of Purple Daily to react to the start of Minnesota Vikings' OTAs and the QB battle between Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy. Phil shares why he believes Kyler Murray has already won the starting job in Minnesota as well as his biggest concerns outside of the QB position. Later, the guys discuss whether the Viking are a dark horse Super Bowl contender with Brian Flores leading a potential top ten defense and Kevin O'Connell commanding a loaded offense. Next, Paul and Phil share their top five most miserable moments as a Vikings fan... it is too painful to type out what they are. The show ends with predictions for the NFC North as the Vikings will have to take down Jordan Love's Green Bay Packers, Jared Goff's Detroit Lions, and Caleb Williams' Chicago Bears to return to the top of the division.
