We break down ALL of the cuts the Vikings made to get from 90 (89, really) to 75 just like we knew you were craving. We also talk about more important things like the most underrated non-player Viking and the different animals that can become meat.

Episode Notes:
- Leading with a critical bit: I got fair food! I posted images on twitter. Here's hotdish-on-a-stick, deep fried gator, big fat bacon (on a stick), deep fried ribs, deep fried oreos, Summit on a stick, cheese curds and Sweet Martha's bucket o' cookies.
- I also cut off all the hair on the top of my head! There's an image of that, too
- Here's the weird story about Adrian Peterson and potentially another kid who may or may not incur child support costs
- Niner's Nation has a great primer on how the PUP and NFI rules work to start the year. I was a bit wrong, because I missed an additional six-week window the team gets to make about the decision. So, being put on PUP/Reserve means a) the player cannot play in the first six weeks b) the team, after those six weeks, has six weeks in which it can decide to either move the player to IR, release the player or return him to the roster by practicing c) the team has three weeks, after deciding that player can be on the roster, to actually put that player on the 53-man roster.
- Here's the Patterson kick return video, which looks sped up.
- Pro-Football-Reference shows that the Vikings led the NFL in field position after a kickoff in both 2014 and 2013.
- Norv called the Vikings "extremely thin" at offensive line. Hard to disagree.
- Peyton Manning can't feel his fingertips.
- CCNorseman's fantasy football draft guide is worth a look.
