Are you looking to connect your brand with Minnesota's most passionate sports fans? Score North podcasts deliver engaged listeners every week. Here's what Pat from Padreggs Brewing had to say. People call during the podcast and say, are you open? I want to come there. We have people call who listen to podcasts who don't live here and say, hey, can I get beer in California? We've had a couple of people call from California, another guy call from New York. No, you can't get it there. We had another person drive here from Indianapolis, stopped here, was going to a Vikings game, was a big fan, and actually stopped here on the way because they were podcast fans and Vikings fans. So for us, we see really tangible results for our investment, which is good.

And let's talk about how we can grow your business together. The Minnesota Vikings select. He's a longtime NFL draft expert who's been sweating Vikings football since the Randy Moss era. Welcome to Thor Talks Purple.
Hello and welcome into Thor Talks Purple. It's a Tuesday, so of course we have the sports stat on to give us a modest proposal. Judd, with training camp going here, I'm very curious to hear what you were going to propose to the Minnesota Vikings. So let's kick it right off with that.
Okay, here is my proposal. And my proposal is as much for the fan base as the Vikings. But I got some guys I'm starting to see, starting to put the old eyes on, the binoculars on. And here is my modest proposal. Do not dismiss the potential impact... of a guy that we sort of, I don't want to say made fun of, but we certainly talked about the fact that he was a third-round gunner as a rookie.
Oh, I like where you're going with this.
Ty Felton. Yes. Okay. Ty Felton. So I told you guys, I think on Thor Talks Purple, definitely on Purple Daily, that I thought Ty Felton in the off-season workouts looked pretty good, like looked improved. Now, we've talked about it. It's football in pajamas, so it sort of has to be taken with a grain of salt, as does training camp. but that being said ty felton has had a few days and it's not like he dominates the entire day okay but he has definitely prepared himself to play receiver not gunner um and i take you to a pass that i know is floating around x in fact i think the vikings actually posted this so it's vikings approved yeah but uh kyler murray passed yesterday in seven on seven in the red zone drill
It was thrown high. Ty Felton skies above the corner or safety, I'm not sure which, and makes a one-handed catch and then controls the ball, toe taps. It's a touchdown. It was a thing of beauty. And Ty Felton is showing flashes now. Showing flashes. And, you know, I get it. Justin Jefferson, one. Jordan Addison, two. Juwan Jennings, three. I get all that. But my modest proposal to the fan base and the Vikings is, and you know what? If I was wrong about him being a bust, that's awesome. Number 13 looks legit. Looks legit. Deserves a chance. I'm sure he'll play a ton in the preseason. Famous last words, Thorsky? Be prepared to be pleasantly very surprised.
Oh, I love to hear that. And that one-handed catch, what an amazing catch yesterday by Ty Felton. Climbing the ladder, the one-handed catch, like you said, that thing was going out of the back of the end zone. He snatched it with the one hand and somehow gets the toes in, too. What an incredible catch, and we appreciate the Vikings putting that out in a great angle from where they did. You can check that out. on social media. But it's not just that one great catch like you're sort of alluding to, Judd. The OTAs and the minicamp beforehand, we were getting the positive reports from him. And now it seems like every day in camp, he's flashing in some way. Now, there have been a couple drops as well, but he is making plays out there.
And the thing that has been most encouraging to me, making plays downfield.
