Thor Nystrom

Introducing Sweating Sundays with Thor Nystrom and Derek Brown.

Two of the best deep dive football experts and betting sickos in the country get together for an entertaining and [clears throat] hopefully profitable look at football.

That's it, though.

All right, Sweating Sundays.

We got an early look at lines with Thor Nystrom, Derek Brown, Declan Goff.

Here, an early look at some DEX dogs.

Uh, you know, accountability last week, okay, sometimes one of us picks up the other person, that, that's gonna happen from time to time.

D-Bro went one for three.

Shout out Isaiah Likely.

Uh, Thor though, all right, Thor, Thor had a little bit of an adjustment there, and now I, I keep hearing these whispers, and they, I, I say this about the Minnesota Twins at times, and I'll, I'll borrow the phrase and put it over here with Sweating Sundays.

Don't let Thor get hot.

Juicy weekend in the football universe, and we're gonna unpack it with our favorite and least favorite things here on Football Takes.

Thor Nystrom, Judd Zulgad.

We've got producer AJ Frederiksen.

I'm Phil Mackey, and, uh, you can take these incoming takes to the bank, North American Banking Company, which has six locations for the Twin Cities audience in the Twin Cities area.

Hey, hey, everybody.

We got Thor Nystrom from Thor Talks Purple, [upbeat music] Executive Producer Declan Goff, and I am Phil Mackey.

And it's been awesome watching this game with you guys here today, talking ball.

Um, and, uh, before we dive into, uh, even going to the stadium here, just your, your biggest takeaways.

And, uh, we will-- So we'll still be hitting you with, with, with daily shows through the bye week.

Um, our next vent line will be in two weeks after the Colts game at US Bank Stadium.

So for Thor Nystrom, for the Sports Dad Judd, Executive Producer Dex, our production crew, I'm Phil Mackey.

We just want the Vikings to win a Super Bowl before we die.

Great catch, Norman.

Welcome to Thor Talks Purple, a Minnesota Vikings podcast.

And welcome in.

It's a Friday, so AJ and I have Leighton James with us, as always, for Friday episode to talk about three things we're excited about and three things that we are concerned about in the Vikings matchup this weekend against the New Orleans Saints.

Uh, the Saints have allowed a 13% pressure rate, which is second highest in the NFL, and then we all know Turner, he's leading the NFL in pressures with 29, quick pressures with 13, and this dude is just such a fun watch, and I am so excited that he plays for the Vikings, 'cause he is just a game wrecker, and the way he just fits perfectly.

He might not be this one-on-one Miles Garrett type of guy who's gonna beat the offensive tackle, you know, play in and play out, but he's just a guy that fits so well with what the Vikings are trying to do, and Brian Flores knows exactly how to scheme him up, and honestly, he's second in the NFL in sacks right now.

I just wanna keep rooting for Thor's 100 to one bet here-

[laughs]

This is funny.

I, I was asking our guy, uh, Thor Nystrom, about this, 'cause he'll watch any college game with a directional school attached or not.

I said, "It's kind of fun, we have MACtion this week." He goes, "Oh, no, no.

MACtion's in November.
