It’s “like” a “like” decent podcast. “Like” the hosts are “like” knowledgeable, but “like” speak at a “like” 3rd grade level. Makes it “like” a very hard listen…”like” think, formulate and communicate clearly…

I really enjoy your podcast. But there is one thing that keeps bothering me. Maybe this is my Vikings bias, but you need to stop acting like Jordan love and the Packers have fully arrived. They got hot towards the end of the season, but then, in the biggest moment, Jordan Love threw some terrible interceptions. He might be good, but there is no way you or anyone else knows that yet. To declare that he’s their “franchise QB” is silly. You never pass judgment on Vikings players without a large sample size, so why would you do it for other teams? To me, he looks like he’s about to become another Kirk cousins. Good stats, but they’re gonna have to pay him way too much, and he has wilted when the pressure was on.

They cry to much

Nitpicks: When you have guests on, let them talk! Coller takes 17 minutes to ask a question, gives his own answer to the question, then interrupts the guest 30 seconds into their response. I know the job is to fill air time, but dude... Let people speak! Also, if you're talking about someone specific, it's not "a guy like X" it's just "X". I know all the cool football analysts use that language, but maybe "a guy like" Coller can be the leader here.

Great pod. Would be better if you would stop slurping drinks on mic.

Jeremiah Sirles is a great time! Great job this season Collee. I was skeptical at first but I love the way you cover the team, notably your humor and matter of factness.

Host is thin-skinned and repetitive

This is a great podcast where we can get Vikings honesty with no fluff, and not too many commercials!!

Matthew is super entertaining and it somehow doesn’t get old even with a new show every day. Keep up the great work!

I really enjoy the pod casts. Especially the ones with Manny Hill. You both really complement each other very well. Your insightful perspectives and opinions are spot on I think. Thank you!

This guy is the definition of a “Monday Morning Quarterback.” He should change his name to negative Nancy.

Yup. Matt Coller & Co. provide insightful commentary with humour and solid knowledge & perspective. MC has been my go to source for Vikings information <> good to hear the new show ! - a must for Purple fans living outside of Minnesota. Plus I appreciate Mr. Coller’s “what does the data say” approach.

Everything about Matthew’s pod is great. With his knowledge of the team and straight forward answers. Only thing I don’t like is his constant poking of Vikings fans. Like making fun of them. It’s fine but it’s constant and he seems to have a sense of being better than the fans. And if you basically call him out on Twitter he’ll cry about it and block you. And his on and off co-host Harrison’s laugh is extremely annoying. The guy laughs at every little thing Coller says. So annoying. And last is Coller is so bitter about being let go by Skor North during the pandemic. But guess what, I’m sure if majority of sponsors didn’t drop he would’ve been still employed by them. He won’t even acknowledge them and just say “that other company I forgot their name”. lol. Really dude? Ok. Almost forgot. Coller can really ramble on and on and on. Times I just zone out and have to shut it off. I’ve been listening to him since the beginning and now he just goes on and on.

Dude really used the “Jimmies and Joes” trope and was 100% serious. Extremely embarrassing. Look elsewhere.

Skol

He’s the best Vikings coverage with wide ranging topics. Nothing boring here.

Been listening to Coller ever since he joined 1500 in 2016. Works his tail off on daily shows and has always responded when I’ve sent questions into the show. I like the YouTube channel too. I am so glad the show only continues to grow.

Excellent podcast, great content and host. Matthew is extremely knowledgeable about football, building teams and analyzing them.

Collets thoroughness and thoughtfulness when composing takes is really refreshing in a weirdly homerish MN sports market. Always a good listen either level analysis of the team

Coller is my favorite Vikings beat writer. I started following him at his previous gig when my dad died. I’ve enjoyed his stuff for years. He not only has helped me learn the game more but has made me a more enthusiastic Vikings fan. If you’re a Vikings fan, this podcast is a must listen.

Goated podcast

I’ve been suffering with the Vikings since the 1970s, and I’ve seen a lot of coverage. Coller is the best. I don’t get the negativity here at all. The whiners and complainers have no idea what they are talking about. Don’t change a thing! Walleye

Matthew does a great job providing insight on the Minnesota Vikings. He also does a great job interacting with other Vikings fans through his shows.

And it’s not even close. Objective and thoughtful analysis, insightful guests, and a pun or two thrown in for good measure. Listen to this pod if you want to be an informed fan.

Matthew is a top notch Vikings NFL podcaster and writer. Has lots of consistent knowledgeable guests as well, especially fellow NFL sports media gurus Courtney Cronin and Tyler Forness.

One of the things I appreciate about listening to PI is that Matthew is not a blinded, jaded, cynical, ridiculously optimistic Vikings’ fan. Like so many fans are. He is a fan of the sport and does a great job of bringing a realistic unvarnished take on the team that I have followed for 40 years. He has great connections in the football, media and analytics worlds and he does a great job of bringing those views to the public. Matthew uses analytics (as well as his experience and conversations) as a tool to show things that rabid Vike’s fans refuse to see. And he does it both ways: to the blindly optimistic he shows the areas to be realistic. To the hardened cynic, he shows the areas to be realistic. Matthew has never insinuated he knows more than a GM. Although, I have heard many fans claim that. Often it’s the ones calling other people a “condescending know-it-all”.

Purple Insider - a Minnesota Vikings and NFL podcast. It is the finest Internet coverage of the Minnesota Vikings team. Matthew Coller has limitless, energy and the ability to dig deep into every aspect of the Vikings. He has awesome gusts and he also covers a lot of fan input so the show is centric for us the listeners and in-depth about areas that normally don’t get covered. Highly recommend giving The Purple Insider a listen. Give it 5 stars, and subscribe!

This is a great place to get MN Vikings content. I don’t understand the negative reviews. Matt does what someone running a podcast should. It’s all about takes, using some sort of grounds for that take, and discussing it. In the grand scheme, all podcasts are speculative in nature. If it’s not what you’re into, go hide in a hole until the season is over so you can reflect on it. If you’re looking for takes with great guests, fun content, and MN Vikings news. This is the podcast for you. Keep creating content for people like me. Just a guy stationed in GA, looking for Vikings content to consume. Thanks!

Matthew provides a perspective you wouldn’t be able to obtain yourself because of his business relationships and insider information with players and the Vikings organization. He makes his listeners smarter, more informed fans.

Smartest Vikings podcast out there! Deep diving into all aspects of the team in a captivating and entertaining way. Great knowledgeable and plugged in guests from around the NFL. I’ve been listening since day one of PI, and it gets me through my workday year round.

By far the best Vikings podcast that I’ve listend to. Matthew brings in great guests to show and is very engaged with his listeners. The show is informative, funny, and NEVER boring!

Has the best takes and most enjoyable to listen to.

This is my favorite Vikings podcast. His content is unbiased, and he takes time to answer a ton of fan questions. He also brings in great guests that make the fans smarter.

He is great! He has great insight into roster building and analytics. Really enjoy listening him to him daily.

Matt is not only refreshing with his perspective but he’s an industry insider with his contacts and guests to his show. I’ve been listening to him for years and not only have complete Vikes knowledge but also league issues and players.

Absurd amount of content even during the off-season helps satisfy my need for Vikings info and gossip!

Some people think he’s too negative, but to me that’s because they’re so used to listening to kfan or other podcasts that only praise. I also don’t think he’s condescending to Vikings fans like a few comments said. He is just one of the few podcasters for MN Sports that can remain objective, but deliver news and takes on the team in a passionate manner. Also, he is constantly pushing out content. So if you’re a diehard like me, this should be your first listen. Arif Hasan and Eric Eager are my favorite guests he has on.

Good Vikings content!

He is smart, knows football and has a good sense of humor. A pleasure to find this podcast.

I listen to the guys over at SKOR, and Andy over at PFTW as well as the team sponsored ones. But Purple Insider is definitely the one that feels the least hype or click bait driven. Also the most journalistic approach with the best “Real football people” guests. Do what you want, but in me humbles this podcast should be first on your list if you bleed purple.

The best Vikings podcast without anyone close

There are a few guests that just aren’t my favorite. Courtney and her stupid draft scout persona. Got old after five minutes and it’s continued on for years. Human Joker candidate Jonathan Harrison laughing at the least funny things. (Granted we all should have someone in our lives who literally laughs at everything we say.) The rest of the show is awesome. Matthew is great. Give it a listen.

Matt crushes it. He releases an endless supply of content. He does a great job mixing up guests who bring unique perspectives. The off-season content is just as good as during the season. There is a reason I rarely miss an episode. Thanks for doing what you do Matt!

This guy is too negative and a know it all. Apply for the gm job if you think you know everything, Matthew.

This is a must listen podcast if you’re a Vikings’ fan! Matthew is insightful and fair in his assessments of the team. We’re fortunate to have him covering the Vikes.

Lot of weird reviews on here. This is by far the best Vikings podcast available. I’ve listened to most of the Vikes podcasts out there and Coller is insightful, objective, and analytical. He helps dissect the game and creates good content while doing it. His guests are phenomenal, which says a lot about the respect he’s earned in the industry. Hilarious that all of the negative reviews are “he was too mean to my team and hates Kirk.”

Not a bad show but way to many ads

When I first started listening, I thought, “Man, it’s kinda refreshing to hear objective, sometimes critical views of the Vikings.” But episode after episode, Coller shows little to no positivity about the Vikings. The Vikings keep winning and Coller keeps criticizing. You’d honestly think he’s a closeted Packers fan. It’s more about the mistakes the other team makes than what the Vikings do to win the game. If you are a Vikings fan that wants real takes, positive and critical, Purple Daily is much better than this podcast. PD will actually give the Vikings credit where credits is due. Guests on Purple Insider are fine but there are better podcasts out there.

I’ve been listening to matthew for a few years now, and i can honestly say that for the most part what he says it true. but in the same vein i can also say that the amount of pessimism he spews just it almost impossible to listen to sometimes. it’s like if we don’t have patrick mahomes or josh allen he’s basically gonna say we have no chance unless that chance actually comes to fruition.

Somehow this pod just can’t be positive about anything. It’s sad. Also blocked me on twitter last summer for asking a question on if he would change the way he would rank QBs in the draft because all the draft experts were wrong. Maybe form your own opinion… maybe not use other peoples work, then blame them when you are so wrong. Let’s stop talking about Diet Dr Pepper and actually do some work. I stopped listing for months, decide to check back in cause I thought there was no way this could be an unhappy pod. No is is arguing the Vikings have flaws, but admitting all you want to do is talk about how WASH didn’t want to win the game is silly. If the Vikings ever win a SB Mathew should not be allowed to celebrate.
