The Love Boat

Brev Bane (@brevmanbane on Twitter) joins Matt and Preet to discuss the Draft the Minnesota Vikings had, and boy was it a doozy. The guys also bring up a couple of UDFAs they like and have some fun Super Gremlin submissions. Nothing but positivity this week on the Love Boat!

This week, Matt & Preet tackle the two likeliest scenarios for the Minnesota Vikings in this draft. A trade up to #3 and up to #4-5. There are two main quarterbacks rumored to land in Minnesota and there are two ways to get them. This is what the draft for each looks like. Thanks for listening!

Matt, Preet, and Carter discuss four more later-round prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft this week. With draft day coming up it only makes sense to discuss the needs beyond QB. The prospects fill gaps at RB, DL, and CB in the 4th round and beyond. We also have one of the best Super Gremlin segments of all time thanks to Preet's personal hero Orenthal James Simpson being in the headlines this week. All that and more on this week's episode of the Love Boat!

This week Matt, Preet, and Carter discuss the big three. JJ McCarthy, Drake Maye, and Michael Penix are probably the top choices for the QB-needy Minnesota Vikings and the crew talks about them all. Whether it's Maye being worth the cost to trade up or McCarthy being a happy medium of the three options. All that and more this week on the Love Boat Pod! Thanks for listening.

Preet and Carter share 4 skill position players in the upcoming NFL draft that people aren't talking about. These are players who the Minnesota Vikings should take a hard long look at in April. This is a series that will continue up until draft day until Vikings fans know who the QB of the future will be and more! Thanks for listening!

This week the Loveboat Crew talks about everything leading up to the draft and 2024 season. From the Minnesota Vikings structuring Sam Darnold's contract uniquely, Shaquill Griffin filling holes on the roster, and the new steam from draft rumors. This is a fun short episode with many quick-hitting topics. Thanks for listening!

Brevan Bane (@brevmanbane) joins the Love Boat Crew to dissect the trade the Minnesota Vikings made with the Houston Texans. We also discuss the likelihood of a trade-up for a QB, it's inevitable at this point. Will the trade be before draft day? Can the Vikings move all the way up to 3? Drake Maye or McCarthy? All that and more this week on the Love Boat! Thanks for listening and check out the Skolcial Network podcast (Preet was on there).

Matt, Preet, & Carter discuss Kirk Cousins taking a 4-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons, big-name free-agent acquisitions/departures, and Sam Darnold. All that and more make this one of the most packed episodes yet! Thanks for listening to the Love Boat!

Arif Hasan joins the Love Boat boys this week, and he's coming in hot straight from the NFL Combine in Indianapolis! Arif brings a lot of good QB prospects and first-round talent that the Minnesota Vikings should be interested in. His certainty about Kirk Cousins returning has dropped since talking with NFL execs and coaches this past weekend and he gets us up to speed on everything NFL draft-related. Thanks for listening!

It's here. Carter, Preet, and special guest Joe "JPG" Gill go through the events leading up to and after the "Love Boat" party scandal that plagued the treacherous white caps of Lake Minnetonka in 2005. Learn what a 'Whizzinator' is and far more about Bryant McKinnie than you ever needed to on this highly anticipated and timeless episode of the Love Boat podcast! Listener beware, this is not for the faint of heart.

Matt, Preet, and Carter review the Super Bowl this week. No one was surprised the Kansas City Chiefs won, but at least it was a good game all things considered. The crew also speculates what the Minnesota Vikings need to tackle first in the offseason now that the 2023-24 NFL season is over. All that and more this week on the Love Boat!

Matt, Preet, and Carter are back after a short break this week to talk about the Conference Championships and the Super Bowl! Maybe even some Pro Bowl talk slips in through the gaps.

Thanks for listening!

Matt, Preet, and Carter talk about the playoff games we all saw this week and what to expect in the NFL Conference Championship round.

Matt & Carter talk about the Vikings' tough loss against the Packers in Minnesota and the team's near future. There's some reflection and deflection as we make fun of Carter's team, the Carolina Panthers, so we Vikings fans aren't the only ones suffering. With terrible odds of the Vikings making the playoffs, it's time to look forward and stay positive about the future! Thanks for listening!

The crew debates what the Vikings' next move is. It's tough to say what the reality of a "tank" is but moving some assets and garnering draft picks doesn't sound so bad...
