Welcome to the Peter King Podcast, so happy you can join me this week after a scintillating week of games around the

National Football League. We're going to break down those games and some of the

teams that we love and some of the teams we don't after two weeks.

I'm going to break those down with Paul Burmister, my friend from NBC Sports.

And then later on in the podcast, I'll be joined by Paul Allen,

the Minnesota Vikings Play- playman who is I would say it's fair to say still a bit apoplectic after Greg Joseph's 37 yard field goal went 18 inches wide to the right and cost the Minnesota Vikings their their 968th football game from a kicker, seemingly in like the last three or four years.

But anyway, we will find what the angst level is in the land of 10,000 lakes in a few minutes.

But now, hey Paul, thanks so much for joining me this week.

How are you?

Good Peter, after listening to that intro, I'm wondering who do you picture as being your MVP?

Your most valuable Paul here this hour.

That's a good one.

You are always my most valuable Paul.

Come on.

Let's not be joke about that.

Especially when I'm the one who's on with you at the current time.

Yeah. It'll be, it'll be good to hear. I read a great story this morning online from Mark Craig, a long time sports journalist up in Minneapolis.

And he's also a Hall of Fame voter,

so I know him from inside the room.

But he called, I think he called Minnesota the land of 10,000 missed kicks.

But anyway, it'll be fun to bat that around.

Paul, this occurred to me as I changed what I was writing about in my column at 11.15 Sunday night.
