No SHOUT OUT! Friday today for all my loyal readers coming to see the usual Friday fare. It's game day!
Viking Underground Podcast Nine brings a very special guest into your audio world. Joining the VU for a recent podcast interview was Rod Simons, Sports reporter/anchor, for local 5 Eyewitness News (KSTP).

Rod and I talk about the Vikings and the pre-season game against the Jets as well as some other fun topics.
Rod is a four-time Emmy and international Gabriel Award winner. He most recently won a 2004 Emmy for outstanding sports anchor and a 2004 Page One Award.
Vikings coach Mike Tice joins Rod every Sunday night starting in September for the "Sports Wrap" program. Tice and Simons will break down the Vikings game from earlier in the day and talk shop.
KSTP also has a very nice Vikings web page this season with commentary by Rod as well as Rich Gannon. Check it out.
