Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fanduel.

Matthew Collar here.

the Minnesota Vikings decision to fire Quasi Adafo Mensa.

My own article is over at Purple Insider. Football, laying out kind of start to finish

And then also Kevin Sefer to VSPN wrote about it, Alec Lewis and Diana Rossini at the

athletic.

from those reports.

And one very interesting hire that caught my eye.

And I've got a few fan questions here to answer as well.

Adafel Mensa being let go. So if you were just hanging around on a Friday, pull up your phone,

wait a minute, excuse me, what, they fired the general manager? Well, then you are not alone. It sounds

like a lot of people inside the building

had the exact same reaction. And if we look historically, there's usually only three times

where general managers get let go. In fact, it's happened this year where one general manager
