Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandual, Matthew Collar here, as always.

0:13.2

And we got a lot to get to tonight, but also a lot of open space for questions, comments, thoughts, feelings on the Minnesota Vikings as they

0:22.3

get ready to play against the Baltimore Ravens. And just being out at TCO Performance Center today,

0:29.6

Kevin O'Connell talk, J.J. McCarthy, several players about an interesting subject, actually,
