And the Welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collard here along with intern Haley English who is just coming off dropping some hot hot fire in her most recent article.

0:30.6

Actually Haley, it goes back to a conversation we had last week about the NFC

0:35.2

quarterbacks and you ranked the NFC quarterbacks only you included Lamar Jackson just to ignite the internet as much as you could. So what is going on? How are you?

0:46.2

I'm doing well. Yeah, I liked ranking these Guider racks because there's not a lot of great
