Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here.

And I have a fun topic for you today.

But I am very interested, as always, in having a fun chat with all of you this evening.

And if you were watching the other day, you would know that

intern Clay had his time shortened a little bit because I had to go to dinner with my wife's

family. So he is standing by very anxious to jump in. But where I wanted to begin the show today

is the other night when we were talking ball, one of the questions that came up was

about the 30 visits that the Vikings have had. And it's always been my feeling on the visits

that you just don't want to put too much emphasis on that when we're trying to figure out

who the Vikings are going to pick. And I also sometimes

think, I don't really want to necessarily guess it right. I don't care if I guess it right or wrong.

It's sort of like taking a look at your Christmas presents before you open them or something

or seeing your parents shopping for Christmas. So I'd rather be surprised and talk about all the options.

And I also don't want my opinions to be shaped by who they bring in for visits

because sometimes teams bring guys in on purpose to sort of do a little subterfuge or

whatever, make somebody think, well, are they really

interested in that guy?

Why are they looking at that guy?

And so for all those reasons, I've always put those aside a little bit.

And whenever I get asked about, oh, they had this guy in for a visit, my response is always,

eh, you know, maybe he'll be their guy.

Maybe he won't.
