0:00.0	You're going to. Hello, welcome. Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here and returning to the show because he was just tilted online and decided to tweet about the Vikings all morning.
0:36.0	Eric Eager, the summer sports show with a two-time GM of the year, Thomas Dimitrov,
0:41.0	as your co-host, formerly of Pro Football Focus.
0:44.6	People know who you are at this point. Huge W NBA fan. We got the league
0:48.9	starting soon. The draft is on the way. big 10 tournament in downtown Minneapolis.
0:55.0	Lots going on, Eric, what's up?
0:57.0	Yeah, I'm, thank you for having me.
0:59.0	It's always fun to hang out.
1:00.0	I can't wait to see you and all of our friends at the combine next week.
1:05.0	I gotta get your take out of the way though.
1:07.6	I know this is not a W MBA podcast, but are you worried at all about the quality of play in the league now that all the good players are playing for two teams?

2:04.5	I mean, people love these.
2:06.3	They love the Bulls, they love Super Star,
2:08.4	like that's when the NBA went to the next level.
2:10.8	That's when the W went to the next level with Maya Moore, Candice Parker, and now I think it can go even farther with sort of the social media effect.
