What else can give you a wave of goosebumps like this?

This is history, two men with legacies on the line.

And then send you into a state of complete euphoria.

An adulteration, a tender party that's

stumped and breached two goals in the blink of an eye.

And then leave you with a tear in your eye like this.

Gave off his all in the dark.

Will it be his last? Thank you so much.

TMT sports, only sport can do this. Oh, Hello, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Pollard here, along with ESPN's Bill Barnwell returning to the show. Bill, how are you?

Matthew, it's a pleasure to come back to the show and talk about, I would say the most agonizing team in football in so many ways, like, difficult to watch, difficult to analyze, difficult to understand.

They're like a language that's been dead for thousands of years,

the Minnesota Vikings.

Yeah, I think that you just described it well

for what Vikings fans have dealt with this

year where they had high expectations coming out and immediately got smacked in the mouth

and last year though they never really recovered and you know they had in the hunt graphic every once a while but everyone knew like this isn't good.

But this team just when it felt like it was dead got some big wins then it felt like it was dead again, and then they beat the Packers, and then they

felt like, oh, wow, okay, now they're definitely making the playoffs and they lose to the Detroit

Alliance. So it is, it really has been, like every season for every team

is a roller coaster.

That's why this league is so popular.

But this has been the roller coastery.
