I'm I'm Hey, everybody. Welcome inside TCO Performance Center.

Matthew Collar here with another Purple Insider episode.

And look who's joining me.

It is Kevin Sievert from ESPNPN and Kevin, you ready to talk about

your emotions? Because that's what this podcast is. This is a podcast about our feelings.

You've changed the brand, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, we're going to talk a lot. Well, but it's also connected

to football as well. Yeah, there is football feelings. Exactly. Your feelings from

watching football. So here's what I want you to do. I want you to start right out with this.

Okay. I want you to use descriptive words about your feelings of watching J.J. McCarthy through the

first week and a half of full practices. Like what word would you use to describe your emotions of watching J.J. McCarthy?

I mean, the first word that comes to mind is fun, you know, like that, and not to be corny about it,

but it is fun to, we've been following the story now since the drafts, probably 15, 16 months,

if more than that. And it's kind of cool to actually

see it play out. Like this was the vision that they had, you know, whether he was going to play

last year, had he not got hurt, we never know. But this was the vision they had, I think,

is for this season, for all the work they did on the other, on the front side of the draft,

and then the work they've done since with him and with their entire roster.

And to me, like the top line thing is that it's just been fun to watch it play out.

It hasn't all been great, but it hasn't been something that you, that would reduce the level of fun that I've been having.

I think it is focused an emotion? Probably not, but that I've been having. I think is focused an emotion?

Probably not, but that's how I feel.

Like where...
