It's Purple Daily. welcoming in now a guy that I have followed for a long time and wanted to chat with and

finally get to do that Stephen Ruiz who is the lead NFL writer at USA Today's

for the win what is up Stephen how are you'm good. I have actual football to watch now. I guess you can call it

actual football, but I'm happy I can write about games. Isn't that great? Like even though it was a

pre-season game and by the fourth quarter I kind of wanted to

throw myself off a tall building of the first Vikings game still like having actual

things to work with it's been for people in Minnesota eight months since they've

been like able to watch a real football game and you know I guess the way this NFL schedule works you almost don't realize

wow it has been a really really long time

so it's great to have football back Stephen

yeah and it must have been great for Vikings to get to watch their favorite quarterback play last weekend.
