Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul.

Matthew Collar here, and it is time for Tuesday morning left guard with Jeremiah Searles.

And Jeremiah, there's so much to talk about with the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL.

I just want to spin the topic wheel. Mm-hmm. Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick. No whammy, big money, no whammy. No arrest, no arrest. Oh, wait, no, we hit. Nope, too late. Too late. No, that's on the wheel. where would you like to begin on the topic wheel? We have to start there. Okay. You have to start there because it's just one of those things where we haven't even got to the point to have the episode to talk about distractions in the off season. Like usually we have that conversation right before the draft right where it's like hey this is the

time of year that they've been away for a couple months everything's starting to get a little

squirrely they're they're starting to feel their freedom before it sucks back into oTAs like this is

the time apparently it's 10 days after the season closes is the time to have the it's really

hard to win football games with

distractions off the field and booney actually talked about it before with uh jim harbara used to

pull up before at the beginning of the season all the teams that won the super bowl had no issues off

the field right and the ones that missed the playoffs had the most issues off the field. And so it does

correlate. It is a real thing. And it's just unfortunate because a guy that missed games already

this year that hurt his team to go out and do another bonehead thing and get arrested. And again,

going to hurt this team and now they're getting cut, released, or probably being suspended again at

the beginning part of next season. So that's the thing is when we have so few details, it's hard to go too far down the road most

of the time. Like sometimes there are just things that happen and it's not as big of a deal

as it comes across or whatever else, right?

Misunderstandings, if you will.

But in the case of someone like Jordan Addison, he has not earned us giving him the benefit of the doubt that it's just whatever sort of misunderstanding.

And the NFL, the way that they approach these things, has recently been a little more patient

with the law playing out and what kind of charges are filed.

And we remember with Jordan Addison, that's one of the reasons it took so long.
