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

0:10.1

Matthew Collar here, and it is time for Tuesday morning left guard with former Minnesota

0:15.8

Viking Jeremiah Searle, who now can say that you represent a Super Bowl champion. Did you have a good time at the Super

0:24.2

Bowl, especially watching your center plow over New England Patriots players? Yeah, it was a blast.

0:31.0

It was super fun. San Francisco, I think, did a really good job hosting. The security was well put

0:36.6

together. Like the whole event was very well run. And then obviously getting a chance to go watch my guy go win a Super Bowl ring to have three clients on Seattle. And to all three of them have, you know, that experience was really cool. And it was funny. One of the parents I was with had his uncle was like, do you feel like you kind of won the Super Bowl? I was like, hell no, I know how hard that is.

0:55.1

Like I had no, but I got them there. Like, as a player, like how hard it is to do that and to watch them be able to fulfill that moment and know like we push that ball so close. And like that's what you try and go for. Like I don't think as rookies, they really understand it yet. Like I was talking to a couple of like,

1:11.6

this is so cool. It's like, you don't get it. People have tried for this for decades and never

1:18.0

even sniffed it. And your first year at bat, you're hosting the Lombardi. It doesn't get much

1:23.6

cooler than that. Yeah. How does it feel for you to watch it every year? I mean,

1:28.8

clearly you're rooting for your guy and the way that they won and as well as the interior

1:33.9

of the line played and so forth. That has to be really cool to watch. But I mean, I was watching

1:39.5

Chris Long and his podcast and he went over and got the confetti that he had picked up and the man

1:47.9

almost lost it like just talking about that feeling and to watch the emotions on that field

1:53.9

even sam darnold who has been so stonefaced through this entire thing and admitted that when he

1:59.5

met up with his parents that's got to be like a conflicting feeling for you because you feel so good for all those guys

2:06.0

that did it, but you never got there. Yeah. Yeah, it is. It's a really interesting feeling because

2:11.9

it's not jealousy. Like that that's not the right word for it. It's it's such excitement for, but it just, it just doesn't feel the same. I mean, the player in me, that was my goal. Every time I showed up to April, they put the picture of the Lombardi up in the locker room and said, this is why we're here. This is the only reason we're here. Yes, we're here to make money. Yes, we're here to

2:34.4

win games. But if we're not hosting this at the end of the year, what's the point of even being

2:39.5

here? And to get as close as we did in 2017 and to taste just the tiniest piece of what that

2:47.1

might feel like and then to see them all come to fruition and see it all for them,

2:52.2

I don't even know the right emotion to describe it. It's not envy. It's not jealousy. It's just
