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

Matthew Collar here.

And it is time once again for Tuesday morning left guard.

And when Jeremiah logged in to do the show, I could see the fear in his eyes.

I could see the terror, the concern, the worry because he thought we were going to talk about

Vikings and Packers.

But Jeremiah, I just can't do it with no juice to this game, no meaning.

Had the Packers been in a spot where you could knock them off the top of the NFC North,

then this would have been kind of great.

And if we were sure J.J. McCarthy was going to play and then it has something on the line,

oh, all right, let's go to the stadium.

But you've played in a few of these games, week 18.

You got your Louis Vuitton bags, as, you know, of course you did when you played

ready and packed up to fly to whatever location you're going to. So I don't expect much out

of this game. Is there anything you're looking for before we get into more pressing matters?

Not really. I mean, I'm looking forward to some of the games that matter. I mean,

there's some fun ones there on that piece, but I don't know. You watched the game last night and you go, well, Lana showed up and gave a fight. And so maybe the Vikings, but again, it's one of those things where it's like, just get out healthy. I think that's, you go into these week 16s ones and you're like, hey, come out

alive. Week 18, come out alive.

Don't get hurt. Go to the offseason, all those fun things. But yeah, I mean, I don't expect to learn much about either one of these teams in week 18. Right. Even if JJ McCarthy plays, who cares. Why? Don't even do it. Right. Don't even do it. It's pre-season. Because if he goes out there and sucks, then everyone's just going to remember him sucking going into the off-season.

If he goes out there and does really well, people are going to be like, did it matter? It was week 18. Like, I feel like just sit him down. There's really no point if he's got a little hairline fracture, don't make it worse. well and if you get another fracture of any kind you could set back a very important offseason for him.

And for some players, I'd be like, okay, well, come on.

It's football.
