Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here.

And, you know, the last couple of episodes, we have led up to Minnesota Timberwolves games.

And it's been exciting to talk about, hey, you know, they could go to the NBA finals and

let's see how it goes and maybe they'll come back in the sea. No, they didn't. So, you know,

Timberwolf season is over, which means now it's officially Viking season. Okay, the Minnesota

twins are playing and are actually pretty good, but it's a long summer when it

comes to that. So here we are now again to talk some football after a grand total of one

and only one OTA practice, but it was an interesting OTA practice and for a lot of takeaways

starting with the quarterback. So what I want to

get into tonight is just how much we're supposed to make of what we saw from J.J. McCarthy. We've

had a day to process it. If you miss the entire breakdown with me and Dane Mizatani from TCO

Performance Center, you can go back and you can check that out from yesterday.

And my write up over at purple insider dot football where I created a criteria to try

to protect myself from overreaction when it came to this one OTA practice.

You can see that as well.

And so yesterday, as I was reporting on this and everybody else to the other beat

reporters reporting on how J.J.

McCarthy looked.

And then I'm looking through social media.

And I see back and forth because I follow a lot of different beat reporters,

the Vikings play a lot of different teams. So I want to make sure that I'm up to date on what's going on with the other beats in the

NFL. And then I see some other people who are analysts and talk show hosts and things like that.
