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

0:11.2

Matthew Collar here as always.

0:13.3

And we got a lot to get to tonight, including J.J. McCarthy, a hand injury.

0:20.7

Kevin O'Connell talked about play calling and your questions and comments.

0:25.7
