and Welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here and returning to the show.

I like to call him the Los Angeles version of me except for he covers way more teams than I do. Ryan DiRude of L.A. of as well as the national football side that is not going as well for you Ryan at the moment in your coverage,

but I'm sure your coverage actually has been great, but the teams have not been so much.

So what's going on, man? I mean, it's been good Saturdays, not so much so much so what's going on man I mean it's been good

Saturdays not so great Sundays but you know that's how it goes you can't have all

the teams doing well at the same time yeah we hope I mean we'd love four and

now every weekend but you know we'll take we'll take two and two or three and

one or whatever we can so but life is good and it's hey it's an honor to be called the

L. A. Matthew Coller so thanks as always for having me on.

Yeah except for you just have a lot more that you somehow handle, which is crazy to me because one NFL team keeps me running all the time and you guys do a tremendous tremendous job in covering Los Angeles football.

But you know I brought you on because I want to blame some people.

Let's point some fingers.

It's the middle of the week.

We've got a few days before this game of Vikings and Chargers.

Let's tell some people that it's their fault.

So who do you want to start with for the Chargers?

Whose fault is it anyway that the Los Angeles chargers are owing to and you know this is coming off of a disappointing end to last season.

Everything else I mean it's been a while while since Chargers fans have had anything to be

excited about. Who you pointing the finger at? Well, I mean, there's a lot of a lot of

blame that can go around. I'm always I'm probably different than most,

whereas I like to scale back a little bit and look at all the different intricacies instead of pointing like this is the one issue just because I think there are a lot of different things going on. I mean when you have the talent that they have and the quarterback they have and the

supposed defensive mastermind they have, it's like it's got to be more than just one person's fault.
