and Hey everybody welcome to another purple insider and bring me the news live stream Matthew Collar along with Sam Ekstrom and I'm coming to you from my parents house because I was at my younger brother's wedding last night and so I flew

home and then I'm flying back and then Sam you and I are then driving to Lambo Field

for Vikings Packers where it's either going to be a huge

win for the Vikings that keeps them alive in the playoffs and almost in the driver's seat

or it's going to be a loss that we talk about like a funeral.

And rarely is it that a game holds so much in the cards for everybody.

I mean, not just are you making the playoffs, do you have a chance to make the playoffs but even

potentially jobs at stake with this game now say I want to ask you right off the bat I got a great

question for the Friday mailbag that usually I save for our

sub stack the Friday mailbag questions but this one was too good and I

wanted to start the show and get your answer. I was asked can people consider themselves Vikings fans if they are rooting for Green Bay this

Sunday to ensure that there is a coaching change?

Can you root for Green Bay and still consider yourself a Vikings fan?

Your answer.

I mean, there have been other times over the years when there have been reasons to root for Green Day that I guess those reasons

probably benefited the Vikings playoff hopes or something of the kind but yeah

you can be a fan in a lot of different ways. I think that you can get from point A to point B,

kind of the circuitous way with that by saying,

yeah, like I want what's best for the Minnesota Vikings Super Bowl hopes and if that means

falling to a hated foe so be it I don't think that endangers your fanhood that much

maybe I'm coming through it through more of an unbiased

sort of neutral lens.
