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

And I want to start the show before I dive into what the athletics, Mike Sando, was able to gain from talking with NFL executives about the off season by just saying

congratulations to one of us, Paige Beckers becoming a national champion today for Yukon.

I have enjoyed her journey from day one.

I mean, I saw her play here as a junior.

My wife used to write for the athletic and cover women's basketball,

and she wrote a feature on Paige Beckers when she was at Hopkins.

And now today, she is a national champion and very soon will be the number one overall pick in the WNBA.

So very, very cool to see that journey for a Minnesotan who went through a lot,

injuries, close calls, and then

today a champion. So an awesome day for Minnesota and for Pagebeckers. And I saw the Minnesota

Vikings tweeted out a picture of Paige Beckers when she was a little kid wearing an Adrian Peterson

jersey with the Vikings helmet. So Minnesota through and through is page backer. So congratulations to her.

And I was looking around for something to talk about this evening. And the reason I'm on

Sunday night as opposed to Monday evening is that I have something to do tomorrow night that,

uh, I'm excited about, but also will keep me away from being

able to go live. So I decided, well, I don't want to miss out on talking with you guys. So here I

am on Sunday evening. And hopefully a few of you are thinking about football and wanted to jump in

as well. Plenty of space, all sorts of room on the show this evening for you guys to jump in,

questions, comments, thoughts.

I'm sure you got draft on your mind.

What do you want to know?
