0:17.8	Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collard here and joining on the show the brilliant cap expert from pro football, Focus, Brad Spielberg.
0:23.2	What is up Brad?
0:24.0	Great to have you back, man.
0:25.4	Yeah, a pretty slow week in the NFC north,
0:28.0	not much going on.
0:28.9	No, it's obviously been crazy, a couple general manager decisions
0:32.0	coming down that impacted each other
0:34.2	between the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings so it's been a busy time how you doing?
