and Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here joining me on the show

a long time member of the Purple Insider tour of guests from Pro Football Focus.

Sam Monson, what's going on, Sam, how are you?

Doing well, how about you?

I need a better name for it, I guess.

The, well, hey, the right-hander out of the bullpen or are left handed are you left handed no I'm right

handed okay right hander out of the bullpen you are trying to throw 60 miles an hour I saw

on Twitter yeah yeah we we, you know, the PFF NFL

podcast has been doing the sort of charity drives over the last year or so, year in a

little bit, raised like 20 grand so far for various different causes.

One of the ones we did was, you know, how fast can Steve,

former minor league pitcher who had like a 95 mile an hour fastball back in the day,

what can he hit now?

You know, and more to the point, can I hit it?

So we did that a while ago.

That was kind of fun.

And then just randomly talking about it at the combine, I think, we were just pulled up the idea of like, well, what can I throw, right?

If I roll out there tomorrow, having never been a baseball pitcher, what would I hit on on the radar gun and we're kind of annoyed because we had the radar gun for Steve saying that we never did that at the time and some of the numbers that were being pulled out by people were disgusting right and I was like no look I can hit 60 right that doesn't feel like a particularly high number I understand like people have been sending me information about what their you know 12 year old kid is able to pitch and all that kind of stuff

If Steve can hit 74 and I was standing in front of that watching that come down at me. That's not fast.

If he can hit 74, I'm giving him a whole 14 miles an hour to get 60.

So that's our next charity drive is to see if I can hit 60,

and we'll raise some money to do that.
