and Oh, Hey everybody welcome to

to another episode of Purple Insider and another hot routes here on a Tuesday night.

Matthew Coller and Jonathan Harrison here with you and Vikings football officially back.

We heard from the general manager, the head coach, the quarterback,

the only old man on defense outside of Jordan Hicks. I guess Dean Lowry is also old. So the oldest

man on defense, but also the best player on defense. Harrison

Smith talked and you know what? There was a lot to discuss from the Vikings press conferences

today and then tomorrow they will get on the field and the last time I checked on my phone it said it was going to be 94 degrees so pray for me out there. Do you think that this skin tone handles the sun in 94 degrees very well?

I'm going to be spraying myself with sunscreen about every 10 minutes. It's not a good situation, but maybe like going in the sun,

I'll sweat out some of the summer weights

of just eating meat and Taco Bell all summer long.

Speaking of which, we got a new sponsor to announce on the show a little later that does involve meat but that's not what everyone's here for here for football talk we've also got contract news around the NFL that we want to talk about as well.

So Jonathan, there is a lot to discuss, but let me throw this

your way first because there were so many different topics that

Kwaisi Adafel mensa, Kevin O'Connell, and so forth hit on today.

What was the number one thing in your mind that was the biggest takeaway from today

with the Vikings brass.

From watching that, well, first off,

if you're stuck out at training camp outside

for the entire month,

your face is gonna blend in with those glasses with how red your face will get with the sun with the sun burn and everything.

But the thing that stuck out to me is that there was definitely a coherent message to from the brass about what the contract status is among everybody.
