0:00.0	Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by
0:09.4	Fandul.
0:10.1	Matthew Collar here and joining me on the show today, Sam Monson, check the mic,
0:14.7	podcast.
0:15.9	Look, Sam, when they name a new general manager, who more do I want on this show to break down how Nolan Teasley can get this franchise
0:24.4	to the place that they have not been since the 1970s?
0:29.1	And you having followed them closely since you were a little tyke, you know the struggle
0:34.6	of the ups and downs of the Minnesota Vikings.
0:37.4	So we're going to break down how Nolan Teasley can get the Vikings to a Super Bowl. You ready? What's going on? How you been? Yeah, especially since I appeared to have been the angel of death for poor Quasi. I was talking to the man midweek at the senior ball and then Friday he's gone. So, oops. Yeah, you know, I don't think that that had much to do with it,
0:56.2	but the timing maybe was a little weird. You know, I've been thinking about the timing a lot,
1:00.7	though. And now I'm convinced that they should fire all general managers in January and have an

1:19.4	season before you really have to start, you know, pushing buttons. Yeah, they could add an outside
1:24.5	linebacker for a little bit of depth right now. But in terms of your major
1:28.4	moves, I think it's really hard when they fire a general manager at the end of the season, hire a new guy two weeks later. And then you're like, yep, so you don't know any of the scouts. You don't know any of the people in the front office, but come in and do an entire off season. I think this works out really well timing-wise for Nolan Teasley.
1:46.0	And for the Vikings to a degree.
1:47.6	Like there's a... come in and do an entire off season. I think this works out really well timing-wise for Nolan Teasley.
1:46.0	And for the Vikings to a degree.
1:47.8	Like there's a,
1:48.3	there's sort of give and take in terms of,
1:51.0	you know,
