| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here. |
| 0:10.8 | And I got to tell you, this was one of those days where I could not wait to get home, |
| 0:18.5 | fire up the live stream and talk football with all of you guys because |
| 0:23.6 | a lot of stuff happened at Minnesota Vikings training camp today. And I had a feeling |
| 0:30.3 | yesterday because it was a fairly light practice with pads. And this was going to be a very, very physical practice because tomorrow I believe is going to be a very very physical practice because |
