and Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here back in the studio

finally from a little bit of travel and then some podcasting out at TCO Performance Center.

So great to be back with you all and happy to answer some questions tonight and talk

about a couple of big things going on in the NFL, but mini camp and

O TAs are over. So now we can spend the next few weeks having fun answering your

random questions looking back at the roster, taking a look at the entire league, taking stock

of where things are and historical questions and scenarios and all those things that we do during this time of the year.

So we'll have a look at all of that later next week.

And I have kind of a bit where I talk with some beat reporters

from some teams that the Vikings are going to be playing.

We'll jump back on that and have a little discussion there, a way too early preview and so forth.

So lots still coming your way here on the Purple Insider Podcast, maybe a little bit less frequent

than 10 times a week is what it felt like when it came to NFL draft season, but always fun to get together and talk with everybody.

But the best story of the day in the NFL,

the biggest and most exciting story was this built up penalty that was coming for the Atlanta Falcons.

Everybody couldn't wait. Shefter was putting it out there.

It's going to be this week. This time, the NFL is going to come down hard on the Atlanta Falcons when they announce that big penalty and bam Roger Guadell drop the hammer to the tune of a fifth round pick and a couple of hundred thousand bucks for guys who make millions of dollars and there you have it after a lot of questions on the live stream, a lot of articles written, a lot of posts on social media, and speculation which made me hurt myself laughing that the Vikings would even get a first round pick

because they had been so wronged by the Atlanta Falcons and Kirk Cousins and his tampering and that was never ever going to happen.

And I feel good because I got a lot of questions about it.

And every time my take was, eh was I don't know what to say it doesn't seem like it's really that bad and I'd be shocked if anything came of it and here we are nothing came of it so once again I'm playing the role of traffic

cop to is this a thing in fact I even made a scroll for the bottom of the screen is this a thing

so I'm going to use this in the future bottom of the screen, is this a thing?
