Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul,

0:10.6

Matthew Collar here, along with Manny Hill for the next hour-ish.

0:16.5

And thoughts, questions, of course, are always open.

0:20.2

We got a few things on the slate today. There was no

0:23.3

breaking news regarding anything with the Minnesota Vikings, but that doesn't mean we're always

0:31.1

not on high alert. So there was no Flores update. There was no Jordan Addison update today.

0:36.8

And so we can kind of open it up a little bit here,

0:39.5

1:36.5

if they are not. Oh, and hi, mani. Good evening. How are you? I'm good, my friend. How are you? Yeah,

1:44.0

this is, um, this is going to be a fun conversation tonight,

1:48.2

but it's still just when you look at all the playoff matchups for this weekend, it's still just

1:53.0

kind of unfortunate because you just feel like the Vikings should be here. We should be talking

1:57.4

about how the Vikings are going to do against, I don't know, the Seahawks this
