Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here.

0:11.0

And we've got a little bit of news to go through, a little bit of thoughts surrounding the

0:15.8

Minnesota Vikings today.

0:18.0

But, of course, as always, want this to be very interactive. So jump in,

0:22.9

questions, comments, and I had something, it's kind of fun that I threw out there on
