Hey everybody welcome to another episode of purple insider Matthew Coller here and

unfortunately this is the first live episode in a while that I'm not doing before

those games because there are no more wolf games and I'm sorry for all of you about how that went down.

I guess trying to go live to jinx it or reverse jinx it into existence didn't work out very well.

And the wolves came up short against the Dallas Mavericks kind of wish that it had gone a different way

in that last game as opposed to everybody getting hyped up showing up at the arena and then having it flop almost immediately but such is Minnesota sports except when we're talking about the links so that's how it goes.

Vikings fans very familiar with games just like that, the 41 donuts and the only

NFC championship that I have covered the Vikings and Eagles

kind of had a lot of that same feeling.

I mean I flew all the way to Philadelphia

just to watch the Vikings come apart.

So I know how it goes sometimes and it's unfortunate but I enjoyed the run

of watching the wolves and I wrote an article about some things that the Vikings could take away from the

wolves run and their roster construction.

So make sure you go to purple insider.com check that out.

But the biggest, I'll give you a couple of them to start the show and then we'll talk

about mini camp and the things that I'll be

looking for this week but two things that I thought of were one sometimes you do

have to just go for it like the wolves did to get Rudy Go Bear. And I know he took a lot of crap throughout the, you know,

the whole playoffs, especially from Dremon Green on television.

But, you know, I don't know how any team could get anywhere without every once in a while trying to go out and get the final piece to what they have.

Now I don't think that it's completely applicable to the Vikings with Dallas Turner.
