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

joining me on the show, Will Raggits.

We are going to have a little fun summer football talk here, where we break down Will's

article naming his all quarter century team for the minnesota vikings and

will this is a great time in our lives to do stuff like this stop and look at the last

25 years and go position by position and name an all quarter century team so here's my first

question before we start diving into

each different position and all the individual decisions that you had to make was this a struggle

for you or did you find this to be kind of straightforward because as i was reading your article

which is over on uh s i on bikings and bring me the news i was was kind of like, how can I, how can I fight Will

over some of these picks? And I think we're going to struggle to fight each other, but we can

go through some of the positions that maybe were a little more challenging. Yeah, it was fun.

I wouldn't say it was a huge struggle. I was just kind of estimating with you before the show, I feel like 75% or so of the picks are pretty straightforward, and there's not a whole lot of room for argument or debate.

And maybe you could come out of left field and make a bold, talk me me into type of case for somebody. But that does

leave 25%, maybe a little more of the spots that you have to do some consideration. And I think

the biggest thing that I wouldn't say I struggled with, but that I had to figure out how to weigh

is peak against longevity. and how do we factor that

in. Am I making a team that is the best guy of one season in the last 25 years of Vikings football

to go out and try to play the best possible football at that position and win a game? Or am I going to

consider the longevity as well?

And I think you have to because the purpose is kind of try to reflect the best players at each

position of the quarter century. So there's no, there's no exact right answer for how you weigh
