and Hello, Welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here and this is once again a

fans only cuz we've got a lot of really great questions to talk about for this next episode and I'm going to do my best to get through all the questions I have, all the pre-training camp questions I have to make space for all of the camp questions as we begin next Tuesday or the opening press

conferences Wednesday we're out there for an actual practice and then we'll get all hyped up first practice and then you know they'll be in

shorts and just kind of going through a glorified walkthrough and then we'll talk about

the pads popping and once that happens it'll be the night practice

pre-season games and storylines will be abound who's getting first team reps how

everybody looks what they're saying about the new coaching staff and systems.

Folks, I am very, very excited for all of this to happen, but I love the questions that I have

and I want to answer them now but I also have to add this.

An episode or two ago I said hey if you guys want to kind of return the favor if I answer your

question or if you're enjoying the fans only episodes.

One way to do it is to leave a five-star review on iTunes that that helps kind of boost the algorithm

and help people find the show. And I was fiddling around today and I helped people find the show and I was fiddling around today and I opened up the comments on iTunes and there were a lot of them and I just wanted to say how much that means to me that you guys would leave so many nice

comments and five-star reviews and I am really touched by that and I greatly greatly appreciate all the people who listen

who you know are listening on their walk or listening on their drive to work.

Some people talk about you know just being more engaged and interested in the team and things like that because they listen to the show and I just cannot tell you how much that means to me. I try to dial up every episode thinking about what does

everybody want to hear about with the Minnesota Vikings and how can I make this

fun and how can I make this interesting and to read your comments from so many of you I just I just

can't say thank you enough so if you want to do that if you haven't yet go there

give a five-star review. I greatly, greatly appreciate it,

and again, cannot thank you all enough for doing that.

So, with that all said, let us open the diet Dr. and answer some Viking fan questions.
