What is the purpose of today’s Purple Daily episode and the OTAs preview?
Purple Daily is daily Vikings entertainment. We just want the Vikings to win a Super Bowl before we die. I will ride with this group. Seriously, man. Please. And away we go.
Alrighty, it's a big day here on Purple Daily because number one, we're going to show you how wrong we were. There weren't that many things coming off the board, but we're going to give you the accountability session, the predictions. And today is Judd's first journey out to Vikings OTAs. Judd's camp notes will be jotting things down.
Did you guys see the Twitter storm yesterday? That started off with people taking clips from last year and saying, this is a Kyler Murray throw. But then the Vikings put out just a brief snippet. And they're all close-ups, right? So you can't really see much. But it's like, Kyler's throwing a pass. And I saw, well, Kyler Murray, he's working with the second team. McCarthy's with the first team. Because you saw Derrisa's jersey at one point with McCarthy. it's well i in some ways i admire the like just hardcore nature but i do hate the people that take clips from like last year okay that that's stupid that's annoying we have to talk a little more about that here and like first let's let's start the show the right way here let's get our minds right at quick trip and then let's i love the rabbit hole that you just opened us up for us before we get to the accountability session
It's incredible. Okay, we're going to stop in a quick trip. We're going to look around and we are going to see, oh, what's that right there you say? Quick Trip's Heartland Ice Cream, the newest scoop in Nature's Touch ice cream family, crafted to delight and surprise. You grab a pint for only $3.99 and let the sweetness sweep you away. I'm going to describe something here. And I'm going to warn you as I describe this, it's going to make you very hungry for ice cream. The Waffle Whirl creamy vanilla ice cream, chocolatey dipped waffle cone pieces, and a rich caramel ribbon swirling through every bite. One of 12 enchanting flavors waiting to be discovered. So check them all out at Quick Trip. In fact, I got a note from a guy or a tweet from a guy last week showing me a picture of someone who stopped in for the Heartland ice cream. We appreciate that. Always tweet at me if you stop in Quick Trip at Jay Zolgan on Twitter.
Also, Write That Down Wednesday is presented every week by North American Banking Company. Online and mobile banking are obviously very important in 2026, and some of you might incorrectly think that a local community bank would be a little behind the times in those departments, but they are not. In fact, I was just using the North American Banking Company app this morning. It is glorious. It is cutting edge. And you get that combination of the community bank feel with actual human beings that you can talk to and then the safety and security of your accounts with cutting edge online tools. So if you're looking for a better banking experience, maybe you should try North American Banking Company, nabankco.com slash Mackey member FDIC equal housing lender. We'll get to the accountabilities and explain, but.
Is it more annoying that in 2026, anyone can just like take a video or a fake quote or whatever and put it out and it just, dude, Yahoo sports picked that up yesterday and said, oh, look at it. Look at this. It's Kyler Murray. So someone put out a video from last year's training camp where there's fans, there's no fans at any of these like spring practices. And it was JJ McCarthy throwing a deep pass to somebody else. And for the engagement farming on the internet, the person who posted it said, wow, look at Kyler Murray already making a connection. Is it more annoying that you can just put whatever you want out and there's like zero process for the algorithm to say, whoa, this might not be real or the people and the entities like Yahoo that are like, whoa, this is great with zero thought at all put into whether this is an actual real video that happened at Vikings OTAs. It was, and maybe it's just a small slice of the internet yesterday, but it was all over the place for like five hours. I didn't realize that Yahoo picked it up. That's ridiculous.
