What does the opening “Camp Notes” segment reveal about the Vikings’ OTAs vibe?
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. We've been waiting for months. We've been waiting since August of 2025 for the return of Judd's camp notes. And the SPF 50. Oh, this one. Is it this one? Judd's camp notes. The SPF 50 treated you pretty well. Oh, God, the SPF 50 was huge because it was a hot, steamy one. That was like a training camp practice as far as the heat goes. Did you get burned standing too closely to J.J. McCarthy, who was a little hot under the collar maybe yesterday? Well, we'll find out because Judd's going to go through his camp notes. We'll start with the quarterback –
uh answers and commentary that's going around the country right now and being dissected by everyone thor nystrom in the house from thor talks purple from football takes uh producer declan here but let's start off mystic lake judd a place that we've done some fun events the hop house and hopefully planning to do more in the future
Absolutely. And here's the thing. So if you are trying, if you and your friends are trying to find a place to watch football this season, and I mean the Vikings, but a bunch of games, Hop House is the perfect destination because they have every game on. We've done the draft party there. We've done events there. When we're there, there's sports constantly on all of the big screens. It is absolutely fantastic. It's also a great place to get a bite to eat, get some beers, some craft cocktails as well. And that's just the hop house. You go into Mystic Lake, it is a world of fun awaiting you. In fact, Might I suggest a long weekend there at the hotel. In the morning, go down to a spa. In other words, I could go on and on, but I'm just going to tell you right now. Go to mysticlake.com. Check them out because this is a place of a lot of fun. But if you're a football fan, Hop House, that's where you should be. Heck, for Thor on Saturdays and Sundays. Yeah.
It's like I describe it to people. It's like Minnesota. We don't have the sports books yet. Like in Vegas where you go down, that's the closest thing to a sports book. Like the screens per wall space, it's amazing in there. And then they have the ticker outside and everything. It's just like a sports book. I love the ticker still. It's a freaking blast. I love the old school tickers.

Let's start with the quarterbacks, and then you can take us through wherever you want. I was going to start with the punting competition. Johnny Hecker.
Did we get to see any holding yesterday? Like kickers and punchers? No. You got your eyes on Brett Thorson's holding? Zero. I did not get to see any. But I will say this. I saw the old man Hecker booming some footballs. Is hip hop out of the sockets? But yes, let's get to the quarterback situation. So, Phil, I'm going to have you read some quotes from J.J. McCarthy's what I would call terse press conference. not confrontational not uh not he he was not a a bleep hole to us but he was very very terse succinct and direct in his quotes um and i will start by saying this though so i think we should i think the beginning of the conversation before you read these quotes should be this
