The #Vikings plan to name Andrew Healy and Trent Kirchner as assistant GMs, adding two highly respected executives to the club’s football operation.
Healy, who will serve as the team’s secondary football executive, while Kirchner is widely regarded as one of the NFL’s top talent evaluators.
Last night, Purple Daily was recognized w/ a Service to America Award in Washington, D.C. — to honor the work YOU ALL, our amazing audience, did to help raise money in the aftermath of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting last year.
This was a cause that hit very close to home for our guy @DexsTweets.
While we all feel a little uncomfortable receiving recognition in the wake of a horrible tragedy, it is ultimately a reminder that we — Purple Daily, the @skornorth family of podcasts + listeners — are all part of something bigger than just a sports team or a podcast. We are a community. And we should continue to wield these platforms to help people who need it.
You consistently respond whenever we bring causes to the podcasts. And for that, we greatly appreciate you.
Please keep the families of Fletcher Merkel and Harper Moyski in your thoughts. And please know that Annunciation Catholic School still needs more help 🙏🏻
#Vikings QB JJ McCarthy on potentially wanting a trade:
“I think I made it very clear I wanted to be here, before I got here. I love this organization, I love the coaching staff, I absolutely love these players to death. This is where I want to be. I feel like I can thrive in this system. Everything played out exactly how I wanted it, I wouldn’t want anything else to change.”
@vikingzfanpage@SkolGjallarhorn@BenGoessling@KFAN1003 I know he’s getting a bit long in the tooth,But nobody can do what GINK does his role and ability on this Defense is huge imo. Need to resign him at least one more year.
Former #Vikings WR Adam Thielen on JJ McCarthy:
“Was there some things he needs to work on, yes, absolutely, he knows that. I think he’s gone to the drawing board this offseason, taken feedback from coach, and coach was very candid with him of this is what you need to improve on.”
