Khyree Jackson’s death has us thinking about life 

Alcohol in general is super over rated. But drunk driving or even buzzed driving, is the dumbest thing you can ever do. The amount of lives it has taken is crazy.

I think the episodes these last 2 days are beyond classy. Giving this time to breathe, having a real conversation about it. There is nothing going on football wise right now more important than all this

Dex is right. Drinking and driving is way too normalized. Quite frankly, drinking too much is normalized.

I think one of the problems is we discuss stuff like calling people out, force people to use Uber, or whatever. But that discussion lasts two days and then it's back to the way it was before. Distance and time pushes things back onto the back burner for us.

Let’s be excellent to each other out there, folks.

I quit drinking over 35years ago and I know what problems it can cause as God was watching over me as I should have been killed many times God bless every one that are trying to quit alcohol ❤❤

I think you guys have basically said what needed to be said the last 2 days in regards to life, and the possibility of alcohol being involved and the ramifications. I'd say do your normal shows, and also keep us informed on any new info regarding the crash. Maybe show some of the tweets from fellow players. I hope the team has a patch of some kind for him on the uniforms

Be thankful for every day you get to do what you want to do how you want to do it. I broke my back at 27 (23 years ago) and it changed the direction my life was headed. I try all the time to get my kids to go experience life. You never know when tomorrow is the last day you get to do something. There are tragedies happening to thousands every day.

If that person was drinking, they should get life in prison. Took 3 peoples lives, should have to forfeit theirs.

Situational awareness is one of the most important skills you can learn in life. A majority of accidents can be avoided or limited if you are watching your mirrors, turning your head and expecting the idiots will do the worst maneuver. People get behind the wheel and forget about the rest of the world. They will tailgate at 85 miles an hour, change lanes 100 times because they're angry and have to get home to watch tv.

Be excellent to each other. Care for and love your friends and family. You should absolutely call them out, because If you're scared to call out your friends or family for driving under the influence, that's not the right kind of relationship. My friends know the choice is mine, but they're not afraid at all to say something. My wife takes my keys if she thinks I'm too tired. That's how you care, by firm yet fair treatment

We have a problem in this country it's called lack of accountability both those who don't want to be held accountable but I think worse so those who really don't want to hold others accountable.

As a long time watcher I'd like to see Skor North continue to be Skor North. As tragic as this is and as painful as it is, it's even worse to just dwell on it all the time. Now let it soak and let it breathe for a few days or even the week, but at some point move on and let's talk Vikings again. Or you could even do some fun memory topics or just something to hopefully lighten the mood and remember. Plus don't drink and drive and if you feel weird don't hesitate to call or rethink. Life is too precious and short.

Excellent guys as always you're on point

This news has hit me so hard. Football is football, but I firmly believe the Vikings organization is the best culture and has the best people in the NFL I think Judd is so spot on with always having a plan before you go out. Always have a backup, and just make sure you stay safe. After one of my best friends almost died from driving drunk a while back, and another one that was my roommate died drunk driving a year later, I’ve learned that if I don’t have my car to drive home with I’ll never drive. I’m serious. I’m so fortunate to still have my best friend, and it’s a pure fluke he’s alive and I got to see him on the 4th a decade after his crash. If I go out to have fun with friends that drink, I have friends pick me up, and have a place to crash or a time to Uber back home. It only takes a few minutes to make a plan, and it only takes one fluke to end everything. I can’t even imagine how people who actually knew Khyree feel, but hopefully this accident can save many lives through awareness and somehow makes a positive impact in the world. In terms of feedback. I think you guys are doing a wonderful job, and as long as it’s organic I trust you guys to steer the ship back to football talk. The transition today back to football was clunky, but it was nice football talk sprinkled in and it felt good to listen about the Jefferson series coming up. That depth chart article upset me a lot. I unsubscribed because it simply sucked to read that article. I’m sure it wasn’t purely intentional clickbait, but I was upset they updated it to “even before the tragic accident” the Vikings still had depth questions. It’s just tone-deaf and it’s an article. Maybe throw it into the back burner yeah?! Thank you guys. I’m kind of shocked that this upended me so hard, but listening to you guys talk about your perspectives has helped me process it way better than just shoving all of the emotions to the back of my head and keep trucking along.

Purple Daily needs to be Purple Daily. The ship must sail on. May Khyree rest in peace. SKOL...

Honestly PurpleDaily crew, I wouldn’t mind you guys taking a few days off. There is not a whole lot to talk about right now. Maybe if you wanna come back for feedback Friday? Those are my favorite episodes. Maybe we could do like a fifteen minute episode of a few comments about Khyree Jackson and try to find a way to get the video out to his family?

I learned early in life death has no discrimination, young or old. I was ten when my brother passed away then a couple years later my grandmother. Tomorrow is not a given , think and stay safe when your out and about !

If there was one coach in the NFL I want speaking to my team after a situation like this, it’s Kevin O’Connell. He has 2 weeks to gather what he wants to tell the team. He’ll say exactly what needs to be said🙏🕊️

I never knew the man and we don't have all the details, but I believe maturity would have kept all of these people out of the situation.

Just do the show as normal, we (the show) just devoted two shows to him and talked about him and memoir his up bringing. That is all we should do. I lost many soldiers in war and at home, and we always say to each other, dont be sad about us parting ways, celebrate us and continue living like normal. Just continue the show as scheduled and continue putting up content like you guys have been doing.

It’s not just drunk driving. People need to slow down. If you have to be there at a certain time, take off earlier. Texting and distractions are not any excuse. You’re driving a car, and is considered a weapon with the wrong intentions. Think about what you are doing, when you get behind the wheel.

I like that you're talking about this. Football is a great diversion and I appreciate that your program is a great diversion too, but to not talk about this would be the wrong thing to do. Thanks for this episode.

My way of curbing my dumber impulses is to think to myself "no one plans to get into an accident". I only got to that in my 30s so not sure how effective it would have been in my more immature years. RIP Kyree

Judd youre right on target. As a 52 yr old, I had 3 DWIs in my 20s. That was the exact thought process. Young, felt invincible, and to be honest for me back then, the penalty wasn't that bad. My 1st one was $100 fine and lost my license for 90 days...when I hit 30 and "grew up" I took life more serious and haven't even had a parking ticket. When your young you're going to do what you want. That's never going to change.

Jud - fragility of life is so true - and unfortunately young people feel invincible - that nothing bad will happen to them. All too often they are wrong - Im 57 now, and I felt that way as well back in my youth. I was fortunate to grow up without incident - and changed my ways as I matured. I look back now and just shake my head at myself at how lucky I was. You try to communicate that to your children and just pray the message sticks as they head out the door to live their lives.

I quit drinking like 7 years ago. Not because I had a problem but because I was over it and i have family that has problems with it. I recently had a good friend die because of it. It really is one of the worst drugs

Fact that nobody wants to talk about police said this was high speed. Everybody wants to totally blame it on alcohol but going high speed down the highway switching lanes is just as bad and probably causes more accidents than drunk driving. Yet everyone thinks it's cool to jump in a car and drive 100 miles an hour down at interstate weaving in and out of lanes.. it is also a major problem not just drunk driving

What an absolute devastating news ever! What an absolute devastating news ever! Rest In Peace My Favorite Cornerback Khyree Jackson and I can’t believe this happened to you man. We will always have him in our heart and looking over us in football games. He gone too soon in the NFL World. He just made it to the NFL to prove that he was going to be Good and Best Cornerback One. He will always be in our hearts and the Minnesota Vikings will win these football games for him and he will always be watching over his team and teammates/best friends. Heartbreaking loss in the Whole World and Football League! Rest In Peace Khyree Jackson, Isaiah Hazel and Anthony Lytton Jr.

We have a weird culture in America (possibly other countries too) with drinking where you go out drinking with friends without a clear plan on how to get home, there’s an “eh, we’ll figure it out” mentality

that before we die hit extra hard today

The fact that Khryee has us all feeling this way is a testament to his character, everyone loves an underdog story. The fact he made Employee of the month in a grocery store says a lot about him as a man. Most 18-20 somethings especially this day in age can be lazy but not Jackson. You know he would have been a hard worker on the field. RIP KJ 😢

You guys can start talking football today. We all know its a sore subject and you guys paid your respects admirably. This will energetically hang on the vikings all season.

To compare what happens in another country to the United States in almost anything is not really feasible. Think, going from Mpls to say Madison, in other places this could be comparable to driving from France to Germany. Things are changing, slowly but changing. When I was in college designated driver was not even a term. I appreciate what all of you had to say. How this death was handled by PD will help move this issue forward. Thank you for discussing Khyree’s passing

The problem is as simple as dex pointed out with his friend. Our laws our are so lax on drunk driving. I HATE driving after midnight like Phil said. I WFH and live in the twin cities. When I do drive I can’t believe how unhinged people are anymore driving. Drunk driving was worse years back but a society as a whole what happened to decency post pandemic? 😢

This is the kind of quality I aspire to create.

I highly recommended looking into the Noah Presgrove case in Oklahoma. Still unsolved after almost a year, it was a homicide where underage binge drinking played a significant factor. Especially in rural America, there are entire cultures centered around drinking and partying, which repeatedly causes young people to get killed. You've got entire families consisting of dozens of people whos lives revolve around getting drunk. Saying we have a problem is an understatement. If you research that case youll discover that entire extended family are all alcoholics and it has resulted in 3 deaths over the last 4 years, including a 7 year old. They've gotten to where they just accept each death, move on and go right back to the same lifestyle.

My Grandma made my curfew 12:00 the whole time I lived with her. She said nothing good happens after midnight!!!

Phil, I think the answer to your question: there isn't a moral foundation to taking a stand against drunk /drug driving abuse, which DUI is not the only abuse. The standard you're suggesting is social, which isn't enough. It's a moral issue.

I’d love to see a patch for a game honoring Jackson, similar to what was done to honor Bud

It'd be great to see some segments that focus on the players as people, not just players. Reveal the person behind the mask. That's why shows like Receiver (and Hard Knocks and Quarterback) and episodes like the O-Line committee are popular. It's fun to personalize the players and get to know them as people.

I'm not sure how realistic it would be, but I feel like any coverage of Khyree/the investigation should be their own non-monetized separate videos. Even if they're incredibly short, it just doesn't feel right to have sponsors when discussing these topics/the Khyree videos will likely get more traction due to the tragedy.

The next few weeks you should rank things and/or revisit some of the most memorable (for better or worse) moments in Vikings history.

Alcohol is way too normalized in society. I’m 20 years old and the majority of my high school friends were drinking alcohol around 16-17 years old and I lost many friendships because of differences in our mindset. We need to stop allowing drinking to be accepted and constantly promoted.

About drunk driving: when you are out in a group, there should be at least one designated driver for each car, if there is no uber or lyft possible. This person, which of course should rotate among friends, does not drink any alcohol. And believe me, you can still have a lot of fun with your drunken friends. And they will all be glad you brought them home safely. Else, continue with your show, the topic of Khyree Jackson will surface enough in the next weeks. Hardest part of the job for KOC and Kwesi to deal with a locker room in shock. And maybe you guys had a few words with him at OTAs or minicamp? What was your impression of him?

Phil,,, Judd,, Declan I feel awful for Khyree and his family. I still feel a knot in my stomach. I think you guys handled this well as how u should had. I think my opinion anyways is to get back to talking football this week and try not to bring up Khyree too much. Try to get back to some normalcy in this crazy world we live in. Thoughts go out to his loved ones. I think Khyree prob would had wanted us to get back to football and carry on. So that’s that I guess. Everyone be safe please

The first tweet i saw i thought "why would someone joke about this" because it was so unbelievable to me

Drinking and driving is bad, no question. I feel like the speed and allediglly racing is glossed over. Young people forget that they have the privilege to drive a death machine and tend to not take responsibility, drinking or not.

I would say ignore topics about the defensive backfield for the next week or so. Let the funeral and some grieving happen. Cover topics that are not directly affected by the tragic passing.

I love having some drinks as much as anyone but I feel like alcohol should probably be an every now and then “treat” (like ice cream) rather than a regular part of our lives. The NFL has partnered with beer companies (now wine too) which has helped build an association between booze and the fun we have watching games. This fall, I am going to try to watch more of the games sober and hopefully I can still endure the heartbreak we all know is coming. RIP to the victims and wishing their families peace.

Drinking and driving is not acceptable. But Khyree's death was a result of speeding (which is also reckless driving). The driver could have been drunk or sober, but driving at those speeds will kill someone. Looking at you Jordan Addison.

Designated drivers work if friends commit to this and take turns when a group goes out to have drinks. One person is the DD and cannot drink and is responsible for getting the others home safely. Take turns and always have a DD. Obviously, this only works if people are riding together.

I'd say back to the normal shows with updates on what you find out. I don't mean that to sound mean, but there is also the fear of paralysis by analysis. It SUCKS what happened and he had suck potential. Also, you can't alter the show because of what happened either. In times like this, we look to you guys to help us get through it and give us a sense of "normal" to help us move on.

Is the Netflix doc gonna hit on Jefferson’s baby mama drama?

“We’ve all … most of us have done it before.” Nope. I have never driven buzzed, drunk, or under the influence of anything. It’s not that difficult. It’s a choice. If you kill someone while you’re driving under the influence, I consider that pre-meditated.

I just lost my wife unexpectedly in March, so having to carry on without her has been the most difficult and painful process I have ever experienced. My faith in The Lord Jesus is the only reason I am able to live through this. Seeing the news of Khyree Jackson and the others deaths hit me hard. James 4:14 for what is your life ? It is even a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Jesus is Life assurance which is more vital than life insurance. God’s mercy and grace upon you all.

What people need to to from the start of the evening - is to get to the bar or wherever you're partying / drinking etc. - by using a drive service to get there in the first place -

Now presenting drunk driving, Kwik trip, the gas station you can buy 4 lokos at

The NFL and individual teams have huge financial backing by all sorts of alcohol brands and they sell it to everyone who comes to a game too. This is always going to be an awkward conversation. I agree we need to normalize just making plans ahead of time. No excuses. If you rely on making a good choice once you have started drinking…well that is just not realistic and we all know it.

Has anybody read or heard any information regarding the use of seatbelts by the victims of this accident? Also, were airbags deployed? I did not see this mentioned in the police report which seems a little unusual.

This is the result of something stupid that most of us did when we were young. You want to eliminate it but it’s almost impossible. It’s almost the luck of the draw. I just hope they weren’t drag racing. In all my life, I’ve never seen a car so destroyed as that charger. It was literally as flat as a pancake. It looked like it went through a crusher at a scrapyard. They had to be traveling at a very high speed. I was really hooked on his personality. I feel bad that I won’t get to see him play. And I feel much worse for him and his family.

This is part of life and bad things happen but not excusing, only thing I will say is I get home early and nothing good happens after midnight. The young age also plays into it. It's a matter of making wiser life choices!

I feel heard

Im not sure how fast you should get back to business or the norm so to speek I personally when things effect me like losing some one I prefer to focus on work or some kind of project I just want to say Im praying for all involve.

Let's break from football and just do multiple snake drafts the next few days. I, as well as many other, find these to be really really fun. Obviously not forget anything that has happened but refresh and start over towards the end of the week.

Having a plan is the way to go. Drunk driving is no longer acceptable. You have to many options nowadays that get you home safely. If you take that risk you could change your life forever. Not to mention the lives you took.

My rule is if i’m driving i stick to ice tea or soft drinks. Zero drinks allowed since i’m a lightweight.

Alcohol abuse is American as apple pie. Bars and roads are American as George Washington. MADD was formed in the 80's and alcohol lobbyists won. Money always wins in America.

I think people will also drink then they might eat something and think there tolerance is better than the law so they drive or they even live "too far" to get a Uber.

I quit drinking since 2005 couldn't do it anymore there's no point any longer I'll have a hemlock which is water ftwdk I quit drinking when my best friend decided to kill himself his daughter his wife and my dog by drinking and driving and ran his mustang under a truck sad so devastated and my problem with this is it will be a slap on the face 😈 her parents have money if I'm not mistaken I do know she's out on bail 😕

Purple daily rewind!!!

“God bless the gals.” - Judd

Hey guys I hope you find this message. I hope all is well and would love for things to get back to normal. But if you are looking to kill some time I would love to know if Haaakuta SPIT ON THAT THANG and Sam Darnold are a thing. Rumor is Sam is all over that if you know what I mean. This is a win win for the Vikings. Let’s go baby SKOL!!!!!!

We are so far behind the world in the wrong ways.

Mama always said, nothing good happens after midnight.

Phil quickly breezing in a "we've all done it" when it comes to buzzed/drunk driving and moving on could have been the end of that whole conversation. If your baseline assumption is that you've all done it, the culture is too far gone to do anything about it. Many of us have never driven under the influence.

I think we need to ban cars nobody can drink and drive if we got rid of cars right?

He was a passenger. He didn't do anything wrong.

My advice to young adults nothing good happens after midnight, if you can’t be smart be safe.

The problem is alcohol! People don’t make smart decisions when they drink. Yet u don’t understand why people make the dumb decision to drive after drinking…that’s what ppl do when they drink!! Make dumb decisions. Stop expecting people to make responsible decisions when they drink. Just stop drinking.

We need to better as a society? Did you mean to DO better as a society?

Good show guys! Unfortunately, the topic is not only life changing but often leads to drastic results. I too was a witness to a drunk driver taking a human life. When I was just 10 years old, my best friend was killed riding his bicycle home after a man hit him and knocked him off his bike and threw him into a tree. He lived for 4 days but succumbed to his head injury. The culprit was a habitual offender of alcohol and sure enough years later committed the same offense again. The only way to reduce this haniius crime is to make the laws more severe. Let's face it, if you're pulled over for drunk driving, then you're lucky you didn't hurt or kill someone else at that time. You can't eliminate people, cars or alcohol but you can make the law so severely you would not risk the chance! First offense: 90 days in jail, $10,000 fine and all your paycheck for 1 year goes to the victim or cause of justice, NO exceptions! That is if nobody is harmed or injured. For worse offenses, the more severe the penalty It's absolutely senseless for Kyree to have died and any other victim of alcohol abuse, So sorry is not enough.

It's all about responsibility, and all of them obviously have refused to take it. Shame. As 4 the Vikes: the are cursed, we know it. So many deaths or devastating or strange injuries over the past years. Hilarious. The before I die stuff: forget it.

To quote WWE CM Punk Stright Edge means I'm better than the idiot who drives drunk.

Nothing good happens after 2am.

Get back to business as usual over the next few days, but keep a year long tribute (KJ symbol or something) as part of the lower banner

Nothing good happens after midnight.

Lets stop teen Violence

Alcohol is incredibly overrated. Binge drinking has been normalized.

Kyree not driving if he was drinking is not praiseworthy if the person driving the car he was in was driving after drinking. We just don't know enough yet.

You watch way too much garbage, Phil. Netflix, good lord never, Olympics good lord no, soccer no second since 10 years. Grow up and learn, what you can get rid of and instead spend real quality time. The above is all old world BS no one needs.

I know The hand wringing Minnesota people. But you need a real life chancing encounter with Jesus. The problem with Minnesota Nice it is a culture of I'm ok...I'm good I'm nice... but If you don't have Jesus you will miss heaven.

Does anyone on this show have any hope to share with us? You want to see the vikes win a Super Bowl before you die - what else?

No matter the circumstances three young men lost their lives due to a drunk driver. I pose this question does anyone know where Jackson and his friends were coming from? I highly doubt they made a quick trip to Dairy Queen after midnight. Total shame and waste of lives but let’s get all the facts and toxicology reports first.

This is a systematic problem with family morals and values and how you allowed to raise children in America now days it’s not just about booze

People don’t like to talk about it (mostly because the subject is misunderstood). Living life through the Lord Jesus Christ resolves 90% of society’s issues.

Can u get off of the cousins hate. He's gone . Stop macky.

I hope judd and mackey have kids! Seriously as a man thinking about death with no kids to leave no legacy is a terrifying thought myself. Skol 🟣🟡

Ship happens He just happened to be our draft pick Otherwise it would be a “lesser” story here locally anyway Yes, it’s a sad and tragic situation I’m mostly sorry for his family
