Everybody out here breaking down the inexcusable last play because it’s 1 play. Maybe analyze how this defense gave up 430 and let receivers run free all day… again.

Gimme a break. Nobody was uncomfortable with his approach because of his race.
Deion Sanders to the media: ."When you see a confident black man, sitting up in here, talking his talk, walking his his walk. coaching 75% African Americans in the locker room. That’s kind of threatening.".

Watching Kirk firsthand on the sidelines, never did he show any pain, frustration nor concern. Casually talked to the medical team. Needed help to blue tent. Loaded onto cart and cheers on his team. STUD.

Six-time Pro Bowl safety Harrison Smith will return for a 14th NFL season, agreeing to terms today on a new contract with the #Vikings, per sources. At age 36, Smith is still playing at a high level and can now add to his hall of fame resume.

Meet Kirby. Another gentleman and I found him standing alone in a busy intersection. I called the number on his collar and was happy to get him back to his owner. The owner is a retired Vet and Kirby is his therapy dog. Let’s just say, it was a very touching reunion.

I don’t understand all the harsh opinions about the Vikes draft. - traded within division (don’t love).BUT.- 2nd best safety with more versatility.- moved up 12 spots in 2nd Rd.- grabbed an extra 3rd. Fans are just mad because Cine is a guy they didn’t do research on.

I know a specific team that is looking for WR’s. Got my vote 🙋🏻♂️.
Breaking: Former 1st-rounder, FA WR Percy Harvin tells me: “I’m ready to return to the NFL. I thought I was done, but that itch came back. I’ve been training w/a former Olympian. My body is feeling good. Mentally I’m better. My family is good. The timing is right.” He's 185lbs.

Multiple teams have interest in possibly attempting to trade for #Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell, who will be in the final year of his contract next year and has had no extension talks, per @JayGlazer. Multiple teams have him on their board.

When we got word the game was postponed, most of the team got hammered. The night ended with a small fight on a bar bus between a player and some joe-schmo. Then we kicked ass on the field 2 days later. Good times. #skol.

Because football people know that Cousins is good. They don’t listen to social media.
Soon-to-be Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell conveyed a firm belief in Kirk Cousins during the interview process, I'm told. He's high on him. The front office must decide on Cousins' future due to his $45M cap hit, but many coaches interviewing for job liked Cousins, O'Connell included.
