The people of #Minnesota are what make this State truly wonderful. I’m reminded of a quote from Saint Mother Teresa, “What can you do to promote world #peace, go home and love your family.” I believe this starts with better loving our wives, children, and extended family. It extends to our work family, our school family, sports activity family, our church family, and even our neighborhood family. Even with those whom we don’t see “eye to eye.” She dedicated her life to serving the poorest of the poor and the marginalized in the slums of Calcutta, India. She loved those left to die on the side of the streets. This was her family. I believe a single act of #kindness can transform the hearts of those we encounter. Far more than angry chants. “Peace begins with a smile”, she would say. For those feeling the heaviness today, I think a simple smile directed to a perfect stranger is great place for each of us to start. ❤️ #MinnesotaNice #MotherTeresa

100% true!!!

Well, well…

I do appreciate some random #datadriven insights…

People forget Greenway tore his ACL as a rookie, and missed his first season after being picked #17 overall. I’m really not too concerned if they “take it slow” with Caleb Banks and ease him into the DL rotation around the bye week. Im more interested in, how does the kid look over the next 7-8 years.

20 years ago today the #vikings drafted Chad Greenway.

@iluminatibot @grok what can you do to hedge against this hyper inflation?

Billionaire investor Ron Baron explains the silent math destroying your wealth. Your money loses 4 to 5% of its purchasing power every single year. The economy grinds higher at roughly 2%. That is a relentless 7% headwind against you, annually. What that really means. Prices double every 10 to 12 years. Your savings are cut in half in real terms within about 15 years. Cash sitting idle is not safe, it is decaying. The system is structurally engineered to punish savers and force capital into risk just to survive.

Steve Smith SR, a HOF finalist in 2025, said that Georgia did #Vikings UDFA wide receiver Dillon Bell a “disservice” by limiting his opportunities and keeping in a condensed, run heavy system that didn’t allow him to showcase his true skills at WR, via Steve Smith’s NFL Draft Breakdowns on YouTube. Smith believes Bell will be much more effective once he can focus solely on player WR in the NFL. “This is a kid who you get him in the building, and you coach him up, he can really surprise you.”

@J_D_Cameron Guilty as charged. Man I sure do hope he can stay healthy for a full season. 🤞

Haven’t heard much from the ‘Connor Prielipp is definitely a reliever’ crowd in the last ten days…

@melefante6 Tax

My wife quit her job and made us $1 million. Not in revenue. In tax savings. The IRS has a designation that lets a stay-at-home spouse use real estate depreciation to wipe out your entire W-2 tax bill.  If you own a short-term rental, you don't even need that status… And you both can still work your W2 jobs... You just need to work 100+ hours a year on your properties and more than anyone else. That's less than 2 hours a week. We used this strategy to save over $1 million in taxes last year.  The tax code rewards asset owners.  Most people just never learn the rules. Comment TAX and I'll send you a full breakdown of how it works.

@Seth_3773 @grok who was this player, are they okay?

Dude….. pull the bat back? What are you doing?

Jaden McDaniels says he spoke with Anthony Edwards briefly at halftime after Edwards’ injury occurred: “Told him we’d win the game and handle business”

@MathBomb #Vikings UDFA

Cam'Ron Stewart is a DE prospect in the 2026 draft class. He scored a 8.16 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 394 out of 2137 DE from 1987 to 2026. ras.football/ras-informatio…

@DearS_o_n Amen! 🙏🏻

Maturing is realizing when you wake up randomly at 3am you’re supposed to PRAY over your home, your mind, over your children. Then sit and listen to what God tells you to do next.

Your income is strongly predicted by your parents’ income. “Self-made” is rarer than people think.

@DearS_o_n ❤️‍🔥

Having kids is great, but staying alive to raise them is a real blessing. To all the dads out here, I wish you a long and a healthy life.

New Vikings T Caleb Tiernan was asked last night about his arm length, and gave maybe my favorite quote of the weekend: "It's not an arm length competition on the field. It's a physicality competition. I feel like I've got that, and that's what's allowed me to succeed."

Bredeson might be the only immediate stater from this class, but lots of guys who will contribute as rookies: 🏈 1.18: Caleb Banks, DT - Has a chance to be a wrecking ball & perennial Pro-Bowl talent if he can stay healthy. Boom-bust pick right here, new GM wasn’t afraid to take a swing. 🏈 2.51: Jake Golday, LB - Experienced and versatile defender who fits Flores scheme perfectly, he can do many of the same things as Van Ginkel, or eventually replace Blake Cashman as a starter at ILB. 🏈 3.82: Domonique Orange, DT - True anchor for a 3-4 defense, has a chance to compete with Drake-Rodriguez as a Day-1 starter, as a 2-down NT. 🏈 3.97: Caleb Tiernan, OT —Northwestern - Long and productive OT who will have a chance to compete at RT/RG. His floor is a good swing-tackle, but his upside is O’Neill’s replacement in a year or two. 🏈 3.98: Jakobe Thomas, S - Physical and instinctual safety. A more athletic version of Josh Metellus, and a proven playmaker for big-time FBS program. 🏈 5.159: Max Bredeson, FB/TE - a true HB type player that KOC can move around in 12-personnel like Shannahan does with Kyle Juszczyk. “Fox Hole” type of guy, could be a starter for the next decade. 🏈 5.163: Charles Demmings, CB - Long athletic small-school DB, which Flores plenty of experience turning into productive players in his system. 🏈 6.198: Demond Claiborne, RB - It sounds like this was the “playmaker” the Vikings had their eyes on all along. Explosive 4.37 speed, solid hands, eventual replacement for Aaron Jones. Rarely does a 6th round pick feel this certain to make the team & actually contribute. 🏈 7.235: Gavin Gerhardt, C - experienced starter with a 6’4” frame and great PFF grades in pass protection. Long-shot to make the roster behind Brandel/Jurgens, but should get a practice squad spot. Future as a backup iOL. Feels like a draft class prioritized toughness and experience, and could produce 4-5 solid starters, even if Banks flames out. If Banks works out on the other hand, oh boy. 👀

Solid B-grade draft for the #Vikings. Clearly Rob Brzezinski was in lock-step with the coaching staff, priorities toughness, and overall scheme fits. In 2-3 years, feels like there could realistically be 4-5 starters from this group.

#Vikings trade up to 198 for Wake Forest RB Demond Claiborne

@Vikeologist I like this pick honestly, I think they’ll use him as a true H-Back, Kyle Juszczyk type player. Tried to use Ham/Oliver in this role in recent years, but never felt like a great fit. Lockeroom guy & special teams ace.

Max Bredeson will quickly become a fan favorite
