The owners' meetings were relatively uneventful for the Vikings,
00:03
but Mark Wilf said something that you need to pay attention to.
00:09
The NFL owners' meetings were held in Minnesota
00:12
like they were last year at this time,
00:14
and it feels like Minnesota is going to be a continuous place
00:17
where the owners' meetings are held,
00:19
because one, May's a beautiful time of year here,
00:22
except the last couple days has been pretty rainy,
00:24
but it's comfortable, it's not overly hot, not overly cold,
00:28
usually in the 70s, very nice.
00:31
And there was a lot that came out,
00:33
including a potential ban of the Tush Push.
00:36
Well, the Minnesota Vikings, well, they voted against it,
00:41
but that's not what's important here.
00:42
What's interesting is the comments that Mark Wilf had,
00:45
and Wilf and his brother Ziggy took control of the team 20 years ago
00:50
at these very same owners' meetings.
00:53
So there has been a little bit of a history there,
00:56
which is why he ended up talking to Paul Allen,
00:59
the voice of the Vikings.
01:00
And he talked about J.J. McCarthy,
01:02
because he was asked, like, what do you think of McCarthy?
01:05
And these words I think you really need to take into consideration.
01:08
This is what he had to say, and it's huge.
01:12
Mark said he has a gravitational pull as a leader.
01:14
He really does.
01:15
I think the way the players support him, the talent is there.
01:19
Coach O'Connell's glowing in his praises
01:21
of how he's handled everything today,
01:23
and from an off-the-field perspective,
01:25
we couldn't be happier.
01:26
So all the things are pointing the right direction,
01:28
and we're going to be supporting J.J.
01:30
to have him be the success we want him to be.
01:33
Yeah, that's awesome.
01:34
The owner sees what kind of human being this is,
01:37
because that's the big thing.
01:38
A lot of people can scout talent,
01:40
and that's still really difficult to do.
01:42
But can you identify the human?
01:44
Can you find the right human being
01:48
to lead your organization,
01:50
to get guys to buy in?
01:53
That's hard to do.
01:55
It's hard to find the right guy.
01:58
Heck, we know now that Peyton Manning is a Hall of Famer,
02:01
and Ryan Leaf was a mega bust,
02:03
but in that 1998 NFL draft lead-up,
02:06
we had no idea who's going to be the better guy.
02:08
There were debates up until draft day
02:10
was it going to be Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf.
02:12
It's an inexact science,
02:14
but it's just another piece to the puzzle
02:18
that it wasn't going to be Aaron Rodgers.
02:20
It was always J.J. McCarthy.
02:22
McCarthy was going to be the guy,
02:24
and they have full buy-in with him
02:25
from the top down.
02:30
Get ready.
02:31
2025 is going to be a wild ride.
02:34
I'm Tyler Fornes with AZ Sports.

Skull Vikings.
