Welcome to the Viking Age Podcast, the official podcast of the VikingAge.com. My name is Chris Chad. I write for the Viking Age as well as zone coverage.com. My co-host is Adam Patrick. We do this every week here on the Viking Age YouTube channel. And we are also in podcast form on Apple and Spotify the very next day. But however you consume us, make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe so you never miss a new episode and we can spread the word to the Masses on today's show, Kevin O'Connell still wants you to think he has nothing to do with drafting JJ McCarthy. Uh the Welves make another empty threat. Is Chuck Demings, the next a Caleb Evan? And there's a quarterback competition. So all that stuff is great.
Adam, great to see you. Great to have you back after a week off. I had a week off as well, uh, going to SummerSlam. At US Bank Stadium, we were just talking about it as I uh core uh stuck my my coordination's letting me down here, but I got my Brock Lesnar koozy. Yes. Uh going final
We saw the final final match of the former Vikings pro wrestling career.
Exactly. I I saw I may have mentioned this earlier, but I'm going to mention it again anyway. I saw one of Brock's first matches. It was one of the first shows that I was at. Dark Dark Match, right? Yeah, Dark Match before Monday Night Raw. His tag team partner was Shelton Benjamin, and his manager was Jesse Ventura. So yes. And Brock Lesnar, I a lot of wrestling fans know that Brock nearly broke his neck. attempting a suit shooting star press at WrestleMania. But uh that night Brock actually hit it and it was the coolest shit ever and it pretty much like just sparked my wrestling fandom like this rocks. So
All right. Now that now that we've uh gotten everyone to click out click X 'cause we're talking about wrestling and startup.
Yes. But I don't know.
I No, I don't care. I'm not taking it out. No.
I don't want to talk about it.
Summer Slam was hold on, SummerSlam was in US Bank Stadium, so it is Vikings related. Yeah.
I mean that's that's why I brought it up. And I sat, I will say this, I sat in the Valhalla Club in US Bank Stadium. Okay. And I was just kind of like, oh, it's just a cool little thing. They had bars everywhere. There were no lines for beer, bathroom, merchandise, whatever you wanted. It was all right there.
Two former Vikings were the main events for both nights, Brock Klesner and Roman Reigns, who was with the Vikings for oh a week, I think, and until the Vikings were like, Uh, we think you have cancer, and he was like, Oh, okay. All right, let's go get that checked out. So they you know, Vikings saved his life, no big deal.
Yeah. And then he becomes a big thing. And now he's on top of the world. Yeah. And Justin Jeffers.
And Justin Jefferson was there too. So there are a lot of former Viking or current Vikings there.
Kyler Murray was there, I believe.
Somebody was saying.
Or were they just making a joke?
Was he one of the the Mini Housens?
Running around and uh help helping Danhausen get his human monies back. Cornerback competition. Let's start there because obviously that's what everybody wants to talk about. Kyler Murray seems to have an edge in the competition right now. He's decisive, he's taking shots downfield, he's using his legs to create, which is probably making Kevin O'Connell mad. Uh JJ McCarthy has a stronger grasp of the playbook, but has taken More short completions, and when he's gone deep, it hasn't gone well. Here is the number that is bothering me going into today.
