| 0:26.4 | as always with Ben Gessling, Vikings Beat reporter for the Star Tribune, and you guys know what this is like if Ben's here you know what's |
| 0:34.6 | about to happen there are I have acquired a new crystal ball for a new coaching staff |
| 0:40.0 | I don't know if you're still working with the Zimmer version or if you have updated your |
| 0:43.6 | Crystal ball that we're about to look into Ben. |
| 0:46.4 | You know, I don't know that I got the memo, so we'll see if this one still works, if it |
| 0:50.9 | adapts from the Zimmer regime to the Kevin O'Connell regime but we'll give it a shot |
