0:10.2

And it was day 11 of Minnesota Vikings training camp.

0:15.6

We actually were going through it today trying to remember and a wait a minute.

0:18.9

How many days is that's we're at that point

0:21.1

we're like wait the night practice that counts as a day but it's actually a night but 11th practice

0:27.4
