always continue to stand up here and thank our ownership group our coaching staff our players

our football operations staff and do an incredible job of you know handling this season the long

time away they spend from their families and just doing things to uphold the viking standard

great credit to them and ultimately it didn't end up where we want to be but that doesn't mean

that they didn't do everything they could for this organization.

That is now former Vikings general manager, Kwayze Adolfo Mensa, who was given the pink

slip today by the Minnesota Vikings. And I don't know about you, Aunt. I did not see that

coming. Even with the Sam Darnel decision, that's Aunt Herron. I'm Romney McLaugh, Cassie Carlson,

Perhaps it was a Paisley slip in Minnesota. Did they, Chris Tanna Hill. I like it.

No, Prince Instrumental? Well, I played. But I did not see this one coming. And a year ago, Crazy Adolfo Mentsa was like one of the darlings and one of the geniuses of NFL front offices. How difference a year can make when you make the decision that they make a quarterback and now they're watching the guy who is under center for them last year, go to the Super Bowl and Sam Donald for the Seattle

Seahaw.

Certainly what it feels like to me.

I mean, a year ago this time, coming off the Sam Donald's season, and even during the

preseason, heading into the 2025 NFL season, the NFC North viewed as the top division, certainly one of the top,

if not the top divisions in football. And the roster that the Vikings have had in place here

was hailed as one of the more talented rosters in football. And so you go from that where

Kevin O'Connell, regardless of QB, just winning over and over again.

Now, yes, offensive line depleted at this point, so that became an issue for him.

But as far as running back, receiver, pass rusher, there's talent all over the Vikings roster that has made plays, made legitimate plays, struggled at QB.

And so even despite having a porous offensive line these seasons, Sam Darner was there for him as a

starter, is still, as a team, won a bunch of games.
