Vikings News & Random Thoughts
Still plenty of hate for Fragile McPonder. I have to admit, the results have been less than stellar, but I have not given up on JJ. His stats are not good, but neither were Sam Darnolds prior to a decent 2022 outing and then 1 solid season here before winning it all with Seattle(Thanks to a great running game and the best defense around). I expect the team to remain patient as he learns how to play QB as a grown up. He has played in 10 games. I really would hate for this team to give up on him and then watch him win 3 Super Bowls with the Chargers.
This season should still be fun. Murray will obviously be the starter, and his contract for the Vikings is the ANTI-KIRKO contract where the team gets a huge discount thanks to AZ paying the QB to leave. The QB room is much stronger than last season, and a healthy Wentz is going to help. JJ could be QB #3 this season.
With the history of QBs around here, I expect to see all three QBs play this season. At the very least, we will at least be treated to more JJ in the preseason, since Murry will be the one they want starting in September and they will protect him to the detriment of the new guy learning the offense. I would prefer all three QBs play in all three preseason games to get some needed experience and maybe have a fast start in September. Good thing I am not the coach.
Starting O Line looks to be set, so the question is how many games will they actually play as a unit before they start dropping like flies again? The team has plenty of roster needs, and I have no idea what the draft will bring. I am just very grateful that Kwesi is no longer here to ruin things.
You may now enjoy throwing shade at each other.

Sorry guys, tomorrow’s thread is scheduled to post at the normal time. I’ll even be around a bit, kiddo is home with chicken pox. Good, get them out of the way. He didn’t get them very bad, he feels fine. Just a couple days with some zits.
Congrats????
B1G wins another Naddy, this time BB.
Michigan over UCon 69-63.
And a Bonus even the Twinkies even won.
I Love Baseball! But the Twins are awful and will continue to be awful for the foreseeable future….
The last minute of a basketball game takes about as long as the previous 10 minutes
Hmmm…
He also sucked for the Vikings last year, FTMP.
He sucked initially but then ‘he got better’.
Not all better of course just better than he was.
A guy walked into a bar and yelled
“All democrats are assholes.”
A man sitting at the end of the bar yelled back, “I resent that remark.”
The guy asked him, “Are you a democrat?”
He answered back, “No, I’m an asshole.”
These people are seriously dangerous…
Anything to stop the Orange Nazi is ok.
These people are idiots. How could anyone take someone like this seriously who is so inarticulate and makes so little sense.
Here’s a little clue that every parent in America knows – little boys are very different from little girls!
‘little boys are very different from little girls!’
That won’t be the case if the woke/libs/Dims/groomers get ahold of them.
I honestly think Rory could pull off a repeat performance this year at the Masters. He’s my pick. I think Matt Fitzpatrick, Collin Morikawa, Si Woo Kim, and Tommy Fleetwood will likely contend too.
Scottie Scheffler? Yeah… he’ll be in the mix for sure.
Morikawa is hurt.
He won’t contend.
He may not even play.
Didn’t know that. Hurt his back?
Yep. Two weeks ago.
The first tee. He hurt it on a practice swing.
I remember that. Wow, still not right.
This is pretty terrible…
Yup. Time to move.
So, here is my question for the Group and NLNV…
Friday afternoon NLNV says we had rescued the weapons officer.
He assured us this info came from high up in CENTCOM.
Late Saturday night the weapons officer was actually rescued.
Sunday morning we find out that the CIA had been engaged in a disinformation campaign of trying to spread rumors that we had already rescued the officer so Iran wouldn’t keep searching so hard.
Was NLNV in on the disinformation or was he duped by the disinformation?? It really is hard to say.
Laughing… no, I received a text that said “missing crewmember located, acquired, and successfully evac’d”. I understood that to mean the second crewmember because I knew that the first crewmember (pilot) had been recovered already. Unfortunately the person advising me was actually referring to the pilot, not the whizzo. Fog of war moment for me.
His text was an exclamation of joy, that I took as an update to the ongoing mission.
Ohhh! That makes sense.
Yeah… then of course I kept getting texts from a dozen or so sources and realized immediately what had occurred. I had to make a conscious decision to stay “off the air” at that point because of the first rule of holes, and potential operational compromise.
What a great job by our military folks…..
I’ll say this… from the time we learned of the WSO’s position and confirmed (authenticated) it, a little over 12 hours passed between the time Hegseth received the information, and the operation was executed. He got the Presidents authorization to go get the crewmember, and somehow created an amazingly complex plan including incorporating the CIA to create a ruse, scheduled bombers to blow up a command center in Tehran, and bring in all sorts of aircraft buzzing in and out of the area without crashing into each other, and destroy enemy forces on the ground constantly to protect the WSO. This operation wasn’t planed and practiced for weeks. It was put together and executed flawlessly in hours. Unbelievable.
Great job by the military. and great probably isn’t adequate.
But you make a point i hadn’t thought about. Does the SECDEF, or for that matter any military commander, have to get the President’s approval to rescue a downed airman?
An operation of this level of danger and complexity definitely requires POTUS in the mix. If it goes sideways, it’s a huge political disaster. Epic Fury itself is a huge political catastrophe waiting to happen. The CINC is calling the shots here, for sure.
We’ve had these kinds of Operations go South in the past. Remember the Desert One disaster (Operation Eagle Claw) in 1980? Maybe the singular reason Presidents since then have decided not to take any such action “on their watch”. Only Trump.
Ever see the movie Bridges at Toko-Ri?
Great older movie with William Holden.
Yep, and I used a line from that movie in Afghanistan to a young officer…
“All through history, men have had to fight the wrong war in the wrong place, but that’s the one they’re stuck with.”
How much cap space do the Vikings have left?
This much…
I think he’s scheduled to make around $20 million this season and has two years remaining on his contract. He wants more than that. He is a force for sure, but is he worth that level of fiscal investment right now to the Vikings?
That and what would be the draft capital required to acquire him, I’m not sure on either but he is a beast.
6-4, 340 lb so in other words a run stuffer.
Flo has moved away from those since they traded Harrison Phillips so not sure they are willing to spend that much on another one.
You don’t get nine sacks in a season from a run stuffer
If he’s a really good run stuffer you do.
$5 million.
trade greenard for him
I’d be ok with that
did you see my limp bizkit post last week? i literally did it for you
Trader Rick returns!
Who grades the picks, and what criteria do they use?
They have 5 ‘ranking options’ for players. ProFootballNetwork, PFF, ESPN, Athletic and Consensus. I believe the draft score is how well the draft picks stack up vs the ranking option selected.
I don’t get a ‘draft score’ as I don’t register when I use the site.
I like this one because it doesn’t require registering at this time…
https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft
It also gives a lot of information on the draftees so it helps to learn a lot about the players, Height, weight, RAS, school and some history on injuries and previous positions played, that type of thing.
It is the Pro Football Sports Network draft order, so it is all according to that.
https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft
I can also select the other ranking options, as SoCal says below. Maybe I will try one with the PFF ranking.
The Atlantic and Consensus make the most sense to me, I can work with PFSN rankings though. PFF and ESPN are kind of ‘out there’ IMHO.
I will try those two moving forward. I have no idea, so this is additional data I did not have before!
I rotate them frequently trying different situations.
None of them are static, they change almost daily, slowly but they seem to reflect current shifting opinions about players.
I noticed safeties dry up pretty fast if I don’t take one with the first pick or second pick.
Jeremiah Love keeps moving all over the place, too. Now he’s gone to the Jets at 16 a few times.
Safety won’t be a huge priority, your favorite nursing home resident is coming back!
Oh dear…
That is more proof than anything that this year is a punt. Bringing Harry back is 100 percent ticket marketing for the Harry cult.
On the other hand, if you have a chance to bring back the 31st ranked safety, you pretty much have to do it…
There are different runs in different drafts.
Sometimes Safety, sometimes DT, sometimes OL or TE, even RB.
I have tried to find gems later in the draft to grab. Since we don’t need starters this year giving them a year or to develop is an option.
Thanks. I was just wondering. I don’t watch a lot of college football honestly. As the draft approaches, I’ll look at some games to see what I think of various prospects. Very unscientific method. I saw more in Bo Nix than any of the other prospects in his draft as far as being pro ready. He would have been the guy I would have gone with. Just my opinion at the time.
Yeah, I watch zero college ball.
I just like seeing if I can get value at positions of needs and in trades. It’s a relaxing time killer.
Kind of like my golf game. I go to the course, bang the ball around, and have fun. I don’t work on my game. I don’t practice. I just enjoy the day.
I hope to start golfing again when I retire. For now, running is my exercise of choice because I can bang it out with minimal equipment and time.
Got it… golf is a relaxing social event for me. Not necessarily exercise. I just like playing the game, meeting new people, and laughing. I meet new folks, and suddenly the jokes I’ve told for decades are all brand new.
Of course, like anyone who plays golf, smoking a drive or hitting an iron pure is a great feeling, and very satisfying. I strike the ball decently enough, often enough though that the game is fun. I don’t gank a lot of shots so I keep it in play, and enjoy the day.
Good times.
If I come down to Florida, I’ll caddy a round for you.
Cool!
Brzezinsky has demonstrated his genius at massaging $$ to stay within the cap.
What does he know about judging talent that would make him a good GM?
We just jettisoned a “numbers guy” because he didn’t know squat about judging talent.
‘What does he know about judging talent’
He has people for that, like KOC and Flo. If he doesn’t listen to them, like KAM evidently didn’t listen to KOC on McFragile, then he isn’t the man for the job.
It’s going to be a slow and weird season.
Probably a rinse and repeat of 2025.
At this point anything is possible.
I think he’d just lean on the scouting department and coaching staff, but ultimately there has to be one guy that has final say. I don’t think it’s been confirmed who that person is at this point but it was KAM before.
So one “trait” a great GM has is a that “horse trading” sense. The ability to get something for nothing… that ability to get the better of a trading partner. The Eagles Howie Roseman leaps to mind. I would also say, a GM who “depends” on others to choose talent is a bad plan poorly executed. No, the GM must know football. This is a multi billion dollar professional football team, that wants to vie for Championships. The lead dog better know pro football, and football players. He better have a football background, knowledge, and instincts. He better be immersed in the talent search completely. He better have a plan, and objectives every year to build a better team.
Should I post on the weekend thread or should I wait for a new one, that is the question.
The Answer as always is ‘Yes’.
This is what I say here, pretty much every day…
And I’ll add this. Folks knocked Murray as a guy who would rather play video games than study film. There was that famous story that came out where a mandatory film study clause was actually included in his second contract. IF he doesn’t invest in film study, and I mean immerse himself in breaking down film on defenses, he won’t take the offense to that next level.
Trivia question. Try and answer without cheating…
Name the only player to compete in both the Super Bowl and the World Series.
Bo Jackson??
Although I don’t think he reached the title game/series despite how good a player he was in both sports.
Just my first thought/guess.
Dion Saunders is my 2nd guess.
You’re a better second guesser.
When we play trivia I wait until I work through the question as best I can.
That might take several minutes and frustrates the family as they want an answer right away.
I can often get the right answer if I give myself enough time to shift thru all of the BS that is sitting in my head and rotting my brain.
#grin
Who’s the only player with both a College Football National Championship as well as a World Series ring?
No idea…
Darin Erstad….
1994 National Champion with Nebraska (as a kicker/punter)
2002 World Series Champion with the Angels….
Well, at least it’s a guy I never heard of… grin.
I have to say, when people asked me what I thought about Pete Hegseth being nominated by President Trump for the SECDEF position, I wasn’t thrilled. My years of experience in the Pentagon and “inside the beltway” made me think he was likely in way over his head. I was wrong though. Thankfully. Hegseth is doing everything right. The Dept of War has returned to its former glory as it were. Strong, competent, and most of all, lethal.
Hegseth is highly educated and has written books about the military which is what drew Trumps attending to him. That plus being on Fox detailing his thoughts on the subject.
Yep. I thought he was a TV personality, seeking attention as a former military member. I knew he served in the Iraq war, but that was about it. I am 100% behind his initiatives to rid the military of all the woke crap for sure. I left the DoD due to Biden and the leftists. It was a genuine mess.
As El Rushbo said the job of the military is to kill people and break things. I spent 35 years working for USAF and Army after retirement last time we went in did the job and left was first gulf war and folks bitched we should have stayed and did more. I wish now first time in 20 years I was back in at this time.
I know that feeling.
I retired a couple of years before 9-11. I called about getting back in after the towers were hit. I was told that they didn’t need any additional service members at that time but if that changed ‘the call’ would go out.
Yeah…
Most ‘Religious’ predictions don’t come true.
And make no mistake ‘Global Warming is a religion to the Woke/Left/Progressives.
Think of all the trillions of dollars around the world that has been stolen from innocent tax payers in support of this though. All the laws passed. All the climate hysteria taught to children. The left is ghastly.
24 years ago today…
RIP
i still remember to this day….i was 16 when he died and i was working at my local meat market and one of the meat guys was a DIE HARD alice in chains fan, and i had never heard of them since i was a good young christian boy…
so after we closed, he played the entire Dirt album while we cleaned up the store/meat case etc…and i was like hey i kinda like these guys.
but he was DEVASTATED
I heard it postulated that no one we draft this year would be a ‘day one starter’.
‘You could argue the Vikings are in a rare position where their most significant needs are either for rotational depth or future-proofing, rather than filling a literal empty spot on the depth chart’
Speculation was maybe a WR3, if that is considered a starter, or a stud LB or possibly a Safety, if the Hitman doesn’t come back, could crack the starting lineup.
So BPA might be the way to go, some depth is thinner than others but we need some athletic youth across the board.

First Good Draft I have ever managed using ESPNs draft rankings on https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft.
18 Dillon Thieneman, S Oregon
49 Lee Hunter, DT Texas Tech
82 Mike Washington Jr., RB Arkansas
97 Bryce Lance, WR North Dakota State
163 Sam Roush, TE Stanford
196 Jack Kelly, LB BYU
234 Andre Fuller, CB Toledo
235 Mason Reiger, EDGE Wisconsin
244 Travis Burke, OT Memphis
All athletic and highly ranked vis a vis where they were drafted.
Well ‘All athletic’ but Lee Hunter, his RAS is only 3.72. But he was ranked #30 and I got him at #49. I know Flo prefers disruptors who can attack over run stuffers. Hunter is a known run stuffer but he also has 6.5 sacks and 29.5 tackles for loss in the last three years, so he can also disrupt.
Gracen Halton, DT, Oklahoma, who has met with the Vikings and is more of a ‘disruptor’ was drafted at #70 so I would have had to reach for him or hope he lasted until #82, I think Hunter was the better/safer option here.
Popeyes chicken for lunch. Did you know they took their name from “Popeye” Doyle of French Connection fame?
We did Blimpie last night. Going out to dinner tonight, Red Robin or Cracker Barrel.
The Teacher will make brunch when she gets up, she prepped everything last night.
She/We worked on planters and yard work yesterday and I am sore from hauling huge bags of potting soil.
Man, I can relate a little SoCal. My wife and I did a little gardening/landscaping yesterday too. Not a lot, but enough that I’m feeling it a bit today.
Back in SoCal I would have to pull weeds every spring. I soon learned that I had to do it in sections or I would ache whenever I tried to move for a week or more. It would take me a week or so to get it all done but at least I was only sore enough to remind me how much worse it could have been.
I also put a full day in at my Dad’s place, prepping his garden.
F*****g wind blew all day but I managed to get his raised beds out to the garden plot – he’ll be 71 in May and is 6’6” with flat feet from years wearing Tony Llamas and bad knees, getting down in the dirt is hard on him.
A few years ago I built these raised beds using railroad ties and 2×6’s. I hinged the legs so they can be folded up for winter storage but the mf’ers are HEAVY – gotta haul them out with the Deere and LoadHog trailer. Got them moved into place next to the garden – I’ll go back in a few weeks to re-till and put the beds up.
Between hauling all that around and swapping out the ballast box and tillers on the Deere I am feeling it today.
Good kind of ache though – feeling of accomplishment and helped out the old man a bit.
‘Good kind of ache though – feeling of accomplishment and helped out the old man a bit’
Completely agree. Aching from accomplishing something or a good workout is not nearly as painful.
Merry Easter Ya’ll.
I keep seeing pundits saying that Murray is not automatically QB1 and he will compete with McCarthy for the job in training camp. I think KOC would be wise to sort of play his hand that way, regardless of the fact that McCarthy is nowhere near the NFL QB Murray is. For that matter McCarthy is nowhere near the NFL QB that Wentz is either.
I am not a huge Murray fan BTW, I still think he’s more a scrambling runner than a great QB. That said, he can make throws pretty consistently and get the job done.
Pretty sure Murray will be the starter week 1.
I am still rooting for JJ to figure things out. 10 games is not a career. He is still on a cheap rookie deal, and he does have talent. If the mental game and mechanics improve, he could still be a long term answer. If not, we get to either watch the team overpay Murray, or draft another guy and hope.
Either way, Murray/Wentz/JJ is an upgrade over JJ/Wentz/Brosmer.
Murray is a bargain with talent. If he can fit into what coach does, or if coach changes his offense, it could be fun to watch.
Pretty much how I see it. I sincerely doubt McCarthy will ever be a great NFL QB. Last year I was surprised how amateurish he looked. I also think Wentz would have started all the games left in the season, if he hadn’t gotten injured.
I guess it depends on your definition of ‘compete’.
I would call Murray the ‘Leader in the Clubhouse’ with a large lead. Who knows what might happen to change that, injury??
Just some random thoughts.
Murray has a lot of unpolished talent – can make lots of highlight type plays. He is a superior athlete.
Wentz had other backup job offers. Don’t believe he came here to be third string.
JJ may or may not make it, but he is in a far, far worse position than he was last year at this time.
I tried to post an image in response to Manly and I don’t know what happened and I can’t delete it. Stupid tablet.
I used my Admin powers and removed the goofy image.
Thank you, it was rather unsightly.
Mistake posting it is something I would want gone if I had done it.
Thanks Sury!
Amen, and Happy Easter to all my Christian Skoloholics. Also Happy Passover to those if the Jewish faith.

2nd US Crewmember rescued in Iran.

Michigan up by 20+ with 3m left.
Looks like it going to be UConn-Mich in the NCAA BB Finals.
Diggs coming back to be our WR3??
Unlikely I would think, good character is important to the Wilfs.
I’d think if anything, the team would be looking for someone that Kyler Murray is familiar with.
Interesting take. I don’t follow college football much, and I haven’t watched Mendoza play, so I don’t have a personal take on him.
He is not a ‘generational talent’ more like the best QB in the draft this year.
Well, if he has Cousins as a mentor and example, he could end up good. Depends on his accuracy and his brain.
This is how our Government should approach immigration.
“The privileges of American citizenship are so great and its duties so grave that we may well insist upon a good knowledge of every person applying for citizenship and a good knowledge by him of our institutions. We should not cease to be hospitable to immigration, but we should cease to be careless as to the character of it. There are men of all races, even the best, whose coming is necessarily a burden upon our public revenues or a threat to social order. These should be identified and excluded.”
– Benjamin Harrison, 1889
Benji had it right.
And no marrying your brother!
I personally never considered marrying my brother (or my sister for that matter).
Me either.
But if I lived in a shit hole of a country and doing so would get me US Citizenship then I might have to consider it.
With the woke nonsense, and this, I wonder if folks will just stop watching the NFL in droves?
Its a good thing that the USA gave that ‘anti-trust exemption’ so they could milk us like a herd of cows.
Yeah… I have a feeling I’m going to be playing a lot more golf on Sundays.
Played 9 holes this morning to start the day. There were no tee times available at the course, but the starter let me and another guy go off the back, alone. I’d played a round with him a while back, and enjoyed it. Retired Marine Master Gunney. No nonsense golfer… grip it and rip it kind of a guy. He hit three straight balls into the lake on the first hole, trying to drive the green. It’s a tricky hole, where as the crow flies, it’s about 220 yards to the green, or you can follow the fairway around the lake and it plays around 285 yards. Bunkers and trees, and more water down the left side with the green surrounded by water. Going at it is stupid. The Air Force guy hit his seven wood down the fairway, hit a nice 3/4 nine iron onto the green, and two putted for par. The Marine had a “bogey” grin. I actually parred the first 5 holes, and was cruising pretty good, but pulled my drive a shade on the 6th hole and it bounced into the water. Hit my third shot over the green into trouble, took a drop, pitched my 5th shot onto the green, and made a nice little 7. Bother. Made two bogey’s and a par coming in to finish with a 41. The Gunney wanted breakfast, so we had some eggs and pancakes at the clubhouse. He told me his wife of 44 years had recently passed. He said he’s been through all sorts of pain in his life, but at 75 years old, this has hurt him the most. His dog is 15 years old, and he’s not long for this world either. His son lives in Texas, and wants him to come there, but he doesn’t want to do that. I told him to let it all percolate a little and put it in God’s hands. He said that was the plan. Then he looked at me and said “I really hope we can play a round together again”. I gave him my phone number and said “call me any time Gunney, I’m around”.
Life gets hard sometimes.
No spring here yet. Amazing to think it was 75 degrees a week ago.
Yuk…..
We had a couple of days of Mid 80s here followed by a week of rain and temps down to freezing.
Spring gets down crazy like that.
Pretty cool Jackson, Minnesota…
https://www.instagram.com/p/DWb35-0kYRF/
JacksonVike might know about this.
I’d assume so – pretty sure that’s who he works for, I think.
My dad chewed dirt for them in sales for 34 years….
Wow.
I would assume that they would be the largest employer. I lived in the cities so I don’t know much about the town.
Regarding the QB comments, I think the Murray signing was rather bad for JJ’s tenure as a Viking QB. More than likely, and barring major injury, Murray will shine, get resigned and JJ will be traded.
Possible.
If that does happen, Murray will probably flounder in 2027 or get injured and JJ will win multiple championships elsewhere.
The Vikings way.
I do expect Murray to start this season, and have more success than he had in AZ.
I am not really looking forward to the team deciding to hand him a large % of the salary cap over a long-term guaranteed deal like they have done in the past. That truly prevents the team from improving unless they suddenly suck less at the draft.
If they somehow get to the NFCCG this season with him, I am sure that he will get a long term deal to stay.
Also possible.
It’s a stop gap move for another year.
Cheap veteran who likely won’t help JJ one bit.
Rinse, repeat for 2027 unless JJ is traded.
Trade for Burrow!
‘Trade for Burrow!’
Not probable.
I can dream….
Absolutely.
Just remember to expect the worst while you hope for the best.
This is the way to survive being a Vikings fan
I while I agree that the Vikings need more help in the defensive backfield I don’t think a small-ish CB (5′ 11″-190 lbs) who missed all of 2025 due to and ACL tear is the answer.
Plus CB is so deep this draft that we don’t need to get one in the 1st round especially after just adding depth with Pierre.

Merry weekend everyone.
And of course FTP.
i hate when there’s no football, plus the Timberwolves are meh, twins are ass, At least the Wild are ok, but will end up losing in the first round again for like the 10th time in a row
A couple of my great nieces were telling me that they went to their first NHL game. They saw MN beat Vancouver. They were way up in the nose bleed seats but they had a great time. They were also very happy that when they went to the bathroom, the line for the men was way out of the door and there was only a couple of ladies ahead of them for the line to the women’s bathroom. I guess it is the little things in life that can be such bright spots.
Games are great live, and yea, hockey is probably 95% dudes in attendance so the lines make sense
Could watch some UFL if you’re jonesing for foosballs.
not the level of play the NFL offers but it’s foosballs……
Where would you even find their games?
FOX/ESPN I I think….. watched last night on FOX.
I will get things started….
2st
Looks like you have a fan lurking Surly, giving you morning street cred.
Kirk still sucks
-surly
Looking forward to watching yet another fan base become dismayed once they realize the team will never be more than slightly above average with him at QB.
At least Raiders fans have Mendoza to look forward to. While we have JJ, and ATL has Penix(two QBs that are injured way too often)
‘slightly above average with him at QB’
That would be a massive step up for the LV Gay-ders.
It is, but is the goal mediocrity?
If he gets them to mediocrity, is a good mentor for Mendoza, it will be a very good move for the Raiders.
Agreed.
They have been down so long that it will look like up to them.
It actually will be up for them. They won 3 games last year, and 21 total wins in their last 4 years. 21-47 over four seasons is really bad.
In 2021, Cousins played in 16 games for the Vikings. He threw for 4,221 yards (263.8 yards per game) with 33 TD’s and only 7 interceptions for a 103.1 passer rating. That level of QB play over one game is considered exceptional. Over a season? Yeah, pretty damn incredible.
The Vikings went 8-8 in those games, and 8-9 for the season.
Great QB play can only do so much.
Yeah, Penix had an extensive injury history in college, season ending shoulder injuries, multiple acl tears. JJ never had any issues with injury at Michigan but can’t stay on the field in the nfl.
