Everson Griffen Says He’s Looking For An NFL Comeback
With the official start of training camp for the Minnesota Vikings coming this week, we’re sure to hear a lot about guys being in the best shape of their careers, taking it one day at a time, and (insert your favorite offseason cliché right here). However, we may now be hearing it from someone that […]
Minnesota Vikings News and Links: It’s About To Go Down!
Rookies are reporting to training camp today. I wonder if any true doofi will be camped out to see them walk in the building. All the nonsense is about to be ramped up again after the summer hiatus. The first training camp practice is 6 days away. Rookie Arrival: First-year players report to the TCO […]
Vikings Middle of the Pack in Under-25 Talent
Over the past few years, the Minnesota Vikings’ draft classes have not been highly lauded. That’s largely what led to the firing of GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in late January and the odd situation that the Vikings went through during the 2026 offseason prior to Nolan Teasley’s hiring last month. Given that, you would think that […]

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: What Will You Be Watching For In Training Camp?
It has been a long wait but the rookies report in 3 days! Obviously, the QB “competition” is going to get a lot of attention but I am interested in seeing how the defensive line performs. There are a lot of new faces and lots of youts. The other group I will watch closer is […]
SBN Prediction: J.J. McCarthy….traded?
We’re truly in a brutal time in the NFL news cycle. Training camps haven’t opened up yet and free agency lists are more or less barren — unless you’re looking at the media landscape and/or previously worked for ESPN. This time of year lends itself to preseason predictions. Sometimes they’re bold, sometimes they’re beautiful, but […]

Not a Drill: Training Camp is Here!
We’re almost there, folks: training camp. While the NFL offseason is tediously long, I’m usually fine and adequately preoccupied with baseball and the usual summer activities that fill evenings and weekends. The World Cup was also a welcome distraction this year. Nonetheless, when the MLB All-Star Break hits, the itch becomes impossible to scratch, and […]
Vikings Narratives: What’s True and What’s Overblown Before Training Camp
As the 2026 season approaches, The Real Forno Show hosted a deep-dive episode breaking down the hottest narratives surrounding the Minnesota Vikings. From the quarterback competition between J.J.

Talking Vikings and Bears with Bears Talk Underground
One week from Tuesday, every single member of our Minnesota Vikings will have, officially, reported to Eagan for the start of this year’s training camp.

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: The Horse Has Left the Barn… Just to Get Beaten Again
All it takes is for some dweeb (like myself but I am more of a doofus) to dream up some trade idea for it to get picked up and regurgitated by many different sites that are just looking for something to post so they can get views. The latest has been the Vikings trading Justin […]

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Will You Draft A Vikings Player In Fantasy?
I was thinking about those of you who play fantasy football and what your thoughts are on Vikings players. Is there any player you would draft? What do you think the chances of that player having a solid season? Obviously, Justin Jefferson is at the top of the list but he is at the mercy […]

KOC’s Coach-Speak, the QB Battle, and Vikings Legends Dominate
On this episode of Two Old Bloggers, Dave Stefano flies solo while co-host Darren Campbell is busy losing a softball game. Stefano wastes no time dissecting Kevin O’Connell’s appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, where KOC deployed six certified clichés — including the gem, “I’m not familiar with a closed competition” — while revealing exactly […]
Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Two Weeks To Go!
We are getting close! The rookies report in a little over two weeks. I still am hoping the team signs Derek Barnett. He was solid last year as a rotational EDGE rusher, wont cost too much, and seems like a perfect fit. He has been praised as a really good teammate as well. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-waive-former-first-round-pick-derek-barnett/548007/The Eagles […]
