Pro Bowl stud wideout of the Minnesota Vikings Adam Thielen is already universally known as a great football player. I guess we can add Golf to that list. He and many other current and retired athletes are competing this weekend at the annual American Century Classic in Lake Tahoe, California. Thielen had a great weekend finishing as the top NFL player, and overall tied for fourth place with Annika Sorenstam. Who knew this guy was good at golf? After doing a little digging, I guess he has a little history with the game of golf. https://twitter.com/mattschneidman/status/1546276445961461760?s=20&t=BAWmDEvge6MirNtx-gMeJQ Golf Isn’t That Unfamiliar…

On July 30th, in Los Angeles, California, the much anticipated bout between NFL running backs Adrian Peterson and Le’Veon Bell will kick off. The “Battle of the Running Backs” will be decided at Crypto.com Arena. The two former All-Pro’s will meet on the undercard of “Social Gloves 2”, a YouTube promoted event. Peterson and Bell are not the first NFL players to fight in an exhibition match. All-Pro running back Frank Gore fought NBA All-Star Deron Williams before making his pro boxing debut. This fight may be a publicity stunt, but its one people want to see. https://twitter.com/LeVeonBell/status/1543006698947809280?s=20&t=lfgVx9J_5c7vRc8MTuGuTg All-Pro Peterson…
Social media has taken on a huge presence across the world over the last 10 or so years. As if visibility of professional athletes wasn’t big enough, it has brought that to new levels. Some good, and some bad (cough, AB, cough). One of my favorite series of videos on social media was created by former Vikings Defensive End Brian Robison. For those that have watched it, 96 Questions was great fun and showed sides of players you wouldn’t normally see. After a long hiatus, Robison and 96 Questions is BACK! https://twitter.com/Vikings/status/1538959874171629568?s=20&t=dvHmCTgXjJWNezCusoL5gQ Brian Robison the Player Brian Robison…
When Kirk Cousins is talked about, clutch factor and win/loss record are the number one things used to discredit him. His win/loss record for his career is 59-59-2, which on the surface does not look good. Kirk’s career numbers tell a much different story, one that proves he is very underrated . People forget that the QB does not play both sides of the ball. Very few quarterbacks today can will a team to a win regardless of the defensive performance. https://twitter.com/PFF/status/1334494102675656705?s=20&t=fU0N996UlQ1lxMAo_kg23A Captain Kirk “Clutch” Cousins The average NFL fan would laugh at the thought of putting the word clutch…
For football fan’s of the last 25 years, I’m sure they remember the Vikings wide receiver trio coined “Three Deep”. For those who haven’t, that late 90’s early 00’s group consisted of Randy Moss, Cris Carter, and Jake Reed. Well, now its 2022, and the Vikings once again have an iteration of “Three Deep”. Led by all-world receiver Justin Jefferson, redzone monster Adam Thielen, and third year surprise KJ Osborn. Justin Jefferson Is “That Dude” Justin Jefferson’s route running, hands, ability to create separation, and YAC ability has turned him into one of the elite WRs in the game. Per…
