Minnesota Vikings Updates: Contract Talks, Rule Changes, and More with Dave—This is an episode of the 'Two Old Bloggers' with Dave Stefano on this Vikings 1st & SKOL production partnered with the Fans First Sports Network. In this solo episode, Dave dives into several hot topics surrounding the Minnesota Vikings and the broader NFL. Key discussion points include the contract extension talks for Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, who currently holds a 34-17 record yet hasn't been extended despite head coach Kevin O'Connell securing a $65 million deal. Dave also covers the upcoming joint practices with the New England Patriots ahead of the August 16th preseason game, spotlighting players like JJ McCarthy and Drake May. Additionally, Dave explores NFL rule changes, such as the controversial 'tush push' rule, and the approval for NFL players to compete in flag football at the 2028 Summer Olympics. The episode also highlights Antoine Winfield, who made Pro Football Focus's best team of the past 25 years. Dave sheds light on playoff re-seeding proposals and wraps up with community interactions and future plans for the podcast. Join Dave for an in-depth look at all things Vikings and the NFL!
