"Easy decision for the Vikings." @TheRealForno explains why giving Jordan Addison the 5th year option was a no-brainer

'You have to have someone take the pressure off' Why giving Jordan Addison an extension should be a priority

"I want nothing to do with him at 18th overall." Why I'm not a fan of the Minnesota Vikings being sent Dillon Thieneman in mock drafts

"You don't trade a guy like that" I highlighted the importance of edge rusher Jonathan Greenard and why he needs to be kept around on the latest episode of The Real Forno Show

"I'll take him in every mock draft" Why Eric Gentry is such a fascinating player to add to a Brian Flores defense

They also faced 8.1 more carries per game in 2025 than they did in 2024

Despite a smaller sample size, I highlighted Kyler Murray's success throwing over the middle and compared it to Sam Darnold's

"Both parties are culpable." Kevin O'Connell's quote about organizations failing young quarterbacks has a second half, and that's important regarding the Kyler Murray signing

"The J.J. McCarthy era is over in Minnesota" Kyler Murray's signing signaled the end of McCarthy with the Vikings

7 years ago, I was on my deathbed. That prompted me to pursue a career in media. Now, I cover my favorite two football teams and the NFL Draft for a living. Don’t wait like I did to follow your dreams, because they can come true

'They're going to try and get it through stealing gaps rather than true edge setting' The Vikings' approach on run defense requires certain players on the edge. @acosta32jp.bsky.social joined Thursday's The Real Forno Show for a spirited discussion on run defense

Did a mock draft for The Real Forno Show that will drop on Monday night on the Vikings 1st & SKOL YouTube channel. How’d I do?

I just submitted my ballot in @voiceswrestling.bsky.social's Match of the Year media poll. It wasn't a great year for pro wrestling, but there were still some incredible matches

It's also odd that there has been no credit given for coming up big in the clutch. His fourth quarter against the Bears and excellent throw to Jalen Nailor, something that only two other quarterbacks have done in a similar situation in the last 15 years. KOC trusts him completely

Process wise, McCarthy has shown a lot of improvement, especially when using touch on the ball. He couldn't do it in training camp, and thrived on Sunday using touch!

My ballot for the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame

Carson Wentz using a pump fake to create a slightly larger window for the dig route is good stuff

Dallas Turner had a great game on Sunday in all facets. He's doing everything well, and his instincts are improving each week

🚨🚨NEW SHOW🚨🚨 @lukebraunnfl.bsky.social of @lockedonvikings.bsky.social and I are starting a new show on @Vikings1stSKOL called X's and SKOLs, where we break down the Minnesota Vikings all-22. Meat and Potatoes walked so X's and SKOLs could run at 4:05 CT every Wednesday. Couldn't be more excited

It’s a bad day to be a Busch Light. Happy 4th of July!

Spending the weekend at the lake and I made some friends

Catching a baseball game with the wife today at the nicest ballpark in Minnesota

Built a horizontal board for the Vikings based on where I would take prospects in the NFL Draft

The ball tracking and body control from Luther Burden III is *chefs kiss*

Luther Burden III is a special mover in space

Watching Luther Burden III today and I'm very impressed with his awareness in space. Sees the overhang drop down and uses tempo to get behind him before turning upfield for a big gain

The footwork and vision from Jordan Mason are outstanding

The Vikings haven't had this in a while

I love how Jordan Mason maneuvers when he gets stopped initially. -Keeps the pad level low -Doesn't stop moving his legs -Stays patient for a seam to open up
