Great ESPN article on the Wilfs - StickierBuns - 06-25-2025

Zygi and Mark have the guys in KOC and KAM that they've always wanted for the franchise. If the Vikings can hit on JJ McCarthy, we are going to see a long and tortured road come to its final mile with a Superbowl trophy at long last somewhere in the near future. The ownership is outstanding.

I'd forgotten that about Spielman. This is the kind of thing I was talking about in the culture thread. What did it cost the Wilfs to do that? Very little, but the return is massive.

Very good article. We are fortunate to have the Wilfs.

Excellent leadership team. The Spielman game ball thing speaks volumes about the Wilfs. Great article.

I had forgotten how the Texas Used Car Salesman McCheapass McCombs had gutted the franchise and facilities.

The Wilfs spent nearly $3M in signing bonuses for UDFA's after the 2025 draft, the most in the NFL. IMO, that's putting your money where your mouth is.

McCombs hawking 30 year old cases of Aqua Velva is burned in my memory.
The Wilfs have been stellar owners. They, and we, will eventually be rewarded.

I sure hope their good intent as owners gets rewarded - in my lifetime.
