Of note: As the Vikings continue talks with GM frontrunner Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, one of the private planes owned by the Wilfs is headed to the Twin Cities this morning

This is making me...Kwesi

My guess is Kwesi knows his worth and is leveraging that. I mean, this is the only other guy they've brought in for a second GM interview.

But the Wilfs were already in Minneapolis yesterday. Maybe Kwesi's family?

Kwesi Adofo-Mensah had dinner last night with the Wilfs, Vikings COO Andrew Miller and EVP Rob Brzezinski. This is all still headed in the direction of him agreeing to become next Vikings GM. For those asking about the wait, it sounds like GM contract negotiations are a process.@"StickyBun" said:

If the Wilfs are in Minnesota, why isn't their plane already there?  What did they do, land in Minnesota and then send the plane off to get washed?

The #Vikings are now expected to work to hire #Browns executive Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as their next GM, sources say. He’s the final finalist and they have been interviewing him again.

My wife works with some excessively wealthy people.  There's no way the Wilfs only have one jet.  They'll have several. Probably varied sizes depending on the quantity of people that needs to be hauled.

They would have flown in on theirs and sent out another one of theirs to pick him up.

I can relate. I have an F-150 with a 36 gallon tank. I put premium in it.

How do I get on the list to have them pick me up for a game?

Damn its cold up there.  Not a great week to be talking contracts with people who will live in the area.  Players can come and go but executives I'd think are in MN 365.  Mensha doesn't look like he has any extra insulation on his bones.

With Ryan Poles to Chicago official, I'm told the Vikings job will go to Kwesi Adofo-Mensah.

Former Browns VP of Football Ops. Former 49ers analyst.

Very, very highly regarded football mind that leans more analytics than tape study.

Outside the box hire, but a good one

Cubs hired an Analytics guy...that worked well.

Who knows?  When she goes on their jets its interesting.  She shows up a 15-20 minutes early and on she goes.  We've got a small airport capable of landing executive jets close by. 

She says the pilot just sits around all day while she works with the owners and their horses, then they fly her home.  She also says the plane goes straight the F@ck (her words, and she doesn't cuss often) when it takes off. 

I've never went on one of these jets so I can't give an accurate account.

Tator tot hot dish has to be one of my favorite meals.  1# of burger, 1 can of cream of shroom, covered with as many tator tots as you can fit in the casserole bowl. 

When we moved down to TN the church we were attending had a function and asked everyone to bring a dish of food.  Us being MN kids thought that meant a hot dish.....Tator tot hot dish!!!
We show up and everyone looks at us like we have two heads.  Down here "bring a dish to pass" means someone brings meat, others bring veggies, starch, dessert etc etc.  We learned, just different cultures.

I've been on a private jet a handful of times. Here's what surprised me: you can drive right up to the plane. You unpack your stuff from the car right onto the plane. Nobody checks shit. Its all so casual, it was weird lol. I have another friend who was a corporate pilot for Sprint....he said there is a TON of downtime.

Funny that ever since the Antoine Winfield news, Viking fans are much more in tune with the comings and goings of private jets than fans of other teams. 

Again, happy with the FO direction. Now if the coach is a defensive guy like Ryans, then IMO the odds Cousins gets traded go from roughly 50% to maybe 65%.
