It’s unclear how interested Kevin O’Connell is in developing JJ McCarthy, but there is no question he was behind McCarthy’s selection. Sean McVay knew that before the card was submitted, and got it reaffirmed when he called KOC in an attempt to trade up (Rams wanted Bowers).

#Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell on if JJ McCarthy will return on the field when he returns: “I don’t think it’s one of those things where it’s the day he’s healthy, the night before the game just throw him out there and say ‘hey go figure it out…’ That also doesn't require an answer on that question today.”

Mike Florio reported on a recent episode of ProFootballTalk Live that KOC was "overruled" during the Vikings' 2025 offseason QB search -- that he wanted Darnold, Jones and Rodgers but didn't have a choice but to role with JJ McCarthy and Sam Howell. "As I understand it, O'Connell got overruled. He wanted to have Darnold or Jones or Aaron Rodgers, and he got overruled. They said no to Rodgers. Rodgers wanted to play for them last year, and they said no. They're sticking with JJ McCarthy."

Special: Rams HC Sean McVay was ECSTATIC drafting Auburn RB Jarquez Hunter in the 4th round. “There is no question that's who I want... That was my top player for today.” Hunter is extremely underrated 👀

There it is! Mike Florio saying Kevin O'Connell tried warning the Vikings FO J.J. McCarthy wasn't ready. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah didn't listen... and now he is FIRED. "This was rooted in, if not driven by, the ill fated QB decision of 2025. This tells us Kwesi Adofo-Mensah wanted what they got. J.J. McCarthy with journeyman backups and that O’Connell was cautioning against it. He was the guy saying this isn’t going to work”. (Via: ProFootballTalk)

Anytime I see the idea that KOC didn’t want a young QB, specifically McCarthy, I go back to this clip from when JJ got injured last pre-season. Either KOC does/did believe in JJ or he used the one term Vikings fans wanted to hear most and didn’t mean it whatsoever. I don’t think it’s the latter.

Jason Chaffetz is now framing it that this was a professional assassination. "First question Charlie Kirk got... was about prayer and about family and about his belief in Jesus Christ. But the second thing that came up was... a question about transgender mass shootings, and before the question was finished and before he answered, the shot rang out, and he was killed." (This is not true)

#Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell would’ve rather saw JJ McCarthy show off his 40 time that “he likes to talk about that he never run” rather than his griddy into the endzone 😂 “It was entertaining, I guess we are in the entertainment business.”

There it is. Kevin O'Connell told Tracy Wolfson before the game today that, while JJ McCarthy is going to Europe, he will NOT return to the field until week 7, after the Vikings' bye. "The plan for JJ McCarthy is to make the trip to Europe and continue to rehab there, and then they have the bye and he will hopefully play week 7."

#Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell says “if JJ is healthy, JJ will play” at QB and thinks we are right around the corner of his return. KOC added that JJ’s timeline is “a bit on the longer end,” but it’s “about what we thought.” The injury was suffered 6 weeks ago.

This hotel receptionist is dealing with a man who made a reservation, when he made it they asked for a credit card for an advance deposit. But when it was time to check in and actually charge the card, his card declined. He is now demanding that she calls the manager, she’s asking him only for a valid credit card so she can check him in. He refuses and claims the initial reservation is proof he paid even though she explains how it works to him. Is it safe to say he knew he gave them a bad card and is now trying to get the room for free?
