It is big, bold, outrageously delicious. It’s brew time. It’s always brew time here at Onear Love Show. Thank you Brew Pub for sponsoring this vid and being a sponsor of our channel. Go to the local gas station, grocery store, wherever you want to go, find yourself some brew pub lots of you cannot go wrong. Let’s get into these news and nuggets. Here we go. Ty Felton attended the NFL PA rookie premiere. We get to see old 13 glistening in that jersey. See him in his brand new shiny does. And also I think it does show something like they’re not going to send any rookie there. Diamond Jackson didn’t go. I don’t know what this, you know, why he didn’t go. But Ty Felton goes, I know he was the next pick up, but also you’re not gonna send a guy who’s not gonna have a role in 2025 to this thing. So, I think it just kind of maybe points a little bit to him having a a pretty prominent role in this offense this year. Yeah, I mean, I’m not going to go that far. Uh, I think Donovan Jackson just couldn’t go. He was the next man up. I just I was glad to see that uh he looks so damn good in his jersey. I mean, I do think he will have a role and then I mean there was those videos uh out of him on draft day. Yeah. Where he was getting really upset if he was not going to be drafted on day two. Y and finally he got that phone call. This dude’s passionate. This dude is ready to go. And uh Jaylen Naylor should be shaking in his panties. Oh, I’m sure he is. But you know what? Jaylen Naylor loves competition and so is Ty Felton. And those two are going to battle and I can’t wait for it. Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy’s 4.9 million cap hit is the fifth lowest among staring quarterbacks in the NFL for 2025 season. This is why you want a rookie quarterback on your team. Uh because you can spend money elsewhere. Yeah. Everybody like, “Oh man, he hasn’t proved anything. He hasn’t done anything.” That’s why you take rookie quarterbacks. Brock Perie is getting $53 million a year and we’re paying JJ McCarthy 4.9. Well worth the swing. And look at all the weapons we had around him. Like you said, you can’t have it all. They did everything perfect. This is beautiful. Some of these quarterbacks getting paid makes me nauseous. Yeah. And you know, maybe you know, if McCarthy pans out, he’ll be getting a huge contract down the road, too. Um, but right now you love it and you’re going to just keep building this team because you have that uh flexibility in your quarterback’s salary. Uh, yeah. I mean, look at the offensive line we put in front of him. Look at the defense we have. He is set up to succeed. And, uh, if the day comes where we have to pay him, that’s a good thing. When it comes, we’ll gladly pay him because we’ll have two Super Bowl championships by then. Uh, let’s talk about the mustache gate. Kevin Oonnell showing a bit of a lighter side. uh putting on a fake mustache the second or third day of the draft and just kind of uh surprise lightening the mood in the old draft world. Yeah, if you haven’t seen this picture, go and find it. It’s easy to find. It’s hilarious. And the best part is when they took their they wanted a picture together, he just did this goofy ass look which made it even better. Like Kevin Oonnell, he’s a character. That’s why everybody loves him, man. Uh and hopefully he showed Quy does not look good with that stash. I hope Quayy was like, “Man, is that what I look like? I need to shave that thing.” I love it. It just, you know, goes to show their relationship and you can’t love Kevin McConnell anymore. Like, I mean, this guy’s definitely a character. So, you love seeing your your head coach having some fun and making fun of his GM who’s apparently a probably a pretty good friend of his as well. Uh, so I might even say they are pals. I hope uh I hope the whole damn team shows up in August with just full stashes. It would be absolutely Ryan Wright could pull it off no problem. He could grow one in like an hour if he tried. He’s a man. He’s a man. He is a man. So, uh, 41.2% of the Vikings games on the 2025 schedule will be under the national spotlight. That’s damn near tops in the NFL. Yeah. I mean, a lot of lot of lot of sources out there saying the Vikings, you know, they’ll have a tough time making the playoffs, blah blah blah. Well, the NFL thinks otherwise. They don’t put some ass team uh under the spotlight for 41% of the games. We should be honored. No. and does it, you know, it shows Justin Jefferson, the draw that he has amongst the national uh sporting world. Uh yeah, and you’re not going to put a bad team, like you said, out there. So, NFL believes, we believe 41%. That’s a lot. That’s a I love the Sporting World makes me so happy. I love being part of Sporting World. We are We should rename our our show to the One Bar and Lepaga Sporting World show. It’s not bad. It’s not a bad name. Great. Could be better. Uh, and lastly, Vikings have been considered as one of three locations potentially host the Combine if it moves from Indianapolis. Uh, what do you think with that combine in Minneapolis? Oh, he’d be there be there in a heartbeat. Um, it makes sense. It’s a beautiful stadium. It’s a beautiful city. Uh, it makes 100% sense. I don’t I didn’t really look into it that much to see why Indie might be losing it or if they’re just going to move it around like the draft. Uh, but Minneapolis, uh, state-of-the-art complex, it would definitely work. I mean, it’s just as centrally located as Indianapolis is. Maybe some of those South teams have to go a little bit further, but it’s not like it’s crazy out of the way. So, I mean, I don’t really care in the long run. In the middle. I I you know, it it to me it should always be in Indianapolis, but they do move it. Why the hell not move it to Minnesota? Uh yeah. No, I would I would love everything about that. Uh the news bag is empty. Slow time over the year, but we’ll still be here damn near every single day, and so will your brew pub pizza waiting for you at the local grocery. So get your butts over there and have a slice. That looks so damn good. I might eat the whole thing like I did on draft night. Guys, remember this. The longest verified home run in Major League Baseball history is 575 feet. Hit by who? Wombar? Mark Whitten. Babe Ruth in 1921. They even have measuring capes
