The Kalil brothers swap info

[Mr. Scot]

Quote

The Kalils aren’t quite as famous as the Mannings, but brothers Ryan and Matt do plan to follow Peyton and Eli’s lead and spend some time hanging out together at the Super Bowl.

Just don’t expect any in-game television shots of Matt sitting in a luxury suite high atop Levi’s Stadium in Sunday’s Super Bowl 50.

“We don’t have money like the Mannings, so Matt probably won’t be in a box,” joked Ryan, the Panthers’ starting center. “He’ll just have his comp ticket he gets from the Vikings. If he needs more, he’s getting his own tickets. I’m not getting him any tickets. He can afford it.”

 

Quote

Ryan said the two have talked business about the Broncos. The Vikings nearly upset the Broncos in Denver in Week 4. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater completed 27 of 41 passes for 269 yards and a touchdown, but was sacked a season-high seven times, including the strip-sack by safety T.J. Ward that clinched Denver’s 23-20 win in the closing seconds.

“Matt and the Vikings had some experience with Denver,” Ryan said. “So I’ve been picking his brain and asking him some things the last couple weeks. It’s been fun.”

Hadn't seen that story, thanks.  In the sidebar at the Star Tribune, lo and behold, two more articles about Panther players who were once Vikings:

This is pretty funny.

“We actually lost the game, but the team from Texas had illegal players so we got awarded the national championship. I was 11 years old wondering why these dudes from Texas showed up with mustaches.”

I could see Allen riding off into the sunset if we win.

He'd deserve it, too.

So basically the Vikings are playing in the SB if you're a viking fan. I would always pull for the SB team that had the most former Panther or Gamecock players.

Remmers was on the Vikings practice squad as well.
