Re: Minnesota Vikings #22

Oh, and here is something I missed until just today: The Vikings got Krause and Smith together at Krause's garage, where he holds Vikings game-day events. https://www.vikings.com/news/rare-vintage-harrison-smith-paul-krause-talk-cars-careers To call it a garage in a misnomer.
