"That's serious, though," Newman said. "We had a conversation the other day where, a team lines up and he calls out the play. They just line up and he calls out the play -- and they run the play. I've seen him do it countless times. It's just amazing. He knows everything about the game."

Zimmer seems to have more than a few of these relationships that were cultivated throughout his years in the league. I can't wait until we start hearing these stories from relationships built in Minnesota.
