I guess NFL will do nothing till Adison court date. Suspension maybe next year. Not sure on his ankle.
Read our D kicked some Browns ass. Skol.
Commenting closed. This site is weird.
Was surprised that the Patriots vs the Eagles game was so close. The second stringers don’t inspire much do they?
Good morning, SKOL!
FTP!
When you’re retired every day is Saturday. What day is this ?
I’ll be joining the retired crowd next summer. Looking forward to it!
More stolen valor news:
In 2016, Thomas Behrends, who took over Walz’s battalion after Walz retired from military service in 2005, penned a private letter to Walz imploring him to stop using the title of Command Sergeant Major.
“It saddens me that after your long career in the National Guard, that you did not fulfill the conditions of your promotion to Command Sergeant Major…It’s quite a title to have, when it has been earned. I would hope that you haven’t been using the rank for political gain, but that is how it appears.”
So, I would expect the Eagles to kick the shit out of the Patriots tonight…

Wow that’s the first time I’ve ever seen that.
My daughter sent me her grades for this semester and she attained a 4.0 for the semester. While looking at her report, I noted one of her classes was “Social Inequity”.
I met with a couple of Financial Advisers from JP Morgan and Chase on Tuesday and at the end of the discussion I asked how the Corporations Woke Policies would effect my account if I started one with them. They both tried to say how their Corp was not woke.
After I quoted them several actions and policies that I had found in a simple search they completely flipped the switch. It became, just because JBM and Chase was ‘woke’ doesn’t mean that they were and I could ‘filter out’ any woke companies from my portfolio (pro abortion, DEI, pro gender mutilations, etc.)
They explained that ‘woke/DEI policies’ were more about protecting the companies from litigation if they where sued. Corp could just say ‘see we put out the policy but the individual ignored it’, otherwise it has zero effect.
I doubt I am going with those guys.
Be a Boglehead, low cost index funds:
We have an appointment with an independent who is highly recommended.
Will see what he has to say before any decisions. We have funds that need to be invested before inflation eat them away.
Love me some John Bogle, I have holdings in Vanguard index funds stretching back 33 years. With the exception of IRAs, all my active investing goes into Fidelity these days since they are my employer’s choice, but my copy of Common Sense on Mutual Funds is well worn.
During a Donald Trump visit to North Carolina yesterday, a woman Secret Service special agent abandoned her post to breastfeed with no permission/warning to the event site agent, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.
A DEI hire right there.
Is this really true? In the military, you leave your guard post like this and you are in deep crap – provided your buddies don’t kill you first.
When contacted about the incident, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the incident did not have an impact on the event and it’s under review.
How was it even known to be reported? Just curious.
The site agent that was in charge of security for the event found the agent breastfeeding her child in a room that was supposed to be set aside for Secret Service “official work.” This occurred five minutes before Trump’s motorcade arrived.
The site lead reported it. I mean what else is a site lead going to do after the mess in PA?
These guys aren’t covering for anybody, anymore. It’s every person for themselves. I’m not gonna get fired because you’re incompetent.
Wait a minute, her child was with her ON A SECURITY DETAIL? WTF? What’s next, breastfeeding a child during ground ops?
I assumed she had taken a break to pump milk.
Look, it’s Trump… no big deal if he gets killed right? He’s going to jail before the election anyway. Besides, my kid is way more important than he is.
I could see the Site Lead reporting up the chain internally. But it got in the public domain too.
And of course the Secret Service spokesperson answered the question about it. So, this really happened.
Why the fuck is a nursing mother assigned on an active secret service role?
It’s unfair to discriminate.
DEI shit is out of control. I’m what they call a dark Norwegian, No one gave me shit.
but but only our QB’s suck
RGIII is out as well.
Farewell Sam…
RGlll sucks!!!!
I concur. And I’m sick of the woke programming of the left in our media.
good for her. men shouldn’t compete in women’s sports. seems pretty cut and dry to me
Damn right, pretty soon some of those husky farm girls will be wanting to play in the NFL.
Is Addison playing, today? Or is he still drunk?
Haven’t seen anything, but I think he’s out for awhile.
heard he was in a boot and on crutches.
It’s that helium hat!
Wonder who’s throwing the ball?
but but i thought we were getting OBLITERATED by the browns?!!?!?
Well KOC did ask them to lighten up…
Gawd it’s gonna be 4 months of this drivel
Yep, or at least until they put him on IR before the drop to 53 guys.
Yep, LOL!
Why risk doing anything that might risk a complete and full recovery.
What if he is fully recovered in 3-4 months?
As someone who has meniscus problems, they can be tricky and everyone’s body is different.
If I am 100% sure by next season he is good to go, and can think like there’s a 90% chance in 3 or 4 months, is it really worth it for some game reps and developments. If he is my prize future QB, I’d play it very conservatively about this.
I don’t disagree, but I could see them not putting him on IR early and keeping that possibility alive. Shoot, maybe he’s fully healed by January, Sam gets them into the playoffs and then gets hurt. At that point, do you go into a playoff game with Mullens or a healthy, inexperienced McCarthy?
If we get that far – a huge IF – I’d be inclined to go ‘with what brung you.’
By that’s why KOC gets the big bucks.
That’s why I’m saying what if what brought you there becomes unavailable? Do we want a repeat of the Joe Webb playoff game or given the opportunity throw the rookie in? Yes, it’s a huge if and there’s no way to know, but at this point in the year, if you think JJ might be available in December or January, keep the ability to activate him there. Don’t hamstring yourself. If he’s not ready or needed, then leave him on IR.
The issue I would have as this – if I were KOC. Coming off this type of injury, I wouldn’t want JJ to be doing much if any scrambling. – just one awkward twist or hit. From the pocket, is there really that much difference from any of them, except Hall maybe.
Just me, I’d probably choose losing a playoff game in the short run compared to long term considerations.
If he is at a state where you are worried about one twist injuring him, then he is not healthy and this conversation doesn’t happen.
Menicus tears are very different than ligaments and tendons because they are so avascular. They also don’t just build up with scar tissue and get stronger in the long run.
And healing is different in this respect (experience and talking with a lot of other guys with this). Rather quickly ,and for a long time, you can run forward and backwards really well. Lateral movement is a very different story and takes a really long time. Like for me, I could jog, even fast, in a month, but tennis or basketball still a problem nine months later.
And we had the conversation because someone posted and if question..
I get that. If there is increased risk of further or re-injury because of this injury, then he is not healed. I’m talking when he is full go, ready to roll. If that truly can be or ends up being in 3-4 months, then keep him available. If he is not truly fully healed, then he sits until next year.
I’m not explaining well. Y9u tear an ACL,they can do some serious tests for strength et al. With this, you do lateral strenghten ing and testing, more limited though. Appears fine. Then go out and make just a slight misstep and pain.
I’m just suggesting when full to go is not quite and exact science with this injury like some others.
I actually think that is how meniscus tears happen, whether repaired or not. Twisting of the knee joint.
We have 8 IR to return spots. I’m assuming Hock is on that list. Need to be careful using a spot on JJ. Like I said, I just can’t wait for rampant speculation for the next four months.
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we’d all have a Merry Christmas!
he meditates so might be even shorter!

Hmmmm no one wanted hear about Cousins as a Christian, but now… McCarthy is iconic because of his Christian values.
i’d be curious if he posted this same picture and had some sort of satanic message, if people would be posting it haha
False. At least in these parts, that part of Cousins was always respected. Nobody ever said anything negative about him as a human.
Other than his lack of grilling skills anyway.
Before I was a poster and out of town, I used to read comments on sites (lurker) and Cousins got clobbered for not taking the shot and being a prissy ‘goody’ Christian.
Yeah, the lefties are like that. Even Cousins biggest haters here never said anything about him being a bad person. Lifer would have been the only one to go after that part of Kirk.
I personally rooted for his wife to leave him
I doubt you had a shot at her anyway.
Bow, please show me where anyone ever referred to Cousins as iconic because of his Christian values here, or anywhere, ever.
He was condemned loudly, and mocked for his position on COVID immunizations.
He was never celebrated here or anywhere else for being a Christian.
He continues to be mocked here for devoting time to his wife.
Give me a break.
I never said he was idolized, but nobody here demonized him over his personal values either except maybe Lifer. All the covid crap was DN days and I don’t know if I was around for any of that. Joking about him taking time off when the rest of the league is working is not mocking him for being a Christian. There have been many conversations here where everybody agreed that he is a great guy and person. Where the disagreements start is play, contract, etc.
That’s my point Bow. Exactly. Cousins is a devout Christian and overtly presents himself as such. No one ever idolized him for it. You say, “no one demonized him” for it. How nice of you. Thank you for not demonizing him for his personal beliefs.
Now someone posts a picture of McCarthy kneeling on a field, and labels it “iconic”.
God I hate that Twitter account.
Here is a dumb article, not one on the list is better than what we already have.
https://sports.yahoo.com/11-veteran-quarterbacks-vikings-could-134148127.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKLCyeJ0_7WF1mNm9Pcy1Uvj7zTVCXjuiwZbzDeL9QIBLOaeQlbN1-n4iNXa4PtfxjpThlO3KzpXbmOMeYZw9sHDLqELRilsbwo3jAN714UPft8HwyMroXrBQjCPzzMMfGyLfby9O579Xjk3kqJ7y7npFHgQYZz0–FEvLqM2eOf
What? No Kyle Sloter???
Eh… Tannehill is a better QB than Darnold… but not by a huge margin. Of the two, I’d take Ryan over Sam though.
thats like saying you’d rather eat a burned hotdog over a burned burger.
both suck
I wouldn’t say Tannehill sucks. I’d say he’s average.
eh. meh. blah.
Still better than bad.
In the offseason, didn’t we sign Darnold even before the draft. Somebody must have thought he had some potential for something.
This is the same crew that said they heavily researched Dobbs before they signed him…
Point is though, they selected Darnold even before the draft and may not have even gotten a QB in the draft – or a reasonably good one.
Whether they judge or not, over my pay grade.
“Somebody must have thought he had some potential for something.”
They thought Dobbs had potential too. That’s my point.
If your point is valid, what makes you think they are any better at drafting one?
I don’t think they’re any better at drafting anyone. Honestly.
Man, what a great Offsping song. Loved that track and learned it on guitar at one point in my youth. How’s everyone been doing? Had to take a break for a bit, probably will again during this election cycle if this place turns back into RepublicanHolics echo chamber aka Trump can literally do no wrong and Harris is corrupt POS. Which of course the latter is very true haha.
Anyway, what did I miss? I really do hope everyone is doing well!
I just listened to the track, I am generationally opposed to that style of music, but am glad you like it.
I’m sad that we lost a year of rookie development with JJ. On the DN it is pointed out that this is the first time a rookie QB has been lost his entire inaugural season in decades if not centuries ahhhh Vikings it never fails. I’m also sad we have a dearth of draft picks in 2025 and am having increasing misgivings about KAM.
However, life outside football is grand, I love the cooler days as we approach fall and getting into camping and hunting season.
I assume Harris and Walz will win. *&$#(!
Haha, here’s a track for ya. I defy any of you to not giggle at this. It’s catchy too.
Top 40 right there boys
LoL on that. Just turned 61, and I love that song and style of music.
I am strange that way, and like music 10-20 years after it is popular.
I do not hate Nickleback. I guess I have issues other than just being a fan of a cursed football team.
Listening to Shinedown a lot lately..
Hey Edge, good to see you. Hope all is well.
A lot of us are in the dumps, due to the loss of JJ McCarthy. God help us!
Yeah my general reaction was:
Hopes of developing the QBOTF this year…
Glad you’re back. How was the cornfield? (We assumed that’s where you were and you didn’t refute it so it has to be true).
Blowies in the cornfield?
haha, cornfields SUCK!
or you could just like….ignore the politics and comment on the football stuff like normal people do…
ya pansy
It’s so fucking bad right now. My social medias are so full of brain washed morans (RIP 5), who a month ago were 100% bought into Biden is the man and now for some reason don’t see issue with the fact they were lied to the entire time that he was as we all thought a brainless geriatric case. Then you got the other side screaming about Biden letting criminals in while voting and supporting a convicted criminal (there’s many other and worse things but that one makes me giggle, I know I know he’s innocent or his felonies don’t matter got it, white collar crimes have never hurt anyone right?).
So coming here and seeing over and over how only one side is corrupt just gets old man. I am all for it if even once in a blue moon someone would post something negative on Trump because he’s no perfect politician or person like people seem to think around here.
i just want you around ok? so suck it up.
Ha! We’ll see. Got lots on my horizon. Concert Sunday in Sioux Falls, and band practice. Going to MN state fair for the first time. Then seeing Bad Religion, Judas Priest, and my band is opening for John 5 next month!
Going to Stephen Wilson in Minneapolis, he’s gonna blow up big in the country space in the future. Same weekend as Vikings playing the lions. Might have to go to both.
when will you be at the fair? it will be a great time for you.
I’ll give you a negative on Trump, I wish he would STFU about playground bully stuff like Jon Tester has a big gut, how Kamala pronounces her name this week, and just press forward with bigger issues like policy and how his will differ from the Harris-Walz plan, whatever the f that turns out to be.
I heard he started saying “Tampon Tim” trying to get a Sleepy Joe type nickname to stick hahaha. So dumb.
Trump has no policy that doesn’t help Trump. Not a thing he does is FOR America if it isn’t for Trump first. But yeah I’d sure like to see him actually talk something of substance.
I’ve been watching “Designated Survivor” on NF. I can only imagine Kamala negotiating the crises that Kiefer has, if someone told her there was a crisis at the Pentagon she’d probably start giggling and say a pentagon is a shape, specifically a shape that has five sides…
Trump was the greatest President I have ever served.
Trump is at heart a business man and pretty big time in real estate development. Would think his businesses, like may others, benefit from cheap illegal labor.
And, I like your push back and opposing view.
Pretty big leap from not wanting overpay for labor, and “cheap illegal labor.”
Unions are powerful, and can cripple a business if left unchecked. They also drive up costs of goods to the consumer.
Have to find a sweet spot that works across the board.
Look at what the rail unions are doing to Canada. Ready for a jump in food and petroleum related prices?
Correct. Politicians in bed with Unions to get elected, has created this mess.
Was merely trying to serve up an example to Edge so as to suggest not everything he does is in his own self interest.
That blather from Edge that Trump only cares about Trump is the left’s big false narrative. Trump did more for all Americans as President than any President I’ve ever served.
That’s just it. Trump was rich on his own entrepreneurial spirit and family wealth (not getting into the weeds re bankruptcy etc if you don’t like the loopholes legislate them away) versus these f’ing politicians who have gotten rich from graft and bribery. Therefore, rather than enjoy his retirement and play golf he has chosen to run despite the obvious cost to himself, and I choose to believe he does that out of a sense of duty to America and its people.
I don’t think for a sec that stolen valor statesman Walz gives a s about the country.
PS if presidents can only serve two terms why is it not the same for the legislative branch. Bunch of c s ers.
The last Tester door knocker that showed up at my door, when I told her that Tester is crooked, has taken more bribes than anybody in DC and there’s no way somebody on a congressional salary becomes worth 10s of millions of dollars honestly, told me that he became worth 10s of millions of dollars because he has a farm. Anybody out there know a farmer that has that kind of cash from farming?
I get old photos popping up on my OneDrive. One showed up from my senior year in HS, several of us were bought at the slave auction my senior year (1986), and the photo shows us lined up with shovels and pitchforks after we spent the day piling up deadfall after the teacher that bought us had broken a half section with a tractor and plow. Not only did I chuckle that I was the only one not wearing a cap (as my father said that would cause premature baldness THANKS DAD) but I chuckled at the fact that circa 1986 a teacher could buy two river bottom sections and a tractor and plow to break them with.
Remember when Rush got crushed from the media for suggesting Republicans had good looking women (Palin) while the Democrats had dogs like Hillary.
Love that Bow!
Yes
I believe General Ennui is in the house
Yup.
Just puttering around the house.
Making sure I have everything I need for ‘chocolate banana bread’ since I have a couple of bananas that need to be used.
No kink shaming.
QotD:
Wanted to thank Ben for continuing to post daily threads while Surly recovers from the ‘gut punch’ we all got.
Thinking when Brad shows up next we should suggest NLNVF for Admin so he can post consistent weekend threads. Plus with his retirement coming up he might be able to ‘fill in’ as needed.
Yes, I am better at volunteering other folks than I am at volunteering myself.
Dont really think he’s admin material tbh. Id rather have Jrob
LOL
Multiple people have been arrested in connection with actor Matthew Perry’s overdose death, according to TMZ.
TMZ reported Thursday that at least one doctor and multiple drug dealers have been arrested following law enforcement launching an investigation into Perry’s passing.
Additionally, multiple law enforcement agencies have executed search warrants and seized computers, phones and other electronic equipment to determine who supplied the actor with the ketamine that caused him to lose consciousness in October 2023 and drown in his hot tub.
I just read somewhere online (so you know its true) that Addison may receive a 6 week suspension. I thought we were looking at 1 to 3 games, 6 seems like a lot.
i suppose his broken ankle doesn’t matter then
Nah, the timing will work out such that he is physically able to return as the suspension is enforced. @it’s awesome news@
So… is that why you’re here?
I wish I never became a Vikings fan
We’re about to break out anytime!
One would have to wonder how you know what ‘sucking donkey dick’ is like.
No kink shaming though, doubt the donkey minds.
Is it too late to trade Jefferson for a boat load of picks?
Probably get a little less for him due to his contract.
Not advocating for that trade though.
I’m nervous with a $35M thoroughbred out in the pasture with a bunch of nags.
Just insert Sam Darnold for Kurt Warner.
QOTD: Morale is low. Motivation is waning.
Just waiting for hunting season.
Nice, get any others on your cameras?
A couple. Lots of moose and mule deer, a few cows and calves. No big bucks except one at the end of June. Couple other smaller bulls and a bull that looks pretty good but it was too far away to make out any detail. The slow elk have moved in but luckily they seem to only go by my cameras about once a week.
Slow elk in the area during archery?
No idea but I’m expecting it.
Some times I think I should take up archery for ease of drawing a tag. Then reality hits and I realize I am not a die hard hunter anyhow and my skills won’t magically improve with a bow.
I also don’t like the mechanical advantage of compound bows, think it makes it too easy, like a cross bow, but that is a discussion for another forum.
TL;DR one of these days I’ll draw a rifle tag in Garfield County and will get the shot of a lifetime only to miss.
‘will get the shot of a lifetime only to miss’
Spoken like a true Viking fan.
Wide left
Outside of a few archery only permits, you are applying for the same permit as a rifle only hunter, you just get an additional 6 weeks of hunting.
Is that Wyoming?
I was thinking about road ripping to the Cheyanne area yet this summer.
That’s Nunya Creek up in the Notellem Mountains.
Here’s a hypothetical for everyone; what if we are in the playoffs, due to great defense and running game, and passing game struggles, JJ is cleared to play and is tearing it up in practice. Do you go with the rookie to make his debut in the playoffs.
Again this is a big IF.
If Darnold looks like ass and they are winning from pick 6s and such then maybe.
Not sure about this. Even with Mullens, and despite turnovers, our passing game was stout and there is no reason to believe it won’t be this year. And this was without a running game last year. If we should add a running game and a ‘great defense’ we will be just fine.
No.
Last f’ing thing I want to do is toss a rookie against a battle hardened team and watch him develop happy feet and checkdown charlie syndrome, followed by a roasting from the media and fans.
QOTD – Really can’t answer the question. However, if the plight of the team’s success this season was determined by a rookie drafted QB that has never played an NFL game, that speaks volumes.
Salient point JR.
i said this below, i wasn’t expecting JJ to help the vikings in any way this season. I’m more just bummed that i don’t get to watch him in the remaining preseason games AND bummed for him as he will have valuable time growing physically into the NFL, instead rehabbing etc…
but i didn’t think he’d play a down this year unless we were firmly outside of the playoff picture (which is what i expect)
This is a rational view of the situation. Losing McCarthy for the year is kind of a wash, because KOC intended to start Darnold all year, and not do anything with McCarthy until he was ready. Being ready meant fully understanding the offense and all the nuances in applying the offense against the opposing defense. He was expected to do that this year while holding a clipboard. He’ll still do that this year watching from the sidelines.
He may not be the answer as a rookie, but Darnold is not the answer at any time.
Was thinking more broadly and perhaps more long term.
Losing JJ does take some of the “sizzle” off the season, but there are still lots of bread and butter issues we need ti improve on to have top notch team.
QOTD – do not even feel like watching football this season.
Team will be drafting top 10 again.
Same here. All depends on the defense at this point.
Even though Darnold was almost assuredly going to start the season as QB1, if he faltered (of which there is plenty of history) then we had the excitement of the rookie stud QB. Now if he falters we have the excitement of……Mullens? Hall? Ugh.
Higher draft pick to combine with all the cap space next year to load the team up for JJ’s first SB run in his first year as the starter.
Hmmmm some folks think that’s a great strategy. Unfortunately, right now the Vikings only have three picks in 2025, and a conditional pick likely for Cousins.
Which in theory makes this a bad year to suck and finish with a high pick, unless Queasy manages to get moar picks.
And I’m afraid we are going to suck with Sam.
Actually, if we are going to have a down year, this would be a good year to have it.
Not saying it is a good strategy, but if we end up with a top 5-10 pick, since we don’t need to spend it on a QB, we could trade it to a QB desperate team for their 1st and maybe a 2nd and 3rd pick.
Sounds like a plan. Now we just have to go through a season that probably will suck, like last in the division and 3 or 4 wins.
we are definitely the only team in the division that doesn’t seem to be on the rise. kinda sucks. but it happens.
Yup, happens from time to time. Only good thing is that the curse started it’s damnable work very early this season, so we can get prepared for what’s to (likely) come.
The damnable thing is that once again we lose a year of the most valuable possession in the NFL, a rookie QB season.
Indeed, a huge loss.
Not advocating tanking. I just feel this team, with Sam at QB, is a 7 win team at best.
Maybe this will be Keenum 2.0 and we get a fun ride until January.
I am skeptical.
So doom and gloom
Read some reports that the Browns kinda beat up the Vikes (physically) yesterday in practice? True? Do we have a soft team?
I just heard their defense “dominated” us. Whatever that means.
Yeah, I read that they were taunting Darnold for all the incompletions, etc.
NBD at this point. Also, watched that Cleveland defense against the Niners last year, and they shut them down pretty darn well.
i also heard that the vikings defense was beating up on the browns offense.
so i have a feeling both defenses played well in practice
I read that O’Connell had to go talk to the Browns DC and tell them to tone it down a bit.
Same here.

#Browns Kevin Stefanski said today wasn’t a great day for pass protection for his team, attributing it to miscommunication issues for Cleveland as well as a strong Vikings defensive front.
there are always two sides to every story.
glad to see the pass rush looked good
Turner might be the bright spot this year. Let him shine and win DROTY and next year will be JJ’s turn to shine.
my outlook for the vikings season hasn’t changed with JJ’s injury. I will be SHOCKED if we are better than .500. JJ wouldn’t have helped in that, in fact, the only reason i’m bummed for JJ is that i hoped if we were firmly out of playoff contention, he could have gotten some game experience.
We’re gonna be picking high for a DT or CB next year, IMO
Since we have a dearth of picks next year, we’ll have to parlay that high first round pick into some day 2 picks…that will all go on to be HOFers!
Yup.
This part made me a little less gloomy today ‘a strong Vikings defensive front.’
Good morning, SKOL!
FTP!
Darnold is the man! Go Vikes!
If the Vikings are to be even decent it will be the defense and an improved running game that get them there but I think they might be able to not totally suck
Another game coming up Saturday, and Darnold is out according to KOC. Gonna be the Mullens and Hall show. At least both those guys have experience with the scheme and running the offense. Let’s see what they got!
Mullens is a turnover machine and hall just flat out sucks, but it’s the preseason so maybe they look serviceable
Mullens is truly a turnover machine, and always has been. Can KOC scheme some of that out of him? Hall is young and inexperienced. It’s too early to tell if he sucks, is average, or can play a little.
What was 400 yards passing and 4 interceptions?
To early here to look it up, seems about right.
Yup.
411 yards and 4 int vs the 2nd Detroit game.
Interesting enough he had 396 and 2 in the 1st Detroit game.
So in 2023 Mullins lit but Detroit for 807 yards and 6 int, 2 losses.
Other way around I believe.
I think I’ll go see how my bow is shooting and my kids want to shoot their 22.
I’ll watch part of the game. Let’s see what they got.
I don’t know if I’ll watch or not. Got some chores to do on Saturday, so we’ll see.
Happy Thorsday,
