Vikings Discussion and Random Thoughts
Another slow day in the NFL news cycle, more rumors, lots of speculation, and lots of complete fabrications. The draft will get here eventually. I hope.
I’m going to tackle that oil pressure switch either tonight or tomorrow night, we’ll see what time I get home. The part is only $42, and that’s for the OEM Honda part. Hopefully it’s as easy as it sounded on paper. Well, on a screen, I didn’t read it on actual paper, but you know what I mean.

Thread Guidelines
- Keep politics to a minimum. We are adults, news happens, and we can talk about it. What we don’t want is to go down rabbit holes and turn a productive conversation into name calling and personal attacks.
- Be respectful and civil. You don’t need to agree with everyone, you also don’t need to make it personal. Attack the argument, not the poster.
- Keep the NSFW language/pictures to a minimum. We don’t want anyone getting in trouble at work for hanging out here.
- To summarize, behave like adults. Treat each other with respect, and things will be fine. Mods will take out content they feel is pushing the boundary. If you want to reach out about something, please do. We want to have robust discussions, that’s why we’re here, just be civil.
- Twitter sized version: Be cool to one another.
Happy Friday?
We will have a lot more to rant about in 2 weeks.
Going to go off and visit family in Oregon and Commiforna. Will be back in time for the draft.
Mom just had her 92nd, not sure how many more times I will be able to see her, got to get one in this spring.
Headed to MN in two weeks to see my 91 year old mom as well.
I try to go every six months.
Got the part for the car, i’ll put it on either tonight or tomorrow. Sounds like an easy job. I wish I had a hoist, someday I will have a shop with a hoist in it
Do you have jack stands and a floor jack? That’s all I use…hoist too rich for my blood.
I do. That’s all I use, too, but a hoist would be nice
Fred Couples at 65 years young holed out from 191 yards on the par four 14th hole for an eagle 2 today. He was one over at the time. He finished 1 under for the day. The last time Freddie finished under par in the first round of the Masters was 42 years ago.
it’s been a little slow at work today.
So i was thinking about the draft and all the players that will be drafted and how many will be hits and how many will be misses etc…
it got me thinking, just about how the players that hit and make it and succeed, i wonder if they would on ANY team, and if the players that miss and don’t succeed, i wonder if they would have hit on other teams or not. Obviously some are misses and that’s just because their game just doesn’t translate to the NFL level. but there are alot of players who SEEM like they should hit (size, speed, athleticism etc) but don’t. I wonder if that’s because they were drafted by the wrong team who didn’t unlock their actual potential…
idk, was just thinking about that.
and how hungry i am as well
In summary:
Would Jari Kurri have been the most prolific scoring European hockey player in the NHL (601 goals, 797 assists) if he played right wing for anyone other than Wayne Gretzky?
no this is just in football i was talking about.
no other sports apply
Smartass
Obviously, if KOC is teaching the QB when they come to the NFL, they have the best chance at success.
Sounds like a perfect Kirko excuse…..
i am VERY excited for JJ.
Me too
Me three.
Me also.
‘Me four’ would have been the more correct response.
Played that game with the nieces and nephews often enough to know.
#grin
never was one to follow the crowd. I sometimes even neglect to capitalize the first letter of the first word in a sentence…
I hear ya’, I like to blaze my own trails
Wasn’t that one of those ‘Football Academy Schools’? Not a regular high school like where he started before switching to get better at football.
These are the intangibles we’ve been missing at QB for a long long time. I hope the kid succeeds not just as a Vikings fan but as a sports fan.
i liked this mock because green bay gave me ALL their picks for 2026 hahaha
That is pretty good. I’m going to do another one this morning, too.
The only thing you are maybe missing is a CB, but we can use all of GB’s picks on them in the next draft!
I went into pick accumulation mode…
and since you aren’t Kwesi, you will hit on all these picks!
That would be sweet.
trade someone those packer picks for another first round pick that will torment the packers for years
….(if it hit.)
i feel bad for tyreke hill’s kids
he is one messed up individual and i’m sure his wife/baby mama’s are as well…
sucks for kids to have to be around domestic abuse crap/arguments/police coming to break stuff up etc etc…
Plus, kids then “learn” that that kind of behavior is “normal” and it feeds a vicious cycle as they grow up.
yep exactly
set up for failure at a young age.
There’s a big kerfuffle in the Bismarck real estate industry right now. Apparently, a local real estate agent and her husband have a very active page on “fans only”. I’ve never been on that site, but apparently it caters to people who want to make their own porn or something. I think they actually get paid for it, too. My wife said they were talking about it in the office the other day.
Real estate agents are normally attractive people. Leading one to speculate how far they are willing to go for ‘the sale’.
Wouldn’t think that would be a ‘thing’ in Bismarck but if she likes to ‘put it out there’ lots of options become possibilities.
She’s attractive, but doesn’t really do it for me. Way too much makeup, and and she looks like she spends a high percentage of her day looking into a mirror. She seems like she’d be a psychopath who is very high maintenance.
I have never interacted with her personally or professionally. I did a quick look at her Instantgrams page after my wife told me about the gossip, and it all makes sense to me.
Self centered sounds like.
Needs ‘Only Fans’ to validate her perceptions.
I agree, stay as far from those people as possible.
I guess she and her husband are in the process of selling their house and they’re both, so maybe they’re in some financial trouble and they’re using ‘alternative methods’ to get out of it.
Gotta watch out for real estate agents…an oral surgeon few years back in Billings was convicted for cocaine distribution, some elaborate side stories involving the defunct Billings Outlaws football team and a couple of high profile real estate agents that hosted parties.
Makes sense with an oralsurgeon, cocaine is an effective local sedative.
Oops, I meant local anesthetic. I wasn’t very good at geography.
If you find anything online about that story, did you send it to me? My wife’s best friend is a real estate agent over there.

I thought I read he wanted to go into porn when he retired.
the fact that this statement doesn’t surprise me, should tell you everything….even if you are being completely sarcastic
Don’t we all?
Not Gay Porn, just to be clear.
Not Kink Shaming those who do of course.
No thanks.
He’s going to be filming from a cell at the rate he’s going.
Well he can identify as a Woman and get all the broads he wants in prison. Woke Logic for the win.
Not his fault.
It’s this racist society that slave owners created that makes this bad stuff happen.
Never mind that he is a multi millionaire.
He should sue for reparations.
Likely topic on an MSNBC or CNN show soon.

LOL.
I saw that too…..
GM!
FTP!
SKOL!
Happy Thorsday!
Guten morgen.
I had spaghetti for breakfast, so the day is already off to a great start!
I had one of those breakfast sandwich things with Biscuit, egg, sausage and cheese. I noticed that it has been sitting in the freezer for awhile now and it needed to be eaten or tossed soon.
That’s kind of insensitive. What about those people that are supposed to be guten free?
And Sgetti has guten in it as well.
Taunting is what that is.
Yes, think of the children! Although I only know of one child who actually might read this, and he’s probably out rasslin with polecats or something…
