Merry Monday , everyone, and welcome to Skoloholics, your home for Minnesota Vikings Discussion! Every day you can join us for the latest Minnesota Vikings news, lots of Minnesota Vikings talk, also NFL news and updates, and most anything else you may have on your mind. At Skoloholics, the real action is in the comments, so if you haven’t checked out the comments section yet, sign up and join the conversation.
THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!
Before we get started, I just want to say a huge thank you to all of you. The activity here is what keeps the site going and makes it worth maintaining, and we reached a huge milestone. I’m not sure when this happened, but I did a search last night for “Minnesota Vikings blogs” on Bing (don’t hold it against me, Firefox isn’t behaving on my new computer), and Skoloholics was about 3/4 of the way down the FIRST PAGE. When we first started, it took a long time to even get recognized, and showing up on page one was a pipe dream. Again, a billion thanks to ALL OF YOU for making the site what it is, we’ll do all we can to keep improving and getting bigger and better. SKOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Random Thoughts
Wow, what a weekend! Kiddo and I had our first camping outing of the year, and although it was a bit cold for camping, we had a great time. I caught a nice catfish on Friday, then I caught a fishing pole. I’ve fished for nearly all of the 51 years I’ve been on earth, and this was the first time I’ve ever caught a complete rod & reel setup. It was nice, too; I cleaned it up yesterday after we got home from fishing. I just have to take the reel apart, re-oil it, then add new line, and it’ll be ready to be put back to use.
Vikings Discussion & Sports Talk
I love seeing the sports media and the national media get things totally wrong, especially when they’re latching onto (90% of their contact, to be honest). ESPN was ga-ga over the Lakers, with Shannon Sharpe predicting over and over that the Lakers were going to win in 5. Then the Wolves won in 5. I love it. The media also predicted ad-nauseum leading up to the draft that Aaron Rodgers was going to the Vikings. It’s apparent to everyone (except Dianna Russini) that it isn’t happening. By the way, Aaron Rodgers is still a free agent, just in case you care, which you probably don’t.
Also, I see that Sam Howell will be wearing number 8. I have no further comment……..
Also, soccer is still dumb. I saw some headline mentioning some team called “Later Miami”. WTH is that supposed to even mean? What a weird game that is (I’m not going to refer to it as a sport).
Vikings News
The Vikings have handed out jersey numbers to new players, returning players, and all other types of players, per Vikings.com.
From Vikings.com, CJ Ham is hosting the 2025 UNRL celebrity softball game for Great Causes.
Also at Vikings.com, Justin Jefferson is hosting a football camp for kids at TCO Performance Center. The training camp is May 24 from 4-7 pm, and I’ll be reporting directly from the camp, I registered my son for it. Why not? Sieze the opportunity.
Athlon Sports is linking the Vikings to free agent CB Rasul Douglas.
MSN thinks that Sam Howell wearing number 8 means that Cousins isn’t coming to Minnesota. I think we all knew that Cousins isn’t coming to Minnesota, and it had nothing to do with Sam Howell getting his number. Kirk Cousins wants to start. The Vikings already have their starter. Therefore, Kirk Cousins will not be coming to Minnesota unless something happens to J.J. McCarthy. If something happens to McCarthy, and the Vikings have a choice between Rodgers and Cousins, there’s no guarantee that they would choose Cousins. Anyway, more media gibberish, followed by gibberish by me, so there you go.
NFL News
Adam Thielen said that 2025 could be his last season, per NFL.com. I’m a big fan of Thielen, dude defied a lot of odds to just make it to the NFL, then he became one of the best WRs in the league for quite a few years. All the best to him, I hope he retires a Viking.
Yahoo Sports thinks it’s news that the Cowboys have moved around their lockers. Gee, I’ll sleep better tonight now that I know that.
Media Selection
I’ll bet I watched this 20 times this weekend, makes me crack up every time. Man, my hat’s off to the folks in law enforcement who have to deal with these psychos.

Heard speculation that Vikings will play in Europe two weeks in a row.
Seems ‘beyond the pale’ to me.
Would be pretty cool to make the trip to see one of those.
at the school social. Kiddo’s art, American flag, salute, and a fishing shirt. My man.
They didn’t expel him for that.
Don’t they know that the American Flag represents White Supremacy?
Oh wait, North Dakota……never mind.
We’re still pretty safe up here.
Idaho is similar, without the mega-winters.
Ya, the weather here is shit for 6 months of the year.
I learned in ND that Feb is only 28 days long because no one could stand it any longer than that.
You’re not wrong
Kids got his head on straight. Kudos to you guys.
Thanks, he’s a great kid

NFL: Vikings J.J. McCarthy Projected to Lose Starting Job to Sam Howell, Says Insider
I wonder if they forget to breath because they are so stupid? If might explain the brain damage.
I doubt even the ‘experts’ believe most of the stuff that they spout.
They just want to get click and thereby get paid.
Yup.
Saw that. “expert”.
Funny how nothing happened when Tucker was hitting all his kicks. Last year, his kicking got shitty, now the team is concerned. His “behavior” has been known for years, it’s coming out now.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
As in probably most families, we have gone through tragedies because of mental health diseases. If you need help, reach out for help.

I have to watch child sexual abuse training so I can coach baseball. This is some sick shit, hard to watch, makes me feel murderous.
Anyone ever did that shit to my kid, their body would never be found.
Society is getting so effed up. Don’t think passing laws will help.
Nope, and when they are caught, they’re not punished.
Well if they passed a law saying that parents can handle the punishment then it might help.
Have you seen any of the stuff going on with Angry Cops? The Fat Electrician is on the warpath. Buffalo Public Schools is about to be burned to the ground.
Sick
Watching it right now, haven’t watched much of it yet. Heard about it, it’s hard for me to watch.
I thought I would check in on the Canadian Junior Hockey sexual assault trial proceedings today. The article said some elements of the story were graphic and disturbing. Yeah they weren’t kidding. Some guys did that to my daughter and I’d come up with some diabolical shit, ricin in their corn flakes, wheel flying off their car, that sorta thing.
They’d never find the body & I’d never tell a soul.
More cards today, bought these for $2.50
Oops
Kiddo is excited to go to that football camp that JJ is putting on. Hopefully can get a chance to get a football card signed.
Sent my kid to John Randle Football Camp back in the day.
I got a signed football out of it.
Nice! All the VIP tickets were sold out, but hopefully we can still get something signed.
Maybe Puppies can do something. Doubt Twinks win more than 70.
Been fishing lately?
Opener this weekend but coincides with Mom’s day. Traffic sucks. Retired now so i pick my spots.
70 is optimistic.
Tpups are in 5 again. They have a date with OKC for the western finals. Im not sure how that series will go.
Wonder about Green and Gobert matchup.
Friday the start of the Vikings Rookie Minicamp?
that’s exciting. we get a chance to see ALL THE BUSTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Stock markets are back up above before tariff announcements. Anybody have opinions on that? Does it seem apparent that the markets think deals will be made or there will be continual pauses? Seems even though there’s still some hysteria regarding inflation and recession incoming, markets don’t really reflect that too much at this moment.
‘Stock markets are back up above before tariff announcements’
Dems/Libs/Woke/Fake News/etc will have to find something else to scare the people with.
does anyone have opinions on that??
that’s a silly question
Maybe he meant “strong opinions”… wait, never mind.
The media and the Dem’s want a recession badly to hang on Trump. They want to scare investors out of the market, and drive it down. In fact the massive amount of negative press at every turn is focused on one outcome. Ruining Trump. They don’t care what they wreck, or what damage they do, as long as they destroy Trump.
I believe we’re headed for a huge surge in the economy though, personally.
Just an a.m. view. Stock market is somewhat driven by uncertainty and fear. The tarrif issue fueled both factors causing a bit of run off. Since then, some good news – low inflation numbers and good employment numbers, and diminished prospects of a recession. Adding to that, everyone has sort of gotten used to the tariff news – much less of a big deal.
All that these factors together brought the market back.
Just a view.
GF, looks like you guys didn’t go hungry while camping. Nice haul.
For sure, GF. Nice work. And you added to your cache of rod and reels!
I know, crazy! Nice setup, too. Looked up new prices, $200 for the reel & $100 for the rod.
Nope, we had a great weekend of fishing. Nothing huge, but good eaters. We had a really fun and relaxing weekend.
That’s the size i like for eating. Thinner fillets. Toss the bigger ones back.
Game and Fish would actually prefer you take the bigger ones out, at least in lakes.
Larger female will have more eggs. I simply release anything to big to eat. More about limits and slots, lake management. I’m not destroying anything. Often times locals to the most damage.
Larger female?
LOL, yes, that’s a catch and release!
Not sure you want to catch that one.
Bait caster, 100 lb test. Loosen the drag.
We don’t keep the ones with eggs, as a general rule
Freeze them in baggies of water, what you don’t eat. They still taste great.
Yepper. We’ll eat what we caught this weekend, but then yes, definitely hope to catch enough so that we can freeze some. We ate most of our weekend catch already, dinner was yummy yesterday.
I’m not hurting the population, just know what tastes better.
I think this year the Vikings might have their best chance in a long time to get into the playoffs and make some noise. There is optimism on both sides of the ball now. The offense is fully formed, and practiced. We have seasoned players at the skill positions, and the O-line finally looks competent. The QB is unproven, but I think much like C.J. Stroud in his first year, and yes, even Patrick Mahomes, McCarthy is in a winning position. I’m quite confident KOC can get a lot out of him. Basically, all he has to do is not cock it up.
The defense under Flores is entering its third season, and we all know Flores brings more than two decades of NFL experience to the table. The players can play faster, and more furiously than ever this year.
If we stay decently healthy, this team will win a lot of games this year, and contend in the playoffs.
#nojinx
If the team makes it to the playoffs and gets destroyed again, how much slack does O’Connell keep getting?
I think you need to get rid of him at that stage.
What??
Making the playoffs 3 of 4 years but losing in the 1st round those three years means you burn it all down and start over with a new coach?
@You are right, all of the great 1st time HCs were successful in the playoff right off the bat.@
I might. I am open to being wrong, though.
O’Connell also got creamed in the big game against the Lions for the division. He is 0-3 when it counts.
One would think he could at least be 1-3 just by law of averages, but he is 0-3. Bad luck…or does he suck when it comes to big games?
Can he get better? Sure.
But if it happens again, he will be 0-4 in big games. That is a trend.
I’m with Wrenage. It’s not just the losses, it’s the eye test of the games. Completely non competitive @ DET, then @LAR.
Both of those to me were on Darnold holding the ball too long and being indecisive.
Though I suppose at some point a coach has to recognize his player is failing and needs to change things up one way or another.
Darnold screwed the pooch, big time.
There were some coaching mistakes, of course, but Darnold was missing screen passes by 5 feet.
Nah, it was just Kirk failing in big games. That doesn’t happen to other QB’s. Perhaps it is some coaching blame?
KOC is the best coach we’ve had in a long while. Dude also graded out as 2nd best coach by players themselves. He also just won Coach of the Year.
No way.
All that you say is valid points, but I am playing Devil’s Advocate.
Only five coaches have won a Super Bowl with a team after year five. Only two in the modern era: Cowher (14 seasons) and Reid (7 seasons).
So, O’Connell has time yet since he only have three seasons in. All his eggs are in the JJ basket at this stage.
I agree with that. Coach and Kwesi are both tied to JJ and his ability to QB the franchise. I give it 3 years with JJ as the starter. If the playoff futility continues, we get to clean house again.
Or, the team finally wins a Super Bowl. Dammit.
I disagree that all the eggs are on McCarthy. Actually I see it quite the opposite. McCarthy is almost the least important ingredient at this point. He is cheap, and can be replaced if need be. The team is very solid around him.
If JJ goes down, might still be able to bring in Rodgers!
None of his QB’s in those games are known for big game heroics. In fact, they are prone to panic.
JJ will be better.
I hope so. It would be fun!
Well, that’s a fair question.
But he just signed an extension, so I would assume he has 2 more years no matter what happens.
The question is mostly academic. Now that O’Connell won Coach of the Year, that probably guarantees him like seven more seasons with the Wilfs.
LOL!
It’s funny because it’s true…
Didn’t Zimmer get fired in the first year of his last contract?
if the defense kicks butt this year, i’d expect flo to be gone…
unless he thinks this year or next year is the superbowl window for sure. perhaps if we dont make it this year, he’ll give us one more year…
Assuming no disaster, how long is current window with current +/- roster? 3 yrs?
So every year is different, and Flores may not be with us next year. We have some 21 players who will not be under contract next year at the moment, and we’re already $34M over the cap. The team next year is likely to be very, very different. This is what every team faces, and it’s up to the GM to keep fielding a competitive team. Thus, I can’t say how long the good times are apt to last.
That seems more like a GM than a HC issue then?
Well yes, but whomever the GM brings in, has to be fitted in and instructed by the coaching staff, so it is a give and take relationship.
I always caution people with high expectations when dealing with the Vikings.
They tend to do the opposite.
Hopefully the NFL experts will be down on the Vikings around pre-season.
Well, thanks to last second heroics to tie the game, the Jets took down the Blues in game 7 double OT last night. Now it’s every Minnesotan’s favorite team the Stars playing in Winnipeg on Wednesday for a best of 7.
That means that of 5 Canadian teams in the first round, 3 are still standing. I like our odds.
Worked for me in series 1…Oilers play the Golden Knights, I just don’t see how they can beat them, they match up well against Edmonton in all areas on the ice. So I won’t bet on the Oilers to win.
The Caps will take care of any Canadian team they face…
The Leafs have to beat the Hurricanes, first.
BSPN has the Packers ahead of the Vikings again.

Fun side note(s):
The latest Fox NFL ranking has the Vikings 16th, behind all three of the other NFC North teams.
https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/2025-nfl-power-rankings-which-teams-most-improved-post-draft
Because Sam Darnold is gone? What was their rating before last season when Sam was the projected starter?
I remember one projection that said the Vikings were going to have the number 1 overall pick in the draft. JJ McCarthy starting, upgraded O-line, upgraded d-line and the Vikings and the Vikings are somehow going to fall off a cliff. Not to mention the addition of Mason.
Based on national pundits, the Vikings are going to be the easiest over bet on wins there is unless half the team gets injured.
I think JJ (QB) is the key. If he is injured our win total will fall off the cliff.
We got a new backup. They’ll be alright, but JJ is going to play the whole year and will be in the MVP discussion. Can he be comeback player of the year even though he didn’t play a snap last year?

I support this message wholeheartedly.
The ‘Experts’ have shown time and time again that they know nothing more than the rest of us. The only thing that they are experts at is getting paid for their takes/clicks.
You are totally correct. “Experts” – my wife knows as much.
good. i’d rather be ranked poorly
ESPN also said the Lakers would win in 5. They molest collies.
Did you see the video of Anthony Edwards trolling the LA fans after the game. He was walking down a street and they were saying something to him. He responded with “after game 1 you said Lakers in 5, when we went up 3-1 you said Lakers in 7. We just sent you packing.”
Threw my back out yesterday. Muscle related, not vertebrae. This is a bad one.
Anyone have any tips on loosening it all up? (other than alcohol)
Do chiropractors help with back muscle issues?
Heat? Stretching if possible.
Rest of course.
I only pulled my back once at work (prison), knocked me back the rest of the night but was able to slowly ease my way back over a few days.
Doubt mine was all that bad compared to you.
Yeah, heat and stretching has helped a bit. I’ll keep it up.
Unfortunately, I found found that time and rest is the only thing that helps. I used to have pretty bad lower back problems. Blew up a disc. Spasms would lock me up every now and again. I’m on top of it now, but all I know about for help is ice/heat, rest and ibuprofen until it gets better in a week or so…
Sorry, man, it blows.
Usually same here, which is why I keep telling my wife “no” when she asks to call the chiropractor.
i think a physical therapist would be a good idea. My brother in law really threw out his back bad a few months ago and he did the chiro route but found a physical therapist actually helped more.
Anything muscular loves heat to promote blood flow and healing. Couple days of max advil will also fight inflamation.
I’ll have to dig out the old heating pad and hope it still works.
OK, here are the most common back spasm treatments:
Ice/heat: Apply ice or heat to the location of your back spasms. Wrap the ice pack or heating pad in a towel or pillowcase and apply it to your skin for 20 to 30 minutes. Then reapply after 20 to 30 minutes.
Over-the-counter pain medications: Over-the-counter pain medications, including acetaminophen (Tylenol®), naproxen (Aleve®) or ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®).
Muscle relaxants: Your provider may recommend taking a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine, metaxalone or methocarbamol. If you do take them, take them at night (or when you’re not operating a car or heavy machinery) and only for 72 hours or less.
Physical therapy: Your healthcare provider might prescribe physical therapy, where you can learn relaxation techniques and stretches for your back muscles.
Thank you.
Sounds like something I can Google.
Personally, opioids have always worked best for me when I am having back problems.
@I’ll have to try them out.@
that sucks. Heat and stretching work best for me. I used to go to a chiropractor, and getting adjusted would help, but it would take two weeks or more to feel completely normal. Went to my GP one time, and he gave me flexoril or some such muscle relaxant. I hated how I felt on the meds, but for two days it helped me survive. Still took two weeks to feel completely normal.
So, the last few times it has happened, I just stretch, use Icy Hot or Sombra, and the heating pad. Cheaper than either doctor, and I feel normal in about the same amount of time.
Yoga has been the best thing I have to try and maintain flexibility.
My chiropractor told me, when you strain the muscle it takes a minimum of 6 weeks to get back to normal. After 3 weeks it will start to feel better.
Sounds like your chiropractor wants to get paid for six weeks.
No, he just wants the expectations of his visit to be real. I rarely have to go back after an adjustment. Maybe a second time if my spine is really locked up.
Thanks for the reminder on Icy Hot.
Sadly I’m also very impatient, and 2 weeks sounds like too long. 🙂
Did you pray for patience? That could be the problem. A pulled back is a long haul to recovery.
This me:
THC gummies help
@or so I hear@
PT or a massage. Chiropractors dont do much for muscles besides maybe that electro stimulation but that only goes so far.
That’s what I figured.
In my experience, chiropractors are mostly quacks who just care about cracking sounds and generally not really helping to get better (or pretending they can help things they can’t). I’m sure there are some good ones out there, but seems to not be the norm IMO.
I go to one of the best Chiros in the nation, unfortunately he is retiring. Most of the time when he fixes my issues there is no cracking noise. He explained to me the noise is gases being released between the bones in the joint.
Im kind of in the same boat. I havent gone in years and iv been able to remedy my back pains through exercise and stretching
Sitting around is death for a bad back. Got to keep them limber for sure.
Yep, movement is key. Get out & do stuff whenever possible.
Hey GF, read your comments above on your site showing up on the first page of a search for “Minnesota Vikings blogs” on Bing. I’ve said this before, but you understood that folks wanted to exchange their thoughts about the Vikings and other things without a whole lot of “management” by biased administrators.
You gave us all a forum to just be ourselves, and express our ideas without censure. It’s been a great ride thus far, and when we win the Super Bowl this year, this place will go crazy.
Thank you for being the guy who gave us a place to be idiots once in a while.
if we win a superbowl, i’m going to burn this place TO THE GROUND….
out of joy of course.
Spoken like a true liberal.
i will lead the mostly peaceful rioting
If I were you freezey, I would take every penny I have, and borrow as much money as you are able to, and put it all on the Vikings to win the Super Bowl this year.
#nojinx
I take offense to that. It should read (at least for me):
I too am a sinner, similarly.
Well stated and I wholeheartedly agree.
Thanks GF!

Amen! Agree completely, thanks Brad!

If the Vikings open the season at home, it will be Atlanta.
If the Vikings open the season on the road, it will be the NYG.

I like this one from that guy. It rocks!
Back to back games overseas for the Vikings?
Wouldn’t shock me.
Slow schedule leaks coming before May 14th.
i HATE overseas games for the Vikings. absolutely hate it.
I think we are undefeated oversees….the more the better.
Maybe they could do the Super Bowl overseas
I have not watched an overseas game yet. They are always on at churchin’ time.
yep same for me
Yup.
what are you, some kind of jesus freak??
Yup.
I think the reason God took the 7th day off was to watch football.
I can’t find that in the Bible anywhere so I could be wrong.
Sounds right.
Football is mostly on Sunday’s after all.
I thought you were supposed to take Tuesdays off, not Sundays?
Original sabbath day is actually Saturday.
I also hate them, but, hopefully people like HunViking get a chance to see a game over there.
I don’t mind em. It’s kind of nice waking up and watching football at 7 am. If the Vikings play, then the joy or pain is over early enough to get a full day of family time in.
I don’t mind it if it’s an away game, we usually win them anyway
Honestly, it makes ZERO fiscal sense to me to have games overseas, especially when my team is playing:
I assume Goodell and the NFL are getting something financially out of it.
I can’t imagine anybody in Europe interested in an evil American game over the long term. Americans are just a bunch of uneducated rednecks.
So yeah, it doesn’t seem to make much sense to continually do this.
The NFL is all about making money.
If they are doing it it is because they found a way of making money from it.
I honestly don’t think so, for the reasons I stated. I bet your average Irish (Dublin) fan isn’t paying more than 100 euros to get into a game. A portion of ticket sales revenue must go to the venue itself. Concessions are virtually 100% local except the little bit of licensing revenue the NFL gets from selling a jersey. The ROI on an advertising dollar spent for these overseas games has to be shite vs your average 11 am (Mountain Time) start time.
It’s all about “growing the brand” for reasons that frankly mystify me. Then again, I’m still patiently waiting for one of these big trade deals to happen post tariff implementation, so what do I know about the big picture?
‘for reasons that frankly mystify me’ does not mean that there are not good reasons.
As for Tariffs I am starting to believe you are being obtuse. The reasons have been explained to you multiple times but you don’t want to see it.
I’m not obtuse. You realize that for three weeks we have been getting the same line, straight from the horse’s mouth, that there “could be [trade deals] announced this week”. Media spin and crooked politics work both sides of the aisle.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Call me obtuse. The elephant in the room is China, not the hundred other countries that we are sparring with. Things are going to start getting tough real soon for Joe Consumer.
Don’t worry, though. Any day now some big trade deals will be announced!
How are problems going to get ‘rough for Joe Consumer’??
If he doesn’t buy anything from China he doesn’t pay any tariff. Almost all of the junk from China can be done without.
Scare Media seems to be working well with you..
Have you made an honest assessment of how many things the average consumer purchases in a month from China? You may be able to avoid buying anything from China but most cannot. The thinking that it is all junk that can be done without gives you peace, but is that true for the average consumer?
Just looking around my office – this laptop is made in, the monitor I’m viewing on is made in, the keyboard is made in, the mouse is made in, the desk my arms are resting on is made in, the chair my butt is sitting in is made in, you guessed it, China. But wait, you say, so far the tariffs don’t apply to computers. Then there is apparel, furniture and (I googled these three to round out the top five imports) sports equipment, footwear and toys. Many consumers will be in the market for these items, and the ability to pivot to American sources of these items will be constrained by the same supply chain problems we saw in the pandemic.
Yes you CAN buy that stuff from China, the question is do you HAVE to buy that stuff from China?? There are other options.
Like this weekend DJT was asked about ‘some prices going up’, he replied ‘some but some like gas/food/eggs/ect are going down’. Interviewer said ‘but strollers’. Trump interrupted ‘Strollers?? Gas/oil prices are a 1,000x more important than strollers’.
Keep focusing on the negative, the world is complicated you can always find something to be afraid of.
Incidentally neither the price of gas nor the price of eggs has gone down in my town.
There is absolutely no current option to buy a computer that doesn’t have some components made in China. You know what happens when demand outstrips supply.
And Computers and Cellphones have been exempted from Tariffs.
Find something else to be scared of.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20xn626y81o
We’ve also gotten the same line about how your portfolio is taking a hit.
I’m not sure we need to be calling people obtuse. There can be different opinions on this stuff. I know that I don’t always hold the company line on these things and I often have a healthy dose of healthy skepticism on some economic policies until the results show the rhetoric yea or nay. There are a lot of variables in the tariff issue including consumer response that can cause variable outcomes.
Oh I agree that ‘not agreeing’ does not equal ‘obtuse’.
But ‘there is none so blind as he who will not see’.
As stated ‘I am starting to believe you are being obtuse’ which is not the same thing as accusing someone of being obtuse.
Maybe he is acute, maybe you’re coming at it from the wrong angle.
If he disagrees I can respect that.
I am not above being wrong. But this constant ‘I don’t understand’ despite multiple explanations from several people borders on obtuse.
If he understood but disagreed that is something different. I understand people not agreeing with Tariffs.

Math joke, LOL!
So if I say I am starting to believe you are a cocksucker, we are all good? I love parsing diction.
Post on the local FB page (anonymous of course) said, a lot of narcissists work at the local hospital. My wife posted that her husband doesn’t have a narcissistic bone in his body and has practiced for 30+ years in the medical field. The reply was he must be a gopher. I don’t even know what that means. However, it probably isn’t a compliment. That’s how I view your obtuse comment, you’ll notice I don’t come up with an unpleasant adjective like curmudgeon or spurious or lugubrious for the many posts that lean that way from various posters. It seems more and more that you want just a single narrative on subjects on here…can you explain why?
Suck dick one time…….

Now that’s a good comeback. Rec for you.
So we can agree on some things, good.
It blew my mind being stationed in Germany, first time I heard “Tune in for Monday Night Football – 2:00 Tuesday morning on AFN!”
Luckily we worked 4-1-4-1-4-4 shiftwork (4 swings, 1 day off, 4 mids, 1 day off, 4 days, 4 days off), and most of the time I was still up.
My dad would faithfully tune in to listen (only off air (local German) TV available) to the playoffs games of the CFL Eskimos. If they won he would come in and wake me up and give me a big hug and kiss. Haha.
We used to work 3-3-3-3 (swings-nights-days-days off) in the Army. Your schedule sounds even worse.
