Vikings Discussion
We’ve made it to the weekend! Kiddo and I are near Canada, somewhere near the middle of nowhere, for a basketball tournament. Kiddo is playing tomorrow starting at 9:00 am, and they’ll play their last game sometime around 4:00 pm. It’s a long day of basketball, followed by a three hour drive back home. Well, it took us three hours to get here, I’m nearly 100% certain that the ride home won’t take as long.
NFL News
A former Vikings wide receiver is eyeing a potential return to Minnesota to re-assume the WR3 role with his former team, per MSN. K.J. Osborne has expressed interest in reuniting with the team, which should make most fans happy, Osborne was a popular player in his time here.
Deandre Hopkins had previously expressed interest in joining the Vikings as well, but apparently, the Vikings have no interest in bringing him aboard, per Yahoo Sports.
ClutchPoints.com has the Vikings moving up to #11 to draft Jeremiah Love in next month’s draft. I’d be happier than a puppy with two peters if that happened, but I seriously doubt that Love would be available at 11. If he is, then they should do what it takes to get the running back, he’s a game changer from day one.
CBS Sports predicts five potential landing spots for Odell Beckham Jr., if he succeeds in making a return to the NFL.
The Browns are ‘adamant’ that they aren’t trading Myles Garrett after restructuring his contract, per NFL.com. I don’t believe a word of that, I trust nothing that NFL GMs tell the media, especially during the silly season, and especially the Browns. If there’s a stupid move to make, you can count on the Browns to be the team to do it.
Media Selection
It’s the weekend, a perfect time for conspiracy theories mixed with doom and gloom.
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.
Memories…
I think I was working during that game. I didn’t get to watch it just read about it later.
Jared Allen was a beast. That was a fun season.
Siemon, Browner….
“Old” Is When…
Your sweetie says, “Let’s go upstairs and make love,” and you answer, “Honey, I can’t do both!”
This is really anti-American… Waltz supports the Somali’s trying to take over? WTF?
Being Woke and having TDS has rotted his brain.
has rotted -you mean he “used” to be smart?
He used to be ‘not as stupid’.
Joey Browner…..
goddamn.
I’ll never forget him dragging Mike Renfro out of the end zone and sparking a brawl – Thanksgiving 1987. Vikes won a shootout in overtime. I was 9.
RIP
Claimed he had a ‘Kung Fu’ grip from martial arts training.
Take these folks at their word, and send them packing. They did not come here to coexist.
Lots of Christians feel the same way about their religion but they keep it to themselves.
Muslims are saying the quiet part out loud and too many of them are willing to put into action, violently.
So I have never heard a single Christian claim they are superior to all others, ever. I’ve lived in 26 countries. The ONLY people I have ever heard espouse this are Muslims.
I was a big fan of Joey Browner.

Sad, great player, good person (it seemed), a little concerning as he was younger than me.
RIP.
Same… RIP
I remember watching this game and browner pick six, and lol, Denver drafted Maddox in the first as leverage against elway, he was terrible, though he later had a couple decent years with Pittsburgh
Damn, sad news. He was an absolute stud!
RiP and SKOL!
Why are these ridiculous excuses for people in charge?
Woke + TDS =/= Logic.
Lost power at the house for about an hour and a half, bother. Wife was cooking up some meat sauce, and the coffee machine was brewing up my third cup. Started the game over. Great watching the Vikings offense and defense doing so well.
Losing power in SoCal was pretty normal, even bought a small generator there for such events as they could last for 8hrs or more. Having a gas stove helped as well.
Here we have lost power once for about 90 minutes, during a storm, in the two years we have been here. We have an electric stove here so I got a gas BBQ in case we need to do some cooking during an outage.
A generator definitely helps, but it’s a bit of a deal to get it wired in etc. If there’s a prolonged loss of power, I go to a hotel for a day or two. Grin.
We bought our retirement home 5 years ago, put in a whole house generator. We are on well water, so no power,no flushing!.
We lose power 2-3 times a year, usually less than 2 hours. Once this winter we lost it for 3 days. I love the peace of mind
We considered the Whole House Generator thing in SoCal, power outages were a regular thing especially during ‘wildfire’ season, and winters and the summer ‘Rolling Brownouts’ etc.
We still have emergency lights in every room in case. Plus in the back of our minds it is always a consideration.
Rewatching the week 7 game of 2019 where the Vikings beat the Eagles 38-20.
Cousins threw to Diggs for three of his four touchdowns, racking up 333 passing yards as the Vikings ravaged the Eagles secondary.
This was the game Zach Brown, who was on the Redskins with Cousins, said in the week leading up to the game, that Cousins was the weak link on the offense, and they wanted the ball in his hands. In the presser after the game, Cousins said he was unaware of Brown’s comments and he was a great player and teammate in Washington.
The Eagles released Brown the next day, and he never played in the NFL again.
Fishing update: the 2 boys had fun. Using spinners they caught 12 trout, lost a bunch. Most everone else were using worms or corn, so the boys made them all look pretty bad. They were good size, for stockers – 11 inch average i would say. Bigger than other years. Kept 3 12 inchers for dinner.
Next week i head to the mountains for some real fishing
‘Most everone else were using worms or corn‘
Corn for fishing? Never heard of that, how do you even get corn to stay on a hook?? Throwing some in the water to draw in fish I could see.
Not a big freshwater fisherman, have much more luck on day excursions off the coast.
Most people who use corn dont catch fish. I hear of it as a bottom bait for carp and suckers
No on Osborne coming back, he has sucked since leaving, last year he didn’t even play, just no.
I think we can do better, in the draft probably and Felton might even work out.
7 catches the last 2 year. Given our QB shit show last year, lets see what Felton has.
Yahoo sports writer thinks Kyler-Vikings is not the best fit but it could still work out.

I guess our 2026 Free Agency moves were not interesting enough so they are already looking forward to 2027.

JRobert I see Stephen Miller is on Life, Liberty & Levin today, it should be an interesting show.
It was a good show. Time allowing I listen to both his weekend shows, Like his style and most all of his research.
He is kind of preaching to the choir for me.
I agree with almost all of his points Just pointing them out in greater detail and with more logic than I could come up with on my own.
I got it wrong too…
1 Jan 1900?
I am as smart as all those guys.
I got it!
I guessed 1 Jan 1900. Thinking about it, I suppose I can see 1900 as the end of the 19th Century.
Considering AD started with year 1 it would be 1901, not 1900.
That’s the logic… it evaded me.
I remember watching him.
https://www.vikings.com/news/jeff-siemon-linebacker-mourn-passing
I vaguely remember him.
Not a lot of Viking games on TV in SoCal at that time.
A great Viking! Loved watching him.
RIP and SKOL!
OK, here’s another item I have never seen before. I need to get some of these.
Showed it to my wife, now she wants a few.
The Teacher likes the idea as well.
But her ‘candles’ now days are LED with remote controls.
II let him organize that stuff around the house.
In DC today.
Cherry Blossoms are out.
No Kings dipf**ks are out in mass.
.
‘No Kings Rally’, you couldn’t pay me enough money to near one of those.
Those people are insane.
I grew up in Fairfax Va. We used to go to D.C. to see the Cherry Blossoms, walk around the monuments, etc. this time of year. Sad that these lunatics are allowed to ruin it for everyone.
The US Supreme Court is about to consider President Trump’s executive order that ends birthright citizenship for illegal aliens and migrants who cheat the system. Oral arguments begin on 1 April.
Trump’s EO directs all U.S. government agencies to refuse issuing citizenship documents to children born to illegal immigrants or children who do not have at least one parent who is an American or a lawful permanent resident.
The constitutional provision at the center of the case, known as the citizenship clause, is part of the 14th Amendment, which was added to the Constitution in 1868. The clause confers citizenship on anyone “born … in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” It was intended to overrule the Supreme Court’s notorious 1857 decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, holding that a black person whose ancestors were brought to this country and sold as enslaved persons was not entitled to any protection from the federal courts because he was not a U.S. citizen. Trump and many others maintain that the clause has been utilized by illegal aliens to birth their children on U.S. soil, and claim citizenship in appropriately.
This is a landmark case for the U.S. and we’ll see how the Supreme Court interprets the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment. It is my opinion that liberals will see it as including anyone and everyone born on U.S. soil regardless.
I expect the Chief Justice to play political games with the decision.
He will probably steer the decision to support the status quo.
Likely
President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele releases video showing the transformation of his country.
Since Bukele took office:
– Homicides plunged from 2,398 in 2019 to just 114 homicides in 2024.
– Murder rate is now 1.9 per 100,000 people, a historic low.
– In 2022, Bukele declared a state of exception and made over 85,000 arrests.
“Everything in life has a cost and the cost of being called authoritarian is too small to bother me much,” he once said.
Remember, the left wants total control, and they label anyone who opposes them and fights to restore law and order as an authoritarian. High crime and public fear is a fundamental need for Marxists to take power.
I especially like his ‘SuperMax Prison’.
We need to send more of the ‘Worst of the Worst’ there. No more of this ‘rape and murder and get sent back to your home country’ were you are free to do it some more.
I agree. The immense and overt resistance of the left to make the country safer, more secure, and more prosperous must be addressed by the law abiding, tax paying citizens. They must vote these people out of office. The Dem’s have rigged their states to make that almost impossible, but the tide is turning in my opinion.
I had a friend show me this way back in the day, at Eglin AFB golf course in Niceville Fl. We’re talking 1985ish.
What do nail polish and women’s panties have in common?
I was going to say ‘The Crybaby’.
I can see that…
Where we stand currently with the Greenard Situation.
Hope we can either keep him, happy and productive for 2026 or move him for some good picks and cap space.

I get tired of oft-injured players wanting big contracts not long after signing one.
Are you saying it is very Danielle Hunter like of him??
Yes. It has worked out for Hunter who has stayed very healthy since and has gotten paid big time, but that doesn’t mean it will work out with Greenard, a lesser player.
Hunter 2.0
Remember if we oppose these folks, we’re Islamophobic… nothing to see here.
Maybe in Minnesota and New York but NOT in Florida. Even the Democratic strong areas down here, like the Palm Beach area, is very wealthy and very Jewish and the aren’t going for the Muslim thing.
The Tampa Mayor is extremely pro Muslim, and their numbers have grown from around 10,000 in 2000 to over 750,000 in 2025.
Tampa’s LGBTQIA+ Mayor Jane Castor has surrendered Tampa to a Muslim Brotherhood stronghold.
She signed an official proclamation declaring March “Ramadan Muslim Heritage Month,” praising Islamic organizations for their “many contributions to our city and nation,” while hosting taxpayer-funded Iftars at city venues and lighting City Hall green.
At the heart of this transformation is Magda Elkadi Saleh — Head of School at Bayaan Academy and former leader at Universal Academy of Florida (UAF) and American Youth Academy (AYA).
Magda is the daughter of Dr. Ahmed Elkadi, identified as the national “General Mas’ul” (leader) of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood in the 1980s. Her grandfather Mahmoud Abu-Saud worked directly with Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna in Egypt.
Over 30+ years, Magda has built and led multiple Islamic schools in Tampa that emphasize intensive Qur’an, Arabic, Hadith, and Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence).
Believe it or not, the Muslim voting population in Tampa is now sufficient to sway all elections, and create an entirely Muslim led Governance structure.
That’s interesting and I don’t understand why people do what they do.
Take the LBGTQ community – do they know what the Muslim community thinks of them? And what they would do to them given the chance.
That circumstance only highlights why these people should never be in charge of policy and decision making to govern others. They are blind, stupid, and insane.
Been around for a long time, but this is something I’ve never seen.
Super cool. I wonder why the design is not used much today.
Same… very cool design.
Germans have some pretty strange stuff, and a lot of it works pretty well.
Indeed
A different kind of cresent wrench
Definitely different, definitely clever.
First!
Skol!
