Merry Wednesday, everyone!

Not a whole lot of news out there still, but hey, at least we still have each other. Awwwwwwwww, isn’t that sweet? Meh, whatever.

Recent News:

Over at Vikings.com, they have a training camp preview of the QB position.

Video of the Day:

Here’s another great clip from John Boy & Billy, reading a letter they got from one of their fans. Funny stuff.

Well, there isn’t much else to talk about, so y’all have at it in the comments, and remember, be cool to one another.

Testingng this on my new Galaxy Tab Notebook thing. My laptop is having issues like the right click button no longer works, it loads pages slow, etc. So my wife who has one of thes Galaxy Tab things suggested I get one. I don’t like it at all. It’s like having a big smart phone with a keyboard attached. No cursor all touch screen, and all app driven. No way to open multiple web pages at the same time, and no files storage that I can find yet.

Go with Apple, it’s simplicity to use and quality is unsurpassed. You won’t be dissatisfied. Also get one of the phone cases that has it’s own battery. The protect better and it gives your phone a second battery to stay charged. Phone with last without a charge for a couple days even with frequent use.

How about some CONTEXT!!!! The guy who is claiming he did it is an illegal {So those open boarders works out well} The abortion could have LEGALLY in Ohio under several statutes. The doctor {Who as a manditiry reporter & legally was supposed to} is also a pro-choice voice who never contacted law enforcement. The doctors sent the child out of state to build the media outcry. But we should hear one side that is pissed off over the court decision. Your turn there Skippy!!!

So the invading criminal goes to prison for many decades, the doctor loses his license and goes to prison for many decades and the 10 y/o ends up in the same place as she would have before states/people were given the right to self govern.

Only difference I see is the Dr going to prison after losing his license, Prick deserves it, and should be an example to other asshats who refuse to report rapes and child abuse.

The thing that upsets me the most is she “sobbed” in front of my injured sister for an hour, which really upset her. I was livid with the controlling sister and was trying to get out of there so I wouldn’t go off around Debbie. I did storm off, which I’m sure ticked her off, so she charged after me trying to bully me into having a conversation I was too mad to have. Still, I should have calmly said I can’t talk about this right now, instead of telling her to eff off.

I’d love to claim you. Honestly, we normally get along fairly well. Learned not to talk about politics.

My favorite relative (other than conservative daughter and her immediate family) is my injured sister. She’s a liberal, but without the attitude. She’s sweet and kind to everyone.

Being mobile is not a prerequisite to being great. Ask Brees, Manning, Marino, Brady, etc. You hang your hat on too many false narratives. Cousins production speaks for itself. In his career as a starter only two QB’s have thrown for more yardage and only three have thrown more TD’s. Those are his personal production accomplishments. This behind terrible O-lines, and the last four years running a prevent offense with a different OC every year of his starting career. Cousins does his job at an extremely high level despite never being on a good team or being in the same offense two years in a row. It’s borderline miraculous what he has done based on the elements he has had to deal with.

Yet other players, coaches, execs and scouts don’t think he is a top 10 qb. He wasn’t even honorable mention. So he’s likely top 16, which is where most fans think he is.

I couldn’t get motivated to invest any time into looking at Tua or the Dolphins in general either. I know all the major moves and stuff that comes across my twitter timeline. I know he had that serious hip injury, a crappy OL and who knows what was really going on with that coaching staff. Folks say he’s really beefed up and worked hard this off season. If Armstead can stay healthy, Tua’s certainly got enough offensive weapons now to know for sure after this season what Dolphins have in him. Seems like a good kid as far as I know, so wish him well.

I went to one in Rochester about 10 years ago. They had a ticket you could buy for, I think around $30-40 that included all the food and beer you wanted plus the best seats in the house. It was actually a pretty fun night. 4-5 beers and a couple hot dogs while watching decent baseball.

tough day today. my pastor just passed away after 7 years of battling cancer.
he beat it twice, but the third time took him.
leaving behind a wife and 8 children (most fully grown and out of the house) and 9 grandchildren.
i’m thankful for everything that man has done for me in my life. while this is a very sad time, i can also rejoice knowing he has fully run his race and he has finished his race. he lived his life serving Christ and now he gets to be with Him.
I pray you all will have a relationship with Christ so that when your time comes, He can say to you, well done, good and faithful servant

Shelter is the single biggest component of CPI (33% of the Index) and is still being wildly understated (@ +5.6% YoY) with rents up 14.1% over the last year and home prices up 20.4%. Which means that the true inflation rate is much higher than 9.1%. pic.twitter.com/4pRUNxW0mq

Dont think I want to move that often. Plan is to sell and flip within the next 3-5 years, finding a significant other to help with income will affect that time line. In my mind renting is just a waste of money, you are spending the same amount or more than a home payment and you will never see that money again. Houses you are at least building equity, you own land, and can do/change whatever you want when you want.

You are looking at renting as a young man who plans to stay in the same area. That is a very limiting demographic. If you lived 4 different places/countries per year, would you buy 4 different houses to live in for 2-4 months each?

Also, any crazy hyde who moves in, have her sign a lease every 6 months that includes her specifically not claiming any spousal or homestead rights and has her paying rent and utilities.

If you don’t, expect to be living in a van down by the river at 50.

Yes. He did.
He must be making millions from big pharma on vaccines.
He flat out lies or has no conscience about his “science” constantly changing.

DR. FAUCI: One of the things that’s clear from the data [is] that even though vaccines – because of the high degree of transmissibility of this virus – don’t protect overly well, as it were, against infection, they protect quite well against severe disease leading to hospitalization and death. And I believe that’s the reason, Neil, why at my age, being vaccinated and boosted, even though it didn’t protect me against infection, I feel confident that it made a major role in protecting me from progressing to severe disease. And that’s very likely why I had a relatively mild course. So my message to people who seem confused because people who are vaccinated get infected – the answer is if you weren’t vaccinated, the likelihood [is] you would have had [a] more severe course than you did have when you were vaccinated.

Gone fishin'

I'm a dad, husband, Army vet, believer, and a die-hard, life-long Vikings fan from the great state of North Dakota. I've been a Viking fan dating back to 1980, I've been covering the Vikings for nearly a decade, and I founded Skoloholics in 2022. I work in real estate and property management, I love spending time with family, working in the yard, doing anything in the outdoors, and as you can tell from my username, I love fishing.
