Merry Wednesday, everyone!

Alright, the football news is starting to ramp up as the players begin to show up for training camp, so we have some preliminary rumors and excitement to discuss. Hey, it’s better than nothing, which is all we’ve had to talk about since the draft in April. The preseason is nearly upon us, and we’ll have football highlights coming out of training camp any day. With that, let’s get to the news and then the comments. Y’all have at it, and remember, be cool to one another.

Recent News:

From SI, Irv Smith is a “full go” as the Vikings enter training camp with minimal injuries.

Dalvin Cook and Harrison Smith are ready to roll, per KSTP.

The Vikings have placed CB Nate Hairston on the non-football injury list, per TwinCities.com.

From Vikings.com, HC Kevin O’Connell addressed the media yesterday.

Video of the Day:

Hey! Get out of my rowboat. Here’s Coal Chamber. Enjoy!

World Hoax Organization did it already, despite the majority voting against declaring monkeypox a “pandemic”. But Tedros had to do his masters bidding, so we now have a new “pandemic” at hand, it seems…

Strangely enough Kirk had a pretty high amount of rushing touchdowns for a QB with ok Not good mobility while he was with the redskins, the Vikings have not made use of him in that regard for whatever reason.

As far as KC… who else were ever going to get? It seems the new management was trapped, saddled, stuck or blessed with KC from the start. I don’t think the Wilfs would have entertained another option…

The Vikings need leadership that overtly says “every time we step on the field we expect and intend to win”. Not just compete, not do their best (losers do their best), win. Haven’t heard anything of the sort from KAM or KOC. Neither one has said what they intend to do in any regard yet. Why didn’t a reporter ask KAM what his plan was to build a championship team? KAM did an interview and basically said you need a team with a lot of pro bowlers to win. No duh. Jeez, why didn’t I think of that? Just exactly how do you intend to do that KAM? Nope, no one asked the question. No one has asked KOC how he intends to win the North and make a deep playoff run. Why is that? They’d rather wax poetic about feel good stories, social justice, and any other cause you can think of. Let’s get down to brass tacks. I see no master plan here at all.

I think what we have witnessed with the very slow rate of inflation for years was the result of the supply chain being tightened by cheaper labor and advances in production in foreign markets keeping the price of everything down. A spin off of the “five questions” “six sigma” “yellow belt” supply chain economics with low inventories and the internet of things keeping things in stock by a razor thin margin.

There is no doubt we need a viable source of critical components grown at home but at what cost? After the pandemic settles down will we just fall back into our old $5 t-shirt from Taiwan habits?

So, the 4 syllable golf swing is having a good effect.
Just spent another hour at the driving range, and every club worked well except my 3 hybrid. 3 iron was fine. Driver, I ended with 16 in a row, all middle and only 2 had a slight fade to them. All playable.

It as also fun to say Kirk Cousins Is Ass

Hit the ground in front of the ball. Use foot powder to draw a line where you would normally have your ball in your stance and try to take a divot in front of the line without hitting the line for practice. I don’t even focus on the ball when hitting irons, just the grass right in front of the ball.

You want to ball to launch off the club face, not off the grass/dirt on the club face. If you try to brush the tips of the grass before contacting the ball you run the risk of taking too much dirt before you strike the ball you will lose accuracy and distance because the ground slows down your swing.

It’s OK to take some ground after the club face strikes the ball cleanly.

Ever since Cousins usurped the God RGIII the media has had it out for him. It was sacrilege in D.C. when it happened and he has been chastised at every turn, despite exceptional play. They started at the end of 2015 when he racked up really good numbers by saying “yeah he completes a lot of passes but he’s just a checkdown QB which is why his completeion percentage was so high”. So in 2016 Cousins led the league in air yards. Eventually Cousins continued to play well and put up great production so the naysayers in the media started harping on his win/loss record to justify their position that he isn’t very good. They have to do that because he just keeps playing well and putting up big numbers every damn year. It’s interesting that in the TV broadcasts Cousins seems to be the only QB that they highlight “his” win/loss record. I’ve never seen the media do this to any other QB. Also they never highlight the stats that actually show how good he’s played since becoming a starter.

27 July 2022 2:37 pm

Well, it’s an interesting argument I think. Note the teams that Cousins has been saddled with to the teams Brady has been on. Granted Brady is a superior QB, no doubt about it. But also Brady has never been on a team with a bad line, bad running game, bad defense, or bad kicker. Ever. Look up the rankings of his offensive line, running game, defense, and kicker every year he was in New England. Also note in 20 years Brady had three OC’s. Mahomes? Similar situation. Andy Reid is a true offensive genius, and the Chiefs are very well constructed team.

Cousins started with the Redskins… one of THE worst teams in the league and came to a Vikings team where as soon as he showed up the running game went South (in 2018) and the defense began declining to the point it was amongs the worst in the league the last two years. Mahomes has never been on a team like that.

Just points to consider. When people say Cousins needs everything perfect to succeed (he doesn’t because he’s put up big numbers with bad lines in front of him his whole career), Brady has enjoyed that kind of team around him his whole career.

I was surly yesterday cuz I was up from 1 to 3 am talking to coyotes. Fuckers woke me up I swore they were on the other side of the fence singing a song. By the time I got out there all I could see was blurry shapes running over the northern ridge at top speed. All I saw after that was a couple of deer moving into the creek area to bed down. I did have a dog answering my calls but eventually I must have said something to piss him off cuz he shut up. Kinda like the SK.

I have a midrange thermal scope (read mid four figure not mid five figures) and beyond 100 yards if they are moving a deer can look like a cow can look like a dog can look like a coyote. Beyond 200 yards even stock still I wouldn’t chance it unless I had already identified them in closer. Hell if coyotes didn’t make coyote noises I wouldn’t shoot for fear I’m taking out a litter of golden retrievers.

It is fun watching them respond to the foxpro calls and doing what they do (ftd mainly) when they are wandering around in the fields. So far I just sit in one or another convenient hide and see how close I can get them in. I’m planning on some action this fall and winter.

We will. KOC talks a good game and the media is over the top trying to get the players to say how much “better” the culture is (which to date I have not heard a single player really voice) but in the end it boils down to performance on the field. I am a firm believer that men who are going into battle are more compatible with a hard nosed, steely eyed leader than a guy who cares about their feelings, thus my somewhat negative view on this new regime. Neither KOC or KAM are the type of guy I would want next to me in a bar fight.
