Happy Wednesday, everyone! We keep you up to date with all the latest Minnesota Vikings and other football news.

Not much to report from yesterday, unfortunately, as the team took the day off from training camp. They’re back in action today, so hopefully we have more news for you tomorrow. Until then, y’all have at it in the comments, and remember, be cool to one another.

Recent News:

We looked at whether Greg Joseph may be the Vikings’ answer to their kicker problems.

The Pioneer Press questions, since several current Vikings players and coaches have been on Hard Knocks, might the Vikings be next?

Vikings.com looks at 10 Vikings Camp Takeaways So Far, and there’s plenty more to sift through in the media vault.

Fox9 gives us a synopsis of Sunday’s training camp practice.

Video of the Day:

Hey, here’s a great one from Widespread Panic. This is still one group I’d love to see live.

Anyone who knows baseball knew their pitching was suspect to trash before the season started. This front office does not know how to evaluate front line talent and is still dumpster diving for pitchers year in and year out. I call they would be exactly .500 when the season started.

History shows clearly that Cousins can throw the ball well and generally not make mistakes with the ball in games. Years of data on this. Cousins will be fine in the regular season. He’ll throw for over 4.500 yards and 35 TD’s. Five is being his normal self.

Certainly his entire time here the offense has been built around Dalvin Cook with the passing game seemingly an afterthought. Cousins has always been a detail oriented, execute the offense as designed and as called guy. The way the new scheme plays out Cousins will be throwing the ball at times to a hole and expecting the receiver to adjust their route and get into that hole. Gonna be interesting to see if the connections are there or a lot of incompletions.

I think Mannion sees the game as a coach and understands the offense better than most. I’ve never seen him play but his stats are singularly unimpressive. He may know what to do and where to go with the ball, but getting it there is another matter.

My guess is that when he shows up at practice he can slo-mo through every single play and deliver the ball fairly accurately, hence he’s good at working with and running the 2nd team.

And then at game speed he crashes like an Anne Heche.

The FBI raid on President Trump was approved by Director Wray, who also claimed that the illegal FISA warrants used to spy on Trump were constitutional.

A liberal judge signed the warrant based on whatever evidence the FBI presented.

To me, this is a preliminary strike manufactured by the left to discredit Trump and keep him from running again. They have weaponized the justice system to take out their political enemies. Your next conservative America. Any time they want to take you out they can and will.

This is a very dangerous time for our country. The left will abolish all our freedoms and rights one by one. Very concerned.

Even after 7 years, they’re still throwing stuff up against the wall and hope they stick.

Denver’s minimum wage is going up to $17.29 an hour in 2023, in line with Consumer Price Index rate.

I work downtown in the center of the office buildings. Within a 3 block radius of the building there were the approximately 15 places to go for lunch. There are now 3. The current min wage is $15.87 an hour and they still can’t get anybody to work. But even if they could they would be hard pressed to survive as a lunch spot paying those wages. It’s simply not possible and nobody talks about it being the reason they are all closing.

This is an example of big city liberal politics where the so-called leaders pass laws that look good for them but are totally unrealistic in the real world. Yet another example of why I am happy to be leaving Denver proper.

IT makes no sense to me. Minimum wage is not meant to support an adult. Get an education, get some job training, and apply yourself. The left continues to run this economy into the toilet.

Here in my town in PA, we have several restaurants closing because they have to keep raising prices to make a profit, and people have severely cut back on eating out, so they have to raise prices more. A vicious cycle

And in the end, the only thing it slowed down was the economy (and ruined peoples lives) unnecessarily. Masks do not slow down a virus, neither does social distancing, and neither does washing your hands frequently. Even their shots didn’t stop the virus. They shut down businesses and destroyed lives for nothing. The Government did things not to protect us but as an exercise in how much they could control us. They learned a lot about how effectively they could control a populace using the mainstream media and politics to promote their lies and control us.

NFL Gamepass has become NFL+ Premium. One of the new benefits is that local games can be watched live on your phone or tablet. I’m an old guy with bad eyes, so watching on my phone is not really a good option. So I thought, cool, I can watch games on my tablet. Well, Amazon is special and so my Fire tablet is not eligible for the NFL app (also no MLB Audio on the Fire). I think my next tablet will be an iPad.

shoot, i can’t seem to get a tweet to load on here…

but it’s a super good one, it shows how the vikings gave up the most points at the end of each half, in the history of the NFL….

it’s CRAZY!!!

Hey all. Tell me you’re a geek without telling me you’re a geek. I’ll start.

Back in the late ’70s when I was in 4th grade, the cool dudes were starting to carry around those huge boom boxes on their shoulders. Wanting also to be a cool dude, I asked for one for Christmas. I got a tape recorder.

I strutted around the playground at recess with that on my shoulder, maxed out volume so distorted I was the only one who could recognize the songs I had recorded by laying it next to the stereo speaker at home. MAN, was I a cool dude!

I remember using that type of cassette recorder to build my own music cassette tapes that I would play in my car. I was a cool dude…LOL

Of course, that was after the 8-track players went out of style, LOL!

golfing day, see y’all tomorrow.

While I’m gone if anyone out there who believes the J6 committee has actually “produced evidence to bury him 10x over”, as was stated in yesterday’s open thread, could produce any of this evidence rather than just parroting a narrative hoping it’s true that would be great. I can review tomorrow. I don’t expect it’ll take me long.

Take care skoloholic degenerates

I see no laws there or evidence of law breaking. And if the search was so on the up and up, why were his lawyers barred from the building? Why did they go through Melania’s clothes? Why, if they were performing a search on the up and up did they try to have the security cameras disabled? Why didn’t they simply get a subpoena for the documents they were after? Every president has taken documents from the White House and none of them were raided. Hillary destroyed subpoenaed evidence and nothing. Hell, the Clintons stole antique furniture and artwork, but no big deal.

Ah, yeah I forgot that the rule is Orange Man bad, don’t question it or anything else. It is perfectly ok for somebody to lie on an FFL form and video tape themselves doing crack while holding a firearm. Definitely no laws broken there.

So you are in favor of weaponizing the DOJ and FBI to go after political opponents?

FBI cconfiscates Rep. Scott Perry’s phone after he calls for action on AG Garlin
FBI MISSES deadline for Hunter Biden laptop
along with…
Did they ever confiscate Eric Swalwell’s cell phone after his Fang Fang affair?
Did they ever confiscate Ilhan Omar’s cell phone to look into potential immigration fraud?
Did they ever confiscate Nancy Pelosi’s phone after refusing National Guard protection on J6?
NOPE only Republicans.
But I’m sure YOU are good with ALL of that!!!
